this is from someone elses post about he graphic novel and contains GREAT hints as to what
will appear in Halo 3.

HGN SPOILERS BELOW

on Second Sunrise over New Mombasa the aliens (elites, brutes, some type of new alien) in the comic are in a strange armor that have spikes on the top of their heads. A brute looking one commands them with a metallic staff.

It is learned that ONI controls the media and makes it look that UNSC is winning the war against The Covenant.

The main character; a photographer shouts to his superior "We need to clear this area before we can secure access to The Ark." This undoubtly proves that Forerunner structure in the Halo 3 Trailer is The Ark and that ONI knows of it's existence.

The photographer is told by his superior to get the recording out of the city. Whoever is in the recording is unknown along with what the actually message is. But it is known that the photographer gives the recording to a little girl fleeing the city by boat.

The Comic ends with "This is the first day of the end of the world."

In a gallery photo by a Bungie artist it shows a layout of Halo's Human weapons which include the old pistol, the new pistol, an unchanged Sniper Rifle, a totally new looking shotgun, (full view on pg. 115) the Assault Rifle, the BR, the smg, a silenced smg, a new version of the Rocket Launcher, and finally the Flamethrower.

These weapons could easily appear in Halo 3

No, an Elite shouts that, not the photographer. The photographer simply is recording/translating it.

you have to buy the book to see it. There are probably scans out there but are hard to find.

I haven'nt bought the book yet but will do so eventually. I recomend buying the book its gotten rave reviews, its 128 pages long and has hitns of whats to come in halo 3.

It doesnt have hints of halo 3!!! the new mombasa story is before halo 2 and when they saided sucure the ark he was translating the elite. the things with the spikes are elites. the recording was the thing about the ark and the shotgun is the same.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

And unless Bungie or Marvel give the OK to release scans (or release them themselves) it is NOT ok to put them up yourself or distribute them.

I would be quite surpirsed (and thankful) if bungie actually did have the flamethrower in Halo 3. A couple of the bungie artists said that they really tried to get it into Halo 2, but couldn't balance it with the other weapons. To me, it would be a welcome addition to Halo 3.

Hmm, HGN does sound good. I might try and pick it up after i've finished First Strike.

I noticed them too, they didnt go over the book enough and have left some spelling mistakes and editorial mistakes like on the page that has abit of info about old bungie comics and stuff it says that martys pic is in the gallery when its nowhere to be found and then when it shows peoples letters to bungie the second word on the intro the the letters says 'out' rather than 'our' but still enjoyed it and i also gotthe last one in the only comic book store that has it yet in my city (in the UK).

A silenced SMG would kick ass beyond reason. It would also make it differnt from the AR, thusly creating a reson to keep it in.
