Poor Mr. Chief ;( He sacrificed himself for good knowledge. Besides its probably the way he would have wanted to go.

I think what Bungie meant was that Sierra is in the Phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta etc.). S is Sierra in that so it gives the word S-177 (Most probaby Spartan 117)

Maybe I'm the only person who noticed this, but there is a fourth grenade in certain parts of the movie, along with a new equipment thing. Anyone got any idea's on what the grenade might be?

The grenade was only a Power-Up. There are only 3 g-nades: Plasma, Brute, and Frag.

Noooooooooooooooooo! The beautiful Marty music seems to be playing to a different tune now. Before it was good old posterior kicking music, where you knew you were going to lay down the law. Now it sounds more like the Master Chief is going to get his posterior kicked in. Really nice videos though, team Lehto has done a nice job. I was really impressed with the instance where the camera looks up through the trees and the leafs edges are slightly blurred out due to the intense lighting levels.

Anyone also notice that Bungie seems to be employing DOA effects on Cortana. Her bust appears to bounce slightly. Guess that Japanese games rubbed off on them. Well at least it looks like stacker is back.

It’s somewhat disturbing that a single drone can pick up a human. On the other hand Brutes can now strip. Ha ha ha

I’m likely going to get owned the first time I come across that water fall we saw at the beginning of the video. I’ll just stop stare and take it like a man. The ripples across the water looked great as well, you could see the brightness vary across the rippling surface. From what I’ve seen so far, it’s pretty easy to expect Halo 3 to have the best water and particle effects to date. It all seems to mesh nicely into the tone of the other Halo games. They really tried hard to stay visually true to the series so far.

The only thing that has me worried is the music. Why Marty why must you make it sound like the Master Chief is going to die. I don’t know much about music, but perhaps some more cowbell would make things seem less bleak. That or bring in the Kitchen orchestra. I can see it now , “Turn it up man, I just love them spoons!”

Clouds from heaven is what I’m thinking. The blueness in the sky varies with the horizonal position as it does in nature. This is just terrific, I’ve not seen any game with that attention to detail. Bungie really did their homework on this one. I wonder if this will cause other studios to have to pull up their standards, or will we begin to see a deviation between standards in differing game studios.

Look out it sounds like the Scots are comming. Boom head shot.

Yabba dabba do team Lehto’s got the moves.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

sic Sic (=thus, so), invariably bracketed and usually set in italics, is used to indicate that a preceding word or phrase in a quoted passage is reproduced as it appeared in the original passage. Sic at its best is intended to aid readers who might be confused about whether the quoter or the quoted writer is responsible for the spelling or grammatical anomaly.

You should therefore position [sic] straight after the error to which it refers: if a misspelling, after the word concerned; otherwise after the phrase.

Very nice update. :)
I still can't get over the fact that the new Halo-themed Xbox 360 is only going to have a 20GB hard drive. :( I REALLY wanted one, too, but I'm not dropping the cash on anything less than an Elite with the 120GB drive. I still have my launch 360, and am going to upgrade to the Elite for the HDMi hookup and move the old one into the bedroom. The Halo360 is beautiful - too bad. :(

Good update, tho. :)

I think its odd that in Halo: First Strike, the Battle Rifle was a new weapon, but in the Halo Wars trailer and on the cover of Contact Harvest, BR's are used before they were even made. True enough that they could be old versions of the weapon. I am not complaining in either instance, simply questioning. I know Contact Harvest is going to be sweet.
