Ok well after reading all these ridiculous far fetched ideas I've decided to try and launch some logic into this mostly irrelevant forum. Instead of brainstorming some ridiculous theory that has zero chance of being true lets use some logic... Maybe the banshee's didnt shoot because.... ITS A TRAILER?? Obviously the large presence of the Covenant was meant to basically instill the hoplessness of the situation. And while it is likely the Arbitar is back why would he possibly be in the trailer? Logic people, its an announcement trailer. And to all those who claim its cloned Spartans or surviving Spartans such as Kelly, Linda or Fred lets again use this thing called common sense. Bungie had never included any mention of surviving Spartans in their games. Why, please tell me why they possibly include Spartans into their thrid and final game of the trilogy? Sure to some extent it be sweet, but its completly un-Halo like. Also I dont understand the big confusion about the "dome structure". Clearly no one here really knows what it is but it makes sense to assume its the "ark". Which many of you know its in the Bonus DVD with Halo 2 and is slightly refrenced to at the end of Halo 2. Supposedly its the main control room for every single Halo, and when the Halo from H2 was stopped from firing everything went on standby and could only be stopped or reactivated at the "arc." Now hell it could be a Forerunner cereal plant, but it makes logical sense that it is the Arc and I believe it has good chance to be. Now this isnt really my opinion folks, this is, simply put, what things are MOST likely to be. Not some ridiculous theory, just plain logic in here. Thanks for reading, -Xavya

No matter what you do in life, you will disappoint someone.
No matter what you say, you will offend someone.
No matter what you think, someone will think you're an idiot.

Find and eliminate these people.

Logic! Dammit I knew something was missing from all these other threads. How could I forget my good buddy logic? Anyway, good post.

The Banshees either didn't see him or just ignored him.


Yes........... or ITS AN ANNOUNCMENT TRAILER? I dont know how many of you remember but there was a bunch of ridiculous amount of "theories" when Halo 2 was announced.

That isn't logic, it's just present realism mixed in with halo 3, and we know halo's are not completely logical. Blowing up a planet? Blowing a hole in the earth? yep, not logical.

Well of course the majority of video games in general arent logical but I'm refering to the large amount of ridiculous theories regarding the trailer. Were not comparing Halo 3 to life or some higher element here. Were talking about using your mind before trying to compare a Halo 3 trailer to the Bible. Honestly, need I say more?

The Banshees and the Cruisers show the immensity and epic porportions of what the Chief has to go through.

It's a quick made 2 min trailer, so theres is really no much stuff to see around other than improvement on the game, not much plot, so I hope people could wait for at least two more trailers for them to start making theories about the other spartan's coming back, about cortana being evil, about Dr. Halsey coming back or her beign the one on the trailer, etc..
My point is what we people need is patience and a little logic.

Its a simple trailer, nothing more. You people are looking TOO far into it and asking "what if?"

I agree... This forum is a joke, what with all the crackpot theories that people are churning out. Get a grip people, the only thing that could possibly be speculated about is what cortana says. Nothing beyond that.

First off, you say that it we all use common sense and that it is just a trailer. When the Halo 2 trailer came out some people speculated and said it was just a trailer. Bungie included it with some added content, the bomb. The trailer stayed.

Now we come to Halo 3 trailer. In the Q and A with Bungie, they say there is a lot of drama in the trailer. Lots of theories, but not as deep as some make it to be. Bungie has been known to mislead us before.

My point is that this trailer for Halo 3 could be a vision. When Cortana comes into view and says something to the point of "I know you, your past and your future", maybe it is a sequence in the game where the Master Chief is being shown this vision in his mind. "This is how the world ends" as Cortana puts it. The covenant eliminating all of earth's defenses and activating the Ark to start their great journey (destroy the universe).

This could answer the one question bothering many people. The reason why the covenant do not shoot at Master Chief when they fly by him. In the first two games, a banshee can detect him from distances. If they fly right overhead, they will know he is there. Which leaves the choices to be, either they are allied with Master Chief, or he is just not there physically. This could be Gravemind showing this to him, trying to push the Master Chief to stop the covenant. That way the flood could thrive.

Sorry if this turned into a theory, carry on.
