Before Halo 2 actualy came out, Wallpapers were released...and one of them was entitled "Desert Brigade".

This has possibly been noted before, but notice the Spartan's armour...

Direct-Link (1600x1200)

Wallpaper Link
(Bottom right Picture)

Any ideas or theories...?

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

This looks like Halo 3.

At least to me.

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

The armor there looks exactly like the one from the trailer. That must of been before they realized the XBox couldn't handle that much power and cut all of the Earth levels.

It's just a tan set of armor that was created for a wallpaper.. It's not the same "Halo 3 Armor".

Mmm, maybe they based a model of the master chief off that image, and used as a place holder in the trailer, and they actually have not revealed the Master Chief's new armor.

No, it's really not, the armor the Master Chief is wearing in the Halo 3 Trailer has no bullet holes at all, and the hand armor is different also.

I have got to say that it looks more llike something I would expect in H3. The armor looks more tan, the detail and texture is impressive, and he is self shadowing which is a new feature for H3. I am not sure that it means anything. I think it might simply show us that bungie has been working on H3 since H2 came out.

I love how selective recall works.

You remember that we released a wallpaper, but you do not remember that we specifically pointed out that it was made by a contractor who as her going away present to Bungie and the fan base, and the "look" was chosen by members of her seventh column group, and did not relate in any way, shape, or form, to anything canon.

Was anyone here from when they were making Halo 2? Well if anyone remembers the Halo 2 trailer demo, then they will know what I'm saying.

The reason that the stuff from the Mombasa H2 trailer were not in the game was becasue a regular Xbox could not run it, for it needed way to much processing power. I believe that was another level from this original version of H2 and it had to be cut cause it needed to much processing power.

Heh, well it was worth a shot at least. I doubt at that time i was interested in reading the WWUs... i do now though...

By the way, I'm honoured to speak to you.

Whoops, thanks Shiska.

I guess none of us knew what we were talking about. It might've ended up with some of us yelling at each other cause we think we're right but we're not.

Bungie already said that Halo 3 has been in prgress since Halo 2's release.

Actually, Halo 1 and Halo 2 had self shadow and lighting for all objects. In Halo 3, they will have specular lighting.
