OK, THESE ARE UNDER "CONFIRMED FACTS" ABOUT HALO 3:

* According to Bungie's statements about Halo 3, Master Chief and Cortana are still separated from each other.

* According to the Bungie website, scenes in the trailer are mixtures of
different scenes and animations from the actual game, which include the tower wreckage that Master Chief walks through at the beginning of the trailer.

* The Bungie website also alluded to "a devastated and Covenant controlled Earth".

* Bungie revealed that the game would have a new "materials system" so advanced that "you could see light reflect off the ground and onto his armor", which will be able to "[show] the difference between his armor and the rubber undersuit". The site also includes that "It's so detailed that if you bring the camera close to the Master Chief's visor, you see everything in front of him reflected in it, right down to the ammo counter in his rifle" . In addition, there would be new advanced texturing to reflect permanent, persistent damage.

* In the trailer, Master Chief's Mark VI armor is battle-worn and plasma-scored. Developer Marcus Letho's response: "The Chief is shown as warrior who has seen horrific battle – and it shows. The Earth is dry, barren, ravaged by the Covenant."

* Halo 3, as Bungie has stated, will be the conclusion to the current story arc, which doesn't rule out other Halo games. "Bungie announces Halo 3, the third and final game in the Halo Trilogy" . However, it should be noted that in a FAQ on the official Bungie website it says, "Q: Is this the last ever Halo game? A: It is the conclusion to this story arc." This leaves open the possibility of future Halo games.

* With the release of the trailer Bungie has declared publicly that Gravemind, who originally appeared midway through Halo 2, is an intelligence of Flood origin.

* Bungie has confirmed the following basic plot points from what the teaser trailer revealed: Master Chief is back on a thoroughly conquered and Covenant controlled Earth. Cortana is still a prisoner of the Gravemind. Finally, the Covenant ships are hovering over an excavation site only a few miles from New Mombasa.

* Bungie has also stated that the rising structure seen in the trailer should be familiar to Halo fans. To that end, seven pairs of tower structures ringing the dome call to mind the Rampancy logo. In addition, speculation suggests that it might also be the mysterious "Ark" mentioned at the end of Halo 2.

* The Master Chief from Halo and Halo 2 is confirmed to be the Spartan in the Halo 3 trailer. Bungie have yet to release any information on the whereabouts of Will, Fred, Linda, or Kelly, the Spartans featured in the Halo Novels.

* The surface the trailer takes place is in fact Earth, or more specifically, New Mombasa in Kenya, Africa. Mount Kilimanjaro can be seen in the background.

* Halo 3 and the Halo movie could come out at the same time, however "The two will not affect each other in terms of release dates."

"keep this thing alive" is one thing. If you continue to bump it, mods may lock it. Just warning you.

We know, we're trying to be careful about that. Thanks anyway though.

No problem, but it doesn't seem like you're being careful. You're posting within minutes of each other... just leave it alone and see if the people are interested. Otherwise you're just bumping.

This answers the Cortana voice changing issue quite well:

"Cortana's lines use a trochaic heptameter, also used by Gravemind in Halo 2. Fans have speculated that the voice of Gravemind can also be heard, mirroring Cortana's words, leading many to believe Gravemind plays a part in Cortana's speech, possibly even speaking through Cortana to the Master Chief. Another possible explanation is that the transmission started off with heavy distortion and corruption."

A trochiac heptameter is reffering to a type of poem

its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

transmitter that is activated from the Ark, could have sent the confirmation code to the remaining five rings (originally 7, but the Master Chief and Cortana destroyed the ring near Threshold and Delta Halo).

This article is incorrect in many places, including the above quote.

how is that incorrect? There were seven rings, 2 of which were destroyed. The Ark may have sent an avtivation signal, if thats what that was.

How can you destroy the ring near Delta Halo when Delta Halo is the ring. And they didn't destroy it. Cortana stayed at HC and if the worse comes, she would detonate In Amber Clad's reactors. But shes still alive, now isn't she.


It is unclear what the pulse actually is, but it could mean that this structure, whether it is the Ark, or a transmitter that is activated from the Ark, could have sent the confirmation code to the remaining five rings (originally 7, but the Master Chief and Cortana destroyed the ring near Threshold and Delta Halo)

He never destroyed the ring in Halo 2, he left for Earth with Truth on the Forerunner ship, so you stfu. Maybe Cortana will destroy it in Halo 3, but Halo 3 isn't out
