first of all.... the boy and the gurl are indeed jhon and kelly, seccond when you c the helmet in the grass its b/c MC has just been knocked ta frick upside the head and is having a bit of a passout dream, he wakes up and puts the helmet back on, when he does this you clearly view a WARTHOG directly o his left sholder, when he throws doen the shield grenade if you notice directly to his left again is the vehicle, he HASNT MOVED HIS FOOTING, THE VEHICLE IS NOW A MONGOOSE, WTF!!!, bad screw up there bungie, but anyway moving on, when he jumps over the ledge into the group of SEEMINGLY ELITES, those are not ELITES, elites are much thinner and stand about a foot taler than a brute, the enemy in the center is a brute however. the enemy you see standing around him are not brutes, there wearing heavy armor, first .. brutes dont wear armor and second they arnt hunched over like a brute the posture is all wrong, this species in infact a NEW species of covenant eneme, unless DRONES decided heavy armor is the new shell and decided it was cool to wear it.


in conclusion
bungie you screwed up on one thing there, they boy and gurl in the feild are indeed jhon and kelly resting in the grassy feild on reach, OR a personal idea of mine is that the gurl may be jhons unanounced sister and the planet there on is infact jhons home planet and this moment takes place b4 jhon was chosen for the S2 program, there is a really sweet new grenade, we can expect to see some new armor on MC - the gloves are different and the helmet is different, and in ghost of onix MC get new armor, we can expect to see some new enemies and a shat load of awsome desert levels and new wraiths, also expect some new "brute ghosts" an upgrade from the 'ghost"

thank you thank you
i hope to get some good detailed feedback on the post, get to it, i want auchual facts from the books and games and quotes from the editors and the collectors dvd and crud like that, if you aint got facts then dont try to foil my prediction and interpretation of this clip, i know it all.....well almost all of it....im still second guessing on the sister thing...


You shouldn't just assume Bungie screwed it up. They are a highly experienced game studio, and the flagship studio for Microsoft. They have made the most anticipated and played games on XBOX, and so far, the most anticipated on XBOX 360.

Also, the Chief is NOT in ghost's of Onxy.

The shield is not a grenade. A grenade is a hand held explosive device with an internal timer, thats normally thrown. The shield device is clearly a portable temporal energy displacement generator (it manipulates the very matter in the area around it to capture and solidify energy into a barrier, for a temporary period)

In future please use more paragraphs and proper grammar. What you posted is difficult to understand.

There are 2 explanasions that i think describe the flashback:

1. The Boy in the trailer is indeed the Master Cheif and it is his flashback.
2. The flashback belongs to Cortana and he is remembering it somehow because Cortana is back in his mind so to speak.



This website describes the trailer perfectly and they have some good ideas: http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/749/749182p1.html

I loved how HoBo 76 said the kids were definitely John and Kelly and then gave his OWN theory on who they are hahahaahaa.

Way to contradict yourself.

yeah i hear cortana in the back ground. thats kinda cool. its a really cool flashback and a kick ass commercial. and the enrgy sheild gernade... WOW. i wonder if you could throw them. like if your buddy were betting raped, you could help him. or to give your odd ball carrier a few seconds to recharge. and i wonder if the deflected bullets would bounce derectly back at the shooter and damage them. not to mention, an enemy bouncing off of the energy sheild. it an enemy would bounce off, then it would be a good way of protecting the flag, or jsut a cool way of killing player walking buy.

i don't read into the halo lit.... who is kelly? is is cortana?

also, don't know if any one else has heard this, but in the first trailer when cortana says "I am your Shield, i am you sword" i sound very familliar. like something out of the greeks, or the bible... something about it, i've heard it somewhere.

I need to watch it a few more times but does anyone think when MC is getting up and the girl says time to go.The marine then says I think we lost him.Then MC says not yet.The first few times I watched this I kept thinking mabey he was talking to the marine or in general about what the marine said but what if hes refering to what the girl said? I mean she said time to go then he said not yet...I mean its a bit out there but then again its something to look at..If thats the case I wonder what they could be talking about?..I didnt get a chance to read the all the books yet and I need to reread them so If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.

that sound really good... kind of like i gotta get up and keep fighting. or i've got to finish the fight.

ok so maybe i'm going too far with this, but i think its worth it.

"i am your shield, i am your sword"

in the bible, "i am your Shield" is a message given to Abraham by God.
"I am you sword" is not found, but "I am the Word" is found in many places. and any one who know the bible knows that God's Sword is his word... in fact i remember hearing that in psalms or somthing.
know, one of the famous people in the bible who travled through the dessert was moses. Moses was send by god to find the prophets and tell them his word, he had a stick not a sword, but the word of God was the sword.

Every one that God entrusts with his word, is trying to make his way to the Holy city. this might be the journey of the master chief, up the coast of africa, from the New Mombas, though egypt, and them to the Holy City, where it is believed that the ARK of the COVENANT is being held. what the Covenant prophets are looking for.

so here comes the master chief -- wasn't his name John.... like John from The book of Revelation, the last book in the bible -- trying to stop the prophets.
will they find the ARK? it won't be nice... remember the indiana jones movie about the Lost Ark. yeah that was not a pretty picture was it.

I know you, your past, your future. Abraham from Genesis and John from Revelation, first and last book of the bible, alfa and omega. alsobungie loves the number seven, like the Seven tribes that where promissed to abraham and the last Seven Plagues in Relelations promissed by John. "this is the way the world ends."

ok i gotta go to class now. enjoy.

no, i don't really care if yo have it in you sig, I just thought you might have known where it came from as well. It came from a scene in Robot Chicken. The scene is a clown with a indigestion keeling over. another clown comes in and the first clown asks if he has any pills or a cure for his sickness. The second clown then punches the first clown in the stomach and says "side effects may include: I just kicked your F***in ass.

