Why are we thinking this artifact is a weapon?

Couldn't this thing be a barricade of some sort, a blastdoor, and it's opening. And the huge amount of light at the end could be a way which this door is opened...

What if Earth was also containing Flood... Or other beings (plot twist)?


Not so hypothetically... right?

Yea that would explian alot because they are talking about going to the arc at the end of halo 2 and that is some sort of weapon. And then in the trailer they have unearthed that big gun thingy. Maby that is like a thing that activates all the halos but protects earth???

Still, I'd think that Earth is not a weapon...

The Ark isn't a weapon either. It's function is to activate the other five remaining rings (which are on stand-by, remember).

Wrong. If you notice, the light is coming FROM the artifact not GOING to it. Also, they aren't going to introduce any new enemy because this is the last in the trilogy. It would end this game with an even bigger cliff-hanger than H2.

And the other rings aren't on stand-by. Only the Delta Halo is on stand-by.

No, I mean that the light is coming from inside... and it would burn open that way.

Guilty Spark said something about 'Safety-protocol if a ring would be deactivated'. The other rings are on stand-by, he also said.

(sorry, not trying to bump this tread)

Down, down to hell and say that I sent you there...

I came into the world with my legs forward and a woman cried "he was born with teeth!"

"I had no father I am like my father...I had no brother I am like my brother...And this word, "love" which old farts call divine be resident in men like you -blam!-. But not in me, I am my mother-blam!- self, alone."

Actually, at the end of Halo 2, Monitor says that all the rings are on standby and are waiting on the trigger from the Ark.

No one said that Earth was a weapon. They say it is the Ark, which controls the weapons (Halo's) that can wipe out all life of suffiecient biomass to support the flood.

and there is 6 remaining rings as far as we know.

Did he say specifically that the other rings were ready? Please, if he did, quote him as I haven't played through the whole campaign in a while.

Just believe me, okay? I'm a real Halo-nerd... xD

But what about my theory?

If you would release a teaser, that includes the end of the game, wouldn't it be a teaser anymore? More likely a spoiler.
This trailer doesn't show the end of the world... But the beginning of the end.

Your mother is so fat, she tried to jump through Halo and got stuck.

Go check out ma file share. plz? lol

I wonder what would have happened if that random Prophet had not jumped inside the city? The whole wouldnt have ben there so I wonder if the Ark would have activated anyway or if it would have tried and blown it self up.
