you just about summed up every theory that i've been thinking of since... well since i finished halo 2. and i've gone thru a ton of theories since then. most of them getting trashed. however, 1 problem: Guilty Spark does NOT say taht the remaining halos can be destroyed via the Ark. He says taht they can all be REMOTELY ACTIVATED. which im guessing woudl also inlude an auto-destruct sequence. but what im wondering the most is whether the Forerunner artifact in the trailer says that the Ark was activated or not.
I'm also wondering if that is even the Ark at all. I've always thought that maybe the Ark was either on or IS the moon? But I also know that (in religious history) there has always been an ARK of the COVENANT that has granted great power and stuff along those lines. And it has always been somewhere in Africa, sometimes in Egypt or something, but in africa nonetheless.
But i also noticed that the guys at Bungie said that the trailer takes place about 1/3 the way through the game, and that makes me think that there is NO WAY that the Ark was ativated already. Shouldn't that be where the final battle takes place? ya know with the Chief, the ARbiter, the remaining Spartans, the humans allied w/ the hunters elites and grunts, all that good shtuff.
wat do u guys think about the connection between the Ark of the Halos and the religious Ark of the Covenant?
