Intresting about Halo

Thanks to mazt0rchief @ bungie.

He is talking about the trailer, just so you know.

Subject: ----Important UPDATE----Something no one noticed.


Something important I think needs to be pointed out.

Between 1:00 and 1:04, as John walks through the smoke, you can see three quick flashes in the top right corner of his visor, while this happens he is looking up at the Capitol ship entering the area of the Domed Object, after the 3 lights flash, he quickly nods as if he were talking to someone, 3 light flashes for 3 Spartans?

At 1:12 in the video, during the close up on Johns helmet, in the top right (your left) of his visor, a faint light pops up, if you can imagine from the Halo books, when Spartans comunicate to each other the use acknowlagement lights that blink on Master Chiefs HUD, these lights would most likely be in the corner, off to the side of his visor so as not to obscure his vision.
Now, if that is what I think it is, who, and more importantly how is he comunicating with another Spartan? Are we going to see the return of Kelly, Linda, Fred and Will in Halo 3? I can only hope.
Here is a picture of where to look- Acknowledgement

Everyone keeps asking about the lights on the visor and instead of reading the answers they just flame the thread, read before you post, so you dont just spam the thread with stuff that was already pointed out.

-------------------------
Did anyone else get the feeling that the activation of the "structure" was unintentional?

At 1:25 as Spartan-117 steps to the ledge overlooking the object, you can see 27 Covenant Cruisers in a hold position, around the crater, as 9 Banshees ESCORT a lone Phantom, toward the structure.

At 1:26 we can see 3 Cruisers in a hold position above the structure.

At 1:34 when the installation begins to open, the Banshees and the Phantom break formation, and turn away from structure in an evasive pattern.

At 1:39 you can see the Cruiser above Spartan-117 immediately fire up its engines and turn on an out-of-area vector.

And finally, at 1:45, the two remaining Cruisers above the structure fire their engines, again, on an out-of-area vector.

Now, my question to you is, why would the Covenant, who are hell-bent on begginning their Great Journey, flee from its Holy Light? Have you ever seen a spiraling vortex in the sky when Delta Halo was activated?
This really interests me because no theory I have ever seen explains this phenomena, which makes me wonder, what if what was activated, wasn't what everyone thinks it is (the Arc)? Maybe, in some horrible way... something worse.

Also, I'd have to guess it was Truth and his Brutes in the Phantom being escorted to the object, even the ships that are holding around the installation, most likely unfriendly Covenant. Just because they dont turn and fire at John doesnt mean they are friendly.
When the Covenant see something more important ahead of them, they rush into it, no need to fight a Human after the Great Journey begins, right? (if memory serves me correctly...) Think about how Tartarus borderline ignored The Arbiter, and forced Miranda to insert the index on Delta Halo.

Something else interesting I feel the need to note, exactly what Cortana says.

At 0:34, something eerily similar to the copied Cortanas from First Strike, over and over you hear a sort of stuttered "I..." which leads to "I have defied Gods and Demons." If you listen close enough you can hear a slightly overlayed voice that sounds a lot like Gravemind.

At 0:52 we can again hear the stuttered "I..." which leads to, I think "I am your shield, I am your sword."

At 1:04 we hear her quite clearly say "I know you... your past... your future."

And finally, at 2:04 she says "This, is the way the world ends."

Any Bungie lore lovers will instantly think back to the days of the Cortana letters, which can be found here.

Here is next!

Mr Bubble @ bungie.

Why did they decide that the Master Chief's name would be John? Was it, that they first looked at the passage in the bible, revelations 1 which talks about how one of Jesus' apostle, John heard the revelation of Jesus Christ from an angel. Verse 17 in that passage is "When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.". As in John is the first Spartan II they found, and will probably end up being the last to survive?

Or maybe, it's because the ark to protect gods good creatures from the flood was Noah's ark. In the name "NOAH" it has the same letters as there would be in the name "JOHN" except for the fact that the letters are in a different order, and Noah has "A" and John has "J". On a standard "qwerty" keyboard, "J" is 7 away from "A". (A-S-D-F-G-H-J. Count letters) which seems to be Bungie's number (also in the same passage as above, 7 is mentioned a lot).

Or a combination of both, or I could just be completely stupid and waaaaay too obsessed about Halo. Well either way I don't care. I have a theory, about the entire Halo story. I KNOW that HEAAAAAPS of people have talked about links between Halo and the bible yadayadayada, but I'm just gonna piece some of that together.

I'm not really religious, but doesn't the ark of the covenant have something to do with the 10 comandments? Well I assumed that it did. I have a theory that God has seen over centuries, the 10 comandments which he created, are not being obeyed, by everyone. The intelligent creatures he created, do not care. I think this "Great Journey" is ending this sinful Universe. Ending it to make a greater good. In the first Cortana letter she says "I have seen your future........(two lines down)......There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.". This might talk about how, she has seen how the gods will destroy this universe. Create one without envy, without anger, without sadness. No sins.

I say, that the Forerunners, are gods, or godlike. In the bible, Jesus is referred to as a forerunner somewhere (it's somewhere in there i think). They created the facilities to hold the flood. In case of the universe turning bad. Eventually, this flood would push everyone back to the ark. The covenant and the humans as we have seen so far. At the ark, maybe they would find refuge or be reminded of the gods somehow, and sins.

This is all I can put into words at the moment. This theory has got my head spinning. Too many things are swirling around up there. I have the ideas, I just can't write it down. When I got the story straight, I will write it from start to finish. At the moment, I'm just gonna put my theory up.

Also, another thing. In the beginning of the first Cortana letter, she says "I have walked the edge of the abyss". Revelations 11:7 says "Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them.".

In the second Cortana letter she says in one of the lines "And what of the Giants who formed this world?". I think that refers to the gods. She kinda blabbers on just like me in that letter, so it's hard to understand.
Talk about your theories on that

Thanks to all who found this!
