Subject: HOLD THE PHONES! New Ark theory! It doesnt exactly save you!

Okay, okay, so remember in Indiana Jones when the Na.zis opened up the Ark of the Covienant and the all melted and died? Well in the H3 trailer the covienant open up the supposed "Ark" and a huge flash comes out and then Cortana says "this is the way the world ends". Connection? I think so. I think instead of it being like Noah's Arc to the Flood and saving you, its like the Ark of the Covienant and kills you when you open it (a remote activation for the Halos like 343 GS said). In a manor of speaking it might save you from the Flood but only by giving you a quick a death.

Its not just Indiana Jones man, its back to the biblical reference shi.t of when you open the Ark it kills you, i just thought Indiana Jones would make people recognise the object easier lol,I dont know the bible well enough to reference where the Ark is mentioned

Thanks for stealing my theory! Well, at least the part about the Ark of the Covenant.... Hehe, well, maybe you didn't steal it, but nice thinking.

an ark (arc, whatever) was a box that held things, in noah's case, animals. the ark of the covenant held the tablets of the ten commandments, among other things.

as far as halo goes, the ark, as mentioned in h2 is a remote activation faciility for the halos, and it may or may not provide shelter from the pulse for those inside, we'll just have to find out in 2007

Y our theory?
Heh, not all that new for Ark theories. Just more original than Noah's. Am I right?

Yeah, I don't think Halo is Noah's story, because the Covenant is a good thing in that (promise that world won't be flooded again). However, there is ample evidence to support Halo being Revelations. I think I remember reading something about an Ark in there, I suppose I'll go look.

[Edit]: Yeah, at the end of chapter 11 in Revelation they talk about there being the ark in the temple, and something about an earthquake and thunder. Hopefully you can see the similarities between this and the video. Not to mention the times that Bungie has told us that "this is the way the world ends," even going so far as to set the release date of Halo at "The End of the World" (Bungie put those capitals, not me).

Wow, you're fast, I just went up to my room, only took about two minutes. Anyway, go ahead and come up with a new theory if you want, I am a little too lazy to do it right now. Besides, I would mostly just be wasting my time communicating with commoners, which I do not like to do.

Erm... i may be confused but as far as we know that's EXACTLY what the ark is supposed to do...

It activates the halos and the halos kill all the flood's food. this is no new news.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The Ark has two functions:

1. To save us from the Flood (sin if you're going by biblical references)
2. To activate all the Halos, killing anything not inside the Ark

Thus, the Ark can be seen as both Noah's Ark and the Ark of the Covenant. The flash of light is probably just the Ark "connecting" to the Other Halos (Like we connect via the internet)

Which is irrelevant, because the Ark is not a geometric shape. Its an Ark.
