There is only one problem I can come across, and that is the problem of the other "Hyper-Lethal" Spartan. Again, it could be John-117 in both roles, making both Spartans "Hyper-Lethal", but that seems pushing it.


It at least has some plausibility.

And I would counter with the idea that that's just Bungie's way of appeasing the ever growing group of female gamers.

It cannot be the MC and Noble Six the same person, pay attention of what Dr. Halsey says, she is talking about Noble Six as hyper lethal and it's funny cause there is anotherSpartan with the same rate. She is talking of 2 separate persons, Noble Six who resembles to the Master Chief, not that he is the same person.

Learn to listen people!

I am listening. There are many possibilities behind this, the three that I see are my theory, possibly it's not the Master Chief that they are talking about being "Hyper-Lethal", or perhaps it is and everyone is clueless.

I said brown.

I am getting properly excited for this game, but like a few others, the dialogue in this Vidoc seemed... way over the top.
Did anyone else get the same feeling that is was like putting new words into the Lord of the Rings opening?

  • 08.17.2010 6:31 PM PDT

What's up? I'm Anthony, from Maryland. I play a lot of video games, too many. Enjoying the Halo Reach Beat right now. Also Halo was kind of my life from the age of 11-14.

Dr F***ing Halsey! Every new piece that comes out makes me want this game even more. Oh and Noble Six isn't MC, come on. Listen to what Dr.Halsey says, "only one other spartan has that classification."

Can some one catch me up to speed, i just started reading Reach again for the second time but in the first chapter it describes Halsey as long dark hair but the vidoc shows her with blonde as do some of the videos out there? Secondly if i remember right, she created/programmed Cortana based on herself and personality which made me think she was talking to Cortana because i thought they shared the same voice? Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, it's been quite awhile and this is based on memory?

Thanks

Awesome Vidoc, gave me goosebumps!

ok ChrisLeeJames even if leting you change noble sixes gender is a way to make girl gamers happy still it cant be MC if you can make noble six a girl!

Noble 6 is not MC. However, they talk of a 'final hope' for humanity that has to be protected by someone- at the end they make their choice. Anyone ever think MC is the final hope, and at the end YOUR job as Noble 6 will be to safely see him off or keep him alive somehow? Maybe you have to protect the Pillar? I haven't read the books but this would definitely fit what's in the trailer and appeal to the fans who love MC and want him involved in the game...

Dr. Hadley created Cortana by sending an electromagnetic pulse through a carefully cloned version of her brain. So yes they share a similar voice, though not the same. And yes, Hasley is described as having longer dark hair but this begs the issue "Is Eric Nylund's book canon in Bungies eyes?"

For those of you still on the MC thing, N6 was enlisted as a guy as far as Halo's story is concerned, the ability to make him a girl in the campaign is sheerly player choice and does not therefore affect the status of N6 possibly or possibly not being the MC.

  • 08.17.2010 7:26 PM PDT

For example:
you have to organize the human-tower of spartans that MC climbs on to get out of the gravitational pull of reach

and then the last guy throws MC up with escape velocity

and everyone else falls back down

  • 08.17.2010 7:29 PM PDT

unless at the end of halo 3 he goes through a wormhole that takes him to after the fall of reach

and thats when they "wake him cause they need him"

thats deep man

stable time loop too

I was a little confused with halsey due to that halo legends episode where she still looks young but is like 50 in this one. Are the halo legend episodes canon?

i thought the same thing but she is older in the Halo legends film its just the type of anime that makes her look young she still had some grey in her hair.

Now this is the stuff I'm talking about.

Someone, somewhere, I wish I remembered where... had posted a small concept drawing of a woman with gray hair and an angled bob haircut like Cortana. I thought it may just be a random civilian but when I clicked to save it, it was titled Halsey.

I was like "Crap... a spoiler" but I obviously had no idea how legit it was. So I wasn't surprised to see her at the end of the trailer, other than you guys were willing to actually show that.

I noticed "Cortana's" voice sounded different but it didn't click with me that it might be Halsey talking that whole time. I guess I pictured her not sharing Cortana's voice as well, but it is cool all the same.

Love that screen shot of Kat's face. Make it a Gamer Picture pack I can buy in the Xbox Marketplace, please please PLEASE! I will love you forever more than I already do. :D

  • 08.17.2010 8:46 PM PDT

ok maybe im the only one who's thinking this but does the ending not seem like halsey was talking to an AI? obviously not cortana, but the question is, if this is the case, who? could we be getting another helping of AI smack talking goodness in the back of our heads?

"Is Eric Nylund's book canon in Bungies eyes?"


Bungie hasn't screwed with the canon thus far. And the community Halopedia does consider the books to be canon. And there are very slight differences in the books (The Fall of Reach, The Flood) to how the game plays out. Even the timelines get a bit skewed when talking about the games (Halo 3 ODST End clip with Sgt Johnson states it was a month later even though the events that took place between Halo 2 and Halo 3 was in fact just a few days.)

I think Bungie respects the established canon, and may bend it a bit here or there if needed, but they wouldn't outright break it.

  • 08.17.2010 9:02 PM PDT

This is a wild theory but I believe the person Halsey is talking to is Kurt Ambrose. After all Bungie has Kurt's name HERE.

Also is it just me or does the person on the holo screen at 2:30 look a lot like Captain Keyes??

A RARE(I do think so) Bungie & Halo fan that have Hong Kong ID card. I hope HALO & BUNGIE will be more popular in Hong Kong.
