Our Halo 3 Theory

We're always thinking about videogames, almost more than we think about women. This worries us sometimes.

We think about our special games, the one's we play more than any others. For Wratty this is Halo 2, or Geometry Wars, Mario Brothers 3, Animal Crossing, Ninja Gaiden, Dizzy or Uno.

We've been thinking recently about these Halo "Forerunner" rumors. Most of the time there is some speckle of truth in every rumor you read, especially those one's that pop up very often and on the more reputable sites of the internet.

So let us present you with the theory.
Halo 2 allowed us to control another character within the franchise, the Arbitur. Bungie know that a lot of people didn't like this and most found it boring. (Wratty blindly loved it!) What this did however is allow for a different method of story telling - how best to get out the story from both sides.


We believe that this time you'll be able to do the same thing again, however controlling a character from a different, not a concurrent timeline. Pictures this - Halo 3 begins exactly where the last took off, you're aboard that big ship you stowed away on and you're working your way through it to try and stop them getting to earth. You fail and you end up on earth, (Let's face it, they'll take you back to earth because they were the most enjoyable levels in Halo 2) or possibly the moon. Either way the story will most likely continue the prophet's mission to activate the ark, which is believed to be at one of these places. If not part of, or the ship itself.

Then the action switches to somewhere in the past - something mirroring what is happening right now in the future, but something relevant to the forerunners themselves. Who you would control we don't know. Perhaps an actual forerunner, but this narrative will once again to help deliver the story and fill in the missing pieces.


You'd find out what the forerunners looked like, why they couldn't stop the flood and instead created the Halo rings and why they vanished. Hopefully the biblical references will be explained with the relation of the flood and the Ark, we may find that if the Ark is indeed located on Earth, then we could in fact be the forerunners and wouldn't that be interesting for the remaining Prophet?


There you have it! Remember this isn't us giving out "insider" news - we don't know anyone inside anywhere. It's just a bit of fun so tell us, what do you think chaps?
