didn 't any1 even see my link its at the freaking top of page 10! look!!! you can clearly see the grunt head without that breathing thing


Here is a better version.


The arms seem too muscular to be a grunt. Perhaps it is some kind of augmented Covenant soldier?

Kind of like a Covenant SPARTAN program? Scary thought...


lol they made their best super soldier a grunt...yea.................................................. ......

Why does everyone assume grunts all have to be the same size? Do you call a human baby and a human adult different species just because an adult is many many times as big?
If all the grunts were small and seemingly stupid, i really don't think there could have been a grunt rebellion. They had to have been led or inspired by someone with a little more organization or power.

In conclusion, i suggest that the lineup shows a grunt that is a leader because of its larger size, probably intellect, and abilities. The master chief of the grunts in a very loose sense.

Lol, No I'm saying it isn't a grunt. It is something else... i.e A new Covenant species with augmentation and armour similar to the Spartan program.

Everyone calm down, we should all be happy that the new whatsoever it is. Just so happens to be shinny, and you all know how distracting shinny things are. Girls and rings. Oh well have fun speculating.

Here's something small and interesting that I found that I don't think anyone has pointed out.
At arround the 1:30 mark, the original clips with Cortana from the trailer are played without the music. This is the point right after Frankie says "something seems wrong." (referring to Cortana)
Obviously, something is wrong with Cortana, and as everyone knows, it is probable that she is in the clutches of the Gravemind.

If you listen closely, along with the deep bass tone is a higher pitched, jungle-like noise, which sounds strikingly familiar... Isn't this the same sound from the "343 Guilty Spark" level in Halo 1? I'm pretty sure the same ambient noise can be heard in the background of the swamp. If so, this sound is a really strong, and almost perfect representation of the flood. (after all, this level is when they were first introduced into the story)
I think this is definetly a little easter egg dropped into the trailer which confirms that what we think is happening acctually is.

"Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instruments."

Don´t know if this has been posted, becouse the thread is already too long. Anyways at 3:05 you can see a figure, that somehow seems forerunner. Trust me, it is hard to miss. You can see another figure at 2:59 on the background.

I do think that the figure is a forerunner. It has 4 fingers like an elite, but it still looks very human.

Oh by the way. Those creatures that you suggest are grunts or brutes. What if they are Spartan III´s. Think about that.

Besides all the talk about the "character", in the video the person with the blue Zanzibar shirt gave us a big hint also.

"We are wondering what on Earth is going to happen in this game. No pun intended."

This basically means that most or even all the levels in Halo 3 will be on Earth.
(No pun intended. Get it? Har Har....clever Bungie people.)



Sorry if this has been posted.


I'm glad I wasn't the only one to pick up on this.

when i saw that slide i thought it looked strangely familur (forgot how to spell it ) and then i relized it looked somewhat that picture in the halo graphic novel. u know the armor testing one. where he looks like he has some sort of diving equipment on. of course this is just speculation. if this has been posted already i'm sorry its just been a long night

"The debts of meat will live on in eternia." -lukems

my two cents:

regarding the grunt/brute/forerunner/etc. character model, something to consider is that the model is not textured completely and that in the game the model would be very hairy like a brute. The torso and arm shapes are brute-like, and there is no reference in the shot to tell what size the characters are, apart from the pitch of the camera, but looking down on something does not mean it's short.

later on in the video there is a wireframe model that is almost certainly of a brute and you can see the rounded bulging features of the torso and arms that match the armored model in question.

thanks for reading, both of you :)

Here is a better version.
i have another speculation. thanks to pic provided by elite2188if you look at the face of the first "thing" you see it's jaw is slightly closed and if look right above the jaw there is a muscle line leading to the nose. now if remember the pre-halo2 screenshots you might remember the grunt ones. remember the one with no mask on. if look at its face you will see i doesn't have that muscle line. this suggest a few things. 1. its not a grunt but another new alien in the covenant caste structure. 2. its is a, well lets just use this word for now, augmented alien from the caste structure. i let u guys run with that. now look past the first and look at the second. if look at it's legs just above the first thing's body you will see it's thigh is very close to parallel (however you spell it) with the ground. this, if your familiar with body positions, suggests that this thins is in a type of kneeling position which means that it is taller than seen in the doc.. also if you look at the foot on what would be this "thing"'s left, it is slightly behind the body which is also related to a kneeling position. another thing is that the shadow, while not entirely visible, is very tightly bunched which shows that more mass is blocking the light which if i might say again related to kneeling position
