It looks like MC comes up from some ocean or water in the very beginning of the trailer. And also what is that sound? Is it the sound of waves?

The Bungie team once wrote that the prcess with the new project went swimmingly?

If not water what about a mirage?

well MC isn't wet...maybe the water was all dried up by covenant weapons
and it's not waves, it's just the sounds of the spaceships' engines and the desert, imo
as for the swimmingly part, Franky just likes adverbs

I don't think he came up from water. Although it is possible becasue the river that bisects New Mombasa and Old Mombasa is just behind him.

I think the whole thing is a mirage. Gravemind is just showing MC what will happen if he fails.


I haven't watched the trailer yet ( I have dial-up, I've got 2 hrs left in dl ) but some people said you could hear Gravemind's voice quielty behind Cortana's or something.

What if MCs armor is self drying? For me it looks like water and waves.

Actually the trailer is set inland (s-Weekly Update 12 May 2006) so there is no water to speak of.

exactly, its africa, as for the squigly lines behind the chief, turn on a grill in the summer way hot and watch what happens, i dont think thats an ocean coming from your grill is it? as for the mud/dirt on him, i dont think he has time to wash his armor because he's busy, you know, SAVING HUMANITY!!!

That was water that splashed up when that thing opened but that's buried deep in the ground so it's probably just ground water.

EDIT: Oops...I guess my eyes were playing tricks on me. The first time I saw it I could have sworn that was water. Oh well.

It was a shockwave. Much like you would expect from an earthquake.

that's dust too

Hey, 007 runs around in a tuxedo when he saves the world :P

I bet there were no carwash available, the covenant couldn't fit their vehicles in there so they blew them up, that's why MC is so pissed

The air is being distorted by the mixing of the air heated by the road and the cooler air above it. Haven't you people ever seen a road in summer?
