Call me Wolfie | My anti-drug
New Flood for life <3

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.

Hey thanks!

One thing though wumbo, like I stated before, I understand they never met on earth. But where they are in the scene could be anywhere in the universe. Still doesn't change the fact that the stars are in the sky

The stars mean virtually nothing. Also, this is made by Digital Domain, they like cool effects, there the worlds leading CGI trailer makers. It looks better then a few dots of light in th sky. Again, over time new things could become visible.

I just read this, and KP of Bungie clearly states that the trailer takes place on Earth. Near the end of the page.

Which can be used as proof that the two kids are not John and Kelly! Either they are kids of our era, or from that era. Or just plainly a dream caused by a pass-out.

Ok, this is what I have so far.

Point: The trailer takes place on Earth, the same location the whole time.
Proof: If you look at the last frame of he night scene, and the first frame of the shell shock scene, the changes are just the brightness of the sky and some grass missing, but the remaining grass is the same in both, and the helmet doesn't move.

Actually, that all I can remember at the moment thats still at debate.

Answering Halo2Girl305, it has to be Earth. The possibilities of it being another planet are narrow-slim! The transition from both scenes show that it is higly possible for the first scene taking place in Earth. Unless there is another planet that shows to be an excact replica of Earth! But it is still good that you are working on it! All of us!

Exactly KILLX_! It has to be Earth! But if we apply the kids, are they from our time, or the future? I also think I am getting a litle too carried off with the little kids! Hahaha!

Okay, but why would there be a helmet in the grass with the kids? Maybe Dr. Hasley is bringing in a 3rd generation of spartans? Then again, they are one earth. Well, I had my hopes up for John and Kelly, they are mt favorite characters.

And in the new books, Kelly takes a bigger role than Master Chief, who barely appears.

Don't die! Hahaha! But I believe the helmet is there for the transition to the next scene or to show that the Master Chief if returning from his concussion.

Call the Chief, he'll put you out of your misery by either killing you, or giving you a free copy.

Did I mention he may also bore you with the details of the war, and show you all his stupid scars?

Then again, your a girls, hes a guy, so maybe you'll be the first to see his face.

That is true he does say it takes place on Earth, but he doesn't state that, Earth, is the only place that it does take place! Seems like a nice loophole that Bungie could leave in.

This flashback could be from an artificially created environment! lol Just like they have on Star Trek, you can go in there and experience whatever you want. It is Artificial Reality perfected. It would make sense to me, if they are harvesting these kids to be warriors that they need a bit of a normal life so they have a reason to fight!

Why would chief want to defend Earth if he has never been there! So they give these children opportunities to experience what Earth is really like?

lol sorry if I upset anyone who was really happy that they finally thought it was on Earth!

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

and possibly get some action to create little spartan/normal human mutants and build up the army.

I havn't read the last few pages of posts so dont know if any1's said this but i was wondering how that shield would be used and i dont think it would be a grenade (partly because its confirmed that there are only 3 types.) Im pretty sure it would be just another weapon and probably only in campain. But you may say he's already equiped with 2 weapons AR and pistol, but if you notice he's using the pistol at the same time as the sheild thingy...Dual weilding.

The "shield grenade" maybe is not a grenade although it looks like one. The only new grenade that I know they will put in is the spike grenade.

You obviously dont know the back story.

The SPARTAN II trainees are abducted by the UNSC at age 6. They are forced into training, but are told their purpose, to finally stop the rebel forces. The Covenant were not known before the SPARTAN II program began.
Almost all of the wanted to fight anyway, they liked the idea that they'd be heroes.

95% of the Halo 2 XBL population mods. If you're one of the 5% who actually has a life, C&P this into your signature.™

88% of people playing halo 2 are below the age of 12. If you are one of the 12% that are older than 12 put this on your sig

WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS GAME AND I HOPE IT COMES OUT WHEN THEY SAY IT IS NOT HOW LONG HALO 2 TOOK BUT ITS GOING TO BE THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!

1. Don't type all in caps, it makes you look like an attention seeking idiot.
2. The needler is still there, and when people say "Oh -blam!- he has a needler!" it wont be sarcasm anymore, according to Bungie.
