What is the thing, no, not the giant flashlight, what is the debris master cheif is walking through, seriously, I don't think its the ship he came to earth in because in teh trailer he appears a distance away from the debris and walks up, sure, maybe peices fell apart when/if it crashed but not in a perfect group in like one place, what is it?

I think Bungie said what it was, but I can't remember, I know the wreckage in the background is the space elevator, so maybe it's more of that?

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

look at the wreckage in the background at the top^. the elevator (or lift as we brits call it) is not three tubes but one big tube

By the way, what is the space elevator, is that like a docking ring in freelancer only alot of them? (a space elevator would be necisary to get into space due to aptmosphere preassure and heat, only a diamond hull can MAYBE withstand that kind of preassure, it would also be necisary to get out for light craft.)

And another thing, I don't link its part of the elevator because its the wrong type shape and to be honest the texture doesn't realy look that human to me

A space elevator is for bringing trash from the earth into space so that it doesn't contaminate the earth, its basically a giant garbage disposal

No its not....
Its the marines HQ thats been blown away and MC is the only survivor.
If you look really closely at the trailer just as he is about to show through the smoke
you can see a set of legs on the floor (im assuming they are some dead marines).

i just checked the h3 trailer, and there are no 'dead marine feet' there are some littlered debries that i at first also mistaked for feet/legs, but it's just some metal.
the structure doesn't look covenant at all, and to me looks completely human, but i think we can all agree it's not covenant, it's PROBABLY not something forrunner, otherwise it wouldn't be in smoking shambles.in the conversations of the galaxy booklet there's a bit where it's said that the forrunner stucture found couldn't be harmed by any explosive/whatever

elavator: the space elavator in the middle of new mombasa isn't a garbage mover, i suppose it could be, but it's known function is to trasport materials, and other military personel from space/surface to space/surface

I'll nominate you as a Brit. Now you have to bow to a queen, have tea every morning, and you can NEVER cry. Stiff upper lip, and all that...
Me, I'm a German. Maybe I shouldn't admit that lol...
