Halo 3 is not running on a updated version of the Halo 2 engine and i know this for two reasons. The first is just look at the trailer and the screenshots. There is no way to upgrade the engine enough without completely deleting and rewritting the code which in turn would not be updated, but a completely different engine. The second reason is that Bungie also said in one of the FAQ's that this is a new engine. No, source would not be as good as this engine, the source engine is now almost 3 years old. This engine is brand new and so far it has been amazing. Havok is, as someone already said, only a physics engine. This time around, I am hoping Bungie will do their own physics or call of a different physics engince because Havok isnt very good anymore unless they nake some major revisioins to their coding. This is a magnificant teaser, and a real trailer is probably in the works with many pictures and other things on the way. Bungie would never let their fans down and even they themselves have given their approval calling this a great final installment and something the fans would want.
