im still geting a xbox 360. also im not geting the ps3 they way to expensive

number one stunna

ALright, after close observation, i noticed:

that in the background, on one of the monitor/TV's, there's a rendered Masterchief holding a Halo 1 shotgun. The difference between the Halo 1 and 2 shotguns is:
The foregrip is different. Halo 1 shotty had large bulbous grips, not skinny vent/slots. The shotgun I saw had those lumps.

There is a bar running along the barrel connecting the rear and forward crossharis in Halo 1. It's not in Halo 2 to my knowledge. I saw the bar in the video. I also noticed that the shotgun in the video looked longer, with more curves then the Halo 2 shotty, much Like Halo 1.

I also spotted what looked like an elite with fancy armor, and some new humanoid looking figure.

the halo hype machine begins..... now!

also, i would like to remind you that the second figure is indeed holding a pistol with what looks like a blade on the front.

Possibly a counterpart to the brute-shot???

They are most definitely elites you can tell because of the face armor, and it is a pistol he's holding

i personally don't know what these guys are, but i really like the forerunner idea. Imagine levels where instead of marines at your side, you have these guys.

it could be a brute with its hair shaved off because it looks too big to be an elite and too small to be a brute.

Ah, Jeez! Some of you guys think its a grunt, others think its a brute, some think its a marine... or a hunter, or a drone, or an elite, or a forerunner. I think its safe to say that we obviously don't know -blam!- right now.

The guns these new aliens are holding do look like pistols and they do have a blade below the barrel that looks like a miniature of the brute shot. We can only assume this is a weapon from the Brute culture. I think that these new aliens are smaller versions of Brutes, they are most likely part of the Brute society or come from the same planet as the Brutes.


Also, has anyone else noticed that the first alien has a different "backpack" compared to the others in the line. The first one seems to have some kind of extra arms on each side, as the others only have a round piece.

I think it's on earth, it looks somewhat like a drone, but what's the point of giving a drone a jetpack? It can't be an elite, the headpiece is too small. It's too small to be a brute, too humanoid to be a grunt, and the creature has a different posture than that of a jackal. Therefore, I feel it can be safely assumed that we have spotted a new race!

I think it kinda looks like the arbitur in some kind of marine/covenant blend of armor. Also, the thing on his back kinda looks like a sword handle or the butt of a large gun. O.o

If you notice in the part of the movie at time 1:43 seconds, you can see a couple of little tidbits such as the word "flood" in one of the strings and it shows there are two different engines on the phantom or "creep" as shown in the string which could lead to speculate that you can destroy them this time around since all parts of the phantom actually have fesable tags and also lead to speculate that you can drive them...god i hope so(-)(-)

Can you do a screenshot of this so i can look closer?

At 2:57, we see the shotgun; It aint Silver, the render is simply uncolored therefore it is white. Aslo, at this same time in the video you get a very good, but faraway view of the a storyboard.

a clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory

maybe it's a female brute. we haven't really seen too many female aliens. now w/o the elites, the covenant need all the (wo)man power they can get.

Did anyone notice the figure standing WAY far behind the new alien creatures while there are standing in line? Could it be Master Chief?! >.>

I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like. It's got a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good. I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it. Bike-Pink Floyd
92% of teens moved on to rap music. If your part of the 8% that stayed with rock, put this on your sig.

Its not a pistol with a blade, the gun the Elite is holding is a BRUTE SHOT, everyone say it at once BRUTE SHOT, Just couse you see some new armor doesn't mean theres all of a sudden a new rank, weapon or species.

At first I thought it was a Grunt , then I noticed the hight, then I thought it was a Brute but the shape of the head isn't right it looks just like a ELITE. Actually it looks like an updated version of the Jetpack Elites we saw in halo2.

Everyone thought Before Halo 2 came out that it was going to have all this new stuff. When in reality all it really has is a couple major additions, Espeacally XBOX LIVE wich we all Know is just another way of saying CHEATERS!!!!!!!!

oh and another way of saying we who cares if the game has a bunch of problems will just release a buttload of updates after it comes out instead of making a perfect Game with NO CHEATING, All I personally want is an easter egg that will show me there will be NO cheating in halo 3.

and all you people who post in these forums with links to mod sites have complete disrespect for people who made the game BUNGIE wanted you to have not the game YOU wanted bungie to make

I thought about looking back to the Halo 2 Special Edition DVD in the Deleted Cinematics video where they showed and explained the murals/tablets of the Covenant's history.
At 6:01, it shows most if not all the races that joined the covenant. There are six lower races shown here and the first one is? I certainly never found out.

I'm sure some people have "confirmed" what the other races are, I think the second one is Jackal, then the Grunts. The first one on the second line is the Brutes, then the Drones and finaly the Hunters. But I ask again, what is the first species shown in this picture?

I know it can't possibly be the smaller aliens show in the Halo 3 Announcement Trailer Documentary. This figure is larger then any of the other races, even larger then the Brutes based on the scale of the picture. But it is bent over the same way. Honestly I think the aliens shown in the documentary of the trailer may very well be a smaller/remodeled version of this unknown alien on the murals/tablets.
