Ignore these four words.

Reading through some of the questions, I get the feeling that the majority of them won't get answered. If that is the case, when can we expect to learn more?

Oh, and the new music is great, I'd love to see an mp3 released...

i noticed in the trailer that MC was holding the rifle from halo 1, are you guys gonna make another riflr for number 3 ? or are you gonna bring back the rifle from halo 1 ? please bring it back, or maybe a combo of the one from the first and the second, like .. a scoped weapon, with different fireing modes (full auto, 3 round burst) and awesome job on he trailer.. you blew me away

kind've off topic (sorry! jeez im sorry already! ow!) but how soon can we expect eric nylunds next novel, and can we get a bit of a teaser on its content/ time setting.

p.s. what music does mister chief listen to? he seems like he'd be good at the robot and the worm. Maybe a dancing mister chief sometime soon?

Hello, Bungie! Nice trailer.

===> New game engine is using alot of 360's hardware or there is some space to get visuals even better?

===> How many easter eggs this trailer have?

Love you, Bungie.

cuz its epic?

I'm one of those storm chasers that will never have a TV show because I don't scream at clouds.

Can you give us an idea of where Halo 3 will fall (timewise) compared to the novels? It is obviously soon after the events of Halo 2, but how much in game time has elapsed from the first game to the newest? Are we talking weeks or months here?

There were small events in the trailer that caught my eye: rocks fall off the cliff edge, the artifact making this explosive initial opening causing Covenant ships at near being pushed away minorly .... Were these events scripted, or can we expect realism like that in real time?

I know one of the things mentioned a while ago was a user interface update for Halo 2, do you still plan on that or is Halo 3 the only thing you are working on?

I was just wondering if the three levels that were taken out of halo 2 were going to be included in halo 3 or if they just got scraped all together? if there gone for good can you tell us what they were? can you give a % complete of halo 3? and last why dont you guys release more concept art for halo 1 and 2.

1. What was the most difficult part of the trailer to finish in time for E3. I know the big "B" plans ahead, but these types of things always tend to run pretty last minute.(Insert two spaces here)Anything stick out in your mind?

2. Were there any things that were left out due to lack of time or was the end product what the whole team was going for?

3. The draw distance and framerate was astounding. Can we hope to see similar results on our 360 with the final game?

"Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instruments."

Hi i´m an old time user, previosly known as Fin-Spartan.
I have a couple of guestions.

1. Is the AR really going to be in the game?
2. Can you release a .mp3 from the trailer?
3. Does the game start from that scene, or will we be able to fight on earth for a while before the end of the world?
4. What about Arbiter, Sgt. Johnson, Kelly and Dr. Halsey?
5. When can we expect more news?

Thank you.

  • 05.12.2006 12:25 PM PDT

I have 2 questions. One: Will we see Fred, Kelly or Linda in Halo 3?

Two: Will there ever be another Halo game? Not necessarily with this storyline but with Master Chief or other Spartans?

And one more for good measure...How long will Halo 3 be? Like how many levels? Will it be longer than Halo or Halo 2?

Thanks Frankie, keep up all the awesome work!!!!

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!

Can't honestly be bothered to read 12 pages of questions so forgive me if i repeat questions:

At the begining of the trailer the camera points down a dusty road with some sort of rock or sand dunes going out eitherside, does this mean there will be more expansive/multi-path levels/ environments in Halo 3 than in previous halo games?

Are any models re-used from older halo games in the trailer, such as the banshee or covenant cruiser? Or have they all be re-done from the ground up for Xbox 360?

Who made that transition effect for when the 'Halo 3' logo flashed on screen?

When will you release a direct-feed version of the environment camera 'fly-around' that you did for press behind closed doors?

Can you give me some more ideas for questions?

It seems that there's a lot of confusion in the game's story so is there any chance of clearing that up in halo 3?
