DFang:I think that that was either the portal, or that it means that Earth is another world somewhat like Onyx.  The Forerunners could've found the early humans on a planet that was totally screwed, then they'd built a new one for them (within the marginot line), and migrated a couple humans there.

oh, now see, THIS is what i'm talking about! good discussion on very possible outcomes. 

maybe the Forerunners "reinforced" Earth or simply buried something else near the portal? like an underground colony? or stasis pod cluster?

I think Truth is going to go down there and stroke his p-erm, I mean he will go down there and worship the forerunner artifacts.

I don't think that Earth was a world similar to Onyx. Onyx was a gathering of billions of Sentinels covered in terrain. I think that if Earth were similar, we would know. (i.e. no plate tectonics, geological history, etc) Now Earth having a network of Forerunner structures surrounding and underlying the Ark? Entirely possible.

Not seen the ending yet but done campaign just not lengendary

But the forerunners re-populated humanity thats why human are known to be forerunner guilty spark even said in halo CE that he was glad the forerunners could reproduce after the fireing of the halo array.

i dont think the earth is a replica but is the real deal otherwise humanity would have found honeyconed tunnels by now and random holes everywhere. the buildings do look forerunner in some respects but that goes back to the humans being forerunner thing so i guess it was normal for em to choose that style.

but i no they built the ARK on earth 100,000 years ago so it is possible that more technology was left hidden some where for the humans to find to help them to become the new dominant race in the galaxy ( we also proved we where capable of that by streching in to space colonizing 800 planets and defeating the Covenant) as well as the flood which the forerunners where unable to do

( in fairness though the flood attackin in trillions against the forerunner we just got attacked by a major galatic city - but hey thats not the point we beat 2 huge armys both trying to bring the human race to extinction :D go us

if u noticed tho they found those on reach and they did'nt dig as far as they did on earth so i think we would have found them by now dont u

It really depends on where we're digging and how many are on Earth. It could be that they're just near the Ark. In that case, how much digging has happened there?

There's also the differences of Earth and Reach. I don't think we know exactly how deep we dug on Reach compared to Earth, but Earth was fairly new to the Forerunners. The Librarian pretty much stumbled upon us and said "Oh hey cool! A new species. I think I'm gonna build them a Portal so they can be safe too!" (that was EXTREME paraphrasing, and assumes the 'humans are not forerunner' argument) So pretty much the only place on Earth that was visited by the Forerunners was the Portal in Kenya.

First of all, your ALL idiots. Everyone one of you. The spartan R41 is a particular idiots. There is no "humans are not forerunner" argument. It was implyed and almost directly stated that humans are related to the forerunner ; the reason for the war between humanity and the covenent was because humans were related to the forerunner. Second, it is implyed earth was not the original home world of the humans, though rather a planet found for them after the great boom (the activation of the rings XD).

On a side note, cheese is nice.

We all know we are descendants of forerunner the 1st game spark said hes glad the forerunners reproduced

i didn't say all of humanity, after all that was 100,000 years ago but as the years go on the genes pass thought to more humans so that shows were ARE in fact decennials.

I no why the war was started because the prophets wanted to destroy the humans because of there relation to the forerunner and if any1 else found out the covenant would fall apart,

I would also like you to tell me where u found the idea of earth not being the 1st human home, because i think everybody assumes earth was the human home world in the halo universe, hence why it was so heavily guarded because it was the human home world and the forerunners found earth and buit the portal to the ark to protect them for when the time comes and a great place for the forerunners to rebuild because ( dilect i think it was) or didect said it was a peaceful place and the humans had promise and spent his last minutes on the planet

So im pretty sure im not in the IDIOT category Pal as i have done my research on halopedia several times

Ps cheese is also nice XD

Thank you for assuming, you prat. And not even with proper grammar. Now to retaliate.

AHTFrigate:

There is no "humans are not forerunner" argument.

