I must of missed some comfermation by bungie as people are saying that thing is the ARK, well can some one actualy prove it?

A couple things that are used to try and prove that thing is the ARK.

*The camera goes to earth when 343 GS says 'why the ARK of course'*

Technicaly the camera first goes to the foreruner ship the prophet of truth is on. Also the camera had no where else to go, their was action going on at delta halo and Earth as the camera was at delta halo the only place it could have gone was earth, as it is unlikely the camera is gonna go to the middle of space.

*The Prophet of regret came to earth for the ARK*

Well if he came to start the great journey why did he go into slipspace to just one halo when he could have launched the reamaininng 6 rings from the ARK? How did regret now the ARK was on earth in the first place? it was only in a later mission when the Arbiter captured 343 GS (the oracel) and i beleive the only time 343 GS mentioned the ARK was at the end of H2.


Thats all i can think of for now, feel free to add to it if you wish. The point in this thread is i want some one to PROVE that thing is the ARK.

the thing is that no one can PROVE its the ark cus the game hasnt come out yet, but that is the logical thing to think. What els could it be, some has suggested a thuster a dome a flood quarintene zone and even a HUGE popcorn maker the fackt is we dont know, and we wont know until the game is relesed in 2007

btw 343 was with tarterus and the prophet for quite some time who knows what that little dude told them

If you like to check for yourself on the DVD, I've found it under "Developing The Game" Ch: "Designing the Levels." The time within the movie of that image is 1:10 into the video.

Now, as you can see the board shows; "Earth_ARK_09," "Chief/Dervish." You can see the drawing of the structure definitely resembles the artifact in the Trailer. The "09" represents the original concept of Halo 2 having nine levels. Yes nine levels. To further to prove this is from the statement by Joseph Staten also in the DVD. It is under "Behind the Scenes: Making of Halo 2" about 32 minutes and 57seconds into the documentary. He states:

"So we had a game that was nine levels. Started at Earth and brought us out into the galaxy and then brought us back to Earth for this Grand Conclusion."

I'm quoting MrFuji in this post because he described the exact location very clearly.
