This is I believe the second theory I will keep my eye on, there was only one other here at the forums that I am watching. Nice supporting statements, but it seems kind of hazy. I guess we'll find out with more updates.

I know some of the supporting theories are hazy, but there isn't much info on Halo 3 to use. I will most likely add more to this once we get much more info on Halo 3.

By the way, what is the other theory you were following. Send me a PM.

i dont think everything bungie puts in the game has a purpose towards the plot i was playing oblivion today and i came across a troll floating under a bridge who had a suicide note and a bottle of booze on him but i did not think it affected the plot of the game

That is Oblivion, this is Halo. Bungie even said that for Halo 2 every multiplayer map will be recognizable from campaign, and the only level that is not is Foundation which you get after you beat campaign, so it would only make sense that it will have something to do with Halo 3.


Well said.

ITS NOT GUNA BE IN CHICAGO COS THE PROPHET OF TRUTH IS GOING TO THE ARK IN AFRICA YOU JACKASSES!

  • 06.01.2006 11:14 AM PDT

September 25th. Earth Will Never Be The Same.

i doubt it would take place in Chicago cause the Arc that Guilty spark was talking at the end of Halo 2 is in New Mombasa which is where Truth is going to go to activate the Halos. I think the Forunner object in the trailer is the Arc. And i think that map in Halo 2 that takes place in Chicago its a Spartan traning base.

Just because the ship is going to the Ark doesn't mean it will be their the whole game. Like the trailer showed Master Chief discovering the Ark, which they said would happen around halfway through the game, well if the ships went their first, the trailer would have happened eariler in the game. So something might have happened and Master Chief ended up in Chicago at the start of the game. And I already explained why Chicago like 5 times in this thread, so please read before posting, and lets have an intelligent conversation.

dude, this makes no sense. that thing on foundation could even be the halo 2 symbol or halo 1 symbol, or most likely nothing at all! and plus, the focus of the game is about the ark, in Arfica, not in chicago, just cuz you live in chicago doesnt mean you can formulate some pshycotic thoery which has basically no hardcore evidence besides a fuzzy picture which could be anything. I completely doubt that ANY part of Halo 3 will take place in Chicago unless Foundation makes a return as a multiplayer map.

I think the beginning of Halo 3 will take place in Chicago, then later
go back to New Mombasa. The ship that Master Chief is on will crash land into there or something along those lines. My evidence to support my argument is the map Foundation, which you were supposed to get after you beat Campaign.

The description of the map reads,
"Deep in Chicago Industrial Zone 08 lies the decommissioned Tactical
Autonomous Robotic Defense System testing facility."

Maybe that has something to do with the plot of Halo 3, but to point of
the matter is that Chicago had nothing to do with Halo 2, unlike all of
the other maps before it, where you can tell which levels they come
from.

There is even more proof that Chicago will have something to do with
Halo 3. On Foundation there are Halo 3 icons hidden by where the rockets respawn. You can see then by standing where the sword spawns and looking right above the yellow and black paint in front of the rockets. Here is the link to the picture http://i4.tinypic.com/111l1xs.jgp
Edit: Thanks to FinishtheFight for finding this

Also, in a recent Bungie Update there was a 'Demo' of Halo 3 gameplay with Mister Chief, but in the back it showed a wall with posters on it that are also on Foundation.


Did anybody else notice that Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System can be turned into a Humorous Acronym that describes the Originater of this thread?

As it was said before, Bungie made ever multiplayer map in Halo 2 recognizable to a level in Campaign, except for Foundation which you get after you beat Campaign. Which is said to take place in Chicago. Just because the trailer shows Master Cheif outside of New Mombasa doesn't mean the whole game will take place there. Noe please read the pages before posting because I've explained myself over several times while some of you just say NO with out any intelligent explanation .

Those posters are found all over the place such as in Turf which i'm pretty sure where that teaser demo takes place, foundation, and more.(Just look around and you will see them

That's a great find with that picture of the H3 logo... I'd never seen that before.

It says on the map description that it is chicago. No doubt, it is chicago if bungie says it is. And i'm 99% sure that bungie did not plan on us getting on top of the map.

And Merc, I think your theory is plausible because your right about the trailer bungie showed us at E3, it may be at any time during the game, or not in the game at all, like the one they did for halo 2. Your also right about multiplayer maps. They are supposed to be recognized in campaign. And about the part where it was rewarded to us after beating campaign mode. The map must be a clue of some sort, because Bungie hasn't rewarded a map before. Why not have part of halo 3 in Chicago? It would be stupid just to have all of the Earth levels in Africa at the ark. but it doesnt mean chicago will be the first place you end up in the halo 3 campaign. It could be the last or somewhere in the middle.

I now know that it doesn't have to be at the beginning, but I think Chicago will be somewhere in Halo 3.

Maybe the Chief crashes in Chicago and has to fight his way back across the former United States and back into Africa.

You do realize that when they create a level, they dont create an entire set around the little part you have normal access to right? Meaning, if Foundation took place in post-covenant attack Chicago, Bungie is not going to build the entire battle damaged city and 100 miles of urban sprawl. They are going to create the little part of Chicago that you are supposed to be accessing and is relevant to the storyline.

Original poster:

Good job, I think this is the first speculation I've read that has some evidence to back it up. It's the closest I've seen to a real lead concerning the contents of Halo 3.

It kind of acutaly makes sence in a way. Alright Chiago I belive is the city with the polution for it sky, no offence if you live there, but the Covenant could think the humans were hiding something underneath the cloud they get in to close. crash!

I don't actually think my theroy is good, but anyway I'am sure that Chiago would be as great as fighting in New York City(Staten Island, Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens).
