Where is everyone seeing these new weapons, brutes with jump packs, and possible new ships? Which video is it? Link please. (Nevermind, I found where it's all at.)

Is it just me, or did they change this last phrase so it isn't plural anymore "especially the full HD 720p one." Sounds like the quicktime version won't be back...

Dang you Microsoft owned Bungie!!!

Well who wants quicktime? no full screen (unless you have pro) and it takes up more room than the WMV.

You creaters of excitement have done it to me again. GOOSEBUMPS! Thank you, my wife hates you but I say Thank you

There are only two things I hate in the world. People intolerant of other peoples cultures, and the Dutch


Don't hate my hands just cause they smell of cabbage.

It looked like elites with new armor and weapons possibly to get rid of their traditional armor which signifified their allegance to the covanent or it might be a new race in general

Leiru,

Ya you're right..my problem was I beat Halo 2 over a year ago, maybe even two, and just plain dont remember all th cut scenes..but I went home last night with these same questions and started with halo and went through each cut scene...and finally because I got to it last i did find that scene in halo 2 at high charity...but amazingly I found something else...just before that scene I was in a giant room and the ceiling was curved...and there was circular opening in the top og the dom, and looked like the ceiling would open up...and suddenly it occured to me...it looked just like the inside of what the "object" in the Halo 3 trailer...that opens up would look like. If its not it..it sure had the identical shape and markings as the dome...though it might have been a smaller version. But yeah I did find the very ttwo items I suspected might be old halo clips after i wrote that. Oh and as to the forrunner ship, I did also notice on halo two there is a bunch of those in one of the mid to early cut scenes ...I dont think I really pay to much to the cut scenes when Im playing the game...or Im talking to folks thats probably really why I didnt remember them. the only time I really pay attention is when Im getting my rump shot off.

I loved this documentary, it was very cool.

Maybe i should get a teddy bear in the shape of the bungie logo...

Good job guys and girls...

And off course special thanks to Mister O'Donnel

He's the best game music maker ever... well together with Mister Salvatori.

Bye for now,
Marcus.

Actually you can DL the QT version at http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/3/3/F33EE031-FCD3-41 89-AE59-1E70A72F7962/H3E3_Bnet_large_ST.mov . And there are ways to get QT to show fullscreen w/o pro (on a Mac, I dont about Windows)

By the way I think the reason the link was removed from the page was that it causes Qt to crash towards the end of the clip. (on a Mac at least)

Ok. The script really has to be real.... It says on the very first page....

"....Inside there are several large beings, at least three meters in height. They are humanoid creatures, but appear thin and sinewy in stature. Their faces are long, narrow and their eyes are covered by verticle slits of flesh that run the length of their faces. The beings are adorned in a variety of clothing, some wear eloquent fine robes and others have metallic armor. They all have long arms and legs with a feral haunch and large, clawed feet...."

Ok. This doesnt really describe the charcater we are talking about.... But there is anouther character in the game that is being described. One you might have just dismissed as an Elite or some other form of Covanant alien.... "....Their faces are long, narrow...." I'm not sure if you'll recognize anything in Halo OR Halo 2 that looks like that. But they are there.... Let me explain....

When you start a campaign in H1/H2, it gives you a difficulty and a picture next to it. On legendary, the picture shows an alien head. I've always dismissed this head as an Elite and moved on.... Until earlier today, when I was playing campain.... If you play the last level entitled "The Great Journey," towards the end, before you must beat Tartorous, you see the video of them all talking. If you look on Tartorouss' shoulder, you will see an alien head. This head is LONG and NARROW. I believe that this is a Forerunner head he has on his shoulder. Check it out for yourself.

I looked through the res of the scrpit and found nothing about any other type of alien that would look like this.... But I did see that pasma gun thing Don mentioned in there. It lookes exactly like it did in the script.


EDIT! Nope. I change my mind. After seeing these creatures again, thier heads are long and narrow.... These creatures, in the documentry.... They are Forerunners....

The new alien looks like a Grunt and a Brute with a Jet pack or something. Their armor looks like the Arbiter's armor or some gray metal armor.

That link doesn't seem to work...

This weekends update mentions it may come back if they fix it....fingers crossed

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

Well, I see that some people have said that the creatures on the monitor are Elites.. I wasn't sure at first, but if you pause it just before it goes away, you can see that the creatures have 'normal' legs, unlike the Elites. This made me think that they are either Brutes, or, hopefully, Ultra Cool Grunts.
It could be a new creature, but still... go Grunts!

EDIT
I agree, Quicktime on Mac is the way to go
And, If what I said ^^ p there has already been said, then I apologise.

Id also like to say I am not going to analyse any further videos, as I want Halo 3 to be a complete surprise to me. That means not reading the manual either....
I am also likely to have a mental breakdown, but hey.

I kinda have an idea but not really. I bet it has to do with the Arc of the Covanant though.
