1.Is earth really ravaged and controlled by the covenant or is that just to makes us think its ravaged like you guys did in the halo 2 teaser trailer making us think earth was being bombarded by the covenant but it never was? cuase I cannot see how the covenant take over earth soo fast when there are 298 MAC guns still there and there fleet is eqaul to the mac guns. somy next questiion is(see 2nd questuion lol).
2. the Master Chief arrives to earth at the end of halo 2 with the mac guns still there most of them and we do not see the fleet from high charity arrive yet. so WILL YOU BE MAKING A CUTSENCE to explain how the covenant take over so fast?
3.Is the "acknowlegment blinks" that we saw on the Master Chief's helmet were from other spartans like fred, linda and kelly?(you guys said the books continue the award winning xbox game and in the FIRST STRIKE it hows the Master Chief,linda.fred and kelly heading back to earth.)
4.Was that new armor for the Master Chief?
5.Is the forerunner ship the prophet of truth is in the key to that forerunner object we saw?
6.whats with the grunt on the sign? is that just to tease us since its a teaser trailer?
7.whats with the picture of the cryotubes and the room there in from the first level of the halo 1 when cortana is appearing?
8. is cortana really controlled by gravemind or did you guys just mixed their voices to make us think that cortana is messed up when she said they said demons?

Can you explain how the Artifact in the H3 trailer can be 3 mi across when it completey dwarfs covenant ships that are 3.3 miles long?


Oh snap!

You need to put Marty's song from the trailer on the website so i can download it....but my question is does the flood have anything to do with the Ark?cause i mean we all know the story of noah's ark and the flood

Easy question.

Are there any booklets/articles/letters that we could read that would help us understand anything about the trailer? If there are, then what are they?

(off topic) Also, what classes could you recommend for a soon-to-be sophomore?

Why does cortana's voice become somewhat demonic when she says "And Demons"? Is it Gravemind's voice in reality?

Is masterchief leading the covenant pack (the elites) or is going to have to find a way to destroy them all?

Does that artifact dock with Truth's ship?

Why does sword sound like source so much?

Why is Cortana quoting her letters ("This is the way the world ends")? Curiously enough, the poster above me's signature is doing the same.

Has Cortana gone rampant?

Has Cortana uncovered means of time travel (using the crystal from first strike) thus justifying her saying "I know your future"?

Has Cortana fuzed with gravemind? Thus explaining her voice as well as making her existance eternal?

If the artifact DOES dock with Truth's ship... how the hell did Masterchief get off it?

Is the hidden code(s) in the trailer decipherable or relevant at all? Or is it just for looks?

Will halo 3 include dust particle effects as well as miraging effects in gameplay?

Will there be a viral campaign (a la ilovebees) as there was for halo 2? (I noticed www.finishthefight.com is registered)

Can you draw us a misterchief with halo3esque lighting effects?

Oh and as a note, Marty has totally OWNED the halo theme.

First off, i wanted to say thank you for Halo 2. seems like these days all you get is criticism for it. now to the good stuff.

1. Someone linked to a "leaked" H3 script. I didnt look at it for the fear that there was a 1% chance it may be real? could you please tell us it was fake?

2. Are you guys considering showing off MC's face? maybe a quick moustache shot. i bet he has a fu-man-chu.

ZD: Real name is Zebediah Dingleberry. Once ZD’s rock band makes the big time, all we’ll have left of him is his insatiable love of BBQ corn nuts and some guy named People’s Champ.

How many people were involved in making the trailer and how long did it take them to create it?

Heck, maybe even plaster their names on here so we can give a shout out! Great work once again, Bungie. Can't wait for '07!

If truth's ship (forerunner ship) docked there, why is Master Chief on land? It doesn't make any sense that Master Chief would be on that ship at the end of the H2 and then be on the ground in the trailer, if the ship docks with the artifact.

They said that it was fake in an update that came out right after the fake script was released.

Is the city seen in the distance past the Forerunner artifact New Mombassa?

Will you give any hints as to the existing Halo2 item that the Forerunner artifact is supposed to look like?

Can you comment on how far into the Halo 3 storyline this cinematic fits? Is it from the start, the middle, towards the end?

How awesome is Halo 3?

Will it be as awesome as fried twinkies?

Do you like fried twinkies?

Is the geometry you can draw at 13 miles just big triangles or other basic geometry? Or is it like recognizable things like buildings, mountains, or secret Forerunner monuments?

How many voices are there actually present in the transmissions? Is it just the Gravemind and Cortana, or are there even more voices present? I think I can detect five, but am I just speaking rubbish?

Incidentally, a lot of people have noticed different shapes in the transmission static - a palm, and eye, a chest, a ring. What's with the blocky thing that looks suspiciously like a building?

Finally, is it possible for AIs to be infected by flood? It sounds to me as if Cortana is hesitant when she says "I know you", as if she's forgotten?

Thanks in Advance!

So is the MA5B in the game for real, or did you guys just happen to render that one cuz it looks so ool or what?

  • 05.12.2006 9:01 AM PDT

will the environments be destructible for ex. buildings, trees, etc.

  • 05.12.2006 9:02 AM PDT

"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

Whats happening with the BR and SMG?

Which (if any) is the AR replacing? Is that the MA5B from Halo 1? or is it a new model as it has a longer barrel? Does it have an alternate firing mode?

Hey Frankie,

After watching the trailer and seeing that much has happened since the end of H2, any chance we'll see a tie in with the Halo movie and the Release of Halo 3? Perhaps a near simultaneous relase? Seems like you have potential for one of the most massive marketing campaigns in history at your fingertips. Seems like a pretty good next step towards world domination, dont you think?

P.S. Do you have a picture of Mr. Chief's ride? Does it have dope rims yo?

P.S: Do you have pictures of mister chiefs wedding or is he married??

Four Questions for you Guys

1)I have a question for bungie on H3. How many players can you play with on LIVE? Like 16 or 32?

2)On the trailer are those the final grafics for the game or are you guys going to make them better?

3)Is the same team for H2 working on H3? And when are you guys going to post the next new info for H3

4)Any new info for the Halo movie coming out? If so please put the info of it in the next update.
