This is a mirror of my bungie.net post. I figured I would get better, less whiny/idiotic replies here. ------------------------------------------ Taken from here. BOOK SPOILERS And now, PARDON OUR DUST: Anyone can see that the two match perfectly. The new campaign levels will follow the story of Onyx. My theory only, no proof: The planet in the legendary ending is Onyx, just like everyone thought. The new expansion will have MC meet the spartans on Onyx either in the ending or the last level. EDIT - What I am referring to as "Onyx" is in fact the Dyson Sphere located in a field of Slip Space within the Sentinel planet core. The slip space explosion from the ark may have knocked the Dyson sphere out of slip space. What is seen in the legendary ending is the outside of this sphere. EDIT - To those saying the Dyson Sphere is not the right size: EDIT - If you will remember, I suggested that it was knocked OUT of slipspace. This sudden return to normal geometry would return it to its correct size of two AU. ------------------------------------- End of mirror.
Interesting. It could be true although I dont know. It didnt make too much sense what you put to compare it with the book. Good book though.
Seems feasable to me, although I don't see where the superintendent would come into all this. Maybe that's a secret...
it seems like a well thought out theory, i read ghosts of onyx so it sounds plausible. however if it is the dyson sphere what does the ark explosion have to do with anything, the arks explosion wasnt that big....err...was it.
The ark explosion was actually the halo being detonated. From halopedia "Each Halo installation has a maximum effective range of 25,000 light-years." That is a long way. Not to mention there just happened to be a huge slip space entrance right next to it at the time.
I doubt its onyx, If you look closely at the video, you see that the camera angles are of african cities near mombasa, you can clearly see the space elevator that was destroyed also. So the best guess it is happening between halo 2 and a bit before halo 3. Thats my hypothesis though.
Several people fail to understand that I do not mean the new trailer shows onyx. The new trailer clearly shows New Mombasa.
