I just watched the hi-def trailer in quicktime and noticed that the first few banshees that are ahead of the phantom seemed to be headed across the crater, rather than to it. They feep flying straight until the artifact opens. I think this was a surprise to then and this scared them. That's why they break formation and try to get out of the crater's airspace.

feedback please.

Ever heard of patrolling the perimeter?
Its not a ghost, its a Phantom by the way.

thanks. i corrected that. i heard alot of people talk about the phantom carrying someone important and stuff. that doesnt seem to be the case. and you're probably right, they might be a patrol. but with so many cruisers around, who needs a patrol?

The cruisers were breaking formation as well. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that the Phantom may be carrying someone important, such as Truth. But it's all speculation until the game comes out.

agreed. With that many escorts, yeah, the phantom possibly has someone important on board. The thing also is, where did forerunner ship land along with the prophet of truth? It sure doesnt seem to be in the crater. And since the Chief and the Phantom are coming from the same direction, could it be that the chief destroys the forerunner ship?
