I think I understand what happened...ok, it was kind of out of sequence and was sorta wrong but here it goes. Basically it was saying that MC and Kelly we're in the same field that he now is battling at and he was always wondering, maybe I can go up there somtime and meet some creatures, but in reality he met some that want to kill him. The thing that is wrong about that is this, he was never on earth untill the war if I am correct, so how was he there when he was a kid, he was raised on reach untill keys and the halsey came and took him to a training center to become a spartan. But helkl yes the trailer was kick ass! Graphics are great and did you see when he jumps from the hill, the friggin elites know their place, they ran away! GREAT JOB BUNGIE!




PS

That was Master Chief and Kelly there so it did start with him, just a kid version. In the books it explains. His name is John BTW and the girl was Kelly a friend of his.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

I bet a lot of people, along with me, didn't start their capture cards in time because of the strange beginning

I was expecting to be capturing in 720p hd from espn, but instead, it was severely letterboxed, which was kind of disappointing

oh well, it was still a great commercial

soo excited


It was severely letterboxed in 16:9 format, leading me (and others) to think that ESPN forgot to "flip the switch." All other xbox 360 commercials are in HD, so this had to have been a mistake, and what a mistake it was. Spectacular!

HOLY CRAP!!!! the x button is a sheild?????????


Thats what I think too.

THAT WAS F'N SWEET. a little unexpected in the beginning though. I was sitting there waiting and I see the two little kids and think oh another car add, then oh -blam!- thats the MC's helmet. WTF pay attention. Then there were too many explosions for me to keep up with it until he put his helmet back on. anyways, cool trailer.


Wait so what happend? I totally missed the beginning, because I had the TV turned down as i was on the computer until commercials started, and when I noticed the lack of sport-iness, I turned, saw some kid in the grass, and thought it wasn't it.....then realized it wasn't real, and that the graphics were to good to be anything but.....*BIGG EXPLOSION* OMGWTFBBQ??? *Runs to TV and turns it up*

Yeah.......so I dunno what they said....

Amazing. Did you see that shield grenade? The X button is probably not the function that will throw a shield grenade. That seems wrong on too many levels. I doubt Bungie will even include that in the game because he was stationary the whole time and it looked like the grenade's field wasn't going to move witrh him.

Any ideas where this took place? Earth? If anyone has anymore details, share them all onw.

  • 12.04.2006 6:38 PM PDT

-Pyro

YAY!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS SO FREAKING AWESOME...

My life now has a meaning however... is the X button the sheild because that would be so freaking amazing? I love the commercial so awesome... I need more... more... more Halo 3... As soon as the beginning started I knew that it was Halo because it was talking about other life forms in outer Space... and then Master Cheif appears without his helmet... but you don't see his face... then he puts it on... then he picks up the shotty... then he gets shot at... then there was that awesome sheild... and then he jumped into the big crowd of creatures... and then... and then... and then......................................................... ......................................... there was another commercial...


I LOVE YOU BUNGIE... AND HALO 3...

The commercial was astonishing, I am speechless. Beautifully detailed and thrills with so many questions of suspense. Halo 3 will truly be a great accomplishment by Bungie. I eagerly await its release.

Dude the link is broken

This one works
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo3/20061204-trailer-star rynight.htm

Alright: Major ObservationS:
The chief was driving a Mongoose ATV (not a warthog) when he was hit by Covenant mortars from new covenant tanks. They are different in design from Wraiths, which means the Covies changed them or designed a new tank.

Second, those 'elites' that we are all seeing? they are brutes. all of them. There is a Brute leader in the center rearing back to hit the MC, but cmon, he is the MC.

There is a nuke in the background, and it signifies a Human presence. Earth?

Just look at the realness of him. He finally is real almost.

ESPN DID NOT RUN THE AD IN HIGH DEFINITION. WAS THIS A MISTAKE? IT IS ALMOST 2007. WHO DROPPED THE HD BALL?


Relax, I'm sure it'll be available in ridiculously large format on xbox live tomorrow.
