It has been a while since I have been on here constructively.

The below may not be "factual" information, but how I see everything.

I haven't read all of the topics on the boards. I just don't have time. I had found 2 good topics, but because of the activity of the boards, can no longer find them.

1. The Elites are NOT allied with the humans. The only reason why the Arbiter and John were on the same side was because they were being held by a creature greater than them both, and had a common goal. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." NO. They are not allied.

2. The Prophet wasn't present for the conversation about the Ark. (with The Oracle) There is no way that he knew from that source to look for the Ark.

3. In the trailer, the ships are NOT running from the site. Before it opens, they make no movement. After it begins to open and the shockwave spirals out, they all move out of the way (or are blown out of the way). The "domed structure" begins to open-- of course they move out of the way. It is assumed to be some sacred temple of some sort, the reason they came to Earth, no? Would you want to be responsible for damaging it? No thanks.

4. The whole biblical reference. Not word for word, but Earth strayed from the "covenant" with God, and those that were "bad" would be wiped out by the flood. Fighting the covenant = flood. (This is entirely true. Most of the flood was only released by the fighting/exploration of the two empires.)

Notice the "Gods/God" hasn't made an appearance yet. It is the Gods/God that causes the halos, the flood, etc. They/he/it remains detached. (Or dead, by some theories, memory failed in others)

Hey look, they are Halos of divine power! Gasp! The ark serves to provide some of the "innocent" creatures a hope in the future.

This revisits the part where the Oracle seems to only refer to humans as "reclaimers".

The names of the Oracles:
Penitent Tangent (the second one)
Guilty Spark (the first one)

Break down the independent pieces to each of the names. What do you get? Surprised?

5. Much of Cortana's speech seems to be much in the form that Gravemind spoke to both the Arbiter and John. "I am a monument to all of your sins" It uses a high amount of sentences with the "word" I. The beginning portion of her speech is that way. When it cuts to the part about Past, Future, etc, it seems the part has a different "feel" to it. It just isn't the same. (If it hadn't had stated that she said Sword, I would swear she said source)

Cortana randomly appearing in the middle of nowhere, projected by nothing. Can't say that has ever happened before. Cinematic device? I don't think so. What ability could Gravemind tap on Halo? Where is he now? A bit of a coincidence.


What gods and demons has Cortana defied? Try Gravemind. John is referred to as a demon in H2, and the Halos represent the gifts of the Gods, or the "Forerunners" < Try breaking that word down to its roots. Big surprise, no?



I don't claim any of this to be "new" or "fantastic". This is what I see in the games past and the trailer.

I would rant in some other topic, but with all of the activity, I can't even find the ones I had taken interest in before.

Take it as you see it.

The flaming, commenting, and possible locking may commence now.

....uhhhh none of your "thoeries" really amount to anything, all you do is state thing which we already know and add some opinions in there, you arent really relating it to the story or even anything at all....it needs some refining...

If you're so smart, you will be able to tell me when the phrase "The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend" really came from:
A: Alien VS. Predator
B: The Cold War
C: MLG
D: Halo 2

Well, originally I believe it was an old Arabic proverb.

It was first applied to "World Affairs" During WWII between France, Britian, and later the United States. They didn't care for the Russian way of doing things, but they provided another opponent to Hitler's Army in Europe.

This concept then spilled into the Cold War.

So I would say the best answer is B.


And to the comment of "all you do is state thing which we already know" I didn't claim it to be new. A majority of the topics I did find to read had quite a few people claiming many things that I don't find to be accurate. (Elites are allied to US!$%#)^PI%<NBFG:LJKGN)

The concepts spanned several topics, and tracking them down would be quite a task, even with the assisitance of the Stickies.

if you read the update when frankie is typing out what Cortana says he capatilizes SWORD. Maybe that is because people thought i was source or SWORD stands for something. Maybe it is an acromyn
