Marty O'Donnell better be on for the soundtrack, that's all I've got to say.

He is the sound of Halo.

What is the writing you are talking about?

  • 10.06.2005 4:54 PM PDT

IEatFlood. Don't worry. Marty will do the soundtrack...or we will all SCREAM for him...Bungie knows this. It would be no different than giving MC pink armor in the movie.
No offense Dounut. ;)

Speaking of the movie. What you you think they are going to add? I mean, the game has some great plot points...but mostly it's about shooting. Can't do that in a movie!

So what do they do? The script is DONE...so we can only guess. But it's still fun. :)

Lets see, I think there will be more of a "Back and forth" between MC and Cortana. More with Sarge and the Marines. And MAYBE a little with the Covenant side...after all... going to need to set up the Elite that becomes the Arbiter. Right?

And we all read about WHY they picked Alex Garland. Because he would do a great job with the Flood!
Hmm..the Flood? Now how is THAT going to fit in the movie? Ok, you have this GREAT Sci-Fi story...a conflict between man and alien...then you are going to add THE FLOOD! In the MIDDLE of the movie??

Worked in the game..just when I was getting bored...then BAM! WOW!

But HOW are they going to make it work in the movie... and be GOOD?

Don't get me wrong! I think that they will DO IT! And do it GREAT!
I just wonder how that will play out. ;)

This is awesome! Halo..Peter Jackson..wow wow wow...or like Tucker would say..Bow Chicka Bow Wow! I am a bit confused though. Will the movie have only the first halo or will it be in parts of Halo 1, 2?

OH MY GOD....I can't believe this is happening! PETER FLIPPIN JACKSON! That is awesome. I would be suprised if the movie wasn't a major success now. I am still in aw. The only thing I'm worried about is the movie having little dwarfs running around as grunts, and anirexis as jackals lol. (mind the bad spelling, I'm in the public school system of Philadelphia) Horrible place. Anyway, back on subject, I hope atleast SOME of the models are done in CG. IM REALLY PUMPED ABOUT THIS MOVIE AND I CAN'T WAIT TILL' IT COMES OUT!!!!!! PEACE


um, I punched my xbox cause i kept laggin out so, theres no point of given you my gamertag.

all I have to say is if they coordinate the Halo battle scenes anything like LOTR battle scenes the movie wil rule. If they start to leave big huge pieces of the game out of the movie they I am going to be really mad. they do the same thing when they make books into movies............I think that what is really going to test them is if they show the ammo and trais that some guns leave like the snipers rifles, like if the are actually go to have a trail through the air like the do in the game....... Its also gonna be rough to make all the wounds in the movie, that gonna be alot of work for make up artist if they are gonna show all off the plasma burns the way they actually look..

...gawd i love being a gamer right now...

Dear god... OMFG... Holy ish-monkeys!!!! This is like, frikin awesome. do you guys realize that this erases any posiblility that the Halo movie will be anything but %1000 ROCKAGE!!! If ANYONE can translate distinct atmosphere and spirit from one form of media to another it has got to be Peter Jackson. Dude. The future of games, especially for the Xbox crowd is looking simply GLORIOUS!!! Not only do we have things like Halo3 and the Halo movie to look foreward to, but the beauty and freedom of Oblivion, The Banjo-Kazooie-on-steriods-ness of Kameo, the PerfectDark-Goldeneye-on-'roids-ness of PerfectDarkZero, plus Doom3 and Gears of War and 99Nights and all this other stuff, Dudes, this is gonna be awesome. I know i got off the Halo topic a bit but one glorious sparkle on the horizion leads to the another and i'm just SOOO FRIKKIN STOKED!!!! Dear lord man, this is frikin awesom.

Good news, yes....but, I do believe the story for Halo is FAAAAAAAR better in the books. It's also more realistic. I mean come on think about it one man or a team. I wish I could tell bungie to make the halo movie based on the books but, I doubt the would. It would be soo much better tho.

javascript:{if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) != 'function' || Page_ClientValidate()) __doPostBack('postForm$skin$submitButton','') }asked the question if it would b all shooting, maybe they will do the thing they did with Doom the movie.

Someone asked what I mean about the writing on the outside of Halo...

Lord of the Rings, the ring had writing of the outside "and one ring to bind them"
Halo, Ringworld...

coincidence?

Obviously Master Chier is going to be running around new zealand killing hobbit/grunts while avoiding covenent dragons with his elf Cortana.

who does every think masterchief will be played by? i read in an unofficial xbox 360 mag that the rumor is some like vin diesel or the rock. personally i think these choices would suck so badly i think masterchief is black and should be played by like micheal clark ducan or one of the basketball players from the longest yard send me a message bk telling me who you think it is i would'nt mind a little in-site to who ever 1 thinks is best fit for halo's main role and if any one has any rumors about halo 3 could you inform me please it would be most help full. rumors kick so much ass!!! I've heard that there is ment to be some kind of map editor for custom games -blam!- guys how bad ass would that be have like a big circular pit with turrets all round first manto the turret dominises lol. I also heard that microsoft were gonna let a lil teaser trailer to be viewed at the X05 this yr but some -blam!- up magizine told there reader's or something so bungie stopped it but thats just a rumor i read yesterday either way send me rumors you guys have heard and bungie if you read this then tell me lil teaser's about the game.
