Subject: A theory about the "Ark"

I'm sure you are all sick of trailer theorys, but I think I should voice mine.

When the structure, the supposed "Ark" opened all the Covernant retreated, if there was a known threat arising why would they be so close to the structure in the first place.
This in my opinion shows that the Covernant did not know what was happening.
Meaning the structure was probably acting on it's own. I believe that Truth may have been on the Phantom, heading towards the structure. The structure may be signalling to the Halo network that it was fuctional ( the beams that got shot out of the structures in Halo CE looked just like this one ).
Which would mean it was of some significant importance to the Network.

Its one thing to have a opinion, but its another thing to have a opinion thats different then mine.

"You ever wonder what's up there"
"Like what"
"Maybe someone up there was wondering what it's like here"
"I guess, do you think will ever meet them"
"I hope so, don't you...?"

Someone eles probably activated it but who??

The structure is only partially excavated, I doubt anyone could get in it at that point.

I don't think that this light liiks like the one from Halo: CE... but you may be right. I would say that Cortana (similarly to the AI in Marathon)... goes Crazy and turns on everyone and activates the rings!

i think Truth was in the Ark and activating it, while Master Chief was rushing to stop him and the Covenant ships where the Arbiter (or loyal elites or others who know what halo does) and thats why they didnt shoot Master Chief and instead went right by.

I was told the trailer was 1/3 though the game, the activation would mean Chief was about to die and the game would end.
No the structure was only just above the surface of the dirt, nobody would be able to get in that way.
And the arrival of the Arbiter to Earth that early in the game would be highly unlikely.

if its the ARK then its not the activation of HALO, get them straight. the ARK activates all 7 HALOs remotely, meaning it
1) would take a while for the blast to reach Earth
2) it could have a count down like Halo 2 when the index was entered, starting HALO then the Arbiter kills Tarterus and Miranda takes out the Index, saving everything

so its probably not a blast, maybe just a light saying, "hey, ive been started, watch out!" or it could warp them somewhere, or just be an effect for the trailer. just becuase they said that happens 1/3 (i thought it was 2/3?) through the game doesnt mean exactly that will happen then.

But an activation scenario would happen near the end of the game, and I still can not see how the Chief could get in the structure.

Master Chief always finds a way.
