Good point and it does appear a crater has been dug to access it.

Man this seems soooo close. But I read annihil8or's post and he brings up plate tectonics, which pretty much defets the theory of a halo buried across the earth's circumference. Nothing buried at that (relatively shallow) depth would widthstand the movement of the tectonic plates. Around the lateral circumference of the earth that passes through Voi there are between 5-7 plate boundaries, one of which, the mid-atlantic ridge, is divergent, and would pull and break the halo apart. There is no circumference of the earth that doesn't run into a tectonic plate boundary...
I really wanted this theory to be true, but it still seems to have its faults. You still seem to be closer to figuring this out than anyone else I've seen, and you've done damn fine job with this theory.

Scarab rifle? WTF? You say thats a dumb thing for me to say? IT looks nothing like a damn halo at ALL. Even look at a picture of a scarab ( the hole in the center and the thigns around the side are exactly the same). So now we have it sounding and looking like a scarab main gun and with your theory it makes no mathamatical sense.


ARGHHH! YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE HURTS MY BRAIN!!

Its not the ring itself, its the bloody circle on the OUSTIDE SURFACE of the other rings HENCE the theory.

My GOD!

good point and besides wouldnt magama from volcanoes destroy thering if it touched which after so long it would have done

  • 05.13.2006 3:15 AM PDT

Hey, these guys are Forerunners! Im sure they would have figured out a way of avoiding the effects of the tectonic plates and magma! I mean, come on! They built Halo! A weapon that can cause damage on a galactic scale!

How much tectonic motion has happened in the last 100,000 years? Enough to destroy or pull apart a superstructure built by the Forerunners maybe only precision slipspaced under the Earth's crust in the last 100,000 years. Also my theory contains the consequent destruction of our Earth and our Halo so it would of only needed to be engineered to perform this task not remain as a structurally sound deep space installation. Perhaps it is also the reason only the Earth is believed to be the only planet in our solar system with a geothermic core

Yeah lets not forget this is a replica of a ring that explded when a ship blew up on it

Yeh, I forgot about that.

lol i never understood how despite it just being a simple, granted very big explosion the ring shouldnt of exploded and even though it looked cool why did the big chunk of ring blow inwards with gravity and the explosion it should of blown outwards surely

yeh but this ring would be buried by at least a kilometer of dirt so explosions wouldnt have destroyed it
but it would still be destroyed tectonic plate movement

Have you guy read the thread about the lights in MCs HUD in the trailer? They talk about how tthe lights were a way of comms between the Spartans in the book and MC has light flashing in his HUD in the trailer. Once those lights have stopped he nods his head.
Also he talks about the 9 banshees escorting 1 spectre towards the centre of the structure. Once the structure begins to open the banshees and spectre pull awau from the structure and the 2 capital ships also pull away from it. As if they were afraid, as if the activation of the structure wa unintentional.
Very interesting stuff.

Well you could just read what i posted about it all being too discrete and what no check it out there, it would be silly to discuss it in this topic.

Well thats an intresting point but it is also important to remember no matter how good halo is its merely a game

First off, I support this theory. In fact, I'll go so far as to build on to it. Everything that has been said is logical, besides it being a communication beacon. If you remember, the beacon from Delta halo was fired from the inside of the sructure to the outside. That means that it requires two signals to meet to created what happened on Delta. Now, unless something is communicating through the eye of the storm (in the Halo 3 trailer) with what we saw, a warning beacon seems unlikely.

However, one part of the trailer caught my eye. It was right as the structure was lighting up, and had naught but a blue, eerie aura around it. Take a look. Now, look on the exterior of Delta halo. You see a similar blue light.

Upon inspection of the 'exterior of Delta halo' screen, I saw that the original poster was indeed correct about the 14 panels on the smaller circles, and it was very prominent on the larger one that they came in pairs, just like the structure in the trailer. Now look at another screen that I took after blowing up the Delta halo picture. You see the faint blue glow in the center of the circles, and you see the 14/12 panels. Look here.

And finally, one thing that nobody (I think) has touched on. Do the panels really need to stay up? Maybe they are just traveling upwards because of some process in the activation of the structure. After it is activated, the panels go down and lay flat. Why would I mention this, especially if my theory seems to state that Halo is firing? Indeed, if Halo fired, there would be no need to mention the panels dropping back down. We'd all be dead.

I am not suggesting that it's a warning beacon, and I'm not suggesting it's firing. I'm certainly not suggesting it's a Scarab blast (though I have no objection to the theory, I don't support it). What am I suggesting? Halo is booting up. The covenant have found it, they've found a button (for lack of better words), and they've pressed it, not knowing what it was. Now this halo's own gravity is starting up, its habitats are starting to shoot up, and its structures have gotten an energy source.

