This theory was so well thought out till the filler was needed and he made up an eighth halo (contrary to all the media on and about Halo). Why does this Forerunner artifact have to be a Halo. We don't know that the Arc doesn't serve the same purpose as your "Eighth Halo", so let's leave it at the ark instead of this longshot "Eighth Halo"....

I've had my own thoughts about what the artifact is, but this is the first one i've seen that actually makes sence. All the reserch that was done really paid off and i agree 100%. This has got to be what it is or els i just don't know anymore.

"the only thing we have to fear is fear it self..... and monsters"

y would you say it can't be an eighth Halo i mean its a possible idea its not much of a long shot. i mean you dont know what the Arc could possibly be.It makes more sense that it is in the shape of halo then anything that you have suggested.

i just read the begining of this thread and i've also read some other people's view on the theory. so far the ones who disagree haven't showed any evidence to prove this wrong, and the theory makes so much sense it makes it almost obvious that it's completely right.


i agree with this theory and i think you hit the nail on the head. congrats.

ok, to Kamizar over there about the "Arc" or the "Eighth Halo" or whatever, being destroyed by magma isn't a logical point... Empire over there said that it prolly has a shield, which, from my point of view, would prolly protect it from heat and "magma". i agree with miked23 in that it is prolly a main function in the firing of the other halo rings... heres my theory

If someone wanted to fire the halos, then they have to set one off, like in Delta Halo, and then go to the "object" on earth and perform some sort of confirmation sequence to finalize the process. Hence, the Covenant going to earth and digging up the bloody halo/arc/scarab gun/object

Alrite, asuming that cortana doesn't get "In Amber Clad" up and running, and bring the bloody gravemind to earth... you're still going to have to fight them (The Flood). Like Empire said, there is prolly sentient forms of flood on the object in the trailer, which will unleash a hoard of ravaging infection forms, effectively making the game much more better

Actually it looks and sounds like a very large scarab primary gun. Also it never seems to amaze me how in october 2004 joseph staten the head of cinimatics stated the forerunners don't remain in our galaxy any longer and eyt people still say humans are the forerunners. You ARE NOT A FANboi. Every person that has ever been in the forums have said or thought atleast once we are the forerunners which is enough proof to me we not. Then we have a bungie staff member say this.

The point is it's a large scarab gun . Notice the things around the side and the hole in the middle resemble a large scarab gun and it has the same sound but louder then a scarab gun. It doesn't look like a halo at all halos have no middle. Ask any of the "elders" of plot theorization many months ago came to the conclusion that the scarab gun was a mining tool. Which makes sense based on what an actual scarab it. It's firing at the moon and it is going to uncover a ship. THAT ship is the ark . You seem to forget about noahs ark and in there the ark being a ship. Also halos are disks that fly over the head of angels and the halos from halo float over planets not inside planets.

P.S some people have a hard time using logic to make comparisions the thing showed us what halo we were on and in halo 2 were on the second smallest halo. The first smallest is maybe 3/4 of the one were on. That was 3 miles wide and in no way resembled a halo.

thats the dumbest theory ive ever heard
first
how could it be a scarab gun if the covenant BUILT scarabs
they didnt know the location of earth until after the events of the first halo
so how could they have built it however many thousand years ago
second
the architecture looks nothing like covenant design
its gray and has very little reflectivness
it almost exactly resembles the outer parts of the halo ring super structers
and has the same designs and ingravements on the outside
in no way could the covenant have any relation to it involving the construction
third
if the moon was the ark than why would they have some huge scarab
cannon firing at it?
and besides
it would be completely illogical and a huge waste of rescources considering
that instead of moving everyone to the moon within a certain amount of time
you could have had everyone safe where they were on earth and fire it at will
your theory is baseless and lacks fact
think a little harder next time

actually the moon theory is pretty good. ive said it before, but there IS a concept art picture floatin around somewhere, with a faint outline of a halo around the moon. im not saying there is one, it could just be symbolic.

if they need a finalising sequence why did nobody come to earth to activate the ring in H1?

ya i thought that if you activate the sequence on one halo it fires them all
but if the index is yanked in the process
it sends an emergency message to put all the halos on standby to
make them ready to fire by remote activation
enter....the ark

it looks exactly like the station the Forerunner ship launched out of in H2 - I forget the level, but the ship MC grabs on to headed towards earth - why would a halo be under the earth's crust and not just next to earth? isn't the point of the halos to study and contain the flood? it wouldn't be very accessible under the earth's surface - my weak theory is that possibly the ark is a ship that will launch out of the massive artifact we see in the trailer, which hits 88 miles an hour and then travels thru time

Another reason that this makes sense is that the covenant did not want to "glass" the planet. This may be because they knew there was somthing there and did not want it to be destroyed. This was an amazing theory, and the guy who thought of this should be proud.

Either that, or you have conveniently skipped over the posts that provide evidence. Read my posts and don't forget about common sense.

"the only thing we have to fear is fear it self..... and monsters"

The reason the Arc hadn't activated the other Halo is becuase no one knew where it was. but now the covinent have found it

  • 05.26.2006 3:36 PM PDT

Sorry to break it to you but all planets are in the shape of a halo (circular).
Oh and wtf if it was a halo there wouldent be humans on it, flood everywhere, and wouldent it be like the rest of the halo..... IT IS THE CONTROL ROOM OF ALL NO HALO!

I would like to say that the artifact that is on the outside of New Mombasa is more than likely the arch that the "oracle" or "guilty spark" was talking about to the arbitar and capt. keyes. Also if you had read the books reference the glassing of the planets, reach wasn't not fully glassed, with that being said, the Covenant knew exactly where the istallation of the Forerunner's technololgy was. They would have glassed earth, as much that it could have with out damaging the site where they were to dig. It's the logical explanation. Kill the humans on earth where they could afford to and then dig, dealing with the human resistance as they saw fit until the covenant got what they were looking for.

Read further before putting your foot in your mouth. And don't take it out of context.

Not to double post but does it really look like the Earth has been partly glassed! ````~~~~~```` .............WOW OBLIVIOUS!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Original theory = pooie, except for the part about the Flood. you looked wayyy to far into the geographic part, there is no Halo in Earth, and the slipspace/teleportation part you mentioned is impossible in the Halo universe.

Also, a whole Halo ring would not be inserted into the Earth when all that is needed is one (or two) structures.

Don't know much about the whole halo story, but It kinda looks like that thing was dropped there from space and its opening up, but I imagine I would leave a much bigger hole.
