Was refering to what I first saw when I came on this morning... If it makes you feel better I'll play the internet forum police and list everyname of every person that has mentioned multiplayer since the thread was officially changed to SP/Campaign only. Oh and do you have anything else you would like to cry about today?

The portal takes you to the Ark. The Ark is located outside of the Halo's blast radius. Thus if you are on the Ark and activate the rings from the Ark you are safe from its blast. The Ark can also be viewed side by side with the Ark from the Bible if you want... it is a safe place away from the Flood and the blast of the rings.
Edit: What Stinkles said too.

Probably not. If you haven't played the early games you might be a bit lost. Read the game manual though to get a review of what you have missed.

Master Chief is an evolved form of human. He's been bio-engineered into something else and apparently that makes him a Reclaimer - Forerunner. Out of all the races that the Forerunners tried to save, we were apparently one of the last they discovered and apparently they thought very highly of us. I wonder if they planted the seeds in our DNA for us to eventually develop into Forerunners
I wonder if groups within Oni/UNSC or Doctor Halsley are aware of more than they are letting on. Were Spartans possibly enhanced based on Forerunner information that they may have uncovered?

After doing a bit of research I see it's more than likely not Onyx. If it was a dyson sphere it would be much larger. As for it being the remaining forerunner civilizations... possibly. It's outside of the reach of the Halo blast so it's possible. Would open up the door for some more explination as to what exactly happen, and how the whole process of the rings being built along with the Ark started.

There is that one scene in Halo3 with all the sentinels being sent off to perform some task; I'm going to assume they were being sent to work on the new instillation 04. It's interesting to see how automated the whole system really is and it makes you wonder how many forerunners really had to stay behind when the array was finally fired. I'm sure there were a few living scouts that were stranded like described in the terminals but if the array could be fired from the Ark than I would think that a great deal of Forerunners survived. They weren't being selfish either as they tried to save most of the sentient life they could find on The Ark.
If you are still confused by the story in Halo, it really is a retelling of Noah's Ark from the old testament. Flood enter Milky Way galaxy and begin to infest, Forerunners build an Ark and try to save Sentient life, Forerunners use Array to kill everything else in the galaxy. Ok, that last part doesn't really match up with anything in Noah's Ark.

Only a Reclaimer or a Redeemer can activate Forerunner technology. Like I said, the forerunners seemed to put a great deal of stock in us. Forerunners do not equal humans but I do think they altered are DNA and instructed their machines to recognize our commands. None of the Covenant species have this ability even though the Forerunners saved them from the original array blast as well.

The covenant can't activate the rings. Only those who are forerunner can, and humans are. Thus why Johnson makes the comment "cant start your own party", cause the prophet needs a human to activate the rings.
Now I'm not sure if it's officially true that humans ARE forerunner or they were just choosen by the forerunner. From what I understand humans are forerunner.

I'll go with CHOSEN, but in the game if I remember correctly 343 does call someone else reclaimer besides John. One of the final lines he does say to John also before he goes nuts is "You are forerunner."

Story stuff:
I wasn't expecting Bungie to answer all the questions raised, but it felt like virtually none had been answered in the end.
What is the link between Forerunners & Humans? Why are humans needed to operate the Halos?
Why are there no surviving Forerunners on the Ark?
What's the point of the Ark & the Halos being landscaped?
Do the other 5 halos contain Flood specimens, ready for some meddlers to release?
What exactly was Truth's motivation? Did he really believe in the Great Journey, or did he just want to use the Halos to kill everyone outside his own followers?
Good game though.

- No one really knows exactly, but the Forerunners "Chose" the Humans for some specific reason. But no one really knows what exactly constitutes a Reclaimer. We are needed to fire the Halos because the Forerunners gave us that responsibility.
-No one know why there are no surviving Forerunners on the Ark
-Landscaped Halos? Possibly to replicate Forerunner homeworlds so that the Forerunners that lived on the Rings to study the Flood would feel at home. Maybe to see how The Flood reacts in different environments.
-The other rings probably contain more flood.
- I guess no one really knows. I believe he was true in following the Great Journey as a Religious obligation.

humans are pretty much
, or very close descendants of them. i thought that much was clear at the end of Halo 2 when the Covenant was surprised that humans on Earth. i think the whole thing was supposed to be like the Covenant worshiped the forerunners who were basically humans, the race they also hated. IRONIC HUH.

but due to the Terminals, we find out that the Forerunners basically stumbled upon Earth very late in the Indexing process that the Librarian was in charge of. The found us, deemed us worthy and built a last-minute portal (in africa) to the Ark. And sent ALL OF US to the Ark before the rings fired.

I doubt that it has anything to do with being an Xbot per se. Maybe he's going into Internet Hermit mode because of some real-life personal relationship issues? Wife/GF threatening to leave if he doesn't quit spending all that time on games or boards? Maybe he's found someone he likes and wants to shed his "reputation" as a nerd/geek? Perhaps his doctor told him that he needs to exercise more. Who knows. I just doubt it's GAF related.
