Maybe its asking too much of you guys... but you think you could update the Halo 2 E3 2004 level with the graphics and the engine of Halo 3, maybe script it and give us a feel of what itll be like??? That would rock.

I really hope they make it for the original Xbox to because my dad won't get me a 360 and plus the original Xbox is where it all started......it's stupid to make all the "originals" wait another year because their parents won't and/or can't buy the 360, and because it was formatted for the 360.

STILL KICK BUTT TRAILER GUYS!!!

BUNGIE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. WHAT'S THIS "SUPRISE AFTERWARDS

LOL i"m watching the trailer again.

Well, I am glad to see that you guys are working on Halo 3, however I'm disappointed in the fact that you set a date. Don't get locked into that, I personally don't care how long it takes to make Halo 3, just as long as it’s the best game it could possibly. Take all the time you need to perfect this game because anything less would be very disappointing.

Did you notice that Frankie referred to the Spartan in the trailer as"the Chief" and said that it's not Linda, or Kelly, but he didn't say it wasn't Fred? Did you notice that they brought up the different gloves in the Halo 3 FAQ? Fred's rank is Chief. Fred got special gloves. I think its Fred, guys.

I hate the fact that a full year is to be waited before Halo 3... Lets hope more updates come and we can nibble at the cake before actually taking our first big bite.

Who the hell cares? I had visual orgasms at the very sight of the Spartan! It was so beautiful... I started watch the trailer yesterday, and I still am. I think this makes my... 103rd time. Oh, and bungie, I've been hearing about a Halo movie. In my opinion, you guys should make it. All CG graphics with the actual voices... TOTAL PWNAGE! Keep up the good work, by the way.

Beautiful trailer...so many things that those theorists already guessed. I already felt like I knew what was going to happen to the plotline (and it turned out like I was right), but I still almost needed a new pair of pants after watching that (and letting it sink it to realise what it truly meant). Covenant occupation of Earth - I love it! The Covenant seemed too...feeble after Halo 2 (compared to Halo 1 and books and their hype). This means they are very real, and nothing, not even the Chief, can keep them at bay forever (or can he?...). Beautiful!

If a Bungie employee reads these posts, I just want to tell you this: Keep it up! Keep being geniuses. Disregard any visions that the fans give you and stick to your own genius vision. It will make for a much better game in the end.

I loved the trailer, I wish I could have been there in the theatre with 5.1 sound and two 50" plasmas, that would have been freakin AWESOME compared to my 15" CRT computer screen and little 3" stereo speakers!! Not to mention that the only version of the trailer I can watch is the low quality one, it still looked amazing....


I can tell you this, If you have 360, you can download the Trailer .....Not only is it in 5.1 surround (im using 6.1 with the 6th Channel Dynamically Enhanced for a rear center channel ) and let me tell you ...it almost feels like a 3D sound environment. I cannot wait for full 6.1 support. It's already out in the sound industry.

Oh yea, It's In High Definition and wow.....i know im trippin, but i think you can se somewhat of a Human mangled face through the visorof the chiefsHelmet. but its like i said, i could be trippin.

And, It's a FREE Download!

"Lots more coming soon kids."

You guys have gotta stop saying things like that. As you know a lot of us have been playing since the beginning of gaming and we're not kids anymore.

I AM ON 106 times now!!! MOOHAHAHAHA!! HOW DARE YOU SAY MASTER CHIEF CANNOT STOP THE COVENANT! Master chief is so kool he doesn't even need the chics. ps, that is not Fred, it is Master Chief, why would Cortana give a -blam!- about Fred? Think people!

poundin shields (and beers)

I am reaching midlife and this is getting tiring! That clip is how you announce Halo 3? I wish you would have just keep it secret until E307! That is when you will whisk press only into a room and let them play a little multiplayer because you don't want to let the story out and we will all still have to wait another 5 months to spend 60 bucks on the game. You know what would have been great? An Xbox Live arcade version of Halo 1 multiplayer - now that would be somethin!!! How hard could that be? Sorry for being cynical but Bill blew your cover a long time ago. You may not be planning to make the aforementioned Halo 1 multiplayer but some number cruncher in Seattle has to have told you guys an estimate of how much of a $15 or $20 cash cow that would be. E3 was won be Nintendo on simplicity and innovation and Halo Xbox Live could be a return for some of us that have believed in Xbox and Halo from the beginning. Take five years to do Halo 3 if you need it we will be there with cash in hand but there is no school like the old school. Give us something to keep us waiting. What a press brifing it would have been with Halo 1 an Xbox Live 360 killer!!!!!!!!!!

"Q

What was that crazy huge dome buried under Earth?
A

We're not saying, but Halo fans may recognize something about its design."

It's driving me nuts! What am I supposed to recognise?

Sorry to hear there wasn't much to do at this years E3. Lets hope the next one is better. The Halo 3 Tailer is certainly some tasty eye candy. I'm just glad to see something about H3 I was starting to get a little scared. The Trailer has peaked my interest in the Xbox 360 (I'm more of a Sony Fan myself. But the late announcment about the PS3 has me sceptical about Sony.) Well better grab a 360 soon or I'll be left out of the tasty goodness that is HALO 3. Bungie you guys rock! hats off to an awesome series.

I've been waiting along time to here this news , I'm really impressed with this because I watched the trailer of on Hdtv big screen and WOW it looks so damned real on my 360. I thought Halo 2 was good on my Hd but now that i've seen that its excellent and that doesn't compare to the spartan in DOA4. Yes Halo 2 is a great game I play it almost every day on xbox live , and I will always love the halo series but I have to say the major downer is still the cheaters. So my questions are, will there be a possable playable demo of Halo 3 on the 360 anytime soon, and will there be a online multiplayer campaign when it comes out?

Posted by: Frankie

Well we got back from E3 yesterday, or at least Sketch and I did, and to be honest, we didn't see anything of the actual show. We were actually just there to do set up for the trailer and a little surprise afterwards.


What's this ''little surprise'' btw? Sorry if someone already asked.

Hey in the Announce FAQ you mention that the 'Relic' which is shown in the trailer bears resemblence to something fans know about. I was thinking that it looks very similar to the sketch art behind the original Halo logo, am I right?

I originally posted my thoughts on HBO here http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=707619

and the logo im referring to is here: http://halo.bungie.org/logo.html

Im just curious, because theres alot of art in the Halo universe, and I like equating where the ideas come from, and what they are in reference to. The engravings on forrunner structures in both games are a good example of interesting art, as well as the symbols on Elite armor etc.
