What Color does a smurf turn when you choke it?

Do you think that the ark can protect Earth from a activation of the rings?. Going by the theory that the humans are the forerunners and the forerunners left life on earth to develope after they activated the rings i wonder how the rings didnt wipe it out. It's halfbaked but w/e.

Please, no one state the obvious like "The ark is a remote activation for the halos" . I

That is the Ark, I believe I read it on the Weekly Update but it should be the Ark. The Ark isnt supposed to be a protector of Earth, its simply the Doomsday device that activates all the Halos simultaneously and pretty much wipes out the Galaxy. See activating a Halo only destroys all thats in a certain radius (I forgot how large), but in case of a major outbreak, the Ark is used to pretty much destroy everything, so thats why the Humans were still alive and everything in your theory because the Forerunners only activated one ring.

* If you choke a Smurf, what color will it turn?

Possibly, and maby they didnt have flood testing anywhere near earth because they had special plans for it. Such as a area for creating their own species or as a fallback to leave some type of DNA if the flood defeat them

some plp are saying that humans may be forerunner desendants so they built the arc on Earth to activate all halos at the same time to wipe out life as the halos have a limited blast radius

But if the forerunners had a galaxy spanning empire, (and im assuming when you said they only fired one halo that meant that the other six stayed cold) then why did they all die?

right at the end of Halo 2 that the ark is the failsafe for the rings incase an activation is suddenly terminated

I am...whimsical today.

It could just be me, but the sides of the Artifact (I assume we've established that its the Ark) looked alot like blast shields.

I go by many names, Shinigami, osiris, thanatos, Ares are but a few. But my name is not important for i am god and i am coming for you.

i am a master of my trade with these two hands i create great works. What is it i do?? ... well lets hope for your sake you never find out.

Like guns?? so do we, join Halo Armory and you can too

it said that every living thing cabable of sustaining life within 3 galacti "of the galactic centre" would die. which means that earth could be seen as the galactic centre as it was where the ARK was based?

Maybe noa is inside waiting for us...

BRING TWO OF EVERY SENTIENT SPECIES!!

thats why the ships took off, they had already given two of each and have gone off to die quietly, but they werent fast enough

Spartan you nailed it man, me and my homie came up with a theory like this around February. The Ark is like a bunker and we are probably the descendants of the Forerunners.
