I guess they figured something might shoot out or something.

I don't think it's that deep! Maybe they just wanted a good view of the artifact being activated. Front row seats would be blinding in such an event.

  • 05.22.2006 11:22 AM PDT

No to the view.

They flew out to the middle just to turn exactly when the cover opens.

They didn't expect it to open at that time meaning a suprise operator.

  • 05.22.2006 11:26 AM PDT

Just some suprised Covs.

Am I crazy or is it a perfect explanation(See above)

I know the exact answer. I pondered this myself, and decided to check it out. The ships almost "retreating" from the arc suggests that even the Covenant did'nt quite know what they were dealing with, I mean a huge structure emerging from the ground would kinda off stead ya too, wouldn't it?

Uhh... I don't know why no one thought of this, but maybe they were Elite controlled ships, since the elites know the real purpose of the Halos?


GAMER


No.

The only currently living Covenant or Ex-Covenant that know about the Halo's true purpose are the Arbiter and Truth (although, there is a possibility that 343 only told Truth and Mercy what they wanted to know, i.e. how to activate the ring. What will happen after this, goes the logic, is irrelevent, as they are willing to activate the Halo. Or, seeing the Chief's reaction when he learned what the ring did, he doesn't want the same reaction out of his captors). Not even Half-Jaw knows.

The wind moved ther ships out of position it took a minute to start up the engines and they were fightened by the giant metal things coming at them so they fleed

  • 05.22.2006 4:24 PM PDT

True but intelligent people wouldn't laugh.

I am sure they would be doing the same if in our shoes.

I would love to know the story now as many would and the truth is that I will hear it before I get a chance to finish the game when it is released.

I probably won't be able to afford the game and the x-box 360 by then so this is all I have.

Bungie could probably sell so much advertising on their site right now they couldn't fit it all.

They should see about getting on the side of a Nascar while they are at it. An H3 car would be cool. If I worked there I would be a marketing fool. They may not need it but neither does coke or nike and they are eveywhere.

Back on subject. Someone shoud just make the H3 from start to finish and let's hear it. Not one part but all of it.

This game may be as big as H1 and H2 combined.

Come on think about this guys the guy definately has a point but the covanent might be tring to destroy Earth maybe it a bomb being set to blow at a certain time and i realize that their are alot of covanent capital ships in the area some of you might be like "Why would they set a bomb when their around well maybe its all to destroy the MC? Ever think of that. But theres also a chance that all his companions like "other spartans" might not be dead. why would they keep creating new suits surely not just for 117

[Edited on 5/22/2006]

Not true. Only the ship closest to the MC moved from the wind. It flew sideways from the gust.

The ship to the right never budged, probably because of it's direction and location. These thing move based of real calculations I suppose.

As a mater of fact here is what I see everytime.

Front ship is pushed sideways from the air and then moves away(maybe dodging the metal prong things. It is outside the perimeter.

Right Ship never budges and actually is inside the metal prongs, so it isn't moving out of the way of the prongs which means neither is the front one. That would be stupid nonsense.

The Dropship and Banshes instantly flee upon the dust coming out (not wind)probably just a normal reaction but I am positive they knew nothing of what was happening as I would bet no ship there did. Those 9 ships that flew into the middle would feel no effect just like the right ship didn't.

They go up and left and right like they broke away and were not influenced by the wind.

Also they are completely cut out of the next scene which is physically impossible being the distance and time from cuts.

I think that points to 2 seperate events. I would guess this is 2 different scenes cut together. Sounds crazy but have you read other posts.

Give me a logical reason the Dropship which turns left is out of the picture and nowhere in sight. There is not one sign of any ships that flew by and dispersed.

Before you say they flew away it is not possible in the least they would not be visible still, and not even one of the nine were.

This is probably a dream and reality mixed together.

If the covenant wanted to kill 117 then they would glass the planet. They dont glass a planet if there is something they want on it. Such as the Ark

Maybe the ships just didnt want to get blown the -blam!- up when those bigs arms went WOOOOOOSHHH!!!.

  • 05.22.2006 4:48 PM PDT

Only one ship was in the way. The ship on the right flew between 2 of them on it's way out. It was unaffected by wind as was the other 9 ships that flew into the middle.

See post above.

The 2 ships near the structure were tilted when the shockwave went off

I just think that after it was activte (by whoever) the Covenant peed their pants at the powerlevels they detected, thought: "Jimmeny Jillekers!!" And decided it wasnt a bright idea to stay too close.

  • 05.22.2006 4:56 PM PDT

Dude what are you seeing. The ship on the right never moves at all. It is sitting before the wind effects, inside the outer perimeter is safe from wind. As the wind rushes out it pushes the outer ship.

The inner ship passes between 2 prongs when it leaves. Nothing inside the outer rings is affected by the wind.

We have seen it 1 billion times here and he right ship never moves until it leaves going between the prongs.

Also I put a new topic up called "A CALL TO BUNGIE" and they erased it.

All I asked was if the trailer was 2 seperate events mixed or spliced together like I supect.

you are right that the right ship doesn't move by the shockwave but it doesn't show it go through the prongs

[Edited on 5/22/2006]

  • 05.22.2006 5:02 PM PDT

Not through but between them.

The first 2 to the immediate right of the white light in the middle. It is between the one on the right of those 2 and the 3rd to the right.

That ship is a lot smaller looking at that point when it flies between them.

I feel that I have figured out the truth about the trailer. The last 2 times I posted a topic on it, someone wiped it clear off the board. Not even a ghostbuster emblem, it was gone like the wind.

Anyone interested message me and I will tell you what I said.

  • 05.22.2006 5:18 PM PDT

Maybe they thought oh -blam!- I better get out of the way I dont want to get hit by one of those huge metal spike-like things.
