FAQ.
I'm certifiable.

To the best of my knowledge, the biggest suspect for the dino-killer impact is in the Carribean, off the Yucatan coast. (Bungie went with that one when they set their Pathways into Darkness game there; thrown in just as a neat Bungie connection.) There's still reasonable doubt that it was the cause of the great extinction that left us dinosaur-less today, though, so let's remain open-minded on that.

The "new" crater discovered (and covered in the news, anyway) that I'd heard of is in Antarctica, under all that glacier ice... but it's supposed to be much older than the Yucatan one.

One fan found a small crater south of Mt. Kilimanjaro that's roughly three miles across... which matches Frankie's description of how big the Forerunner artifact was in the Halo 3 teaser-trailer. However, there's considerable debate as to whether that's the "actual" location or not; again, it's best to stay open-minded on this.

Either way, the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago; the Halos (in the game, he said, trying to keep fiction and fact as separate as possible) fired 100 thousand years ago. I'm guessing that the two events are entirely separate.

-- Steve's hoping that clears things up a bit.

We all know that the metor landed in the ocean just below the yucatan peninsula, just watch the science channel.

Sounds like Deceiver does not like English People, O well better go back in time and tell Christopher Columbus to go the other way because that country will turn out to be filled with yanks and silly hill billies called mary jane., plus fat men who beat thier wifes. I am proud to be english, dunno why you are proud to be American, simply a backwash of Britain.

The dinosaurs were killed when a almost dead god crashed into the Yucatan peninsula. Encased by rock deep underground, the god began to dream.

It's not worth watching. There is a herd of some kind of dinosaur looking animal, but I had to suffer through watching the trailer. All I kept thinking was thank god they didn't release what was in the trailer. Maybe I don't remember pre-Halo times, but I thought it was awful.
