Subject: PUTTING THE DOUBT TO REST - *Evidence that the Ark is in the trailer*

Upon watching the Halo 2 Limited Collecter's Edition DVD tonight, I noticed a brief shot of a concept drawn on a whiteboard of the Ark. This scrawling on a whiteboard looks strikingly similar to the forerunner structure in the Halo 3 trailer. This is from the 'Developing the Game>Designing the Levels' featurette if you want to check it out yourself.

There should be no more question that what we see in the trailer is indeed the Ark. And considering we also know that the trailer takes place roughly 1/3 ways into the game, we can conclude that some crazy -blam!- is gonna go down.

EDIT: Oh, and happy 7/7

HEY 7/7 was the goddam bombings in london!! (but ill forgive ya for the bungie love it was intended to be)

and to throw a spanner into the works; the concept for halo was for it to be an rts, then 3rd person, and then 1ps.


ideas change, possibly including the one for the ark.

my bad on the 7/7, but thankfully you know what i mean ;)

very true, hence i carefully said "evidence" and not "proof." but as is usually the case in most trilogies, if all three parts aren't written at the same time, the second and third acts are written together. so such a crucial part of the story would likely not change.

Lazy Link

And wow, that actually makes some sense, at least the minimun amount of sense it takes to make a valid point on the H3 forums.

and on topic, I'll judge this like any other theory, think "that's plausible" and then wait for the actual game to come out and show me what it really is.

i have noticed that picture also. but this is the first that i saw the _09 part. when ever something like is used in halo it means a installation. like halo 1 was installation 04. see what i mean?

Hmmm Your right... It says there in the pic. "Earth_Ark_09"
Maybe Halo 09 (if there is one) Buried in Earth? Or earth it self?

Thanks for the lazy link Draake.

But thats what i think it is/looks like, and yeah i'm not into writing to long of posts and explaining why i think, why, cause i could be wrong,lol.

And to the Thread starter,
sorry to put it in your thread but i didn't want to fill up the forums, with another theory thread as i'm sure there's enough, plus i dont realy like starting threads, sorry again :)

that makes no sense because high charity is a covenant-buillt city - the homeworld of the profits, and it is where the profits kept the forerunner ship when it came time to go on the great journey. high charity is not a forerunner structure. plus the screen shot in my first post totaly destroys this theory that had no reasoning in the first place.

the only part i have seen online is on the halo 2 page under videos, but it is not the same part of the vid that i found this screenshot on. i think it is the multiplayer video.

Who cares about London lol, so they got bombed, so has much of the rest of the world at some point or more likely multiple points.

Anyways the ark thing has been posted about dozens of times please give it a rest already.

I'm not saying your wrong or anything, but where did you get that info?

This is a definition of dervish:

One that possesses abundant, often frenzied energy: “ [She] is a dervish of unfocused energy, an accident about to happen”

Although i've seen on this ONCE (wow finally not a million times before) before, it wasn't a very popular thread. Thanks for shedding light on the matter for those who hadn't already seen this. Also, how odd that Wuyie hasn't replied to this thread, it seems that he only replies to threads that are.....foolish and are begging for flamers. He's not one to be encouraging when a usefull thread finally shows up. Could it be that the only reason he's here is to make fun of people O_O
