That's why they make sequels, because they have ideas left over.

Wow, Bungie. You guys really took this game above and beyond. How much of that diorama is real? it's friggin AMAZING. And I'm curious as to whether that piano music will be available to purchase on iTunes soon? it gave me some serious chills.

And I don't know what you guys are all freaking out about. There's no spoilers in that diorama. It's just a tribute to the Battle of New Mombasa that you started in Halo 2. Sure MC gets captured, but thats doesn't mean it's a really huge spoiler. We don't know how he got captured, or what happens after he gets captured. It's not the ending to the game, the Monument for Iwo Jima didn't signify the end of the war against Japan. It merely gave people hope. This monument is obviously a very pivotal battle for Humanity's survival.

In case no one else noticed, the interviews with the marines, and the time the monument was supposedly built, was long after MC was dead. I believe he was in his late 50's by the time Halo 2 happened, so then add another 60 years to that and he'll have gone. It doesn't mean he died in the battle just because they're "Remembering the Hero who brought us from the brink."

Anyway, Bungie you get some serious props from me and all my buddies. Thank you so much.

ZOMGz to be more precise. Sadly, though Halo 3 will be escaping from retail stores in about 9 days, those of us who preordered still have to wait for snailpost. Special edition :(.

Penultimate update, eh? The next one is going to be............

A agree fully with you. There is no reason why Bungie would put a spoiler on the Halo 3 site, let along spend the time to make the spoiler, or post a link of it in an update about Halo 3. Seriously, calm down it has nothing to do with spoilers.

About skipping school at Halo 3 launch day

I'm going to school because I plan on having a life...
Yeah, only nerds skip school. Oh wait...

Posted by: Frankie
Somebody asked me if Halo 3 had a built in brightness setting, like Bioshock. The short answer is yes, and it is found in the Settings menu, accessible at any time from the start menu. Subtitles can also be turned on from here at any time.
I take it we'll have to quit to the menu to turn them off? :/

if thats the battle of new mombosa then thats not the end of the game. it was said by bungie that the game would START on earth but not stay there. Also if you check halo.wikia.com its says the game is said to end on an unidentified halo ring. i just dont think that they would show us master chiefs fate 10 days before the game comes out. In the believe video the old man states that when the marines saw master cheif with the grenade, it gave them hope. I believe that the master cheif is up to something. Isnt it in one of the books that he intentially got himself caputerd to infiltrate a covenant ship.

I was just listening to my podcast's and i was right about the museum thing. On the "Xbox live's Major Nelson Radio" podcast about 1:40 minutes into it he starts talking about how the later in the Podcast he has an interview with the Director of Madame Tussaud's Wax museum in Las Vegas where they have a Master Chief Wax replica.

So when does the Warthog hit the market?

And 'Believe', and the movie for the making of the "museum" were both very, very awesome. I pretty much cried.

  • 09.15.2007 4:58 PM PDT

Pop, lock and drop it.

That would be cool if there was a museum now about the War for Humanity.

Vids were awesome. I'm hoping we can play that level in Halo 3.

Just a quick question for Bungie.

Could you put any more effort into impressing the community? Seriously, you guys deserve a huge pat on your backs for the time invested in not just the game, but the Halo universe as a whole. Well done Bungie team, well done.

  • 09.15.2007 11:32 PM PDT

Gladly helping Bungie take over the world!

i doubt the commercial is a spoiler, besides it says "believe" i take it as "believe chief can -blam!- this big ass ape up thats got him in a head lock"

Come Halo 3 I will be searching for the sniper that took out that brute in the museum and all the other marines with first-person accounts. Wouldn't it be awesome to see the museum events unfold in-game!?
Loved the whole Alamo-style model recreation: it really adds depth to the game in ways I couldn't have imagined. Nice actors too.

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

Awesome, I can't wait. 8 days WOOT. I guess it's about time for me to unplug my internet till the 25th. I want to be surprised.

Will we be seeing Lukeout and Tung Town on Bungie recommends?

This video about made me cry because it seems so real and because bungie put so much effort into this series and its finally coming to an end. Though i do have to say like the quote in the beginning said "we can laugh at this game falling with the smile that a better one is born".

Halo as a series touched some many people and in some cases broke the boundary between Gamer and Sport Freak bringing us together in one room to play campaign or kill each other in multiplayer.

The game also let many people choose a new avenue to take when thinking about a career like it did for me. After this series was shown to me and then playing the first one on the computer so i could mod it and make maps for it really opened up Game creation as a whole to almost anyone.

Its sad to think that this series is over finally knowing all it has done and all it will do come September 25th. Being open minded like i am i just know the next game they make will break new boundaries and set another higher standard for the future of gaming.

I hope everyone will live there life with this in mind:

"Always remember the 25th of September the day bungie knew is had won the soul of you while you were buying there game and giving them fame. Always remember the 25th of September when Halo would be done. We knew this day would come but never 6 years after it had begun. Always remember the 25th of September the game has gone gold now just wait 9 more days for the 25th of September as a day for all of us to remember"

I seriously hope that hasn't ruined the story plot for me, the bit about masterchief getting captured.. if thats a dramatic piece in game i'm gonna be like "oh well I was told this was going to happen.." :'(

I wants me a soundtrack :)

I highly doubt MC dies right here, would be a horrible ending. I want something more epic... not saying a huge feild with brutes, jackals, scorpion tanks blasting mofos everywhere and marines lying dead on the ground isnt epic, im just saying I cant see how MC would get captured by a brute unless intentionally doing it.

Plus didn't someone mention the last stage on another halo? I dunno, don't go by that because it was probably a hunch, or someone knows how to investigate a picture >_<
