I haven't read all of this, but i have my own theory.
I apologise in advance if this has already been mentioned.
1.The object in the trailer isn't a halo. It is the ark, which is shaped more like a diamond. I think this because at the end of halo 2, all the holographic halos that keyes asks to be shown, move to reveal a diamond shaped "beacon".
2.I also think that when the beacon is triggered, the halos are "summoned" and will form around earth (Don't know whether they'll fit, i doubt it but if not then maybe they'll just form near earth). This, in turn, would lead to Cortana, Arbiter and Johnson returning (a point i haven't seen yet).
3.I think this could lead to a great gameplay element, the chief in a race against time to shut off the beacon before the halos arrive at earth. Obviously the game wouldn't be timed ,(That would be stupid), but more every end of level cutscene you would see how close the halos are to earth.
Let me know what you all think.
The "doomed object" as bungie likes to call it is in fact possibly not the ark. The doomed object being the ark is just one common THEORY
I agree, the thing on earth is not necessarily a halo or the Ark. When the Arbiter asks Guilty Spark where the Ark is, we don't hear the answer we just see the Earth and we all asssume that it is the Ark. Another thing is that in First Strike, in the ned when the Covenant have built the Unyielding Hierophant there are 500+ ships around it. Cortana intercepts covenant orders that order ships to gather here and that the final destination is the earth. If they don't know that the human homeworld is the earth why such a huge fleet?
I wonder if the prophet who gets to earth in the beginning of Halo 2 was going to meet the fleet or something and so was surprised that it wasn't there. This has holes I know and not really sure I even agree with it, I'm just kinda thinking out loud. Also in the Fall of Reach a little covenant probe attaches itself to Captain Keyes ship The Iroquois after a battle that will record all the travels of the ship. What if other ships have gotten these things and that is how they found out about earth? Plus, at the very end of First Strike, Brutus is talking to the prophet who says that the destruction of the fleet was "only a minor setback." What does that mean? Well I'm done for now. Hope I haven't been repeating stuff.
Remembe what the deal is? They are all promised to go on the great jorney if they are in the covenant, so they were most likely trying to get as many people there so they could get underway sooner.
Also, the thing on the Iriquois didn't really do much since they already knew REACH's location and they didn't go back to Earth in that thing..
I'm guessing they found the location of Earth from a crystal similar to the one on Cot'd Azur (sp?) that led the to REACH (also location of a Forerunner artifact)..
The 'minor setback' was most likely because the Prophet's don't give a damn about the Covenant, they just want power - and as long as they're alive they will do whatever possible to get there, wether they have 15 ships going into a seemingly uninhabited planet, or it being 500 ships doing the same thing..
