I would say the documentary is just as exiting as the trailer its self (now that I've watched the trailer over and over). And nice stuff on the computers, grunt or new Covenant race?
And also, the documentary was almost 7:07 long (it was 7:08).

You know what would be great.. if we could fly around in the enviroment on our own xbox 360.. or even better yet we could walk around it as the master cheif! then we could have where to mastercheifs could walk around it and then we could use our AR's to fight each other!!!!! YEAH and you guys could put weapons all around the map and we could call it a DEMO!!!! NOW That WOULD be SO GREAT!!! j/k

Great video... I enjoyed the diff angles and I noticed the computer screens in the background had some interesting stuff on it.. Im gonna try to zoom in and see what I can find!

Niiiiiiiiiiice.

I probably shouldn't have downloaded the large versions though.. had some buffer overrun problems in the last 30 seconds and it was taking up so much resources on quicktime lol I managed to watch the whole thing though with the wmv version.

I have a theory about the new covenant looking thing. Either they tried to make spartans out of their own grunts, jackals, elites, brutes, hunters, or drones. Or its the Shurqiuo i know i didn't spell that right sorry. Or the Shurqiuo aren't a new species instead the are just spartan like experiments on troops and that is why the prophet said the time wasn't right to use them because they weren't fully done and were either getting training or really smart by getting downloads of human and forunner technology or they were souly built to destroy chief. Just a theory about those new covenant in the trailer.

AWSOME!!! Can we get some of those new angles posted in the screen shot gallery?

Ok, those new covenants that you could see in one o fthe computer screens, i think they are either some kind of drones with something on their backs (super drones :P?) Or maybe they are some kind of Jackals with jetpack. They can't be grunts, cause they look to skinny for that.
My friend says they look a little like prophets, because they have red robes (dark red) but i think it looks more like brown.

I downloaded the high res version and got some good screen shots. Ill work on uploading them…
They were not elites in Spartan armor, as I previously thought. They look like either elites in bulky armor that somewhat reminds me of a sentinel, or brutes with elite-esqe (they have the same helmet sculpt of the ranger elites) armor and jet packs. I would probably go with brutes though, as Silentassasin said, because the “thing’s” necks aren’t as elongated as an elite.
They also are holding what looks like one-piece plasma rifles (they don’t have the distinctive “U” shape) with a short bayonet mounted on the bottom.

EDIT: Here's the screen shots I took


I think everyone needs to review these pics again. Are those really grunts? or brutes? or.....they look too big for grunts and too small for brutes. who knows> im still DLing, but thanks in advance Bungie, keep up the hard work:)

Any one else think MC's suit looks a little bit more flexible?

Perhaps granting him more mobility and.......flexible...ness?

Dive roll?

You won't just finish one fight, you'll finish all of the fights you started in Halo one"


So what does this mean? what fights were left unfinished in Halo one The Arbiter perhaps? the ongoing fight against the covenant?

What does everyone think?
