Oh yeh, the commercial sucked. 30 secs of garbage, maybe more followed by 5 seconds of decent stuff.

I heard a minute, expected to see something cool, but did not. Why would MC jump into a pile of brutes? He would die. If one almost killed him I think 10 could.

COME ON BUNGIE

Like "betcha can't stick it" they never finished that. MC would die against 5 plasma sword elites when he is right next to them... so dumb...

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

But, didn't the brutes start to back away?

And there is one way to evade the elites. Do a grenade jump right as they lunge at you, that way they hit each other.

i just wanted to be cool and have a sig like everyone else

Ok this is my take on the commercial

The kids are just two kids on earth wondering if there are others out in the universe, and the scream is symbolizing the fear people had when the covenant arrived, and where the master chief is is were the kids were at before the covenant got there

yes, thats a very true possibility because in the scene when they are looking at the sky, you see what looks like wrath mortar fire in the top left.

Those "kids" are John a.k.a MC and kelly his friend-That scream- i think was a human rocket.
And the kids were in grassland b4,then it goes to dessert area, i dont think it was the same area.

Well, the grass looks kinda the same, so why not take it as those kids being hit by the mortar fire in the same spot the chief lands and is knocked out

When the Wrath mortars fired they completely destroyed the area, or the covenant tried to glass the planet.

its not the same area, when mc and kelly are in the grass it shows a view of mountains, then were the chief started to sprint, i see no mountains, I see the giant gorge he stared down into from the first trailer. if you look in the sky right before chief jumps, you can see the same cloud from the trailer also.

Yea I see the mountains but, maybe it is a different viewpoint.

Here is a map:

new mombassa
I
V
kids/MC gets up
I
V
ARK
I
V
Mountains

If you look very closely in the E3 Trailer you see the mountains beyond the ARK.

I thought in the E3 vid chief was walking though what was new mombassa and then he got to the ARK... Not sure though.

yes,

New Mombassa is say the furthest north thing, followed by where the kids/ Master chief was in both trailers then south of that is the ARK and south of that is the mountain range being discussed.

ok so my belief is that the kids are just a memory of him and his friend.. and to the genius thats dissing the fact that he could die should go die himself. its a commercial ment to bring for people into the game..(duh?)

bungie i have to give u props on this commercial. as soon as i saw it i got goose bumps.

maybe the shield can be turned off by you or when it takes a certain amount of damage it goes away like the master cheifs own energy shield

I think the commercial rocked!!!! I read someones post thats said there is going to be a new type of grenade and you can only hold 2 each. I think the new grenade is going to be that shield that MC threw into the ground in the commercial. I think the grenade will prob be unbreakable by anything and have a 3-5 sec activate and hold in place time limit. I only wonder 2 things about this. 1- I wonder if these sheild grenades will replace the oversheilds. and 2- I wonder if these grenades can be thrown long distance like plasma and frags or if it'll be some sort of movie type action like when you steal a ghost.But its you throwing it into the ground like in the commercial. Mabey they will be activaded with the white button kinda like the arbitors cloak in H2. I just wanted to point out that then you see those 2 kids I'm pretty sure its John (MC) and Kelly or the other one.Linda? I mean why would a shell shocked MC daydream about 2 random kids?This is all just things that have been running though my head just wanted to see what you guys and girls though.All and all the one thing we can be sure about is this game is gnna ROCK!!!!...Mabey not the white button I just forgot about the team chat on live soo yeah but anyway mabey the sheild woulnt be in multi or mabey in the game at all who knows?

i don't know if any one else noticed this, but the brutes seem to be running from MC when he jumps off the edge...they're brutes, why would they run, unless the MC has already done something to freak them out

also...did you see how the vehicle behind MC changes from a Worthog to a Mongoose?

If you were a brute and MC just killed your leader the "mighty" Prophet of Regret, wouldn't you run. I sure as hell would. MC has a pretty big rep among the Covenant for pwning ass.

