HALO3 Trailer ***SPOILER WARNING***

[Hatchetforce 0]

I put this in a separate thread because it contains a spoiler. It would seem the device in the HALO 3 Trailer is the The Ark. A Forerunner device that would allow all of the HALO Rings to be fired at once.

The Ark is a mysterious Forerunner device from which all the Halos can be activated. In the end of Halo 2, Delta Halo is armed and then unexpectedly shut down, causing it to send a superluminal signal to all other Halos in the galaxy, putting them on standby mode. 343 Guilty Spark informs Miranda Keyes and Sergeant Johnson that the Halos must now be shut down from "The Ark". The location of the Ark is on Earth, buried under the African soil near New Mombasa.

It is also believed, though this is purely speculative, that the Ark may have sheltered the Forerunners after Halo's first use, which then evolved into humanity. In the Bible, God floods the Earth to cleanse it of all life, which has grown evil and wicked. However, he saves a group of righteous humans and some animals by telling them to build and seek refuge in a ship, called the Ark. Thus it is a possibility that in Halo, the Ark is a structure or device that shields those using it from the effects of the rings' activation. The humans on Earth might have descended from those who were protected by the Ark during the first activation of the rings.

I am a reader and an afficianado of Science Fiction., Actually about anything the classics to Cyberpunk. Wiliam Gibson of course being the top in that field. Nothing quite touches Count Zero and it's look at the future mercenary.

Bladerunner is the best science fiction film I have seen to date. It asks the 3 basic questions, Where do I come from, Where am I going, and How long do I have.

However, Halo The Fall of Reach ranks as one of the best science fiction novels ever. Halo 1 and 2 have phenominal gameplay, but they also have a story to match with a story of sacrifice, indominatable will, and courage.
