The humans have translators on them so that they can understand the alien's language. I think probrably the covenant have translators too, but then again, we just hear them speak english now so that we can understand, but in reality they speak their native language. How the humans and the Elites communicate is whatI'm still confused about. Does the human translator translate what the humans say to the covies too? Do the covies have translators to understand human tougues? This I don't know.

Yes, I understand now, and it makes better sense, and gives alot of answers to quotes from 343.

Lord Citrus that does not explain 343's abiltity to speak the language...Mitch's observation might be the most subtle proof that the Forerunners have a connection to the humans...when u met him the first time he responds to you in english..also he recognizes John..not just as a reclaimer or a human or even a Spartan but as John himself...he knows John

1. maybe its just a video game ( just maybe)
2. The oracle( aka 343 guilty spark or the moniter) has a universal translator built in to him or better yet since you can understand what covies say maybe the chief has one inside his MJLONIR battle armor.
3 The grunts may have picked it up over the course of the 30 year war along with everyone else (how are you going to get info from a prisoner if you don't know what he says and he dosent know what you say)
4. It could be the halo itself ( as unlikley as it is it is entirley possible after all there are thing aboutm halo not even the prophets know)

Read the Cortana letters that appeared after Marathon: Infinity....also remember the plot from this game..it dealt with alternate realities and time loops..it also had a hero with a Mark 10 armor...coincidence?

i doubt coincidence i never played the Marathon games do u know wat the time period was in the game???

why wouldent the forerunner tech be in english? maybe the convenant helped him build the rings (because im preety sure they can read those symbols). but the master chief helped too so he knows how to control it just by reflex

Thats a really nice observation...personally i believe that the whole Halo plot revolves around a time anomaly where the Chief is repeating history...343 would be based on a AI that went along with the Chief in the time anomaly...possibly Cortana...but your observation is subtle so it might mean something...then again the choice to change the Elite language to english also might mean that Bungie was tryin to cover a plot hole up...then again y do the grunts speak english gibberish?


The MC's suit had a translator for grunts (actually, sort of a half translator). The only reason they had one is because grunts are easily captured and studied. The rest of the aliens arent. Why the Elites all the sudden spoke English i dont know. All i know is the elites sound like sissies when they speak English. Sure, it was OK for halo 2, but it would have been better if they didnt speak english until you played as the Arbiter. The beggining could have been subtitles.

halo is a new bible, you cant relate halo to our old history... i mean dinosors maybe never existed... and we never looked like monkeys! we looked like intelligent forerruners that's all.

so considering that and the fact that he knows an older master cheif we must assume that he is going to go back in time and create the halos. (or at least in some way interact with the monitor

About the thing that halo is related to marathon:
But ummm the marathon series happened around 4 centuries after the events of wich halo supposedly took place and the forerunners supposedly exist 100,000 years before halo.
Also the races are different if marathon was connected to halo then how come the covenant aren't either in the game or mentioned at all?
Also in the faq it says this

Q

Is Marathon the prequel to Halo?

A

No, Marathon is a separate story, with wholly different characters, story and gameplay

Ever heard of the theory of that if a language existed at one time it is entirley possible that the it could have existed before hand?
