1) I noticed a set of vertically paired dots aong the bottom on a frame or two... is that another Bungie Mystery Code?

2) Was that the HAVOK physics engine at work in the announcement movie?

Can we get a 3D screen shot of the cheif in quicktime? That would be awsome and would show the haters that it is indeed realtime.

can you assure me that you won´t put weapons in just because people whine about them, but that you put them in because it´s better for the gameplay?

Frankie,

Much has been made of attempts in other games to model soft surfaces like hair, fur, clothing, fabrics, etc. Halo 1 and Halo 2 didn't really have much use for such surfaces, for the most part.

However, there are several in this trailer-- the windblown brush, the flexible hose rattling in the stiff breeze.

Is this a new feature of Bungie's own rendering engine, or an effect produced by a piece of middleware, and is it intended for use only within noninteractive cutscenes, or within gameplay as well?

What does Cortana ( if it is Cortana ) mean with the whole
"I have defied gods and demons
I am your shield, i am your sword
I know you, your past, your future
This is the way the world ends" thing?

Dear Franky,

I and the rest of our beloved fan comunity have bruised our brains trying to figure out what Cortana/Gravemind is/are saying. Could you tell us her/his exact words and also could you tell us what the heck she/he is really trying to say?

Thanks a bunch in advance!!!

What would the Mister Chief look like if he was watching the end of the world?

Also, how much does gas cost in the future? Is the warthog fuel efficient?

When Cortana starts speaking and we can (apparantly) hear echoes of Gravemind's voice in hers, is this because Bungie didn't want to reveal the recognisable voice of Cortana too early in the trailer and to give the impression that she is "fighting" Gravemind, or is it because of something a little more sinister?

Also, are those rings sticking up in the background remnants of the space elevator?

When did work on Halo 3 actually begin.

Was the artifact seen in the trailer actually part of one of the 3 levels cut from Halo 2 that Mr. Staten recently referred to? Could it have possibly been the original ending to Halo 2, which is why it was shown at E3 without much fear of ruining the "real" H3 plot line?
