To play or not to play....

anyone care to share why they think the ark just randomly opened up???


The prophet of Truth activated it.

The Covenant ships we see racing toward it might be elites that the Arbiter has sent to stop the prophet of Truth however they appear to fail. However that may not mean the rings are activated and BANG goes the neighbourhood. We don't know what that light does.

I think it is just some light that glows on the Arc when the Arc is on. Not necessarily when the Arc is being used to activate the rings. We saw a similar thing in the center of High Charity apparently emminating from the forerunners vessel.

Maybe what we see here is the same thing only much larger.

The Prophet of Truth seems to be the most likely explaination as to why it suddenly switches on and opens up.

What happens then is anyones guess. Who knows maybe the world does end *grin*.

or maybe some dude runs out and says "HA HA fooled you all".

well it had a sketch that said "ark" and it clearly showed the same thing we saw in the trailor......i dont see any other way considering the whole "and where orcale is that?" then pans to earth at the end of H2 (pardon my grammer)


ah, yes.. this cutscene I wonder if this scene has something speaking in the background? Reminds me of Whisper in the Storm.

It also shows the moon passing in front of the sun, or at least that's what it looks like. Someone did mention something about the moon earlier.

As with the e3 trailers before halo and halo2.

None has been as they seemed.
In halo2 for ex did mc just jump down to earth from a spaceship to help earth?
They might rechange what we saw in this e3 into something else.

It is definitely the Ark. And why can't the Ark be fired near the beginning of the game? Obviously the Covenant survived the first firing of the Halos, as did humanity. (We've been around about a million years after all) So that must mean that the Forerunners did an imperfect job of creating the Halos. If the Halos were to fire and eliminate most of the humanity and most of the Covenant, wouldn't that make for more interesting story lines later on?

To be honest i think its a big landing pad for the forerunner ship to dock with.

THe ark is on the moon... hence why it always shows the moon first in all the cutscenes. The beam is going to shoot up and hit the moon.... and then it will turn into the ark.

for all we know, that light could be to deactivate the halos. it looked similiar to what happened on delta halo. there are just to many possibilities of who are in the covenant ships(allies or enemies), is that the ark, is the ark protected from the halos, blah blah blah to really know what is going to happen. we can take wild guesses and throw our ideas around, but in the end it is just speculation
