It makes sense and probably all the halo's are not the same size, but i have a ques. why would a halo be under earth if it was meant to keep the flood from getting out and halo has like land on it so why would they put it under the earth's crust

hey guys

i dunno if this has been said (I didn't want to read 25 pages of posts), but IF (only IF) there was a Halo underneath the crust of the earth, then it would make sense that Cortana would say "this is the way the world ends" BECAUSE the chief and such would have to destroy the earth do destroy one of the halos. this is only if it was a halo.

elite cheif, ive been sayin that same point all day long, so yeah i agree

desert spartan, when cortana is saying 'this is how the world ends' what was meant, imo is that the ARK is activated and triggers the 6 halos. seeing as how you are only safe INside, then everything/one on earth will be destroyed. that's how the world ends

The lack of information is truely astounding in this topic.
The first poster had no evidence of this being true, other than the ring kinda looked like something on the outside of a halo.

...right...

The rest is just him listning to himself talk. Plus the fact of the curviture. Look how much the object in the crater curves, that ratio would make its diameter more like 50 miles, much too small for a Halo.

THE OBJECT IS NOT HALO. GET OVER IT.


You only show your ignorance.

You obviously stopped reading his post at some point and just assumed it was all filler; you fail to realize that it all fits together seemlessly. Go back and actually read the theory and you'll be astounded at what you can learn from simply listening.

u r right iceman assass1n, when cortana says "this is how the world ends" she means that the time o activate all the halo's is now, and when they activate them it will destroy the earth and who ever activated them will be in control which might be the prophets that remain, thats why they want it so bad because it could destroy everything making the prophets in hold of great force and power

I think this looks logical... However if the forerunners were really human they would have to live on a planet somewhere out there almost identical to ours. Also they would want to study the flood right so teleporting it to Earth would be the dumbest thing ever. How would you activate it? And does this explain why the covenant invaded Earth?(I think that is a noob question but according to the books they will simply glass the planet)

Nevertheless its a great theory and would be a great twist to see in Halo 3.

You only show your denial. A halo under ground makes so little sence it's laughable.
All evidence points to another answer.

i beleive the "super structure" is in fact the ark of the covenant and the forerunners built it


are you refering to the bible or not?
if so, dont'. it can get this thread locked.

You're -blam!- joking right? Halo has many many things based off of the bible in it, we can discuss it. Now the thing that can get it locked is promoting or down talking certain religions, or beliefs.

I dont think that there would be a Halo under Earth's crust. All the Halos that we know of in the orbit of gas giants, why would the Forerunner break the pattern by putting one in a planet?

but back on topic, ima believe dat the artifact in the trailer is the ark, but i doubt its a halo buried in the earth. i mean if the forerunners activated the halos 100,00 wouldnt it ..........blow up the earth its built in? i know the whole slipspace thing is an answer for that, but bungie isnt gonna go that far into detail. i think that for the sake of a casual gamer picking up on da storyline, its easier to introduce the ark at the end of halo 2, then follow it up with revealing it in halo 3

i still like the whole halo in the earth thing. it sounds pimp, but i still believe its just the ark itself

On a seperate line of thought, he must have been made pretty tough to withstand the halo explosion. Unless that teleporter got him to a safe distance.

No, it's not a "blast" but probably just a force that scrambles the central nervous system of everything that can think (could find a way into their body through their advanced minds, the same way the Flood do) to a point where the Flood cannot use their body and the person/animals would be dead.

GS is just an AI, and he cannot be effected, the same as a fly..nothing happened to the Flies anywhere..

This theory of Halo inside the Earth is rubbish. It sounds nice because Halo Empire has drenched his post with map references and measurements.

The enitre point behind the Halo design, is that it's an artifial space habitat. Clearly, there isn't going to be any artificial eco system under the eath's crust: or at least, not in the same way the halos are designed to support life. So why make a Halo under the earth?

As we saw at the end of Halo 2, the rings fire from the centre. How would the ring fire if it's centre is inside the Earth?

If you need to blow the earth apart to get the ring, what was the point of putting the damb thing in a planet in the first place? Clearly, the Forerunners built the system so it could used again if necessary. So why dump the the Ark where it would be useless?

if the ring spans round the Earth, it would be visible under the ocean. Why haven't the humans noticed it?

The tectonic movement of the Earth's crust within the last 100,000 years, would have damaged the structure. That is not something the Forerunners would have over looked.

No one has explained what the significance of having a halo inside earth is. Why bother? why not just build a ordinary structure? (like, say, the one in the Halo 3 trailer?)

Of course the structure is going to look like outer side of Delta Halo. All the Forerunner stuff has a simular design!

I'm sorry, but there's simply no reason why the Forerunners would make a Halo under the earth. The theory is rubbish.

Yeah...the theory = poo. It has no logic behind it rather than some map references (that really mean nothing, he just needs filler information to sound like it's a legit theory)

  • 05.25.2006 3:42 PM PDT

I'm not sure if this has been said or not, but in the book The Flood, when Master Chief first sees the Flood, he thinks it may be some kind of covenant bio weapon. Perhaps the Flood is actually a Forerunner weapon, with Halos being necessary precautions created to stop the Flood from getting out of hand, or possibly infecting friendly races throughout the universe.

Since the Flood can "controle" ones mind, and since the Forerunners are so advanced, maybe the Forerunners used their mental capibilites to prevent themselves from being infected. Leaving all "lesser" beings to fend for themselves agains the Flood.

This maybe more of a random thought, and I'm not sure I even want it to be true, but what the hell.

Nope. Not readin' that. It took me about 7 seconds to scroll down to the reply text box(that is the thing that I am typing in right now if you are stupid), so I didn't read it. Can't make me either. Unless, of course, you offer me a female...

zanzibar is on the east coast of africa, and on midship if u look out the window theres africa.....

Since what?

Also, Earth could be the Ark (Noah's Ark, keep us safe from the Flood), and there wold also HAVE to be a control room located here, cause the Earth just being in existance won't send a signal for the Halos to fire..so the control room (it being an Ark as well), could be the Ark of the Covenant; ultimate weapon.

Smoothie..it's all in Africa cause the human race is said to have started there. Also, them being there wouldn't matter cause the Ark is not a weapon itself, it is the trigger for the Halos, so no harm would come from it's beam..it's just [big blue glowy] communications.

Maybe that structure in the trailer is the device for activating the Halo rings. The Covenant still seem obsessed with the Great Journey (well, the Brutes, Prophets, Drones, and Jackals at any rate) so they would naturally want a way to activate the rings. Perhaps that is the control room.

i agree with your post but i believe that the a halo is not really under the earths crust but is the 'ARC' because at the end of H2 ( not quite sure but ill check ) they say something hinting about the ARC and that they were heading to earth so.... i agree
