We are all going to get banned aren't we?

So many flaws.


1. Where in primordium was it stated or even implied they were at an Ark? All i remember from ONI is "Other Arks?".

2. The Ark we know of was obliterated.

3.Cortana is just now about to be 7, she isn't going to be alive for another 7 years in that circumstance.

4.Infinity isn't going to be flown anywhere close to Earth, you can clearly see in Glasslands that they want to keep the project hush hush.

5.Master chief is still going to be using Mark VI it will just get unknown enhancements (probably nanites). No armor we have would be able to stand up to serious forerunner technology.


6. I don't recall it being a shield world (even though it is most likely) nor do i remember even seeing a "Tractor beam". even Frankie said you shouldn't take that Teaser with much weight since it isn't going to be like that. (OXM article IIRC)

7. It was never stated that the SIV's are currently on infinity. Even if they are it was probably because it is a isolated location, perfect to get their augmentations and training.

Not to mention i think it was already confirmed that we aren't going to be seeing other spartans. Especially since the trilogy is going back to halo's roots, not to mention the Flak Reach is getting.

8. Again, it isn't going to be Mark VII and it wouldn't matter if it was.

How was Cortana gonna see the whole thing while she was inside John's head after she got the ship moving? Besides John was even looking away from the explosion anyhow.

How has she seen anything ever. She can see through his visor. The point for me is that no one can say what happened. Plus i am not with destroyed but heavily damaged. Still if something was heavily damaged does not mean it does not have emergency protocoles. These may exist and allow the ark to survive.

Remember how 07 survived by sacrificing parts of itself. The ark could have done the same thing and not only that but could have a system for a premature firing. This could involve tech that are timelock to keep the surviving parts in timelock and then let the installation be fixed.
Or one could use a combination of tech, like crumble tech that is used in cars, where the bumper is supposed to crumble so that the force is decreased by a great amount. There is always a way.

I believe that heavily damaged could occur but not so bad that it is not functional at all. Somewhat still functional and releasing a distress beacon. Now forerunners can send messages alot faster than the average human which is why the infinity could have got the co-ordinates to its destination.

And do you know that was a process going on for awhile right? It wasn't done in 20 minutes. Not to mention it was confirmed in several places that the ark was obliterated (exact words) look up "The Halo Array" on waypoint.

True they may say obliterated but in what context, as in ripped to shred and not even functional. or heavily damaged with emergency protocols taking place. Maybe it was destroyed but it could have released and emergency signal before breakdown.

Seriously, do people not know the definitions behind words nowadays?

First remorse,Then exhausted, now obliterated? Really people?


The Ark is Destroyed, Waypoint itself says this and if i check "The Pedia" i am sure it will also. End of story.


If i tell you that my turtle died are you going to tell me that it could still be alive somehow?

Remember, Cortana was in the ship by that point, that was the first thing Chief did after he got up from the Warthog crash into the Dawn's hanger, put Cortana into the Dawn's computer system.

And anyway, I'm neutral on the whole issue of whether the Ark is destroyed or not, I'm not too inclined to believe that it is going off the shear size comparison between it and a Halo ring. Sure it would probably be very heavily damaged at best, but I'll withhold any kind of judgements on whether it was destroyed or not unless we learn something pretty definite.

The size of the halo ring doesn't matter whatsoever. Explain to me how you are willing to accept that it can destroy life within 25,000 lightyears but for some irrational reason cannot accept that it destroyed something like the ark with a tactical fire? When the master builder used a ring in Cryptum it devastated an entire planet and it was obviously on a type of setting or else it could have done far worse.


The Ark is destroyed. It is a confirmed fact, stop denying it for some perverse reason.
