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. ^_^
