In the end of Halo 2 in Campaign mode Keyes said something like "Where can the rest of the rings be activated from?" The oracle said "Why the Ark of course." Then the Arbiter says "And where Oracle is that?"

Well I was just wondering...is it possible that "The Ark" is actually the thing that gets really bright at the end of the Halo 3 trailer that looks like this?

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

That's the theory that everyone thinks is true. You didn't come up with this, I didn't, the next guy didn't. The community came up with it.

This has been the theory since the trailer came out. It probably is the Ark though.

Does anybody else have any other thoughts about this topic?

Duck and cover!!! You must learn to find shelter!!!

Yeah, Truth must have beat Master Chief to the Ark on Earth and turned the freakin' thing on. WhiffleBallTony, if anyone goes back and plays the last few levels of H2 then he can assume that's the story or something very close to that. That's pretty sad if you say it took a whole community to figure that out. I'm curious what happened to Cortana. The H3 trailer info hints that her state of mind is not normal. Did she corrupt herself by plugging into the covenant computer systems on High Charity? Did Gravemind get a hold of her somehow? We know he can use the teleport systems of Halo but can he control other systems?

Interesting thoughts there Refles75 never thought about those questions before.

Hey Mac, maybe Cortana got stuck in Spam! It might be "Crazy Tasty" to some humans but maybe sophisticated AIs can't metabolize it. Hmm, come to think of it... some humans can't metabolize it either. Eek!

hmm the way i see it is how it went at the end of the books i'm willing to bet that whatever fleet Truth brought with him is massive cause at the end of Halo 2 almost all of the MAC guns were gone to do that would take some massive amounts of ships plus if you look at the cutscenes of High Charity there was an assload of ships and most human captains aren't Captain Keyes with an improved old cruiser sooo i'm willing to bet that Truths forces are on Earth hardcore but either haven't found the Arc or have but don't have control and that the Master Chief will start from there with the Arbiter so that he can get down to business. Because i think we'll find that the Arbiter is running the elites and with them come grunts and hunters soo i think the huge forces of Truth are gonna be balanced until the Flood or Gravemind make it to Earth by ship or Teleport

um...how much do you think han 5olo? all of these questions have been thought up by everyone and speculated on and speculated on again.
And u are quite the literate one arent u? Great description

Han 5olo, I'm also curious what the Arbiter's role is in H3. He and several other covenant apparently now have the same goal in stopping Truth. For that matter, that's Gravemind's goal as well. Is he the mastermind behind the Flood? That's what he appears to be.

Wow, so you really expect us to siphon through over 300 pages of threads?! Geez, I'm sorry we didn't jump to the forums as soon as the beckons call.

Yes it will be interesting Reflexf75 on what the Arbiter's role will be in Halo 3. Also let me get this right. The Master Chief, the Arbiter, Gravemind, and the Forerunners are all looking for the Ark at the same time possibly?

Read the first 100 pages of threads, everyone of them says the exact same thing.

No offense or anything Dranei; but I don't think I have enough time like you to read the first so 100 pages of threads in this forum.

You still didn't answer my question.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

someone's been paying attention.

on the other hand, what if bungie put the writing on the picture to throw us off? or if the ark is earth there could be multiple "entrances"/"activation points"

The Ark is the ship Truth took to Earth at the end of H2, if you listen while you play cortanna is like "wow I knew the covenant were good at reconditioning Forerunner tech but this is amazing" and her and MC talk about how the Ark is powering High Chartity because when i takes off the rest of High Charity thats why everything is dark and gloomy and not working when you see cortanna with Gravemind at the end. The artifact found in Africa Is Not The Ark.

You know good point the ship Turth is one could possibly be "The Ark" since it is the boss' ship he can probably activate the rings whenever he wants to.

You are right about the reconditioning forerunner tech part but they never start talking about the ship being the ark. I wouldn't trust this theory at all.
