  • 06.27.2009 12:42 PM PDT

Pretty much that whole scene from 40-50 looks halo-ish. There's Sgt.Johnson, and a load of ODSTs. MC obvioudly forgot his armour because of a certain new phone contract...

So go to 0:48/0:49 and pause it to see what looks almost identical to the Halo CE HUD

Bungie if they didn't ask permission to use it then sue their backsides off, get some money and maybe slip me a lil something on the side :P (I kid)

That's actually pretty cool. I wonder if Bungie was involved.

My bad for being epicly lazy but yeah so i'm not the only person who thinks that that its quite Halo-esque

Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

That was a pretty sweet phone commercial. Nice find!

Cool, I really hope Bungie says something about this though. Maybe they were involved.

noticed this a few days ago, glad i'm not the only one thinking the same thing :P

This is an absolutely great find. Way to go.

Actually, this might be relevant to Halo: REACH. Not likely, but it's possible, hence the Marines.

Or perhaps a Halo movie.

Actually, never mind. I took a look at the "Making Of" video, and the helmets and other equipment aren't right.

Yeah not so much ODST in the Making Of feature, but is it me, or are those helmets the same ones the Alliance soldiers used in Serenity? The same kind of half-visor...

i said "almost" because i didn't want to feed the trolls and allow them to say "OMG N0 1TS N0T EGGSACTLEE DA SAYM3!" :P

"so let us cast our arms aside and thus discard our wrath,
Thou in faith, shall keep us safe whilst we find the path"

I noticed this first time i saw it and having seen it again dived on here to see what the community made of it that is definately halo design if only the HUD design
I think that bungie

1) Would not allow anyone to use their coveted artwork/designs without their knowing

2) Therefore must be involved with this

3) Knowing how excited their fans get about anything bungie or halo woud not create this without good reason

4) Must be collaborating to make a mobile game otherwise virgin wouldnt be able to use it an ad

VERY EXCITING

Every time you say something is old your dick shrinks.

some people like dont spend there time on conputers mutch and dont know how to do that stuff it kinda shows that you cant just copy and paste it at the top of the serch bar it doesnt matter

  • 07.06.2009 6:11 PM PDT

Wait, what?

he! I always catch the tail end of that advert when its on. Odd though, the one I've seen seems different. They've dropped the radar/motion tracker and moved the grenade, health and shield indicators to the bottom of the shot.

This is the one I'm seeing

I doubt its indicative that Bungie, Microsoft, and Virgin media is working on something Halo related. Probably just one of the special effects guys is a halo fan, liked what he saw in the ad, and sneaked it in.
