I ran through the video frame by frame and picked out stuffI personally have no clue about, here they are listed below with times as they relate to the large Windows Media HD version.
0:25 - 0:30 A Skyline of a city is visible..it doesnt look like LARGE skyscrapers but there are tall buildings, I wonder what city this is? by the way whenever you see the new "object"...you can see this skyline behind it. this is also near the scene with that new "female anatomy" shaped craft that gets a banshee escort and BIRDS follow? whats that all about? Who is in that craft? why do birds follow it? how can birds follow it..isnt it too fast? wow I have a lot of questions!
0:47 MC and Cortana have an "in-game" dialogue. I dont recognize/remember the scene, so i dont think it was from Halo/Halo2...but what is striking in this clip is that unlike in the teaser trailer we have all been drooling over, MC's armour resolution looks no better in that clip than in Halo /Halo 2. He had virtually no reflection in his visor and his armour looked..dull and not shiny and reflective. Please tell me this was an older Halo/Halo 2 clip that I have long since forgotten, and that MC will look just like he does in all that detail as in the teaser trailer for Halo 3?
Clips 1:11, 1:27, and 1:32: Cortana looks very different in each. in 1:11 she has bright shining green eyes and a healthy look to her. In 1:27 she looks like the living dead, she has no eyes, merely shadows where eyes are and her hair is covering her face in strands. In 1:32 she has eyes again and hair but she seems to be slightly morphing from the evil dead looking cortana to the live cortana..although uyou never get to see her bright green eyes again...they are almost colorless/blue like the rest of her, but her hair is almost back to perfect..a few strands. Wonder if this means anything or gives insite into her role?
2:56 Good screen shot drawing of the mystery rifle...looks different in the drawing than on the screen during the teaser. In the drawing it looks like some kind of automatic shotgun with pump action, except that the bore of the barrel looks too small to be a shotty. And then again ot looks like an older rifle seen in Halo, This might be the assault rifle everybody is referncing here in the forum. Anyway this drawing gives details of the weapon that the inherent darkness of the halo 3 teaser doesnt expand upon.
3:00 I dont know what that character is...it has the shape of a grunt, except wher eht ehead should be..and I cant tell if what Im looking at is a helmet or something else..but it defibnately has the shape of a grunt. And it looks like it has a jetpack on.
3:01 The video pans up and over the jetpack wearing grunt to reveal two characters standing behind him. One is a grunt in full armour..very cool. the other, Im not sure what it is..looks to furyy(?) to be a grunt and was extremely hard to make out features because he is at a distance.
3:01 A new weapon or two is spotted here in the picture, It is pistal in size, it is obviously plasma oriented as it has the under side extension shapped like a knife blade below the barrel...cant wait to see what it shoots, and is obviously gonna be a hell of a melee weapon..maybe even a stabber..nah couldnt be. anyway its very cool. The second possible weapon is whatever it is on top of the jetpack laden grunts head..i just cant tell what it is Im looking at ..so i wont rule out it being a weapon.
5:56 A screen shot of a ship coming through a start gate. I dont recall ever seeing this ship ever before. here is what it looks like. Take a camera tripod and lay it on its side, removing the camera base attachment plate and adding a knife edge. it looks like each of the tripod legs is articulated and will close to become a long cigar shaped vessel...and to my eyes it looked like as the scene changed they started to do that very thing...but I wasnt sure if it wasnt just an illusion created by the perspective change.