Is there a "Humans are Forerunner" argument? Then there is also a "Humans are not Forerunner" argument to be made. For every argument there is a negative (or opposite) argument. As 343 Guilty Spark was several thousand years old, and without a doubt rampant, his word is a little sketchy. Enter the possibility that allows the opposing argument.

AHTFrigate:

See, right there you acknowledge it. "It was implied." That means it's not a solid fact, but a shadow of a fact.

AHTFrigate:

the reason for the war between humanity and the covenent was because humans were related to the forerunner.

Correction; the Human Covenant war was waged because the Prophets knew that Humans were the "Reclaimers," and that they alone could start the Forerunner artifacts. They were under the impression that Humans were descended from Forerunners, but never knew this as a sold fact; only a shadow of a doubt. They proceeded to destroy humanity because this perception could shatter the Covenant hierarchy and the Prophets' hold on the six lesser species of the Covenant.

AHTFrigate:

Second, it is implyed earth was not the original home world of the humans, though rather a planet found for them after the great boom (the activation of the rings XD).

Where on Earth did you read that? In the Terminals it's said that the Librarian found humanity on Earth (another allowance for the oposing argument) and built the Portal for them because they were "special." That was on their home planet, now where's the Portal? Good boy.

AHTFrigate:

On a side note, cheese is nice.

I dub thee Mud.

As for the  "Humans are Foreruner" argument? I'm in agreement with that. But you didn't care to know that, did you? You just assumed. I don't care if this was "trolling" or not, you're the idiot, kid.

Has anyone thought that the legendary ending is not on earth but on reach cause bungie makes their legendary endings tied to their next game well most of the time and we know that it is Forerunner design and If you read The Fall Of Reach you'll know that there are many Forerunner artifacts under reach and the odst legendary ending that Truth is looking at, it looks like the Forerunner thing under the bridge in Narrows well thats what I think.

The Engineer contained information as to why the covenant was digging, it doesn't explain this in halo 3 of course but the engineer obviously helped with its "LIMITED" knowledge of the covenant battle plan, probably information on what they were doing etc, of course they had no idea where they would pop up and that lead them to the Ark where they destroyed it, then after that they popped up in the dead space from what i gather the Spirit of Fire intercepted the Mastercheif and cortana.

 For those of your interested i have noticed some things that others may have missed.

   There are a set of eyes in the sky on the Halo 3 disk

   You can see Victoria and Buck on the Halo Reach wallpaper that has been released, questionably the other characters around them are     other     memebers of the known ODST squad but question can be razed as to a different ODST team becaue the ODST that you see in Halo 3 ODST include "replacements" as Buck states them. Rookie is defiantly new from what i gather.

 

Does that mean we play as ODST in Halo Reach? Halo ODST was fun and all but I want to get back to spartans now =/

maybe an ODST multiplayer? holy crap, that would be the best thing in the world. i personally do not like H3 multiplayer, i stink at BRing. but with that AutoMag in Multiplayer? that would kick @ss!! my thoughts on Reach would be a squad-based, ODST-like combat engine, with an ODST multiplayer... instant classic, and what a way to end the series!

 as far as the legendary ending for ODST, i just WANT it to be something big and continuous.

the manager of a gamestop i go to said that in reach you do play as master chief

I highly doubt that, as Reach was a good ways before the events in ODST. Truth was already back (if he even went) to Reach during Halo 2.

It's possible, but there's most likely going to be more than the Master Chief who you play as. I would actually like to play with the Chief, not as. 

Plus, that's what the GameStop manager said. They don't really know everything.

Oddly enough humanity seems somewhat incapable of discovering forerunner artifacts because other than Onyx the UNSC never found any other artifacts before the Covenant, somehow they never found the portal beneath New Mombasa(the superintendent did at the last possible second)  or the ruins under Reach. and i think that the Legendary ending was kind of pointless because it was likely the portal to the Ark, it would have belonged if ODST was released before Halo 3
