look at the picture at the top on the main page for halo 3

CLICK TO SEE


notice how the beam looks like it is curving round? as if it will protect the earth and its atmosphere from the weapons? (halo's) In the trailer it goes so fast, this is unable to see....

This is a long shot but If You want please leave comments and extra thoughts.. thanks :)

thats just the clouds swirling around... its nothing

and besides, after you watch the trailer, it says "this is the way the world will end", so what else could it be referring to?

that is probably the most belivable theory ive heard here so far the shield will be activated and all the covenant will be like WTF

  • 06.13.2006 10:00 AM PDT

That might be why the profet wanted to be in it, it would also make the world clean of sin and hate if they started their own plant from scratch.

if you look on the screenshots page of halo 3, you'll see another shot of MC just before the beam goes up. you'll see that the 'swirling' texture is still there.

prooving my 'its just clouds' theory right.

Subject: The Arc.....Not A Weapon? A PLANETARY SHIELD >>>>!!!!!!

No Elites in Halo 3: ODST = FAIL

I've been confident that Earth is a safe house from the Halos once activated for some time now. So if this beam generates some kind of a shield around the planet so as to support my idea I suppose thats as good of a theory as any...

EVERYONE KNOWS the arc survives the flood remember thus a shield gawd

  • 06.13.2006 10:08 AM PDT

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

i don't think it's a shield, and i cannot see the curve. pwned

Yeah, awesome call man, I always thought this was a possibility too. Personally, i'm a christian, and the reason I have always loved Halo, is because of it's deliberate biblical reference. Our church even has Halo 2 overnight parties, sick huh? hehe. Anyways, a long time ago, someone else mentioned this, but not everyone appreciates it's biblical similarities. Even though the Ark was made to save the 'good' species from the flood, heh. Anyways, take care,

peace.

I put on pants for this?

although it doesnt seem to curve now, once it got high enough in our atmosphere it would probably curve around the outer layers of the planet and protect us from the flood/halo blast.

oncde again, i say:

therefor, it must be clouds

  • 06.13.2006 10:48 AM PDT

that may be a possibility but i think to add to a dramtic affect, bungie may want to show the shield kicking the halo blast's butt, and it may also just reflect it back into space for maximum output and destruction of the food for the flood.

  • 06.13.2006 10:51 AM PDT

It is a believable therory. More so, atleast, then the others I've seen. But I don't remember anybody saying, in game or other wise, that the Ark was ment to save. I maybe worng. If it has been stated, please lead me to it.

Oh sorry dude, I have no idea, this was back in like December of 2004 right after everyone got it and beat it. It was actually a thread about it's biblical references, I remember that after a couple weeks, it got deleted for some reason, I don't know why, but it was my favorite thread ever, lol. Anyways, sorry again, I wouldn't even know how to find a thread from almost 2 years ago.

I think what this dudes said about it being a sheilds probly right.

I cant belive none of you guys have remberd or maybe its just me but doesent 343 or "blue" say somthing about knows MC's armor but its a primitve version and he reconises humans. There for he must have seen them before.

So maybe the forrunner where aculty Humans? But when the flood over welmed the forrunner they acitived the "Rings/halo's" there for killing the majoriy of the "forrunner" or humans but the ones who where on earth surived becuase they are in the "ark".

This then ties in with the floods ech and ship in the bible, as the game has alot of comparisons and similartys.

The forrunner built the "Ark" to save them from the "floods"

But becuase the Forrunner/humans lost all contact with there other worlds as there all now dead so they "devolved" so to speak and they events of what happend in relatly became twisted and changed aslo made easyer for primitive peoples to understand. Flood would is linked to water as it covers everything and consumes everything just ive the Flood in halo with living things. So the earth sheild "ark" thing woudl be seen as noers ark because it woudl rise up abover the flood and take them to safty and a new fresh start.

The 40days and 40nights would or could possably represent how long it takes for the "flood" to die with out food.

Another point is that if some one or something can make somthing that can cause that much dead and damaged surely they could build somthing to defend againsnt it? hence the whole sheild thing.

Anyway.. back to the "devolving" apart it is more than possable becuase not every forrunner would have known how to look after and mend and reconstuct there builds, so they would eventualy decay and dissapear.

An example of this would be in britan after the roman invasion when they left all they building started to decay ect. So I cant see why that wouldent have happend with the Forrunner.

You could question about how "blue" doesnt tell MC that he is the descendiants of the forrunner. Either becuase he acuatly doesnt know that any survived. Or "Blue" hasent been asked the right questions becuase you seem to have to be very percise with the questions that you ask It.

I would go for the first as I seam to rember him says they all The forrunner are "gone" or somthing.


Along with the fact that "Blue" reconised the MC's armor suggests that humans on earth have found artifacts of the forrunner. And just liek goverments today. They only told a serten few.

You could then say " Why dident they know about the rings or the possablitly of earth being a Ark?" quite simply becuase theres not enough informatin left about the Forrunner. The same possable reason why the Covies dont understand completely.

There for it is clear that i belive that it is possable that it is a sheild.I have tryed to say as much as possably possable on the topic of the possablity of it being a sheild/ "The ark" but there are so many other factors that need addressing to beable to present my argument, that it is or more than likly is a Sheild of some sort.

please reply or email me with any questions (matmurrell@hotmail.com)

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

how many times has this been posted?
343 refers to forerunners and humans seperartely, so they aren't the same.

I'm tired of these topics. The Ark is a weapon. At the end of Halo 2, 343 Guilty Spark pretty much said it was a remote control for the other Halo rings.

^ You don't know that for a fact, I'd think it is more of a defensive mechanism then a weapon, but a defense to what I don't know. That's what we're all waiting to see. I don't like to dig into all this theory crap myself, simply because it takes away the hype when you play the game. You all need to just mellow out, play some H1 & H2 til H3, and be happy.

thanks for the comments guys,

Yes, Guilty Spark said the Ark was the remote detonation of all the halos, but it didnt say anything about protection of any worlds, did it...

I still beileve my therory is worth thinking about, as it may well be true .. :)
