In the video, it says EMP Trip Detected, an EMP is an ElectroMagnetic Pulse, it destroys all electronic equipment within its range. Ouch?

The gene pool could use a little chlorine.
We have enough youth, how about a fountain of SMART?
Waitress! A nice, tall glass of bleach for this man!

Yea. Let's start tearing this mother up!

-There is a building labelled traxus in the beginning.
-The camera angles are labelled
-Tanaga
-Lumumba
-Mbaraki
-Error (also flashes Sidiriyai and Makadara)
-Sign says "evacuate city of New Mombasa"

The rest is pretty self-explanatory.

And something tells me that final pod drop is the most important. Could it be that dreamy Master Chief?

And I'm imagining the EMP is what the big flash at :25 is.

ok guys, i know some of you are a little dissatisfied of bungie atm, and feel that your time has been wasted, but you still have to trust them, more still could happen. and what with halo 3's aniversiry coming up.
keep trusting bungie, they'll pull through

Subject: what the furk

Traxus is the name of a Marathon Wiki. I never played Marathon, anyone know the significance?

EDIT - Found more info

Scattered throughout many levels on Halo 3, there are large freight crates, similar to the ones in Halo 2. The company logo is shown on the side of the crate - "TRAXUS". TRAXUS was an Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Marathon, one of Bungie's Earlier games.

The Superintendent is in New Mombasa, on his green screen the bottom left box has a New Mombasa logo.

OK, it's Halo 3 so it's obviously an expansion.

We think it might be squad based because of the references by Captain DARE.

Looks like ODST drop pods to me, and there is the "prepare to drop" reference.

Mbaraki is Mombasa, so the cameras are showing views of New Mombasa.

The space elevator is intact.

There is a huge explosion with an EMP pulse.

I think we are viewing the moment in Halo 2 where Truth engages his slipspace drive in the middle of New Mombasa, destroying the city.

Could the expansion pack be the squad based game we've been hearing about, based on ODST troops, telling the story of Halo 3 from a different viewpoint, starting with the destruction of New Mombasa?

  • 09.25.2008 7:25 AM PDT

Wow...

This is amazing.

Did you see the graphical advance from Halo 3? Beautiful!!!

Very possible, this is one of the most likely scenarios... You can see the nose of a Covenent ship right next to the space elevator emerging from behind one of the buildings

  • 09.25.2008 7:27 AM PDT

Another of those read lines reads:

"Maddie, where are you?"

or

"Where are you, Maddie?"


I can't get it stopped at the right moment again but its one of those two. Any characters with that name that anyone can think of?

  • 09.25.2008 7:28 AM PDT

at about 12 seconds you can see a covenant cruizer in the background, above the amd building.