Now I'll come back to why the panels would drop down again. If you look at the screenshot, you'll see that the panels are not up, and rays of blue light are not shooting out of the holes. Now look at this screenshot and you'll see that when the panels are down, they actually do not cover the circle part of the structure. Compare this to the Delta halo screenshot I presented before, and you'll see I am right. I suspect that the giant blast of light shoots up as we see in the trailor, and then simmers down, fading to a blue light like we saw in the screenshot.

Now, there are a few possible outcomes to this theory. One is that Earth will be destroyed by the new gravitational pull of halo or even something else, and all that will stand in its place is another halo. Another (though the most unlikely) is that Earth has a hollow area around the halo, and you could go into Earth and walk around the halo. Not really possible. The third theory is that you can walk inside of this halo. In other words, it is hollow. Either it is one big building or something, or it is an enclosed, artificial habitat. Either way, it supports the theory.

Just something to chew on.

If there is a Halo beneath the Earths surface then it would have to be a rooved struture. Artificial environtment but would but enclosed, sort of like High Charity.

  • 05.13.2006 4:48 AM PDT

Also, I dont know if youve noticed this, but the lightning coming from the strom seems blue, not bright white. Watch it and look at the eye of the storm.

man your theory is absolutely aawesome, it makes sense to the mark, now we will see if it is true and if it is that would be absolutely awesome. and the gravity would work aswell because it would have the same as earths.

The glass is neither half full nor half empty; it's just twice as large as it needs to be.

Hmm... Seems logical, but no one ever said this Halo (if it is one) has been there for long. I'm sure that if it has been there for quite some times this Halo is overloaded with strain. But! No one ever said it has been there for long. Don't make hasty conclusions. If you make hasty conclusions you'll be disappointed to see the final game is different. We'll find out eventually what's up with this Halo.

I think you cracked Halo3 right down the spine on that one except with only afew things. You said the arch and halo are in earth, I beleive earth is the arch, its uniquie because it was constructed into a planet so anyone on the planet will live. Antarctic would mean Top Of Arch and Arctic would mean Bottom Of Arc (sorry if it is the other way around but I was never quite able to tell the difference). I also think that the humans aren't the forunner but the grays are the forunners. The grays have told us things and have been coming to earth to tell us to stop mining out the planet or we will accidentally stumble upon the flood. This would also explain why in an isolated part of an african jungle a fateful disese some consider "alien" is thriving, i forgot the name. This would also explain the very strong religous beleifs around the equator, the ancients were created by the forunners thats why their gods are "The Creator" and that they come down from the sky in heavenly lights, this is also all around the world but is mroe powerful in the equators cultures. Funny, Bungie based their game on everything that could be real in order to make it realistic.

Good show! Best theory about Halo EVER!!!

EDIT:
I also reckon that the Halo was built into earth, as the forunners created earth, they are to our days standards "Gods". It was built there because if there was no life in the Universe there would be nothing to live it, its there cuz they made teh mistake by experimenting with life, they created teh flood and needed something to wipe them out whilst preserving life, so thats why they built the main Halos and one with a planet they made for it so the life on earth has a shield and a sword

Halo Empire got it. It makes total sense and about the plate tectonics. If the forerunners could build articicial worlds(The Halos) along with having to fight the flood and also them being billions of years ahead of technology they've already porbably learned how to predict plate movement along with completly securing the halo under Earth against the movement.

Anyway I mainly agree with Empire Halo due to the ,that's kind of what I've been thinking and with Empires theory and evidence i've decided what i'll say.

In the first Halo I think that while the covenant where exploring Halo they found a map of another Halo. So they probably called the prophets(I know the prophets weren't ever mentioned in the first Halo but since you see High Charity in the beggining of Halo2 probably a day or so after Halo's destruction the prophets would of had to have been there.) Anyway they called for the prophets and showed prophet Regret this map. After Halo's destruction the Soliders that showed Regret the map had either been killed by the explosion or massaacured by flood. After that Regret was on his own so with the map of the other Halo and around 15 ships of a covenant excavation ships they moved to this Halo.Once there though they discovered that we were there. A fully devoloped planet of the heritcs. Now I think we were stumbled on by accident. The forces we at the end of H2 are the reinfrocements Mercy probably asked for. Anyway, after they landed the covenant had to secure the city since it was actually on top of a control center. Like what we see in the H3 trailer and the last cutscene of H2. At the beach of outskirts when Cortana says "The heaveist concentration of men is directly beneath the ship, I guess they don't want you on board." It really means that they don't want to be interupted form their holy work on this new Earth Halo. Along with the fact that they don't want the master Cheif to blow it up(that is a really big fear of theirs now isn't it). Once they finished their work their they probably found another map which leads me to beleive that each Halo leads to another Halo so the reclaimer has no trouble finding and activating the rings if the cordinates ever become lost which did happen. Anyway once they found Earth Halo they also found a map to Delta Halo which is where they jumped too and this can be proved since what would the chances be of them jumping straight to a Halo if they guessed meaning they would have had to have found a map. Also since there's this Earth Halo, like what Empire Halo said chances are the arc is there since well pretty much what Empire Halo said.
