I think the picture at the end is just saying that the reason "Halo Movie" info was canceled was because of maybe a re-shoot or something. Like... Shooting range, you know. They're maybe redoing some of the stuff that was going to be in the Update, so they had to cancel it last minute... Dunno, might sound stupid, might not, but it doesn't matter what you all think! :-D

Chief obviously has a new suit in the trailer. You can see some small details in the armor that weren't in Halo 2, and that's not because of the graphics. In my opinion, that desert colored armor looks 'cooler' anyways.

No weapons are confirmed yet, to be honest. In a previous update, Frankie talks about loving the Assault Rifle, but also mentions that it isn't guaranteed to be in the game. Thus meaning that none of the weapons that he's used is guaranteed. Still, it's safe to say that the AR, Shotgun, Carbine, and both Sniper Rifles will return to the series. I think it's also safe to say that the Ghost, Banshee, Worthog, and Scorpion Tank will return.

As for the "shooting Grunts" part, that's a bit more complicated. For all we know, some Grunts have not joined the rebellion (mentioned by another poster before me) or later the Grunts and the rest of the rebelling team gain back their 'dignity' and decide to go back to their prior beliefs of despising humans and use their 'superior' weaponry. Besides, having Elites and Hunters on your team might seem to make things a lot easier, unless Brutes decide to wear that Energy Shield. Who knows, only Bungie. We'll just need to wait for either more updates or the game ^_^

Anyways, once again, great update, and for the fans, KEEP WISHING FOR SCREENSHOTS, MAYBE BUNGIE WILL PLEASE US WITH SOMETHING :-D

+Edit:
Okay, I just had to add this because I went back up and read some more of peoples posts. I realized that so many people are unaware that the Covenant Rebellion did NOT team up with the Master Chief, nor anyone else that wasn't there at Delta Halo. The only Human help that the Rebellion recieved was from, like, two surviving Marines, Sergeant Johnson, and Miranda Keyes. For all we know, the Rebellion would've killed the Humans too, but didn't because the Sarge was already in control of the Scarab.
By the way, that foot in the picture wasn't from the Desert Brigade picture. There is no foot pointing down in that. If anything, its from the one where he's holding the "fully-automatic" Battle Rifle. It's a really old picture.
interesting notions. while i can believe certain groups here and there may forgo their species' overall alliance, i believe most are set on their leaders' positions in the conflict. other marines survive the little battle tryst at the scarab, and remain untouched. after tartarus dies, does anyone make a move for sarge or keyes? no. it may be an uneasy alliance, but an alliance no less. question is, will the delta halo forces go for earth, or launch a campaign against high charity? seek out the other rings? wage war against covenant homeworlds supporting Truth?

dunno meself, but it's fun to ponder.

Obviously they were golfing, but maybe, just maybe they were working on a new gametype? Say, Halo golf? like soccer or golf in multiplayer on the first halo on bloodgulch? i don't know but i'm sure, as always, bungie is up to something...

Get up so I can kill you again!

Hey. Didn't Bungie mention some time ago about a hilarious new gamemode for the online play? Could that be the golf thing? Or would that be too silly? I mean, c'mon...it's a serious FPS we're talking about here. But it sounds like fun...maybe they should make a Halo Arcade game for the XBLA. Like minigolf or a side scrolling halo or whatever. I'd give my Microsoft Points for it.

Hope to be seing some pictures soon. Haven't been any new screenshots after E3. Like a flood thing...man they must be looking pretty darn nasty in HD. But back to the new gameplay mode that's in MP I guess....what do u think it is? Well it could be so much...difficult to guess..

Seems that I, myself, have forgotten some details myself ^_^ Well, the fact that the Rebellion did not harm the humans does make things more interesting, and the Rebellions next path is so unpredictable as of now. It is indeed fun to ponder :-D

Great Update i have a few things to say though....First off why is everyone so suprised theyre bringing back the carbine??? also why were you using the carbine where u maybe THE ARBITER because he sucks as a playable character or maybe you were using the carbine because the BR has been replaced by the crappy AR because too many noobs get bxr'd in the face and complain about it hmm hmm....also if some of you were TRUIE fans of Halo youd be excited by ANY tidbit about Halo 3 even if it were just confirming that the master chief is still sage and youd also be EXCITED about information about the Novels i personally LOVE the novels i mean where else are you going to learn that captain keyes was actually there when Master Chief aka Spartan 117 aka John was chosen to participate in the spartan II program i mean learning about their training and everything they had to go through to become spartans is awesome(even with the losses of some of the chiefs comrades during the augmentations) also about the halo movie dont be so dissapointed about the lack of information i mean the movie is way farther off then Halo 3 and look at the limited info we are getting on it.....i am slightly shaken that the director is going to have the Halo Movie be his first REAL project...Hopefull he hes like the next steven spielberg but anyways sorry about my rant it will most likely either get me blacklisted or get edited and contain 3 words those words being "Halo is awesome" lol sry had a geek moment( even though i sense many people will think i have normal moments and the rest of my life is filled with geekdom)but yea sorry again if i think of anything else ill edit my post heh
Dang u rite alot

Dude this could have been the first update for all I know. At this point it makes absolutely no -blam!- sense to hide information. In order to hype the -blam!- out of your game like you did with Halo 2 you at least need to show something. Its just -blam!- stupid at this point.

You're wrong. The picture is from the desert MC, the foot is even at the same angle, same color, and even the same pattern of weathering, it has just been reversed. So there.

I was just sitting here thinking "Are there others like me who spent $412.00 on a game system for one game, Halo 3?" Not an expensive flat screen, not on a big block of herbal remedy, not bills to lower my credit card debt, just a high powered game machine. Thankfully my Educational Institution allowed such items as the 360 to be charged to a student account. Now what to do about the bill?

Writing a huge update like that it's hard not to make at least one typo. Gosh, people not something that matters leave the poor man alone.

i'd be funny if you guys could have the covenant say "tokyo rose"-type insults...you know stuff that is meant to really demoralize the enemy but is ironically funny due to the fact that they dont understand our culture..something like "Your family finds its origin in excriment!" coming from the noble baritone of an elite during the heat of battle
