my thoughts:
first off, bungie i won't congratulate you since you didnt make the ad, but i will say nice job on choosing which things to show. and nice assistance with the company that did make it..
secondly, it actually looks very real at the beginning. the grass that they are laying in looks pretty real to me. the body movements are pretty close to real.. the only part i noticed (ALOT) was when he is running for the edge of the cliff his 2nd to 4th step doesnt look real at all. other than that, if this game looks anything close to the ad, its definetly next-gen.
the tanks are the same old wraiths, just some lights on the front. the brutes looked like normal brutes to me, and the one in the middle (with armor) was the big brute with the huge hammer thing.. i think a "new breed" of brutes is a little rediculous. but i could be wrong. im not looking into it as deep as some people on here, but i did notice something: cortana in the begining is saying "chief, leave me." That totally reminds me of that level in halo2 where she tells him to leave her behind so she can destroy that halo or whatever.
for some reason at the end, when he is jumping and it shows a bottom angle, those lines in the sky really stand out..
i dont think there will be a "sprint" function, imagine trying to snipe someone, it would be oober hard with them sprinting all over the screen. i also dont think that grenade can be used in matchmaking on halo3, maybe just the campaign. a 'shield grenade" would make gameplay pretty horrible since its already rediculous how i have to beat someone down 3 times to kill em.
on a side note, i hope halo3 is ALOT more realistic than halo 2 is now.
other than that... this commercial was too short. and bungie is givin us all blueballs for making us wait this long and then teasing us with a few new pictures here and there, and then giving us 43 seconds of the actual master chief. we demand alot, and bungie seems to keep giving us the bare minimum.. but ill be thankfull for what they DO show :)
