I know alot of people are assuming that the structure in Africa is the Ark itself. I don't believe Bungie would show us this if it was in their trailer. I believe the structure has something to do with the Ark but isn't the Ark itself. Anyway, back to my question, just what might the structure in the middle of the Africa be?

I am guessing that there is a halo in the earth itself and that is the most important halo because it harbors the ark and is encased by the Earth for Protection. I know its a crazy idea but isn't every idea?

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

It is not a Halo!

I think we would have discovered a Halo around the equator sometime between now and 500 years!

It could be a landing pad for Truths Ship!

They did say that the covenant discovered something underneath the African soil, so I think its something thaat been there a while, but I really don't care what you guys call it, even a Krispy Cream Donut, as long as you don't call it the Ark

All our answere will be told when the leaked french version off halo3 is out.

  • 06.26.2006 5:31 PM PDT

Facts are the enemy of tru7h....

I think it's a focal point for the firing halos that magnifies their effect beyond what all the can accomplish individually...

..maybe...

i know what it is........................................................... ..................LThat beam the structure fires a beam that travels faster than light to a unknown planet.and that beam once it reaches the planet it would awaken an army that has been sleeping for thousands of years. Strange creatures that are known to us as forerunners(sc). these beings would then come join the humans help fight the covenant and flood . And well win the fight. THE END.


so did you like my theory.

It makes giant covenant ice cream sundays,
that melt the flood, by giving them a brain freeze.

Base off the Sciencetific/fantasy novals and Halo saga, If the game is trying to predict the year 2550AD and off the real life science and facts not gossips. Then the forerunners will have to look simliar but not exactly like Apelike-human charastics traits. Its fact that humans have known to evolved from Ape-like human like animals Its true in real life we all origanated from East Africa fact1 of HAlo3. Also old Membosa located in Kenya is the spot of the evoulutionary birth place of humans.

Check out all my theories and creations at HBO!

Or read my fanfic, "Effort Cannot Conquer Faith" -- it won a signed novel from Eric Nylund!

If you watch the Halo 2 Collector's Edition DVD, there is one scene which shows quick flashes of various whiteboards bearing level design sketches. One of these boards, only seen fleetingly but clearly visible when paused, shows a mechanism just like the Ark: giant mechanical doors opening ou of the desert floor. Next to this sketch is the phrase "EARTH_ARK_09".

So yes, the structure is almost certainly the Ark.

EDIT: Here's a picture of the concept sketch.

What that is is really a docking base for the Forerunner ship Truth is aboard, nothing more. Note that playing High Charity, you could see this huge beam of light far into the landscape, with the ship above it. Well, I think that is all that it is. It may also be the entrance to never before uncovered Forerunner underground citadels and the likes on Earth. Who knows, really?

wow, i thought the other guys links were to some weird thing someone made up in their spare time, not on the 2nd Halo 2 disk in the collectors edition case. That's pretty convincing, but alot can change from the launch of Halo 2 to the launch of Halo 3, like they said, anything can happen in the development stages of the game, which is what its in

Bungie has confirmed it to be big, metallic, and capable of releasing some sort of bright energy not described, possibly light.
