Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. That hope is three little numbers: 1 - 1 - 7.
There is hope in us all. We gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face. We must do the thing which we think we cannot do; stand with the Master Chief and Finish this Fight!
After what I could say was years of speculation, pondering and analyzing, Bungie have finally announced that they are indeed of development of their next project, Halo 3. This might come as a suprise to those who do not follow Bungie or know what they are up to next, but even so they do have the tendancy to suprise whenever possible.
This trailer is no different.
It does not answer any question besides "Is Halo 3 in development?", other than that it opens more questions than it answers.
First up the return of the Assult Rifle, now to those who are familliar of Halo 1 system link-up days we all loved the AR, it was a great gun complemented by my personal favourite the pistol (which most people thought it to be a little bit powerfull then ti should of been). In Halo 2 we saw the downgrade of the pistol and the somewhat upgrade of the AR to the Battle Rilfle, will the same thing happen to Halo 3 only the reverse? Well my fellow Spartans that is indeed up for debate.
Second is the plot twisting Cortana/Gravemind relationship. There are going to be so many theories coming out there from now until the Halo 3 launch day that it will be hard to dertemine what is fiction to fact. Even if you did read all the books, played all the games, there is no specific pattern that Bungie is following to determine Cortana's fate. Could be a Cortana evil clone? Or has Gravemind actually bypassed all of Cortana's primary protocols (one of the is the protection of Earth) to ally herself with Gravemind, to forget about the Master Chief and disregard all that they have fought for? I like to think that Cortana will put up more of a fight before giving up Earth.
Third is the grand scale of things. The map in the trailed is huge and something that will obviously take part in Halo 3. Huge Multiplayer maps that will support 50 Vs 50 wars.
Finally the Master Chief. Alas for a true hero to be a true hero the hero must die for what he is fighting for. The last of the Spartans will fall after fighting most of the war on his own, but it was always a losing battle. The Covenant have conquered Earth and the Flood are right behind him. There is always a way that gave the advantage to John, he always found a way to win. But now without Cortana, options are running out fast, he has to save Earth or all of his Spartans will have died a death that has no meaning, and the Master Chief will never allow that to happen.
So whatever happens, no matter what Bungie come up with, we are all looking at the end of one tremendously written story, one that will be sad to see end, but the ending will be just as grand as when the story begun. A story of a lone soldier and his friend to save the Earth and ulimetly the galaxy from destruction. Go get'em Master Chief, you made us all proud.
