nope not true
the flashes are from the storm the chief has reall time reflection on his visor (really cool) if you look closely you can see the spirals of the storm where the flashes happen
the lights would wink inside the visor you would not be able to see anything from the outside

It's not a storm you don't see wind blowing 120mph do you?


if its not a strom then what is it? but you know what i meant

Okay, now to shoot this bull -blam!- "theory" down one more time.

The lights..what are they used for? Two things: Stealth (staying off the comm), and Ease of use.

Them being able to be visible on the outside of the visor TOTALLY ruins one of those, and, in-turn the second one (it's not too easy once 20 Elites come running after you while you're in the shadows, now is it?)

It's lighting effects people.



Do some reading before you try to start another thread which has been posted (and proved wrong) many times before.

Maybe Bungie changed things. And they made them visible outside now.

If you send a light to another spartan, wouldnt they only need to see it in thier visor, which would be more efficient then signaling outside your visor for others to see. This theory is old, and it is just the lightning.

You can stop trying to change the facts that Bungie has established to try to prove your theory correct. Give it up, it's not what you think it is.

If you guys read the books, the only people that can make contact using HUD lights are Spartans. In the trailer in between 1:00 and 1:05 there are three flashes of light in the top left of the chiefs visor. They are not lighning flashes because those are in the middle. And after the three HUD flashes the Chief quickly nods. And while all this happens he is looking at the capitol ship. And again another flash on the top very top left of the chiefs visor at around 1:11
OMG in getting so sick of this topic, Read the handbook that came with halo 1.THE LAS REMAINING SPARTAN!!!!! 117 is the only spartan left man. and beside hud light would be on the inside for only the spartan to see, otherwise they would be like big warning signals to the covenant saying here i am , come shoot me!!!

sorry for the double post,i messed up, but if you read the handbook that came with halo1 it says 117 is the last remaining spartan. and besides, why would the hud lights be on the outside of the visor for the covenant to see, they would be like big warning signs for the covenant saying hey here i am come shoot me!!!!

"if you read the handbook that came with halo1 it says 117 is the last remaining spartan."

Next person to say this is going to die a horable firey death. For probably the millionth time from over a thousand people read the books!!!! They specifically say that there are other spartans alive. In fact they even talk to and fight with the cheif in First Strike. SO because of the books the freking handbook that some people seem to worship doesn't mean **** when it comes to the story of halo. and don't even think about giving me the oh the books aren't part of the story because it is purely fanf fiction BS like one guy tried.

Anyways the lights...... They are from the lightning that is comming from the forming vortex in the sky. It is NOT from the acknoledgement lights because it is part of MC's HUD and im pretty sure that you can't see his aming reticle and ammo counter. And another thing is that the flashes are spread accross a large portion of his visor, if they were the acknoledgement lights they would be very small like a tiny LED light or somthing ya know like christmas tree light sized. That is of course you think its even a light at all and not just another projection onto his HUD same as the rest of it.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

If I'm not mistaken REACH was getting glasseed when MC left in the PoA, and Linda was another SPARTAN on board..but she was medically dead. So it wa safe for him to think he was the last SPARTAN even though he didn't want to be.


That is the only reason that it says 'last Spartan'..doesn't it also always say something along the lines of "presumably" the last spartan?

Now listen...im not gunna say that the lights are from his HUD or that its him comunicating with another spartan but if you look in the trailer, the only light comes from the center of the vortex...the lightining would show a bolt on his visor wouldnt you think? But all it is is a flash, no bolt, and it doesn't come from the center...so all I'm saying is that it's not lightining (at least what I've seen) and its not a COM link...

New spartans would be cool but i doubt bungie would put them in it would take some of the spotlight from the chief and for people who have read the books it would be confusing


Exactly. Bungie has said before they would not include characters from the books (halsey, ackerson, mendez, linda, kelly, fred, barney, wilma, bam bam, etc) because they would be confusing their core audience, you know the 6.5 million+ people who haven't read the books nor care to read them. This is the last game in the Halo saga, why introduce another spartan or 2 when the chief is the one who is going to save the world. Bungie set up Halo 3 as the chief's heroic final battle with the flood/covenant. He is going to save the world, alone.
Darn straight. I think it would be a horrible idea to include more Spartans. I only want two heroics, Chief and Arbiter, end of story.

Err, you realize that there are already a few dozen threads exactly like this one?

Anyway, I dont think you can really use the trailer to get any solid appearance data The reason is that the chief is walking in africa....with damaged armor..... facing a brightly lit artifact 5 miles across and a dozen or so brightly lit covenant ships. This means that there are just too many explanations for the lights to come up witha reliable thwory. So sorry, but I think this thread is moot.

sori to interrupt this, but ive read the books and the visor is 100% reflective, therefore you cant see to the other side... i mean if u could u would see faint features of the chiefs face

well,, not new spartans

1:53, some faint blue light on the right side, not lightining cause it stops when the artifact opens, no covie engine is that high up so it can make a reflection on the visor

EDIT:

actually, there is no 100% reflective visor, that can let light through, in order to see anything you need light, if it was a 100% reflective visor, then ALL the light would be reflected and nothing would go through, basic physics
