After watching this trailor I saw a few things. That Master Chief didn't seem very alarmed by the invasion. And he obviously saw the big ass ships above him before the banshees flew by. My idea is that the civil war between the covenent is still raging and elites are our allies. And these ships are the last elites helping destroy the rest of the covenent with this artifact (pretty sure its a weapon).

Remember when Cortana says "This is how the world ends"? Well, remember this too. She is a galaxy away with that flood monster thing. And from what I understand Master Chief is just getting transmissions from her. But then you must understand that if the game is really 'in the real world' then transmissions would take trillions of years to get to earth from ANOTHER galaxy. And the year is only around 2554 AD. Those are just some thoughts from the short teaser I saw.

One more thought... why does everything on earth take place in africa??


Feel free to repost to this and share your thoughts. Also I wouldnt mind adding you to my bungie group.

looking at the crater, is it possible that this crater was created when the ship jummed from the city in the beginning of halo2?

this would explain the street sign, as well as the rest of the junk the cheif walks through...

also, is there a city in the background?
(HRES version)

squared away objects that stand out behind the crater could be buildings???

"Flood Monster" = Grave Mind
"Big Ass Ships" = Seraphs

Thought that this would make it a little more clear...

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

I had another idea...some people said that it's another Spartan....and some people thought that it could be the Chief leading the Covenant and that's why he just stood there.

What if it's both? Another Spartan leading the Covenant?!?!?!?!?!?

I think it could be possible and it could be an awesome twist...you'd have to destroy another Spartan as a boss.

Before people could even start foaming at the mouth and overturning cars in excitement after Microsoft's press conference today, the first trailer of Halo 3 emerged on Bungie's website. And now you can see it for yourself.

You won't know this by watching, but the scene takes place in the African desert, about a third of the way through the game. The three-mile-wide structure that opens up is actually a weapon built by the Forerunners - the race that constructs the Halos. It's now poised to annihilate the Earth. Amidst this grisly image, Master Chief appears, as the voice of digital-vixen Cortana lays out this happy message:
"I define gods and devils. I am your shield. I am your sword. I know you - your past, your future. This is the way the world ends."

Halo 3 will finish the ongoing story that began in 2001 on the original Xbox. As it's dealing with the end of civilization, this game will pack more despair and darkness than the previous titles.

Um...how does "Big Ass Ship" equal "Seraphs"?

There's a HUGE difference between Seraph Fighters and Covenant Cruisers!

You know, for supposedly being 117 you dont have very much knowledge on Covenant Space Craft. Those "big ass ships" are Cruisers and other Types of the large WARSHIPS. Seraphs are the small, tear drop shaped fighter craft, the Covenant equivilent of the Longsword Interceptor.

those squareish structures on the horizon ( near that greenish light ) is new mombasa, if u look very close those two buildings are there with the bridge between them, of course that massive tower has been knocked down and that tower is not part of the ark, remember on the main menu it shows it coming out of a human building, and besides if the halo story is completly based on a non-fiction world ( earth ) then we would have found that huge tower by now if the halo story tries to stay real
