yeah i agree with you,

i am fairly confident that if Bungie claims this to be a public event and yet does not allow the use of cameras, then that must mean that they some kind of plan to use that video, let be a vidoc or in there podcast or put on the xbox live market place, if not i hope it gets leaked ( lol just kidding). But for all those who are going have fun and plz tell us about it.

I wonder, after the IMAX preview, will there be any way to see that preview?

Love you Bungie!
Still playing Halo1 Custom Edition!

I hope they release but if it infact IS a part of the campaign, we can doubt they will want to release some of the plot that way to large scale.

I just realized a terrible thing that could occur post event.

I wake that bungie does not release a vidoc, people could spread ficticious info about the game claiming they went to Seattle. Oh the horror of trolls, I can almost read it,"when I went to seattle.....nukes..airstrikes....harpoons ..".

Here's hoping for that vidoc!

well they didnt say i couldnt post anything after going... but they didnt say i could. So i wont be that person to have bill gates and bungie knocking on my door. Lol! But i will say this... IT WAS AWSOME! Short, sweet... and the game looks amazing! Graphically, not only does it look good up close but it also looks good at a distance! You can literally see for miles.

Anyways! Ill leave the rest up to bungie to show, they did have cameras and camcorders. Cross your fingers!

edit: damn! I wanted to be the first to post about it lol

I just got back from the IMAX show. I didn't get there in time for the 10pm but they decided to do it all again at 11pm and it was worth the wait. Frankie and Luke started off w/ campaign on Tsavo Highway. The sound was horrible due to incompatibility issues but that was forgivable due to the pretty intese action on the screen. Forge was then previewed on High Ground and the flamethrower was previewed and it was used to incinerate the monitor for which a medal was acheived. Teleporters were placed, rockets moved around and Frankie blasted a pile of fusion cores that Luke set up with the laser. You can easily transform from the monitor and back instantaneously. Then..., the saved film feature was showed in detail on Sandtrap and this was absolutely incredible. They showed a 5 minute multiplayer game that only used 3MB and showed just how versatile it is. You can essentially get any angle from anyone's perspective or detach. Frankie showed some pretty excellent kills while pausing it at contact and moved the camera all around. Sandtrap reminds me of dune and the elephant supposedly has a nice horn which wasn't demonstrated.

Its true, it SHOULD be in Chicago, perhaps later screenings? I mean, Bungie can easily use the IMAX theater in Navy Pier, make it easily accessible to the public. But seriously, Bungie isn't stupid, they happened to make an exellent game and we wanna see it in Chicago. Hopefully they actually get to do that, clear up some of the confusion about the graphics and gameplay.

dont mess with the monkey"s or POO will be flung!

ok so i got this email, but i ended up being one of the unlucky people who live in seattle, ok about 30 miles away but couldnt go! so i will pass this on to you

!Hey there,

I'm writing from the Seattle P-I and I'm looking for someone to e-mail me a quick graf about why they're going tonight to the IMAX Halo 3 demo and what they expect, etc. etc.

It would be for the Big Blog (link below).

Are you going? Are you interested?

If so, please let me know! Again, just looking for a quick graf -- oh -- and it would have to include your name, age and the city where you live.

If you know someone else who's going, please pass this along!

Thanks!