There is a Halo/ mario scene from Robot Chicken that is pretty funny- search for Halo Mario on google video to watch it.

Who in the hell would think a fly could support the flood!?!?!?


You clearly state that the Halo's kill all possible flood vessels, then in brackets say something along the lines of 'in other words all life is destroyed.'
Fly's are alive, so I'm merely explaining how flawed your logic is.


Im simply assuming that people arent stupid enough to think something as mediocre as a fly is a possible vessel for the flood...

interesting...very interesting.... I wonder...if that girl is Kelly, then you may remember that Dr. Hasley "kid-napped" her. If somehow Kelly was killed... what if John 117 was close (and I mean very close) to death... what if, by "Time to go" meant something like leaving his life, or dying. and what if John 117 was to proud, to angry to fall to the covenant... and by "not yet" he might have meant "I'm not dieing just yet!"... but this is if he was talking to the girl in the flashback as WOLF cleverly stated...

Is halo 3 beta out for those who signed up?

  • 12.06.2006 11:59 AM PDT

Here's the sound script from what I can make out for those who are uncertain.


Child 1 - You ever wonder what's up there?
Child 2 - Like what?
Child 1 - Maybe someone up there was wondering what it's like here.
Child 2 - I guess, do you think we'll ever meet them?
Child 1 - I hope so, don't you?

*Screaming*
*Explosion*
*Shell-shock whistling*
*Battle Net Chatter in Background*

Child 2 - Do you think we'll ever meet them?

*Helmet on*

Child 1 - *whisper* Time to go.
Cortana - Chief do you read me?
Marine - Can anyone help me?
Johnson - Chief!?
Marine - Marine fall back now!
Johnson - Any sign of the Chief?
Marine - Negative sarge, I think we lost him.
Master Chief - Not yet.

*Halo soundtrack start*
*Grenade Activation*
*Grenade Hit Floor*
*Shield activate*
*Wraith mortar explosion*
*Soundtrack becomes louder*
*Running*
*Explosions and Pelican Engines*

We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

*just finished backreading*

For the person who said that the other child isn't a girl, the interview or w/e with Frankie says otherwise.

Ironlion: Who says "Time to go" as Master Chief gets up in the ad?
Frankie: The little girl.
Frankie: A little girl.

And for people who think they are random children...why would they be in the same uniform? And also around the age of 6-10 which was when they were kid-napped for the Spartan project.
Things bring up what someone else stated about the helmet in the grass belonging to one of them (taking a break from their suits), good interpretation. But in the book they had the enhancement surgery at the age of 14 and then were fitted for their suits after their first mission.

As for the shield/grenade...I am still trying to contemplate on that lol.

Oh, and for the guy who supposivly "read all the books and collected everything Halo"....I suggest making it 51 times.

OMG!!!!! The commercial was F##K##G amazing! I agree that the two kids are John and Kelly, and the screaming is definatly the bomb falling beside MC but it kinda would make sense if it was people screaming when the covenant took over. And all the people that think there are quite a lot of faults in the commercial e.g. (easter eggs) are all stupid. Bungie is too much of an experienced company to screw up that badly!

However, i do think it is a little odd that MC jumps down into a crowd of 14 Brutes and around 6 wraiths. As some people have said they noticed that the Brutes were running away, well it's a bit hard to imagine a large group of brutes and 6 WRAITHS running away from one guy don't u think??? Even if it is MC...

I'm not sure if anyone has metioned this but the new formation of the shotgun looks pretty nice, i can't wait to check out the other re-formed weapons.

And now for the shield well personally it is pretty sweet but i doubt that Bungie would put so u can use it whenever u need to, i think that there will certain points in the game when u must use it e.g. out numbered fights like in the commercial. Or if so against difficult enimies like Tautarus in Halo 2.

What do u guys think of when Kelly/girl says faintly "Time to go"?? she says this as soon as MC rises and just before he puts on his helmet???

XD

And yes, that screaming is the sound effects of the blast, another thing mentioned in Frankie's thing:

Veegie: What were the high pitches screaming during the time frame transition?
Frankie: The high pitched screaming was a transition to the explosion noise
Frankie: it was artsy

Well, now I'm back home, I can finally reply to everything I see (school PC's are -blam!-)

Thats quiet a good theory, could you specify the time when the girls says time to go? I never hear that, but people talk about it. Also, shortly I'll be able to post word by word what is said, and if anyone else is interested in doing so them selves, I'm using adobe audition 2.0 to slow down the play back.

Yet another good theory, but here are the flaws.

The Ark is not of the Covenant. Its basically the master control center for all the Halo's, and probably other things, built by the Forerunners.

Also, it may not be "I am your sword in the trailer," ever since someones mentioned that it might be "I am your source" instead of "I am your sword," I haven't been able to hear sword again. Now that I'm aware of that, I always hear source no matter how hard I try.

Edit: Also, "This is the way the world ends" is also from a poem, the verse goes "This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper"

Edit: Playing it back -3X now, gonna type in every single word I hear and post it here, along with the most likely meanings based on the information accumulated in this forum.

Edit as well, but same time as above: And to those that said I'm a stubborn idiot that needs to give up when proven wrong, I do give up when proven wrong. My mind works very different from most people, I can analyze tiny details when I watch, read, and hear, without even meaning to. My mind works in a very scientific fashion, sub consciously analyzing every piece of information I find, and applying what I know in the most logical fashion.

If I am persistent when it seems that I'm wrong, its because you logic doesn't fit correctly, and I can still find ways in which my concept is correct.
