Yeah, define "Live Action" for me? Were those real kids talking in the grass? I think not, just for the fact that even though CG are astounding nowadays, they have yet to capture what looks like true flesh and blood and this is one of those times where they don't look like real people (as in: they look CG). If the definition of Live Action includes CG, but not gameplay, then I think it fits... otherwise, I'm just not seeing it...

Augh, "That's all well and good Basel, but what does it all mean?"

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

Somebody clear this with me....if the x button became the shield button, then how the hell would you reload your gun before running out of ammo????


all of the X button functions from halo 2 (reload, get into vehicle etc.) are being moved to the RB on the 360 controller.

If you actually read other forums, researched on other websites and were not too busy going around and insulting people randomly and being a waste of forum space, you would see my point. WHOSE THE GENUINE ASS NOW!!!

Just a speculation. Wondering what would happen if the "brute" ( can't really see it clearly) is the arbiter with tartarus's (forgive the spelling error) hammer. That would answer bungie's unknown characteristic of the arbiter. [A betrayer maybe?]

Valence Electron, I also think cortana and the little girl are somehow one and the same. Heres the sequence of dialogue: (little girl) “Do you think we’ll ever meet them?” (little girl) “Time to go” and then Cortana saying “Chief… leave me”. For me, the "time to go" and
"cheif... leave me" is where i made the connection. It could even be john talking to an imaginary friend, his "cortana" before the real cortana was ever even given to him. No one really knows with bungie. They are too clever for most of us even attempt deciphering their messages. I wouldnt be surprised if nothing in this entire thread regarding the storyline is correct. But this is exactly what bungie wanted when they planned this trailer. They wanted us to have halo on our minds 24/7 and its working

Mr Radium

lol to be honest i havent stopped thinking about halo since the announcement trailer was released...bungie owns my brain right now >.< amazingly i still have a 3.6 gpa!..so....yeah im good....
yet again....just a reminder...the master chief doesnt want you talking like you know him...so before he kills you in your sleep....please stafoo

But we're all used to the x button... why the hell change it no!?!?

  • 12.05.2006 10:47 AM PDT

Smurftacular!!!

That's because it's not a 'Warthog'. It looks like it's a 'Mongoose'. BTW the ad was FANTASTIC!!!!!!! I'm salivating the 20th time I've watched it. Great work!


Posted by: colinator6000
right after the chief makes the sheild and stands in that cool crouch stance pause and look at the so called "warthog" its all diffrent the wheels everything check it out

Now you don't have to take you thumb off of the right control stick to reload. It seems like an easier layout to me, but it will be something we will all have to become familiar with. Although, there will probably be the option to change that button layout like there always has been.

Is the Pistol in the trailer the one from halo 1? I think it is. Now as for the X button I'm not sure but I think it makes you run faster or something which could be very cool.

The Halo: CE pistol was silver... that one was black, like the magnum from Halo 2...unless they changed the color, i think its from Halo 2...

I recken its not. Lets view the avaible data and see whats new.

1) ATV
2) New armor
3) New Grenade
4) Brutes upgraded in armor
5) Wraiths might be a new tank, or simply upgraded.
6) MC Rushing

(more, but I can not recall right at this moment)
_____________________________________________________________ ________________

No one has said this yet, so I would like credit if it is true, but has anyone considered that X button is sprinting? Notice how he is not shooting while running, and you see him running really fast. This would change the game pace, and prob in a good way. Its not Hudge, but it is cool sounding and usefull.
Look at Gears of War. sprinting is not a big aspect of the game, but it helps.

Also, has anyone noticed that not only the sound, but the look of the sheild resembles Perfect Dark Zero's Own "explosion proof" Sheild?
-Spike Grenade (like Gears of war)
-sprinting (like GoW)
-Sheild for explosions (Like Pefect Dark Zero)
-Weapons on Back (like GoW)


All were missing now is a Map editter and we have ourselves another HL2. (only with a better story and MP)

Not saying Bungie is being non-inovative, but it seems that bungie is looking at others success, and intergrating it and adding there own inovation twist to it. Thats what I like to see. So props to bungie.

Spartan 2424:
"The Halo: CE pistol was silver... that one was black, like the magnum from Halo 2...unless they changed the color, i think its from Halo 2... "

That doesn't mean that much because: The wraiths were deep purple in the first Halo, but in Halo2 thay are an odd shade of grey that looked blue or off-purple sometimes.


By the way this is my first post. :D

I don't know if anyone thinks the same as me, but I have watched this trailer several times now... and obviously I guess the master chief is the boy, what about the girl... my opinion is that she is cortana, I reckon that the master chief and her had a relationship before the original Halo. I think that maybe their duty as soldiers got in the way and something happened to cortana that made here the holographic image that she is. It would help to explain the mystery about the way cortana and the mast chief act as they do in halo and 2. I think this also because at the end of halo 2 cortana is left with the grave mind maybe the master chief will disobye orders and attempt to rescue cortana as this would shred light on their relationship. Obviously this is purely my speculation but after playing the previously 'Halo's' I think this would be a good way for the story to go. What do you guys think?

Oh ok, well I havn't read the books... ok mabye that girl will reapear in Halo 3. Also one thing ive always wanted to see (goodness knows why) is the master cheift without his helmat on. I've always wanted to know what does he actualy look like. Plus the pistol i think is from the original Halo. I think we have seen the last of the covenant though I think its going to be more of a battle against the brutes and the flood.
