Unfortunately, the theme we are using has been customized and changed extensively, so it’s not something that’s available for download anywhere.

Great article however…
i think there is one problem with it:

you said that the space tether was knocked down by the slip-space incident, however in halo 3 a marine clearly says that it fell when the city was glassed.

“Mombassa Space Elevator.”

“It collapsed when the city got glassed.”

“But the tether was thousands of kilometers high!”

“Yeah. Well, now, it’s scattered all over the Savannah.”

“Holy crap.” [Tsavo Highway, Halo 3]

I thought it would be interesting to point out that the game could potentially be about the other Spartan II soldiers (other than Master Chief).

We know that after the events in Halo 1/First Strike, they returned to Earth with Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson.

Also, we know they ran a series of operations on Earth cleaning up Covenant on the ground before being sent to Onyx.

Additionally know that Spartans can use HEV drop pods (seen in Halo 2, when Master Chief uses one to drop onto the Halo Installation)

Just want to add something about Tanaga It was referred to as a district, but I did a simple google search when i went through the trailer myself.

“The shot is now revealed to be *Tanaga*.0086 at 16:11 PM”

The Tanaga is a type of short Filipino poem, consisting of four lines with seven syllables each with the same rhyme at the end of each line — that is to say a 7-7-7-7 Syllabic vers,.with an AAAA rhyme scheme. (thanks to wikipedia)

And, yet another example of bungie using something with a seven in it.

Wow, this analysis is amazing. A couple of things don’t quite add up, but overall it is incredibly insightful. Thanks!

Once again Bungie shows confidence in the intelligence and attentiveness of its fans, and once again you magnificent bastards step up to the plate and singlehandedly validate that confidence.

Ascendent Justice has my thanks for being the first place I send my highbrow friends when they ask me why I like “that dumb mainstream shooter.” Bravo to you, gentlemen!

It is painfully clear that the single ODST tube crashes into the camera lens. Take that into consideration and the fact that people think it is “before” the slipspace jump incident. There is no cracked lens at that same camera angle earlier in the trailer.

So the theory that the “last drop tube is before all the others” I would say is successfully debunked.
