Subject: More clues in the trailer - the music

Not sure if discussed before, but I love reading everyone's theories and things they found in the trailer. In a recent X-box magazine article, there is an exclusive article on Halo 3 and they interviewed Bungie. They gave away a few cool things. One was that the flashes seen in the helmet are just flashes from the ships/sky not some things pointed out on here awhile back.

One cool thing was that they asked about other things in the trailer that might of been overlooked. He said that no one has really discussed yet the music as having potential clues and elluded to the fact that it does. He said has anyone really "Listened" to the music in surround sound? Hmmm, I wonder what is in it. Has anyone focused on the music. Maybe there are sounds we are overlooking.

Ladies and gents--you here that? Are we recording this? Flashes on helmet=flashes frm lightning.

Now, I'm not one to look for clues in teaser trailers, but I must say, the surround sound thing does seem interesting.

How much can music really tell you besides the mood? I don't think any clue the music might actually give is that big a deal

I'm no expert but it could be multiple things. Such as voices that say something in only one of the channels of the surround sound (thus why surround sound is so great). Could be sounds of ships, could be sounds of creatures in the game, something from another Halo game. Could be sound from a weapon, etc. A lot could happen in there that would give us more information on what is coming in Halo 3. The music can have a LOT of sounds in it, not just music and mood. Heck, someone might say something, maybe something responds to Cortana but it is only in the right rear speaker, could be anything. He pointed it out for a reason.

I have already thought of this. Although there was no differance when I listened to it on surround sound, I will go and listen to it again. There is however something in the music Bungie has already pointed out, 7 blazing trumpets of truimph. Where does this go back to... hate to break it to some, but it is the Bible. In Revelations (End of the World), everything happens in 7's. Coincidence, I think not.

Well the closest thing to musical clues in the halo 2 vol 2 soundtrack. The last song is called the Road To Voi, and Voi is in Africa and very close to Mombasa.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrr.......could it be Graveminds voice in the background apeaking with Cortana when she talks. the easiest time to hear him is when she says " I have defied Gods and Demons". Graveminds voice is there.....

Ah, look at the lonely people...

Is the trailer even in 5.1?

If it is, somebody posted the most logical occurance; there's something going on in one of the channels.

Has it got something to do with playing it backwards? Some people think that cortana is saying stuff backwards in the distorted bits.

I dont think it says anything backwards because you could make her words backwards say anything. But I agree, maby wen u listen to it on xbox 360 in surround blasting, maby you can hear sumetin.

listen to the end of the first to things cortana says. its sounds like someone is speaking through her. which could mean someone is controling her. And the voice you hear sounds like the graveminds voice.

What is the music going to reaveal though, I think that the surround sound would give a clue to those with an X Box 360 and Surround Sound.

You know when you first se Chief come out of the dust, and the piano comes in. It's very calm just a little to calm from what I understand. Could this mean piece of is it just an intro to the song? Who would know?
