OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

Ark: The place where the Halos are remotely activated.

Forerunners: Builders/creators of the Ark and the Halos.

New Mombasa: The city on Earth that you fight in at the beginning of Halo 2.

ok in a nutshell:


you play as Master chief, the (supposed) last of your kind: a genetically and mechanically and even biologically enhanced super soldier

your original mission (H1) was to make sure cortana, your built in computer program chick, didnt fall in the hands of the covenant

after an attack on your ship, your platoon escapes to an uncharted area and finds: a halo

this halo is a massive superweapon- capable of eradicating all sentient life in the vicinity

after a long ordeal you escape, blowing up the halo, and head home

when MC gets back to earth, he doesnt have long until a small covenant fleet comes, with no apparent reason

MC manages to help fight off the fleet, and he and his troops follow the flagship to : another halo.

upon investigating the halo, MC finds out about a plan that the covenant has that involves activating it. .............

i need to stop there (lunch) anyone care to pick up where i left off?
i didnt even address the arbiter, the prophets, or even the flood, which are key
but its just so much

iceman lol i knew that part all i needed to lknow is the lil details or so kinda big ones but just the 3 things i named. Im still a lil confused the forerunners are dead (so they WERE sum kind of creaters) and the ark somehow activates the halos to do what (blow up)? and also how do u activate this ark it looks lyk a building. If i were to tell u to go to wallmart and activate it u would b lyk wtf u talking about.

gotcha...........good thing you caught me i would have been peeved if you knew the hours and oodles of info i was gonna type......

so the forerunner? well they were our (humanities) ancestors. they built the halos, yadda ,yadda

so one day they ...got into a conflict with the flood parasites, built the halos to study them, activated the halos cuz they couldnt find a solution, and took refuge in the ark so that they could go out and populate earth

the ark is supposedly a safehaven from the halos, and you can activate all of them from there. new mombassa is where the ark is located (africa)

Wait we dont know they took refuge in the ark.

Ok, after you kill all the boarders at Cairo Station, the ship In Amber Clad takes you to New Mombasa, a city in Africa which was the only spot that the Covenant wanted to land at. In the Halo 3 trailer, it is revealed that near New Mombasa is the location of a huge structure that is Forerunner in origin. The Forerunner were talked about in Halo 1, but briefly. This species created the Halos, the Ark, Sentinels, Monitors, and the like. The Forerunners activated the Halos because of the Flood. All or most of them died. Some people believe that the Forerunners are humans because the Forerunner object in the Halo 3 trailer appears to be the "Ark" which will fire all halos at once. The object in the Halo 3 trailer is close to New Mombasa, which is also very close to the Great Rift Valley, where it is supposed (in reality) that humanity originated, hence the "humans are forerunner" theory...some believe that the survivors of the Halo firing were present in the Ark and reproduced, and the Ark and all technology was used up and forgotten.

o lol didnt know that.... were did they build the halos then?

  • 06.28.2006 10:27 AM PDT

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

All you have to do is watch the short movies in halo 1-2, and youll understand. Its really not that hard, and if you can read then read the books. Its not a bright idea to be on here without some knowledge. I remember when I joined I didnt know what they were talking about with the other spartans and stuff like doctor hasely, so I decided to read the books.
