I'm pretty sure I posted my thoughts clearly in the original post. I don't get why you're all getting so worked up about it. Relax .... and discuss.


You just contradicted your whole point.

If your telling us to "Relax....and discuss." What's to stop everyone else from relaxing and discussing on topics that actually relate to Halo 3? Topics that don't complain and whine about others. (Don't say your topic was about Halo 3, your thread subject says it all)


The more you post, the less sense you make. There's nothing contradictory about anything I've written. I was just suggesting people take a break from the wacky theories and discuss what they see in the trailer for what they are: possible visual and gameplay improvements. And how on earth is my post NOT related to Halo3?

How about those armor textures, eh? Don't get me started on the reflections. I did however find the weeds blowing in the breeze a little too stiff ...



you see, if you talked like that in your first few posts maybe we could have auctually discussed the topic, but you didnt, all you did was start insulting everyone who disagreed with you.

Wiltron, there's no need to attack someone personally. If you really want to pretend to be mature, it would probably be best to steer clear of personal attacks. ...


Other than a slightly patronizing tone, I fail to see where my original post would be considered a personal attack on anyone.

With your post prefaced with a personal attack of your own, the rest becomes irrelevant.

Are you trying to start a war right up here on my turf? Who comes to someone elses turf and tries to start stuff? You knew this was our turf, what makes you think you can just stroll up in here spouting off?

You obviously have me confused with the individuals attacking me for posting something contradictory to their views.

That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

At what point does the speculation become absurd?

Discuss what Cortana said, discuss the new graphincs, discuss the arc, discuss the possible storyline. Fine.

When you start dissecting the trailer to the point of "Do you think the pixel value at 43538,43243242 in the second frame at 1:03.28889 in the trailer means that the Forerunners were all blind, hence having to use the Scooter-Fudgepack prime number braille algorithms to determine at what point to Halos would be taken over by a corrupt Cortana that has been altered by Graveminds ability to control anything in the cosmos?", you're going to far.

NO! I tell you there must be a story-base reason for every single pixel in the teaser. EVERY SINGLE FRAME! It must all be justified purely based on the GREAT AND GRAND story that is Halo 1-3.

Whattaya say boys and girls?


That's why I added the little quirk in my statement earlier. It sounds -blam!- when you don't know where I'm coming from. I just hate people like Wiltron who post stuff like this. Apparently he didn't notice the other million threads about the assault rifle and armor. These are considered the LITTLE things, due to the fact that they are discovered. Everyone else speculating is just doing it as a hobby and trying to discover bigger things. Just leave them alone. As for the Halo 3 thread, I'm gonna peace out also. No one hardly discusses Halo 3, they just complain about the people who try.

I don't see how thinking about the other reasons the armor or the rifle are different is hateful in anyway. Wiltron just brought up a point and everyone is jumping down his throat. Perhaps you al need to look closely in the mirror when you talk about others insulting you.

Talk about others insulting me? Wasn't that the point I was trying to make earlier? About how people insult people? What the hell?

Should I have written "guys and gals"? "Males and females"? "Men and women"? It wasn't meant to be derogatory. Haven't you ever been to the circus? No one yells at the ringmaster for using the term.

I should think HATE is a pretty strong word for a Halo forum. Anyway, nothing was "discovered". Bungie showed you the new armor textures and the new design for one of the weapons. You can't discover something that someone is trying to show you.

Real Custom Games - Breaking the Halo Cookie Cutter One Gametype at a Time

He's just a genius in the computer and game world. Enough said.

I think a lot of you are posting calmly and trying to be rational. But the thing is that people tend to read apposing arguments with a tone of harshness, unconciously, but they do. This causes certain parts of a post meant to be a simple point to sound like a bicker or attack. This is the route of many of the arguments within this thread. I think we all need to read these posts over agian using a rational voice within our heads.

Now as per my view, I think that some people are probably taking it to far but the line of too far is too fuzy to judge. We at the moment know Bungie would have put some clues within the trailer, I mean there Bungie, but at the same time we have no idea how much is definate and determined, how much Bungie is giving us, or how they are giving to us. This makes so amny possibilities and allows for mass speculation on many aspects that may or may not be clues. This by my books is fine, it's fun, interesting, causes you to think and is exciting waiting for the next idea, wondering what is true and what isn't, contrasting theories, and deciding what you think. It's not some crazy people trying to predict the future and overexadgurating every single thing in he trailer, it's intellegent people trying to solve a hazy puzzle with clues that are indefinate, and unclearly linked. Yes some may say hey look at the object at this frame, but that's simply because it's clearer there or it's a prominent object that you only see shortly.

In conclusion, the speculation is fine, we cannot be sure if it's overexadurated, or is people are looking in to deep, we can only wait and see. Let them have there fun, let them use there minds, let them speculate, let them discuss, let it all happen and if it's not your thing then simply don't participate. You obviously have reason in your mind for your opinion but just remember that you do not know how much Bungie has leftt in that trailer, they are inconsistent in it and you do not have the insider info to know.

The majority of the posts about the trailer have been dredging the trailer for story nuggets. Mine is actually the OPPOSITE of that.

I'm beating a brand new horse (or only slightly used).

Speaking of the trailer visuals, the draw distance has been much bally-hooed ... but there really wasn't much geometry to tax the engine. *THUD*

...and the chief seemed hand-animated rather than motion captured. *THUD*

I just read about half way through the first page and just couldnt stop laughing.

Listen... bungie is known for putting in easter eggs and things like that. However, and tell me if im wrong, i dont believe bungie has ever put anything in their games that tells you the story line of their game. The trailer was just enough to make us want to see more. It wasn't to much and it wasn't to little. They are simply advertising their next game. It's not going to give away the sotry line. The game isn't comming out until '07, chances are they dont even have the entire story line done yet. Nobody had to be hostile about this. If you dont like it than just read something else and stop taking up space by yelling.

I'm sick and tired of people "discovering" new things. Half the "discoveries" made were nothing more than static from Cortana's damn transmission.

Come on people, stop looking for every subatomic particle in the freakin' teaser trailer...all this meaningless speculation really kills the vibe.
