So it seems to me that, since you see the Arbiter fighting alongside the Master Chief, then that would make the second player play as the Arbiter. That's so shibby! I'm more than certain that online co-op will be available too!

Also, you notice Cortana is hysterical. My guess is that after talking with Gravemind, she has come to the conclusion that the Flood cannot be stopped, and that the only solution is to activate the rings. But that's just my theory.

Also, you notice that Master Cheif is still shooting at Grunts and stuff. Many of you guys think that all the former Covenant troops have been swapped in for the Brutes, but that isn't what happened. The Hierarchs chose the Brutes over the Elites. Their honor scarred, The Elites broke off from the Covenant. Now they fight against the Covenant. The Hunters have sided with the Elites because of some incidents in the Taming of the Hunter, where-in the Elites were able to subdue the Hunters. This has cause the Hunters to regard the Elites with the utmost respect and admiration. As for the Grunties, Buggers, and Jacks, some sided with the Elites, some still remain loyal to the Covenant. That is why you can see the Master Chief fighting Grunties in the latest trailer, and you see a group of Grunties being led by a Brutes in the other ViDoc. Besides, shooting at nothing but Brutes all throughout the campaign would get boring, wouldn't you agree?

Spartans Never Die

WOW! ZOMG! both of these vids rock but u aint seen em until you seen em in HD!
hey did anyone else notice the prophet at 1:15 on the left of the screen, this is the only reference to the inclusion of the prophets in halo 3 (unless that voice at the start was some new one, coz it wasnt gravemind or Truth) maybe Prophet of Justice? (dunno sounded cool though)
and how cool is it when Miranda pumps the shotgun one handed and then spins to face one brute with the pistol and the other two with the shotty
i also reckon that cortanas face is somewhat different to Halo 2 and Miranda has undergone visible changes aswell
the brute blood seems to have gone back to red instead of the blueish purple from the brute vidoc
drones lifting marines is awesome, it would be awesome if they flew like high as, and you shot em and the marine comes plumeting down like a stone *SPLAT* (hahahaha marines rule)

Time to go back into the cryogenic chamber to be awaken for the release of Halo 3. Thanks for giving me a reason to be taken out of my chamber. Awesome trailer and awesome video. I hope this guy makes a Halo movie, I will pee myself if he does.

Killing Calmness til I Die

I was gonna go out and buy this Halo 3 xbox until I found out it only had a 20 Gb HD. I already have a Xbox with a 20Gig hard drive. If I am going to purchase another 360 its going to have a 120 HD with it. See what you can do Bungie to fix this issue as I am sure alot of people feel the same as me.

  • 07.11.2007 7:19 AM PDT

Don't feed the monkey!!!!

WOW, It looks absolutely amazing. I can't wait to play it. I just hope the gameplay is as good, if not better than Halo CE. I just wish there was more footage from first person. This needs to put up on marketplace quickly.

ZOMG THESE GRAPHICS ARE OFF THE HOOK!!!

Those cut scenes look so real and the dynamic graphics are just f-ing amazing! Thank goodness I have a plasma computer or I would have never gotten the full taste of HD juiciness *salivates*.

Anyone take a look at the grunts in the screenshot? They actually look angry with those red eyes *shiver*.

Yea. and did u see the new worthog with extra pasenger seets in the back. and the thing with the grunts. they have red eyes now so i dont think the grunts are willingly on th covonint side. couse in halo 2 the profits said that the arbitor ceased the (grunt rebelion) and in the end of the game the grunts were on the arbitors side. am i wrong??

Cortana could also be dying. Since shes a smart A.I. she has a life span of so many years.

Hmm... So I see we'll be playing on another halo construct. That scene with Master Chief in the pelican shows an upward horizon.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told you so.

Edit - Translation: Darn the internet traffic, and my timezone. I had a performance earlier, so this is my first view - of a cool pic and a loading screen. Everything looks great, though! Keep up the good work - and don't hesitate to add new goodies in. We're all waiting - but not for Godot.

Graphics? Gameplay first. Just remember, folks, that Halo 3 is still a work in progress.

I'm speechless. I look forward to the Halo 3 campaign so much, even more than the multiplayer. And I almost thought that the digital short was a trailer for the Halo 3 movie.

Oh YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glorious video!!! It's about time that something that juicy was released! Now I can have countless days of watching such amazing stuff and freak out every time I watch. It's fun to watch it the second time and point out some minor details, like:

Cortana dying
Chief sticking a pistol up the arbitors chin
The arbitor
343 guilty spark
Chief and unknown coop player killing a scarab
and so on...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? You if you think those graphics weren't good, then you must be setting standards for games that can't be achieved, some parts of the trailer were a little bit scratchy, but the game isn't finished yet. For the most part though they were amazing, I would see something and be like "OMG that looks cool"

Bungie, you guys are the greatest. Halo 3 is gonna be epic.

  • 07.11.2007 9:32 AM PDT

I just want to put MY thoughts out there. I'm a total Halo freak so... just to get that out first. As far as the Trailer goes- I wasn't that impressed. SORRY. I know that may be terrible to say and frankly- this is the ONLY place I'm saying it, mainly because I want BUNGIE to hear it. The still graphics that are now up everywhere look AWESOME- but the video they put up on Marketplace is just... 'eh'. It's been edited to be so FAST and so BAM, BAM, BAM that everything looks jumpy, rough and overly contrasted. When you pause it- the shots look fine (except the contrast)- but when you play it... it just seems so compressed! I mean... a two minute video with good sound that was compressed to 103 megs?!?! Come on- where's a HD version that plays a bit more smooth?

I'm not into flame wars- I hate those- but I just thought the video for the most anticipated game... EVER, would be a bit easier on the eyes. And again- I'm not talking about the graphics- but I've never thought that Bungie's animation was an issue- until I saw this trailer. It just seems so ROUGH and jumpy. Halo has never been about Unreal Tournament or anything- it's slower, more thoughtful and frantic in it's intensity; not in it's display And just for the record- I'm watching the trailer on a 37" HDTV with a 360 Elite plugged in through the HDMI. In other words- it's NOT my TV.

The other stuff, like the screens and stuff (of the jungle) were just THE BEST. I really HOPE the final game is that smooth. Some images from the video were smooth while others seemed to have a lot of jaggies. After playing a LOT of Forza- I'm not as much of a Jaggie whore as I used to be... but I'd still like it to be the best it could ever be!

Okay...about the inside or the master chiefs helmet...first if u think this is an amazing idea, that will make gameplay with the MC more apart of you, give me a hell yeaaa!!! okay...bungie. we need this feature, i know i have said this before, but i was snooping around....the MC inside helmet view needs to be more like metroid prime corruption....i was looking at that, and back at the MC view bungiw came up with, and i said thats what MC inside view needs to look more like, so bungie, hear me out, alot of people would use and love this feature
love

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

I'm afraid, very afraid. The grunts look like satan now. I really hope they keep their comical voices or else i will have to look elsewhere for comic reliefe in halo (brutes I'm looking at you, if those grunts still don't sound funny you had better give me some donky kong style barrel rolls).
