I didn't even realise the Apple logo at first and was wondering what was so new about the video.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I still don't understand it. Today is the 12th anniversary of Halo CE's FIRST preview when it was still in RTS. I wonder if that is all it is. I think it is a tribute.

Looks like the original, or an alternate version, of the video that was shown at MacWorld '99. Looks weird haha, but I like it!

If I had a Rocket Launcher, I'd make somebody pay.

If Bungie are to support the Mac platform with their upcoming franchise Apple seriously has to improve their graphics cards. At the moment they're pretty terrible.

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

Oh man, I can't wait for them to release this game. It looks AMAZING.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

I dunno. I reckon it would be better in first person.

It probably is in first person, that was just a cinematic.

Also, to anybody complaining about the graphics, who cares? As long as the flag-waving controls are realistic (the animation certainly is) then I'm happy.

I hate you unless I'm drunk.

I was almost worried that they were hinting their next game would only be on Apple or something.

I'd be very disappointed.

Next we all have to use Apple Talk to communicate.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that before.

edit 4 infinity SWE:
here we go - skip to 3:25

however, the Apple logo is new. Hmmm...


I have seen the Flag twirling bit too and I thought the apple logo looked different than in the original vid.

I am wondering though why this was posted. Was today the day halo CE was announced? What does it all mean. I think I am going to have to google some dates.

EDIT:

I found this:

Android users of Bungie Mobile should visit the Market to update their builds with fresh enhancements that will insure better server parity. On January 4th, all previous versions will require the update. Download the new version now to avoid an interruption in functionality!

Maybe there is an update for the APP today?

TODAY also marks the anniversery of the FIRST Halo preview:

From a Gamelinks preview entitled "Halo" by Sebastian Arciszewski (Jan 4th 2000)

Played entirely as a third-person action game the story of Halo thus far follows the tale of the player assuming the role of a cyborg part of a millitary recon unit that has landed on a massive habitable ring world that is 10 000 miles in diamater. Chased by aliens known as the Covenant (an alliance of three races) the player must use guerilla tactics and what little weapons he possesses to work with his crew to lay claim to this massive ring. The premise is that the race that occupies this piece of rock in space is likely to win the war that is raging between humans and the Covenenat. It's imperative that in this near future you and your crew succeed in warding off the aliens who out-number you, and out-gun you as in the whole grand scheme of things the humans are fighting a losing war.

I'm gonna go with this.

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

This sounds about right....

Bungie is making a Halo RTS for IPads?

  • 01.04.2012 11:23 AM PDT

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

The bungie.net community as a whole, tend to look into things such as this far too much.

OT: That video made me smile for whatever reason.

I think it is interesting that after posting almost nothing on their channel for what seems like ages, they post this particular video.

I wish Marty would say of he is selling the Myth Soundtracks or not. He says he has a few boxes full of them. I didn't know he had a Twitter. 0_0

Bungie but with Mac.

Their next project will be released as a multi-platform title. I guess that they will be releasing it on the mac platform then too?
My best guess as well.

It's amazing, how much Halo has changed since it's conception.

  • 01.04.2012 3:38 PM PDT

Hopefully everyone is reading the video description so as not to be misled into thinking this is more than it is.

"From the cutting room floor, look what Marty found in the depths of his archive. Can you spot what is different about the first glimpse the world was ever given of Halo?"

Marty was tweeting about this today and yesterday. Originally the Halo announcement trailer was going to have that Mac logo on the flag, but they thought it loked too "cute", and the game was being developed for the PC as well so it was cut.

every one is saying that the weirdest thing in that video is the apple. if this is just a sine for there next game why would they use halo to show it.

halo oringly was suposed to premire on the mac on the mac operating system.an as most know that is was also planed to be a RTS.

i conclude this just like a old commercial but was never shown

What if.. Bungie just copies Halo exactly, albeit just changes the characters and settings?

Like, a guy named Mark is in a space ship and is fleeing from advanced aliens. He discovers a moon and is forced to crash there and wage a guerrilla war upon the aliens. About half way through the game, a containment lab on the moon is breached, and weird wildlife and whatnot escape. The wildlife eat everything they see and is the only enemy the aliens fear.

At the end, Mark goes back to his ship and detonates a giant bomb which blows up the moon.

Who the hell do you think I am?

Bungie is just screwing with us, like usual.

  • 01.04.2012 4:11 PM PDT

Theme Builder 4.1 is out for Bungie.net!

Theme Builders

I think it means someone at Bungie made a version of the original Halo demo with an Apple logo on top of the flag...

Pretty obvious.
