I've seen a lot of things that could have been answered if people just took some time to read around. Theories with pounds of evidence, trashed with a single "Yes", and stuff so here you go. If there's something I missed, tell me.

Things we know


-That is Master Chief.

Is the Spartan in the teaser trailer, John 117?

Yes.

-They are on Earth

Is that actually Earth?

Yes.

-Those are the Covenant in the cruisers (and the "Braille" on the sides says something along the lines of "engjeevm"), they are not on our side.

The Covenant have basically been in control of Earth since the final events of Halo 2. What was left of the human forces was either distracted by Delta Halo, or already overwhelmed by the sheer force of the Covenant onslaught.

My opinion on this is that they aren't attacking MC because A) They don't see him or B) There's a giant thing exploding in their faces.

-That is Cortana

Please have Cortana's lines pronounced so that I don't see 36 threads about it.

"I have defied gods and demons."

"I am your shield, I am your SWORD."

"I know you, your past, your future."

"This is the way the world ends."

But there's obviously something terribly wrong…

-The Grunt sign on the street was not made by the Covenant

Q
I spotted an Easter Egg in the trailer after I watched it a few times. How do you explain that?

A
The New Mombasa City Council had an incredibly efficient public works department until and even during the tragic and devastating Covenant invasion.

Translation: The sign was put there to say "Watch out for Grunts, they Bite."

-The ruins are of a space elevator

What's a space elevator? An elevator that takes stuff to space for cheap =)

Frank O'Connor is a 12-year veteran of the videogame magazine industry and has therefore never worked an honest day in his life.

hence the reason he posted it.

Lol, it kind of got annoying reading over the 80 pages in one topic to look for the key points
At least now it's all in one place.
