Do you honestly think that bungie would make the halo 3 plot line off of some poets work.

Their is a very good possibility that its just a coincidince, the cortana letters are very old.

Even if this is not a coincidince bungie would have used this poem as a bit of inspiration not plagerism so it would be border line impossible to predict the halo 3 plot by reading what inspired bungie, heck I can guarantee you thats not the only inspiration they have either, I remember a month or two ago they had an article about all the different book, movies and whatnot that inspired the bungie team.

Alls im trying to say is it isnt possible to predict the halo 3 story off of some small piece of inspiration used by bungie.

He's not predicting the Halo 3 storyline. He is, however, saying that there seems to be a connection between the two. It's not like it's impossible to get bits and pieces of many different things to create something new.

I have walked the edge of the Abyss.
I have governed the unwilling.
I have witnessed countless empires break before me.
I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.
[I was there with the Angel at the tomb]

I have seen your future.
And I have learned.

There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.

I HAVE WON.

Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends.

Yes... perhaps you are a few lightyears behind us... but this has already been brought up with Reference to the Cortana Letters and T.S. Eliot As seen above.

Thank you for the effort however. Just check your background knowledge first

Get a new joke. I've seen you post that about 3 times on here. Further, it's a really bad, incredibly lame, severely weak joke.

It is clearly a reference to the poem. It's been stated as such, but it could go either way.

If the Halos fire, then the world would indeed end with a whimper.

Don't halos go bang, though? I mean, it's a big explosion. Like in the letters (If they are even revelant anymore, I'm just saying) Cortana says "Oh and your poet Elliot had it all wrong,....THIS is the way the world ends."

I didn't bother to read the whole thing so i figured i'd tell you what i believe. i think the "hollow men" or "stuffed men" are the flood, i believe this poem could be interpreted as telling the story of the earth and MC with their last stand of flood all around them and about to die.... with no big bang but with a quick death of the last of the humans... this is what MC has to stop.
