I apologize in advance for creating another theory thread, but I felt I just had to....

Yes as we all know some of the covenant has sided with the humans at least the arbiter and his small crew so far. But the trailer leads me to believe at this point in the game, I think we team up totally with the covenant. Or at least a huge portion.

I say this because I was rewatching the trailer and I was wondering why the hell all those Banshees, Phantoms, and their huge battleship is not blowing the -blam!- out of MC, I mean their flying right over his head, if they were enemies the MC would just be the coolest crater ever. So this leads me to believe that the we unite against the common enemy the Flood.

Maybe the Gravemind somehow triggered the Ark

Any way....

"I have defied gods and demons."

Simple enough Gods= Prophtes Demons=MC

"I am your shield; I am your sword."

This wa shard for me to decipher I'm thinking maybe since I believe it is the Gravemind in control that he is one of the reasons why MC is fighting why he needs a "shield and sword" The gravemind gives MC purpose to fight.

"I know you; your past, your future"

Easy enough as well, past can be learnt through Cortana he knows him through their encounter together with the Arbiter and the future can be his death, maybe the Gravemind has some sort of way to kill and wipe out everything hence his knowledge of the future.

"This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper."

Cortana can be heard screaming in the video in the background so maybe she is pleading with the Gravemind not to do "something" maybe this something is the end of the world.

P.S. When the trailer first opens up is that the Zanzibar turbine in the back? Or part of a bridge I couldn't tell.

Anyway sorry if this has been satted before. ^_^

Location: Outlaws' Summit.

yeah, weve heard it but im always up to discuss

i however think that the ships in the trailor are the enemy

the trailor takes place 1/3 of the way thru the game, i think thats wayyyy to early for any alliance

and the elites arent on earth, theyre all above HC trying to win against the odds.

i believe that those ships are covie controlled cuz remember, its an "excavation " group

but thats just my opinion

Well if I was one of those pilots I would have hit him just for target practice, I'm sure he's well know as the prominent enemys of the Cove and a tall jolly green giant just standing their is a sore spot lol


I just can't see how they couldn't notice him.

The "demons" Cortana is referring to is more likely the Flood. The "gods" I think presonally refers to the Covenant, or more precisely the technology used by the Covenant elite. Cortana resides in the MJOLNIR suit, which was designed by human scientists as a shield for the SPARTAN-IIs. Cortana is the name of a very famous sword, and Cortana was designed to slice into Covenant computer systems and extract the location(s) of Covenant homeworlds for attack by human forces. The suit is both shield AND sword. Of course Cortana knows MCs past, and the future has been pretty blatantly stated: The world is going to end. 'Nuff said.
