But it is a good theory. What would happen if the Halos fired again? Would they not kill everything, or just be missing a chunk?


I'm actually pretty sure it was somewhere close to Earth. In the end of Fall of Reach, They escaped Reach, Jumped into slip space, traveled for about 3 hours, and came out near Halo.

 		i agree but in first strike they show the big cavern under reach, so maybe they do a few flashbacks to develop the story?

 		For some interesting things about the Ark and the caves on Reach, read the little booklet that came with your Halo 2 disc.

Nope, the each Halo cleanses 3 Galactic Radii (an entire Galaxy, and the surrounding void for another 1 Radii). The Forrunners' plan was to wipe out several Galaxies that (at that time)were infected by the flood...

The Flood would run out of sustinance before they found new hosts in outer galaxies...

But your underlying theory is correct... The Halos destroy such a vast area of the cosmos, that the chance of only Earth being sheilded would be infinitesimally small.

Frankly, if Earth isn't within the blast radius, then neither are the covenant factory worlds.

OFFTOPIC:
Has anyone noticed that in Astronomical terms, a "Halo" is a ring of tenuous hot gas and old (often dying)stars surrounding a Spiral Galaxy?

The Milky Way is a Spiral Galaxy.

Um, its not each one is big enough to smoke an entire galaxy, its only 25,000 light years. As GS said at the beganing of two betrayls, all of the halo's have to fire for the galaxy to be cleared

well the energy seems to be carried when they are actavated also. in theory the remaining halo's can be actavated and still cover the space left by the destroyed halo.

 		of that was true then there wouldnt need to be 7 halos. yes the blast radius covers a wide distance(yes i know its an understatement but we all get how big the effect is) but it will lose power after some distance. so maybe they could find the halo that is supposed to destroy the area of the milky way and whats around it.

if the halos could overlap their blasts, then the forerunners were extremely paranoid when constructing these things

paranoid? judging how bad the outbreak was i say they were completely sane.

In thIs Picture It SHows The HAlos Only Overlap a bit of each others blast area so there is a chance tht there is an area wicth is non affected by the halos as MC destroyed 1! http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Halo-7-coverage.jpg

 		Halopedia says that each Halo has a blast radius of 25,000 LY. Thats what im going with...
We just need to find out where Installation 04 is...
I think I just stated the obvious xD

 		 halo 3 predictions
halo 3
At the end of halo 2 capitan keves' dauter asks the moniter 343 where is the ARK, then the scene immidatly changes to Master Chief going to earth. My theory is that the ark is just merely another activation device for the giant forrunner structure that you see in the halo 3 debut trailer (go to ign). If you remember that also in the last scene of halo 2 you see the 7 halo rings seperate into a formation that I could picture would all point to one specific area and the fourrunner structure on earth also pointing to the same pointing to the same area also. So if all the rings, and the earth fourrunner gun are all pointing to the same place all that remains is activating them to all shoot and converge in the middle of the universe to destroy everything. But wait... they already have given the green light for go by activating Delta halo in halo 2 they dont need to reactivate them a second time! And moniter also said that the halos could be activated remotely since they temoprally put in the index.. it has the launch codes, all that the rest of the covanet have to do is turn the key on earth sending a signal for all the halos to fire. But since you did watch the trailer on ign you see the earth gun structure fire so is it hypothetital or is Master Chief too late?? buy halo 3... for the record i bought a PS3 bad move on my part...so im not such a die hard halo fan as you would think. I played halo, and halo2 on my PC. And i want the moniter to burn.
