the other day in English class we read a poem by T.S. Elloit called "The Hollow Men". At the end of the poem it says

"This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."

i wonder if bungie got the last part of the trailor from this poem. if they did i wonder if the last line has anything to do with what will happen in halo 3. any ideas? post them! hey go read the poem and see if their r any other connections

(ok i took out the second part cause i decided it couldn't be true.)

Actually, I've a bazillion people post that poem here already. At least the quote. I've never heard of that poem, but that quote sounded strangely familiar...because I've heard it here before!

dude, there is so much writing i could spend at leaste a couple days comming up with "connections" to halo3. I just laugh every time someone post something like this. Its a trailer, they made it up. and even if they did get a few lines from ur little poem it doesnt mean that theres any connection to the story. and right now, thats what ppl are looking for. not some poem that has the same words.

I doubt he's scared. He just is entitles to his opinion and (stubbornly) stands by it.

Tooth, it isn't just a trailer. Do you think Bungie just decided to randomly put in text for the sake of putting in text? I think not. Bungie is more complex, they add little hints and clues everywhere. If you freeze frame a part in the beginning, you can see a silouhette of a hand....Cortana's words were found similair to this one guy, who I can't remember....Anyways, someone typed this guys name into Google Image and the first picture that came up was a hand scraping against the back of a train. It looked exactly the same as the trailer. In yo' face!!

It's a nice concept, but I'm undecided.

owned noob. (look at my sig.)
it was refrenced in the cortana letters long ago.

obviously the letters have been read with a different context since cortana used that line from the letters in the trailer.

Toothpaste, you seem surprisingly slow. Did you even read the topic post? Doesn't seem like it. And if you didn't read the topic post, then your arguement is irrelevant, since you barely know what you're talking about.

This has been analyzed in the Cortona letters (search on Yahoo, it's the first choice) and since CL are talking about Halo 3, I'm betting you're most likely right.

Edit: my bad about restatement.

You are one sad, sad little man. If we have no life, and you supposedly have one, then get off the computer and stop continuing this arguement.

Actually, if you read teh Cortana Letters, yes, it does come from that poem. Nice connection.

Cortana Letters. Read the first one.

So I'm guessing it means that the world will end with a bang.
