I thought it was weird that the cloud from the trailer was like a spiraling funnel. I dont think that could happen unless the forerunner artifact was sucking in or had previously shot something up. Unless, there was something coming down out of or just above the clouds.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

I believe that the cloud was just for dramatic impact and to show off the 360's high dynamic range of lighting...in other words, it's there to look pretty.

i beleive if something was comming down it would be the ship truth was on, that would make sense.

I think it was formed from the power of the structure.

Well.. theres also that when you open something of that mass, air pressure is created.. causing some sort of suction to cover the missing pressure in the sealed off structure.. or am i wrong?

if what you say happened then the clouds would either be pushed farther away (not just a little circle above it) or sucked in. and the funnel was there before it opened

It is the revenge of hurricane Andrew. Just happened to be there at the time the structure is opening.

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

Wow, again a rare but good point of intrest. I belive that its possble that its the forerunner ship, but considering it would be shot down, and master chief was not on it...I doubt it.

I just think it was there to look really cool...

My opinion does not matter.

And my opinion tells you to go to hell.

IT can't be the ship unless the MC got off much like the Spartans did on reach. I think it was just there to show the dynamics and emotions of the scene. It really wouldn't be physically possible, but whatever.

well with all the coveant air craft in the area im pretty sure there be some major turblance it would be just like a crap lode of boats on a small lake except the water is now air. so we will rule that out i thinck it ahs something to do more with scenic jesture then anything.
