--NOTE: I dont not believe or want this to happen, just a theory--

What if the what Cortana said was true? What if thats how the world ends? At the end of the game MC arrives to late, and its activated. Remember the end of Halo 2. THe activation is on earth. What if the game ends with it all ending. What if everyone losses. Flood, Covenet, Humans, everyone....

the ending is not as important as the gameplay leading to it.just so long as it isnt out of the blue.

As much as it would suck SO much, it would be a reasonable ending. Sci-Fi stories aren't fairy tales that will always have a happy ending, so that could be a possibility, but then again Bungie specializes in inplementing conundrums, and plot twists that boggles the minds, so whatever ending they decide will surely be an explosive one that defies all spurious guesses.

actually halo will be activated but it is a dud and the covenant are all pissed off so they commit suicide and the humans are celebrating and they go wipe out the flood but a stupid marine finds the index on a diff halo and says what the hell is this? he then goes im tired and puts the index in a slot in the control room thus actvating halo and killing all intelligent life

This is readily known, what is your point.

Hey, Piss Ass man, can you shut up and please jsut get blacklisted? I really want you to leave and never come back again.

I second that.

Topic:
That would be an interesting ending. Very Hitchhikers Quide to the Galaxy-ish (the books, not the crappy movie). And I agree, I read the Halo novels for story and play the games for gameplay.

Well there is the possiblity that the trailer has nothing to do with the actual game.

The chief isn't exactly rushing to get to the Arc before the covenant activate it, of course he may be oblivious to their existance (he does seem somewhat surprised to see the banshees), but I highly doubt that.


Per chance that the trailer has everything to do with the story (kind of odd to be giving away the ending before the game is even released don't you think), than it will make for an interesting ending. Perhaps its an "alternate" ending if you take too long/whatever to complete the last mission. they had one on Halo: CE if I remmeber correctly, but its been a while since I failed the Maw so I'm not 100%.

I guess we'll just have to wait unitll 2007, or untill Bungie release some more info on it.

here's a thought, though many of you probably read something like this a million of times... (I don't get around the forums that much)
I know the game doesn't entirely follow the books, but what if the time crystals were integrated into the story of H3? It would explain the MA5B AR and Cortana's whisper "I know your history and future" (or something like that anyway) in the trailer. Imagine, the covies recovered parts of the crystals, right? So they could have used those to travel back to before the human-covie war and invade earth, since now they obviously know its location. I think it would make sense, this way Cortana knows the MC's future and she already knew his history. I would really like to hear your thoughts on this.

Well I have a strong belief that regret used the crystals to jump inside new mombasa. The buildings and stuff that got pulled through with the ship is similar to the other ships that got pulled through with the Ascendant Justice in First Strike, and I bet that there was another time-lapse when the Chief and Truth arrive back on Earth with the Forerunenr ship. Perhaps this time instead of going back in time, they went forward and it's been weeks since they left instead of days.

I'm don't think that the Crystal shards are that powerful now that they could bend time that far back, we'd be talking 20 or so years here.

Purely because she says this is how the world ends, maybe the chief may have to blow up earth to stop the rings being activated. But i don't believe so, just a thought. Anyway i hope at the end marty's music makes everyone cry- because its so good, not because we're all horrified at how bad it is.

Yeah i figured a dumbass like you would post this. Killing off both covnent and Humans would be killin off the Floods food, so this would actually kill him. I would have said something but I knew the rest of the ppl on here would like to see a -blam!- head like you get shown up!

I must say that I also think that there's been another time lapse when they arrived back at Earth at H2's ending, but I would say backward, since the battle around Earth still seems to be in progress, and I can't imagine a spacebattle lasting more than a couple of hours, or a day max.
But I do think you're probably right there Solaris, the crystals probably aren't powerful enough to jump several decades back, one of the prophets said that himself I believe when they found the shards. Something like "...but it may yet serve our purpose" or something.
But then again, the MA5B AR completely puzzles me. Why on Earth would John walk around with an outdated rifle...? And that part where Cortana says "I know your future" doesn't make sense to me either...

Well, for a start it's probably not outdated. Just because there's some new equipment available, doesn't automatically make the existing stuff out of date. The AR would be better than the BR55 for some situations. Also, earth has been taken over by the covenant and it's defences razed to the ground, I'm guessing the human resistance has to use what they can get their hands on. And last, it might well not be the MA5B.

(going back to the original topic) I think it'd be totally awesome to have multiple endings, where if you do it right you win and save the human race, but if you screw up the whole thing goes off and everyone dies. It'd just make it more realistic, and when you won you'd feel more like you'd done something important rather than knowing that you couldn't have lost anyway.

Mmm....it doesn't seem like a Bungie type of thing...
While I see your point, I just can't picture that happening, but of course, that doesn't prove whether that's true or not.
I take it you've never played Pathways into Darkness? If not, let me explain. The point of PiD was to place a nuclear bomb at the bottom of a pyramid holding the Dreaming God (alien guy thingy that the Jjaro doesn't want to wake up). The bomb must go off no later than at 2 PM on Friday (so says the manual), but actually it's not 2 PM but 6:13 PM, and you're dropped to the pyramid at 6:13 AM on Sunday (giving you 5 1/2 days to complete your task). If the bomb does not go off prior to 6:13 PM on Friday, you lose. If you place the bomb with enough time for it to detonate prior to 6:13 PM on Friday but with not enough time to get the hell out of the pyramid, you lose.

And trust me, PiD is probably the hardest game Bungie has ever made. I don't know anybody that has beaten it without cheating... including me.

well, I can't argue with that Meatballs, but it would kinda suck if a one man army like the MC would have to resort to crappy weapons 'cause everyone in the UNSC is dead...
But then again, it may not even be the MA5B at all, just like you said.
Anyone figured out what that thing means Cortana says? With her knowing the past and future? Its driving me crazy, I'm just thinking about Halo all day while I should be studying, aaaaarrgh...! Which is going to be even worse when H3 actually comes out...
