Ride the pickle..... I'd have to say that the pickle would be that covie ship. Cept that's one pimped out pickle.They were tokin bout the announcement trailer and its context. Maby in the game it goes further and you"ride the pickle" in the rest of the scene. Maby its the beggining of a level or smthn. i don no. all i no is i really hope "riding the pickle" isnt what mister chief brings to mind...

I like the idea of the planet not being earth. Cuz how the hell is even the chief supposed to beat an entire fleet of covies and not die from the rain of nukes. Maby it was a military outpost or something. Could even be the moon. It said somewhere (I think the faq) that there is gonna be a moon level, and its 2552, why wouldnt we be living on the moon? Or using it for a military base to replace other ones that were lost, or a last defence if the covies found earth?

WHY?

I never really thought that far into things. It opens up a whole new area of excitement of whats to come in halo 2.

Ya, your right, you have to pay attention to things like that, and the telekenisis should add a challenge in the middle of the fight when they start tossing you arround like the boss if DOOM

Ok, I think people are reading too much into the pickle thing.

Did it occur to anyone that maybe it was just a random sentence said as a joke? Considering the giant mass of info Mr. Staten handed out at E3, I think that makes a lot more sense than "Yooz can ridez teh Cheef!!1!"


Also, it is Earth. Cortana kinda said it. Also, New Mombasa is in AFRICA. It says so right on the screen. So, unless this is some kind of magical Space-Africa, populated by rocket propelled lions, then the Covenant are at Earth.

The new brute gun will probably be the grenade launcher thing from First Strike. Have you guys seen the pic in OXM with the Brute and his beast of a weapon?
Its even got a melee blade on the end!

okay one thing:
another thing, on the announcement trailer, disregarding my above "theory".

Who says that planet with huge explosions on the surface is Earth?


In that sentence it clearly says the Announcement trailer not the E3'03 trailer.

Damn brutes are going to be pretty hard because it takes like 3 or 4 sniper shots in the head to kill em. If that announcement trailer was set on the moon it wouldn't have any gravity so there would be no fire!

BTW could you tell me where you read about the brutes (the information about them needing to be shot 3-4 times witha sniper rifle)?

this game takes place wayyyyy for into the future, who says it cant be on the moon, and i (well i know i didnt) didnt say it could have taken place on the moon. You never know cos, the trailer never gives you any hints to what the planet is, just a bunch of military stuff over the radio.

Thats another thing, during that announcement trailer, they general was asking the other dude to retarget the ?Orbiters? what could they be?

Alright, using everyones info I have been able to piece this together:

The chief boards a cruiser it and sends it to hell. He steals a dropship or something and heads down to earth (Im pretty sure its earth. In the announcment trailer, you can tell that the moon is in it and its our moon + the game mostly takes place on earth). he fights a few battles and finds out whats going on:

The Covenant are digging for a crystal in New Mombassa and a Prophet is there to head the digging after they clear out the humans. Thus, the Chief has 2 goals:

1) Stop the Covenant project

2) Capture a prophet (That was his main mission before Halo)


Well, what do you guys here on the forums think? It's a long shot, but it could be fairly close.

I read about the Brutes in OXM which had a whole bunch of stuff on Halo 2
Godfather's info makes sense, but there are so many questions...

read the books the main misson is to save man kind and destroy the covenent. Also in that traler thing one of the Bungie dudes sain It would be a galatic romp from one place to the next. they also mentoned something about other forerunner ficilitys.

Yeah the Halo 2 documentary mentioned that stuf and it showed some jackals in another Forerunner facility. The books have so much important and mysterious info that you just have to read them.

Earth is pretty much screwed once the MAC guns are sestroyed or the generators for them are destroyed
