pure speculation follows: Heres my theory about the ARK...it's not a weapon. Notice the swirling vortex in the sky in the trailer... what if thats slip space and not a storm. Think of the Ark as a massive slip space generator that the forerunners used to escape this portion of space. They went on a "great journey" using the ARK. This is the great journey that the cov have been looking for.
The forerunners built the halos with the idea of destroying that entire portion of space and the flood. They needed to get out of that portion of space before activating the halos. They hitched a ride and then the ARK structure on Earth, as the command center, activated the Halos after the forerunners left on the great journey (or did they... perhaps the halos never actually activated... it would explain the blue eyed floating robots problem in the first HALO game) and thats why flood only remain on the Halos.
SO, let me know what you think... expand on these ideas, argue against them it... Finish the Fight
