Theres one thing i dont understand in the trailer. When the covenant flies by how come they dont start attacking th chief right then and there? Because in all the other Halos when there were Banshees and Phantoms they just attacked you no questions asked and here they ignoe the Chief completely. It kinda makes it seem as though the covenant and the human have teamed up or something.

One, its a trailer. How would it look cinimaticly if a fight started. That isn't the point of the trailer, so why would it even be there? I think it's reading far to much into this to actually say that because they don't fire on Chief that they are allied. One, they are excavating and going to the artifact, so Chief is of little importance to them, two they might not even notice him, and three, it's a freakin' ciamatic trailer, it would look stupid to have them firing at him. That isn't the point of it.

They are extremely preoccupied with the excavation/forrunner structure activation/mayserious battle we don't see in the trailer. THe cheif can't do anything to stop them anyway, or so they think. (to be continued in 2007 GAAAHH ITS TOO LONG!)

What Ginchotron said isn't too far off though. If you pay attention to the flapping sign in the begining of the trailer you will see the face of a grunt and when asked about this in the weekly update they redirected the reader to a specific answer on the faq page and that answer read,

"Q:I spotted an Easter Egg in the trailer after I watched it a few times. How do you explain that?

A:The New Mombasa City Council had an incredibly efficient public works department until and even during the tragic and devastating Covenant invasion."

Which suggests that word of the elite, grunt and hunter/human alignment made its way to earth and the "efficient" New Mombasa City Council was making a well designed Xing sign for the smaller grunts ( I mean come on we've all played campaigne, it is soo darn hard to catch and melee one of those short stacks, just imagine driving when one of them is in the cross walk.

Furthermore, the covenant fleet didn't attack because as the said in the weekly update they were just part of the excavation team not necessarily a fighting team.

Dudes, so me and my friend were like trying to go frame by frame on teh halo 3 trailer, and we found a couple interesting things. 1. When cortana says :"iam your shield, iam your sword" if you pause right when she says the second sword you may get a picture of a very... strange object. at first glance it has a slight resmblence to the Halo insignia, but look at it completely and its a very smooth object. Think of the sighns of a crude fish drawing, take of the head and replace it with a slight blinding light that enters inside the object, and then on the tail shorten it and cut the details down to a single stub. thats the image.
so what is it? the number 2 thing we found was if you time your pause late to see the symbol, you get a flash of a cortanas face, only it has sponge like spores sunken in it, (squishy skin that remarkably looks like the face of the flood) and a sort of screaming mouth. you can still make out her eye however. the 3 thing we found was that when cortana is first talking shes blue right? a little different from the prominent purple colour we've known to love. but if you see where she says "i know you" you get a clear image of her being her natural purple self, and she lookes perfectly fine. so my theory is that the insignia has something to do with the arc, and that her having the flood face means shes being contorted by the hive mind. however, her colour distortion and change of face also shows that shes fighting the infection and trying to remain herself. so if anyone would like to take a pot shot at it be my guest.
