First of all, there has been lots of speculation about the "multi-spartan theory" -LINK- so i was wondering if there is some truth behind this.

Second, is the activation of the Ark truly unintentional (the trailer seems to expose this by showing the Covenant withdrawing from it as it opens).

Third,Are ALL the humans dead, enslaved, or is there a rebellious group that will be aiding the Chief and his need for Human ammunition in the game?

Fourth,can the Halo 3 storyline Really be guided in our minds by following the Bible? Some members of the Bungie Community have speculated that the "Ark", the "Flood" and many other things have a significant tie-in with the biblical story of Noah's Ark.

And finally, is there any way that i can get a job on bungie? whether it be writing, Beta Testing, and/or a Jounalist for Publicists? maybe even a position on the Forum Ninjas. lol....Just askin though.

Only Connect

Clearly this installment of the game HAS to be centered around humanity and told through the perspective of Master Cheif... this glorious Forunner creation beneath the EARTH and all... Any clues to whether or not there will be a digressed section of the game where we have to play as Arbiter? Or will what he has to say be told through cinematics?

Ok hey waz up my first time posting for a weekly update (w007). So to the point, and if this has already been posted sooo sorry, but what are some of the new features in the game? Like will there be a different kind of melee, any new weapons anything new that you could possibly tell us? Thanks and keep up the good work Frankie and Bungie!

If you read this I'll die
A recent study says that 92% of teens turned emo, put this in your signature if you're part of the 8% the stayed gangsta as -blam!-.

Is that the Zanzibar ring all broken down in the backround?

I have one question, well 2.
1. That trailer was amazing, are there going to be any more? (By the way the music sent a chill down my spine(that's a good thing))
2. remember how you posted an update a couple of weeks ago stating that your 'next project' is going to have 4 player co-op and free roam? Now how does that relate to the trailer you ask? Well since the trailer was running in real time and that humongous world out there is just awesome, so... is it true that you said that?

How come the piano part of the song that plays when the chief shows up reminds me of the opening theme from the show House? I dont know if anyone else thinks this but for some reason i do.


It reminds me of some of the music in Eyes Wide Shut (very underrated, in my opinion, but I understand why some people would hate it). Those single, "off-key" sounding piano strokes are very similar.

Based upon what you guys said about how you were rushed after E3 when making Halo 2 on the DVD and how awsome looking the annoucement trailer for Halo 2 was....I was wondering if you are as rushed as you were before. I noticed in the annoucement update that you would be using the gameplay engine for youre cinematics this time around just like you did in Halo 2....that way the player feels more like they are actually there. With that noted...does that mean that this trailer is what the gameplay is also going to look like?

(PS. Is that a grunt on the street sign? hahaha)

Are the rumours true that the Spartan in the trailer isn't really Master Chief, but the Spartan team's greatest chef known to man, MASTER CHEF. I heard you don't fight and save earth, but rather gather ingrediants and rare spices while evading covenant in huge mazes to save the Spartan team's diet.

If not, what do you think Mister Chef would look like?

Hey Frankie-

1.) Will the final gameplay graphics be similar to what was seen in the trailer? They already look amazing.

2.) Can we expect at least 1 or 2 new forum avatars based off the images in the trailer?

3.) What other game got you the most excited during E3?

In the Halo 3 FAQ, you said that Halo 3 would be the end to this story arc. Does that mean that other games could be created within the Halo universe?