OIE, STFU FOR A SEC AND LISTEN TO SUM 1 WHOSE READ THE BOOKS AND COLLECTED ALL THE VERSIONS OF THE GAME AND PLAYED/READ THEM AT LEAST 50 TIMES EACH, IVE WATCHED THAT MOVIE LIKE 30 TIMES NOW

first of all.... the boy and the gurl are indeed jhon and kelly, seccond when you c the helmet in the grass its b/c MC has just been knocked ta frick upside the head and is having a bit of a passout dream, he wakes up and puts the helmet back on, when he does this you clearly view a WARTHOG directly o his left sholder, when he throws doen the shield grenade if you notice directly to his left again is the vehicle, he HASNT MOVED HIS FOOTING, THE VEHICLE IS NOW A MONGOOSE, WTF!!!, bad screw up there bungie, but anyway moving on, when he jumps over the ledge into the group of SEEMINGLY ELITES, those are not ELITES, elites are much thinner and stand about a foot taler than a brute, the enemy in the center is a brute however. the enemy you see standing around him are not brutes, there wearing heavy armor, first .. brutes dont wear armor and second they arnt hunched over like a brute the posture is all wrong, this species in infact a NEW species of covenant eneme, unless DRONES decided heavy armor is the new shell and decided it was cool to wear it.


in conclusion
bungie you screwed up on one thing there, they boy and gurl in the feild are indeed jhon and kelly resting in the grassy feild on reach, OR a personal idea of mine is that the gurl may be jhons unanounced sister and the planet there on is infact jhons home planet and this moment takes place b4 jhon was chosen for the S2 program, there is a really sweet new grenade, we can expect to see some new armor on MC - the gloves are different and the helmet is different, and in ghost of onix MC get new armor, we can expect to see some new enemies and a shat load of awsome desert levels and new wraiths, also expect some new "brute ghosts" an upgrade from the 'ghost"

thank you thank you
i hope to get some good detailed feedback on the post, get to it, i want auchual facts from the books and games and quotes from the editors and the collectors dvd and crud like that, if you aint got facts then dont try to foil my prediction and interpretation of this clip, i know it all.....well almost all of it....im still second guessing on the sister thing...

I dont know why no one else has realized that the two kids are both boys. my guess is it's John and Sam, maybe shortly after the spartan program started, and maybe they snuck out to watch the stars. if you read the books, you know that John would have done that sort of thing, just cause he could.

Also, everyone keeps saying that the boy who was on the same side that the helmet was on was John; i dont think so. why would he be looking at the helmet and seeing himself? my guess is that was Sam, and John was the other one.

another interesting thing, if you listen closely (yeah, like you guys HAVENT caught this yet) you can hear Sam say "time to go" as cheif puts on his helmet. then cortana calls out "chief, leave!". as for the scream, i'm pretty sure that's him fading back to consciousness. he hears a missle, but because he's still dreaming, he thinks its the kid he's talking to.

as for jumping into the midst of a bunch of enemies....when has he NOT done that? there's a big fear factor tied to the chief; he's killed a prophet, materialized in the middle of the capitol city, and hey, lets not forget they actually think he's a DEMON. plus, we dont know what the new armor he's wearing is capable of. for all we know, it might be designed to take the kind of punishment that fourteen brutes can dish out.

and for anyone who thinks that parts of the trailer have no meaning, consider this. do you honestly think bungie didnt think the whole thing through? that every single image shown didnt have a deeper meaning? i think everything they did was intentional. i could be wrong, but knowing bungie, i dont think i am.

let me know if you think i'm wrong. Bungie is giving us plently of time to mull this over before we actually get to find out for sure.

Dude, the two kids are infact Master Chief, little johnny and either Kelly or Linda or perhaps Cassandra, because of the age of the kids its hard to tell the gender but the voice gives it away. The reason they both look like boys is because on Reach they al got the same uniform and even the girls got their hair cut to a short length. I find it hard to belive that in the the Halo universe all children are forced to dress alike in their free time, they are early spartans. Otherwise I think youre pretty dead on.
P.s Sam was always bigger than John, he was the strongest spartan, the other child in the vid is alot smaller than john.

The Chief's Covenant equivalent physically is the Brute. He could quiet easily stick the plasma, then jump like 10 meters into the air, then run 'n gun.

It is the same area, and those kids, while not necessarily John and/or Kelly, are SPARTAN's. Near the end of that sequence, the helmet is lying in the grass at night with the kids. This can easily be interpreted as them being SPARTAN's that are nearing the end of training, and their taking a break from their suits. When it switches to the desert, its the exact same place. There is a lack of grass because its a freaking war zone.
