i use to think that the ark was that massive forerunner structure beneath the earth...im starting to think that it may not be.Why would the ark shoot a massive bright light out like that? maybe to destroy the flood?no i dont think so.Maybe to deactivate all the Halo's? could be.But im starting to think that this structure is to activate the actual ark on another planet..some people think the ark is on earth because arbitor asked 343 guilty spark where the ark was but we didnt hear 343 GS finish what he was going to say.The ark is suppose to protect us from the Flood the ark could be somewhere else out their, Earth may just be the signal to activate it.Mercy said that Truth was headed to Earth to finish what they started finish what? Were they still trying to find the Ark? do they believe that Earth is the Ark or is it something more? How did they know to go to Earth to find the ark?why didnt they attack Earth sooner if they wanted to finish the great journey... questions linger on...please no one flame me about all this either

The "beam it was shooting was to activate the Halos, the Ark is a remote control that activates the halos... The covies are there to activate the halos and begin their "Great Journey"... which explains why they came to earth... to the Ark... to "turn it on"

yeah but then we would have to figure out What planet and stuff...just wouldn't be very interesting, at least to me

i like the idea that the ark at least has to do with Earth

The covie doesnt know what the structure is, they were investigating it. I know this because when it opens up all of a sudden the covie ships begin to fly away from it. They are scared.

Exactly it opened up unexpectingly (im sure i spelt that wrong) the covies got out of their, what Truth is looking for on Earth may not be the ark but the beam it fires may show us its location on another planet.

actually i sort of want to change my opinion on this

perhaps that beam of light coming out is similar to the one on the forerunner ship, the one that transported the chief into the ship?

that beam could lead anyone that stepped inside, possibly even out of the galaxy

of course, of couse, of course, it's far-fetched lol

ok back to being serious lol. ok if i have my calculations right... halo3 15 levels 1\3 of the game is 5 levels so if the ark was activated then whats gonna happen to those extra 10 levels? we cant just walk around disintigrated

maybe something will go wrong while the ark is activating?

it would certainly give MC something to do

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

Then what are we looking at in the trailer? Some cool light up thing made by an African tribe maybe?

the light could be some sort of beacon to activate the ark somewhere else

Your wrong. The forerunner structure in the trailer is the ark. HERE IS PROOF:

erm... if you were flying toward something that suddenly opened up and shot a big laser wouldn't you turn tail and run? what if it is the Ark and some idiotic human Marine half infected by flood were to accidently activate the ark? huh? what now?

"Ark_09" does not necessarily mean it hasto be the Ark. Not saying it can't be; it could be something related to the Ark, or not at all, for all that's known.

1 7, and the IWHBYD Skull you can argue...

Could be.

I think the Ark is the Forerunner Ship.

It has nothing to do with the fact it was cut from H2. The picture looks identical to the structure in the trailer and it is titled ark.

Theres a lot of proof saying that it is the Ark... The other levels that they show on that same dvd are nameoflevel_02, level_08( I forget which actual leves they show).

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.

The Flood are not dumb enough to activate The Ark.

Activating The Ark is the last thing on Graveminds to do list!

Well, we don't know what the Ark can do. Sure we saw some sort of mechanism being fired. But that could be anything. It could contain anything. I think it contains some sort of testimony. If you look in Exodus 25:16 it says,"Then put in the ark the Testimony, which I will give you." At this point, God is speaking to Moses, who has brought the Israelites out of Egypt. So I think the Forerunners were possibly given something (by who I don't know) to keep in this structure. Testimony is when you give an account of something, so could there be a Testimony in the Ark? Or could the thing the Ark is firing,"be the testimony?"
I also think it could be some sort of "haven," or "sanctuary." It could also be some sort of communication device. I'm not entirely sure myself. There's an article on Wikipedia about the Ark of The Covenant. Maybe it'll help with the theories:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ark_of_the_Covenan t

We left before you came.

You guys are getting it all wrong. The Ark sends signals to the Halos.

Evidence? Or is that just your theory.

You should never just assume.
