If you check the 'Array_Recorder_Data' from Server 1 (or thebruce's excellent wiki) it references the firing of the Halo's, specifically calling them 'arrays.' Also the quote '871803909 � 384 hours since event' when worked out gives a rough time of about 99,500 years ago, and Guilty Spark said (in the year 2552, 545 years in the future) that the Halos were first fired 100,000 years ago, give or take a few.

Interesting, I'll hang around to see if this develops into something. I'll bet though that this is just one last push to get people interested in halo 3 as apposed to an actual storyline thing.

I haven't been following this veery closley until the artical was found saying IRIS is over, but anyway we know one thing that it probably cant bee cortana cause this is taking place in this time so we dont know anything about cortan but it can be possible cortana was made way before the hal ostory arc

Well thats what I always thought, that it couldn't be Cortana because of the time aspect.

However, seeing as Iris was a bit screwed up in the fact that several aspects of it made no sense - a company called Flood Containment Control having a Forerunner message??? It could be that it was never meant to be that deep.

Remember the Cortana letters? Although they have been declared non-canon, its just an example of how Bungie does things.

Plus there's always the time-travel idea...

THEORY A: Bungie are taking over, they want to have the ARG done right.
THEORY B: Get the "OMG HALO" talk up again pre-H3 release.
THEORY C: Iris isn't over, it never was...

Then B = true.

But what story? Iris is pure randomness, nothing will change that. Flood Containment Control? Castaway Theory?
Iris meant nothing. Just an attempt to get us all interested.
They succeeded.

its not dead yet there still maybe some story left, what needs to be done is we need to go back to the beginning where someone quoted that AR may be triggered by certain events, whats happened to his bungie.net account?

the fact I didn't know it was leaked should mean it's safe to browse the 'net, just maybe make your xbox-related forum visits less frequent.

I watched it because I got bored.

It has abysmal quality sound and low quality video. And I'm still not sure quite what's happening in it. It's actually not much of a spoiler and it's not the Heroic or Legendary ending, either.
