The trailer wasn't THAT cool. It didn't even show us anything. We've know Halo 3 was being made for a year and a half. Actually, it was quite disappointing that it isn't coming out for another whole year.

No sh1t Sherlock. That's my point. some dues are posting, "I cried". People are totally ovewhelmed over nothing more than an announcement that we've know about for some time now. YOU need to think before you post.

Why is it that people keep expecting something super incredible out of this?

They can't give too much of the story away.

I mean the Halo 2 announcement trailer had him walking through a hallway and jumping out of the ship.

This one has him walking across a wasteland and then presumably the Ark fires.

Just as much entertainment in both of those, and they both get the point across very well.

It's a teaser trailer, it's only purpose is to confirm that the game is indeed in the making. It isn't a gameplay demo. It isn't a normal trailer either. It's called an announcement trailer. And what did it do? Indeed, it announced Halo 3. And if you ask me, it looked beautiful.

This ANNOUNCEMENT trailer kicked ass in more ways than one. For all you who think it sucks then tell me one thing.
HAVE YOU SEEN ONE BETTER (trailer that is)

I agree, it wasn't amazing. I didn't cry (freaking -blam!-). It was cool. I was more excited by the news that Halo 3 is announced. Its a good trailer, but don't praise it so much. Bungie won't mind anyway, they said that it wasn't their complete and full effort. Minimum impact on the design team means that it used as little resources as possible.

Even though I have to say. At least it looked better than PDZ.

i like it at first i thought MC was dropping on his knees when he sees earth bieng destroyed but then on closer inspection he only changes legs. It would be cool if mc cried over earth and how he has failed at his job. oil tears come out of his visor...

yeah when i read that statement i was like holy -blam!-. they could have had way better graphics then that and they could have put forth a lot more effort into having a better plot behind the trailer. and the plot was already amazing.

I'm not saying the trailer sucks. I just don's see why people are getting so worked up over it. Now if there were some actual screen shots or actual game play demos, then I could see the hubub.

It was a well put together trailer. No arguing there. But don't cry over it. Don't say its the most amazing thing you've ever seen. And don't read too far into it. Sure, its meant to be read into, but people are going overboard. Its nothing out of this world, but it is good. The biggest part is that Halo 3 is announced, that' the point, not to wow, you don't have to defend it. Trust me, this is coming from me, I'm just as much a fanboy as the next kid. But, don't read into it. I've been here since before Halo 2, and if you get your expectations high, it will dissapoint. BTW this is a new account, that' why te date is so recent.

It's a teaser, not a trailer, you dork. See how teased you are? It's working!

You do realize that trailer was rendered in realtime on an Xbox 360? That IS the actual game running it. Just like the cut scenes in Halo 2, they use the in game assets and setup a preprogrammed routine in order to capture the trailer.

Bungie went out of there way to emphasize that it was realtime in game graphics. What else do you want this early in the development?

This early in development?! You are insane. They have been working on Halo 3 since they started working on the XBOX 360! The game is done! They are waiting to release it for competitive marketing reasons. Like putting it against the PS3.

Finish the Fight

All I hear is "whaaa, whaaaa, wha". Dude, chill. If you don't make games you have no idea how the process is done. CHILL.

You're right, they are just holding off. That's why all we see are screenies from one part of the trailer. Oh wait, no I was joking. You aren't right. Its not done, games take freaking forever to make. There are balance issues, there are graphical bug issues, and they want this game to be amazing.

ROFLMAO ahahahahahahahaha
your cute

i love how you actually think the game is done, and hate announcement trailers cause they didnt show us the ending of the game. its funny

you are no free to shove a controller up your blam

  • 05.12.2006 2:19 PM PDT

Dude, it would be so cool if we had these pregnant sentinels that were, like, all flaming and shot out baby flaming sentinels that would be all "YARRRGH!" then they'd be like, "WHAAAAR" when they shoot.

That'd be sweet.

Halo 3.

Just the fact that its really Bungie's next project and it comes out next year...

Thats... a big deal.

Everyone -blam!-ed and -blam!-ed and -blam!-ed about how long it took to get Halo 2 out. They wanted it faster, sooner, quicker. So MS pushed Bungie to rush it; they even took out the last 3 levels and a long cutscene for it. There were unpolished cinematics and balance issues. And then everyone -blam!-ed and -blam!-ed and -blam!-ed about how Halo 2 wasn't the perfect game.

And they wonder why.
