I want to call it the Combat Rifle in Halo 3...





And I don't mean Halo 1 and 2 were all a dream, I just used the "Sorry for the quick thaw, Master Chief" line as a generic waking up line.

There was a dream sequence level in Oni, about halfway through. It's clear that it's a dream, though, and it's only one level. It's a great level, at one point you fight mini-enemies, and another point the main character (Konoko) ends up fighting herself.

Hm, in the trailer, I thought it was
Cortana : What if we miss?
MC: _I_ won't.
but I could be wrong.

"heres why Bungie even stated that this was acually 1/3 of the way in the game. So no its not a dream."

wow i cant even reply to the stupidity


I want to try...

So, it's 1/3 into the game, meaning it can't be a dream?

Oh, I must have missed the Weekly update where they revealed all humans and Spartans lose the ability to dream in the first third of the game.

Nope, not scathing enough.

Anyone else want to take a crack at it?


I'll give it a go...

Right, so... you mean because it's a third of the way through the game... something about you being an idiot... spartans can't dream?... stupidity?... nonsensical?...

No. I can't do it. It's too daft. It's just a very, very silly comment and I'm sure he or she is feeling very embarassed right now.

Well, you gave it a shot...



So Bungie has had a dream sequence in a game before?

Yes, in Oni. But you knew it was a dream, because things were all 'blury' (sic).

I have just got a new theory on the Halo 3 trailer!!!!!! This is what must have happened okay in Halo 2 the Covenent prophet regret (or whatever his name was) made a jump into lightspeed right? well it also said he would destory the city. Well here is the big thing when they made the jump they unearthed something something "Forerunner." You notice when Master chief stands on the edge of the cliff a road sort of to his left. Well maybe the ark was underneath the city? To further back up my theory there is the roadsign which does not mean "Grunt crossing" it is a simple road sign that survived the blast.




So that means that the covenant has taken over the life on earth?

I think it's possible that halo 3 could have a dream sequence in it. I don't think the trailer represents a dream sequence, though. The outrage would be tremendous, and Bungie (I would think) knows that. There was the whole 'Dallas' fiasco, for example. You don't have people invest their thought and emotions into a tv series, a movie, or a game like Halo, and then say, 'oh, it wasn't real'. However, as someone has pointed out, it's possible that what appears in the trailer won't exactly appear in the game, with both the trailers for Halo 2 being good examples (the jumping trailer, and the extended trailer in New Mombasa). For one thing, I would expect the Banshees to be filled with pilots. :)

I know what you're trying to say, but, uhh, none of it is real.

...it is plausible. Given that Bungie has used it before, it's possible. It is likely? IMHO, no. But my opinions aren't real, in the sense that they don't matter.
What I'm saying is the discrepencies you see in the trailer probably won't be discrepencies in the game.

Every time a church bell rings Mr T Pities a fool

Bobby Ewing wakes up in the shower. THE WHOLE OF HALO( 1+ 2) WAS ANOTHER MAD CRAZY DREAM LIKE HIS SHOOTING. Queue music, Halo 3 turns out to be an Oil Tycoon sim game.

Perfect.

Yeah.



I just hope that there is a dream sequence in Halo 3, because if there is, I get something from the Bungie store off a guy I talked to at HBO.

Two words:

Dream sequence.

It fits, doesn't it?

From what I've learned about Bungie in the short time I've known them, they're all about layers.

Think about it, when Halo 3 comes out, you get to the level where this cutscene starts playing immediately after the loading screen, then you get to the end, it starts to fade out, and...

"Sorry for the quick thaw, Master Chief."

This would explain all the mash-ups in the video, the Assault Rifle-looking gun and the Mark VI type-armor with the fancy new gloves, the Covenent ships that don't seem to care about 117, and even the Grunt Crossing sign.

When I dream, crazy stuff like that happens all the time.

Is this plausible?


What? Dream sequence? What are you guys talking about? Wait...Are you saying that the MC is dreaming or something? Someone clarify...I gotta get the Halo books for more reference. Mark VI? Fancy gloves? I can't tell the difference. I must be stupid or something. How did the MC dream about his Mark VI armor when he's frozen? "Sorry for the quick thaw, Master Chief." How did that pop out? Someone help me out here. But really, what does dream sequence mean?

I Recently(yesterday) had the newest issue of OXM ship in. What do you think the cover story was about? This topic. OXM and Bungie had a meeting to discuss the trailer for every little flea they could pick out'a that cutscene. Bungie announces(to them) that this is an actual cutscene. That everything our eyes see is real(in H3). They asked Bungie about the Grunt-crossing-sign, and Bungie, of course, gave a snyde remark that had nothing to do with the sign. Easter Egg? I think so. The "rings" in the backround are the transport sytem' debris from the slip-space-rupture in H2 from when the Prophet "Bugged out" and flew off.
I can't remember anything about the small complex chief walked through, but Bungie hints at the idea of Humans being ForeRunner. That's why 343's "Reclaimer" line is making sense allof'a sudden.I predict that we will later find out what the HUGE cannon was in that crater o' Earth. Is Earth a Halo Spinoff? I once again think so.Bungie really knows how to make a good story/Prophecy! All I'm hoping for out'a that new AR is that it will SHRED covenent with insane ROF and awesome controller vibration for when I mow'm down too!

lol

Some people just dont get it.

The MC is not dreaming about the WHOLE FREEKING GAME! Hes just dreaming about the time that is the tralier, and when the ark goes off "Sorry for the quick thaw, Master Chief" - comes in Cortana. MasterChief wakes up, and realieses hes just dreamt about what was shown in the teaster tralier. And the camera zooms out and there is MasterChief been knocked out on Earth when he jumped off Truth's ship or something.

You see?

- The above is just an example on how it comes back into thegame.

It can't be a dream! Cortana is still in High Charity with Gravemind! How could she just appear on earth? Though the part where Cortana is giving her line in the trailer will probably be taken out in the real thing.Oh and if you look closely in the backround of the cannon scene you can still see buildings. So yeah, it seems strange, but it's not likely to be a dream.

Who ever said Cortana said "Sorry for the quick thaw?"

As stated above, I just used that as a generic wakeup line.

Oh, and, apparently the glove parts of his armor in the trailer are different from Halo 2.

I didn't see it, but that's what everybody says.

Tell me about it.




Oh, and to whoever asked what a dream sequence was, it's a scene in a movie, television show, book, video game, what have you, that turns out to be a dream.
