I'm not happy with Halo 3. at all. that bullhocky trailer did nothing for me except piss me off. why? i'll tell you why.

Halo 1 was great. Then Halo 2 was announced and the selling point was the fight on earth. I remember reading advertisements after advertisements on how the fight on earth will be spectacular. Low and behold - the fight on earth was 2 levels long and boom. No more earth.

Not to happy about the turn of events that bungie has made. I'm disappointed. Deeply. You can't just advertise earth earth earth over and over and then only be on earth for a quick spell THEN find out in halo 3 its gone. thats just...in my mind.... a clevel cop out that probably no one will notice since afterall, bungie plays off the excitement of players.

your a good group of guys bungie, but you know what im talking about.

About skipping school at Halo 3 launch day

Yeah, only nerds skip school. Oh wait...

Yeah I have to say I agree with you Kempatsu about the huge Earth fight and all that, and the different Warthogs like Snowhog etc. If you aren't going to include it in the game then don't talk about it. Well Halo 2 was kind of rushed so we can just hope that Halo 3 turns out to be what they say.

HOLD MY DRINK.

How are you not happy with something you know nothing about. Halo3 has a release date of 2007 which means that theres 12 months the game can be released. Why dont you wait for some game details before you pass judgement.

Remember the e3 trailer for Halo2 was very different from the game we all know that. They did that because they didnt want people to get ideas on what the game will or could be like. Everybody expected Halo2 to be just like the trailer and we were all wrong. Now its set up to where you know the game is comming out but you dont know what the combat will or might be like.

Just be patient. 2007 is a long way away because I highly doubt it will be 1st or 2nd quarter.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

They never said that all the levels would be on earth, or even that a majority would be, for Halo 2. The fans created that idea by the irrelevant trailers that had nothing to do with the story. Bungie's tag line for Halo 2 was "Earth will never be the same". In that, they lived up to their promise.

I hope you are right NAUSHIS, but I just say that Bungie should not go out with "wow we're gonna have five types of Tanks and two kinds of ATV's" and then regret it all and just put in the regular Warthog and one Tank.

Down, down to hell and say that I sent you there...

I came into the world with my legs forward and a woman cried "he was born with teeth!"

"I had no father I am like my father...I had no brother I am like my brother...And this word, "love" which old farts call divine be resident in men like you -blam!-. But not in me, I am my mother-blam!- self, alone."

You Are an Idiot

Do you know anything about video game development at all? I'm sure you're still pissed because they took out the ATV as well? Developers change the game as they're making it so things can work out. The other warthogs had no use in Halo 2, so they didn't see the reason of putting them in there. Did Bungie EVER make a formal announcement that the entire game was going to be fought on Earth? No, they never did. They Bungie EVER make a formal announcement that there were going to be four warthogs? No, they never did. Bungie kept everything quiet and this is the exact reason why. They didn't want little kids complaining about them announcing stuff that never got in there. You see some tidbits on some sight not even related to Bungie and then you bash the game because they weren't in there. If it's not from Bungie, it's not official. So quit your -blam!-ing and wait until the real details start being announced before you start bashing the game.

Well, if YOU want to make a video game the quality and proportion of Halo 3, go right ahead. i'll sit on the sidelines and laugh.

You're right. However, just about everything that hyped Halo 2 (trailers, books, interviews) all pointed to an epic battle on Earth. So when we got 2 levels of Earth (3 if you count Cairo Station as Earth) and then we're back to a Halo, it's kind of frustrating.

However, at the little demonstration Bungie had with reporters after the trailer to show that the trailer was real-time, they said that the trailer takes place about a 1/3 of the way through the story. So, there is still hope for some sort of doomed defense of Earth. I'd like it if they do that.

Bungie did so much false advertising that I am truly amazed as to how they were not sued.

Can you give ONE link where Bungie said the whole game would be on Earth? The trailers they showed had portions of battles on Earth. And with the exception of certain parts of the E3 demo, they were in the game.

To be honest if Halo 2 was all Earth the game would get boring. Bungie needed to give us a taste of Earth combat and then move the story forward. Fightning on Earth the whole game won't forward the story at all which is what this trailer was meant to do.

That they actually run the trailer through the 360 instead of recording it before the show.

Bungie in their words "screwed up" and wasted most of there time on the 8min realtime demo (which turned out didn't even RUN on the xbox) I still want to fight In massive cities all around the world like London, NY, W.DC and Tokyo!!!
I still have the vid for the Halo2 teaser (you know MC jumping out of hanger into earths orbit) and the 8 minute real time demo) Lets not pretend Halo2 was better than Halo:CE everyone! Bungie still did a -blam!- good job making a AA title in 10 months

i think by real time he means that it wasnt scripted and was actually being played by a person rather than just a movie of sorts

Real-time cinematics are like the cinematics in Halo, Halo 2, and the Halo 3 trailer, where the graphics are made by the same engine that makes the in-game graphics. These are in stead of CGI trailers such as the ones used in Final Fantasy games where the graphics are not made by the in-game engine.

The game is called "Halo" for a reason. There will be more fighting on Earth according to the trailer. You guys will get your epic Earth battles then.
