Last night the xbox.com forums were insane (beyond insane.) There were 280 people viewing it at one point. The two pinned forums I had (one about beta and one about the commercial) had 12,000 views a piece and 600 replys in about one hour. Not including the people who started their own threads. I would have been on here, but it was obviously worse since the forums here go shut-down. I liked the Q and A with Frankie, Frankie's a hard ass.

i cant stop watching either man
and i just found out that that scene takes place before the chief discovers
"the structure" that was shown to us from the first E3 halo 3 trailer. You can see the big swirling clouds and mountains in the back and it looks like thats where the chief is headed. I wanted to see action like this (cheif running and chaos everywhere) in the previous games and i guess now my wish has come true. Nice work

hey i just figured somehting out. what if the thing that was opened in the trailer sent the master cheif flying through the air and landing him where we see him the the commercial. then knocking off his helmet ."talk amongst your selves"

TO THE NEIGHBOR'S!!!

What in the world happen that would knock Johns helm off? Imagination rampant.

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

He was on his way to the ARK in a hog and got hit by a Wrath mortar.

Heck, you should be moved to head of Marketing, way to schlep your product.


I'm not doing it because I'd ever seen a penny from the book sales, because I wouldn't, nor am I told to pimp our products at random. I linked him to them because he might actually be interested in the story and those three books are one hell of a good start. The alternative is me just telling him everything he wants to know about the Halo universe, which doesn't really seem fair to either him or me.

CHIEF LOOKED TO GOOD, EVERYTHING FROM HIS ARMOR TO THE MOTION OF HIS BODY. BY THE WAY, WHO DOES MC THINK HE IS CHARGING INTO A COVENANT FLEET ALONE LIKE THAT! HATS OFF TO BUNGIE AND CREATORS FOR FULLFING MY IMAGE OF CHIEF.


Well, if I had an M6D pistol back in my hands, there would definately be NO foe or fleet of Covenant that would or could even try to stop me no matter how many there were!

Please let there be a God out there and allow us the "Originality" of what made Halo such an Epic game and still played at Lan and Online @ XBC for over 4 years now, and that would be the M6D Pistol!

Just wanted to add, "I Think"(Opinion) that the MC was knocked out so hard obviously his helmet came flying off, in his "DAZE" of unconsciousness, he is struck with a backflash memory that even he is unsure as to exactly what that memory is? I guess that Knock to the head jarred something loose, MC dreaming of being a Kid and what it means to "LIVE" as a Human being, is just a huge ass reason for him to pick his ass up, put his helmet on and "FINISH THE DAMN FIGHT"............................. for all Humanity!!!!!!

BLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking about it and maybe the shield grenade thing was that new forerunner technology that the other spartans were looking for in the core of Onyx. just a thought

darn it, I keep forgetting that sarcasm doesn't transmit over the internet...

Anyway, it was a joke, And I would have posted the same link had I gotten there first. Sorry for any distress I may have caused.

Anybody notice the, "Heart Shape," in the grass??? This could symbolize something of importance to the MC. Was the girl his childhood crush??? Is it somebody that he cares alot about......I say yes.

It's gotta be John as a little boy, b/c if it wasn't I'd hate to think that the MC dreams about little boys. It was a flashback to his childhood. As for the little girl who knows? It could be Kelly, but I'm not so sure. We know that it's somebody that he once knew very well (he wouldn't lay down w/ a stranger).

I have said before that MC will not be able to FINISH THE FIGHT all by himself. Him & the Arbiter need help (who's to say the Arbiter will help him?!) Will the Forerunners make a return & put an end to the conflict themselves???

I say that early on in the game in some of the early levels, we will play as another Spartan (a woman spartan). I believe it will be a huge shocker. Player's will think that they are the MC & somehow we will all find out that that's not the case. Bungie could do this in a variety of way's. They could reveal the identity of the spartan by showing her face, letting her speak, ect. Just as we get comfy, BOOM big shocker. "I thought I was the MC, then the character spoke & it was a chick!!!" or "The MC's helmet just flew off. I'm going to see his face I thought, & then it turned out to be a girl!!!!"

So either will get to play as another character (unknowningly) or we will fight alongside another spartan. I've been posting my theory about this for a while now, & the ad just reinforces it.

Here's the link to it.

just because the video was crisp and everything doesnt mean thats wat it is going to be like in the game, they said that the video was not gameplay but just a movie, to tell you the truth the graphics will be better than the movie, we are talking about next generation graphics here, GOW is just a start of wat the graphics are going to look like, we got until november 2007, im excited, i got goosebumps from the vid.

yo that commercial was great. I think the the chief was roolin in the mongoose and got flipped by a wraith blast where his shiels went out and knocked him out for a few seconds. The talk between him and kelly might be symbolic from reach when they were training, the scream was another blast coming from the wraith and when he looked back he say kelly's helment which was his and symbolic of all his fallen comrades. By putting back on that helment and finishing the fight he holds all there hopes and dreams at heart.

The shield was great and it will all be worth the while when if FINALLY comes to light.

Well if it is a memory from the MC then it is probablly when he was with another spartan when they were on Reach sometime during his training

Congratulations Bungie. You just brought VERY powerful energy and emotion into Halo. That's the only part that was missing. Emotion Engine? Psshh. You can't even see his face, yet by the actions and the music you can tell the Chief is one pissed off Spartan. Amazing, 60 seconds and it was the ride of my life.

read the interview posted in the context of the article that this forum came from, Frankie tells you what its all about there.

I was watching the video and i thought the person that said "any sighn of the chief" is sounded like sgt Johnson. And then to comfirm my belief the Marine said " negative sgt. i think we lost him.
idk if it matters that the sgt. said that but o well

The chief was probably on his way to rendezvous with them when he got hit.

watch the new trailer then watch the trailer that was first released...does anybody see that it goes in order? he's been through all the rough battle in this TV trailer then at the end he finally reaches the ark or the structure with his 'beat up armor' walking

They could go either way E3 first then CG or the other way around.

There are 2 possibilities for the order of the trailers:

The E3 announcement trailer possibly occurs after the CG one because the ARK is deactivated or destroyed (the light we see) and MC escapes before this happens to watch it.

The second possibility is that the E3 trailer occurs before the CG one and the ARK has been activated, "oh snap" MC needs to get there fast, so he grabs a hog and hauls ass, only to be stopped by the mortar fire.
