People check this out.. i was playing the trailer in slow-mo and i kept pausing and unpausing till i found somthing strange on 00:33 of the trailer. Check it out and see if it's familiar: (Use firefox to open, don't know how to link..so just copy and paste)

This image also appears again in 00:53 of the trailer.

To me it looks like some sort of a platform.
What do you think?

It's too blurry to say anything definate about it. And one of my admin friends at HBO already showed me that.

Could you please link this for me?

  • 05.12.2006 5:30 AM PDT

Its strange, even tho i could only view the first one. Looks sort of like an old covy dropship, yknow, whe U-shaped ones? But its probably just static or something.

I don't know. It's probably nothing, just a transition image.

I don't think you're gonna have much luck figuring out all BUNGIE's secrets from couple of blury pictures.

I've been going over this teaser to try and find anything...*sigh*,
And while there could be multiple of thing in the static images when cortana is speaking, one thing that stands out other than that symbol that people are talking about. At around 28sec give or take a couple of millisecounds there is a Hand pressed on the screen plane as day, the hand is split into 2 frames, the first is the bottom half ( palm and thumb ) then there is a flash and the secound frame comes in with the other half (fingers), now this might be nothing but i thought it was weird as why have the hand pressed on the screen? is it Cortanas? or is it a dev? (easter egg) dunno.
oh and if this has already been mention'd sorry,lol

I looked at your pictures, they look to blurry to say anything at the moment but what I wanted to discuss was something that I have been confused about ever since I completed the Halo 2 campaign. The thing that has dumbfounded me is what the hell is that huge octopus thing? You know, the thing that is holding MC and the arbiter? My thoughts are its part of the flood and will play a major role in H3. Anyone else know anything?

The first image looks like Cairo from Halo 2 with a boarding craft outside.

Let's get it own!

That's exactly what I thought, Covie Boarding craft......maybe the elites, boarded the Cairo after Halo 2 to make a treaty with the UNSC and this depicts it?!?!?

Aw who knows we've got a long time to wait. :(

That would be Gravemind a flood command type thing who speaks in riddles and someone you probably have to kill in H3

I am...whimsical today.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but at 02:08.32 (by my movie editor) it looks remarkably like a sillouete of gravemind and another figure. Or maybe its just chance distortion of the logo.

If you don't want to hear about the vid frame by frame then you don't have to read these things, no one if forcing you.

Gravemind = Collective mind of the flood.
So in otherwords, the collective force. The only way to kill the flood is to kill it's food - wipe all sentient life from the galaxy (or so is said in the game and novels) so I doubt you have to kill Gravemind.

I have to agree with Mat parker 116 about fighting and killing gravemind BUT I DO NOT LOOK FOWARD TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the reason is when i first saw him i thought i have to fight but when i realized how big he was i was grateful that i did not have to fight him. But i also agree with mortumee about using halo to kill sentint life to stop the flood. but i see a glitch if halo is designed to kill all sentinet life isn't the master chief's job not to let the halo weapon turned on. What i am saying is it looks like a lose-lose situation here. but i am pretty sure that bungie has a huge trick up thier sleeves.

how the hell would you kill the thing... it would take forever lol. and if you did what do you think it would do to you? it would be a scary thing to fight

Lots of rockets and generally shooting a lot and probably a HAVOK just to be on the safe side
