John was never on Earth (read the first novel) and Kelly, as far as the story goes was not picked up with John. I would almost agree to it being John and Kelly durring their training but I doubt that they would have been allowed to go off by themselves like that, unless they sneaked off...

The more i think about it I am starting to think the person on the ground would be a younger John since he has short hair, but you could also look at it from the point that the other person is John. A prelude to his future since the other person turns to look at the other kid and then it cuts to the helmet. Better yet, they did it to see what we type so they can get a good laugh from us. ;-)

they did not sneak off, I believe that this particular scene happened when before they were going to ambush the Pelican and throw rocks at the marines guarding it.

I thnk the new trailer takes place before the E3 1 since you can clearly see that the storm thing above where the ark is and MC is running toward it andif you think the the new trailer is after the other 1 than why woule MC run away from the ark and then try to get back to it.

was he running away in the E3 trailer? In my opinion, no.

Good point, everyone is aware of the covenant during the training sessions maybe. I recall the USNC keeping information away from people in the early parts of the war based on how badly they were getting their but kicks. I will review the Fall of Reach tonight, but I don't recall the Spartan IIs being given any information on the Covenant during their training.

Actually I recall that they were still dealing with Human insurgants (don't recall the name of that Asteroid base they destroyed), but I recall quite a number of human to human encounters. Remember, for a long time no one survived any attacks by the Covenant, they would get glassed. If I recall correctly, commander Keys was the first to even engage a Covenant attack group an win (God bless him).

Therefore I can assume that Chief got knocked out, by that Wraith mortor (he's been knocked out at least once in each game, 1. Escaping the pillar of Autumn, 2. Landing in New Mombosa. And he had a flashback to his youth. The voice you hear comes from the Right Back speaker channel - I stood right next to mine, You hear the Boy say, Time to go and that's when he is coming to.

The Overshield grenade, must be UNSC issued - Covenant are not innovative so they do not have new technology, they simply know how to create and repair the weapons left to them by the Forerunners. Mastes chiefs shield system was developed after they got a hold of an Elites shield Generator. Which makes full body shielding. This is obviously a take on the ?jackal arm Shield.

They are Brutes ok, ok, but I can guranatee you 2 things, we will see a new enemy type in this one and there will be 4 way war going on here. check this out:



Covenant civil war:

Elites, Grunts and Hunters vs Brutes Drones and something NEW.

Humans vs Covenant and Covenant Defectors

Flood vs Everybody with Flesh.

Considering that in Halo2 the only way to take a Brute down in good fashion was to shoot him in the head, what do you have to do to take town a fully armored Brute?

actually, if I remember correctly from The Fall of Reach, they used the Jackal shield to produce the full body shield the chief has.

Also,

That ad was awesome. It looked real. The graphics were excellent. Master chief kicked butt. It was so cool.

actually, to be honest, it looked like the chief had his butt kicked in the beginning...

also, anyone see the similarities between this trailer when he jumps into a group of brutes (?) and the e3 trailer for h2 when he was in the middle of approx 8 elites with swords? I really wonder how he pulls this stuff off (considering he's really in 'legendary' mode). if anyone can reproduce a time in the game when you can take on 8 elites, on legendary, please host the video and let me know how to do it (maybe round em up together and nade em?)

Well, I think I have devised a strategy that will work in evading the elites: Grenade jump just as they lunge assuming they all lunge around the same time. This way when they reach the center point where you are, you will be above them and some of the splash damage will take them out, and then your shields will be depleted, so pick up one of the swords from the fallen elites and defend yourself.

As for evading the a group of brutes and wraths, I think thats impossible. On the other hand, these are new wrath tanks, so we don't know if they have the secondary guns on them or not, but we do know that they can't fire the mortars at close rang. This leaves you to deal with a brute with a hammer and other aliens (possibly brutes with armor, except I doubt they would have any, unless they get armor now that the elites have betrayed them, anyways there is lots of debate and unanswered questions about that, so I wont go into it.) Remember we saw this group back away when he jumped off the cliff, maybe this means that they are scared -blam!-less of him and have no chance of living because he is the Master chief and always comes out of a fight alive.

I in particular liked the sound of the magnetic clamps on his back when the assault rifle camped to it and when he took it off. The pistol looks like one of the older one from COMBAT EVOLVED, it had the bigger grips and sights. Can't wait to hear more info from bungie, those people you so love to hate and hate to love.

Did anyone else notice that when the chief starts to run after the wraith shot its the shield that there is BR fire? Or at least what sounds like the BR fire from H2

Thats just another reason that proves the the commercail takes place before the trailer

The Best, Makih

This is my idea the boy in the ad is John, and supposively the girl is his sister or frind or somethindg like that. Ok he was on the ATV thing, got hit and had a short flashback about being back on his homeworld. He wakes up.......mad.....ready to kick someones ass. Just so happens theres a couple of brutes over the hill(and some Wraith). Well thats all i got so far, and youre guess is as good as mine on that shield grenade thing or whatever that is. Its a frickin beast whatever it is post me back a comment if you have anything GOOD to say. For all you rich stuck up white boy -blam!-es out there.

I actually didnt like the Commercial too much. I liked the Trailer more. I guesse it was how the Commercial lacked Gameplay and was too Cinematicy for me. But thats just My Opinion.


Looked great in HD Tho! =D

Men, we've led these dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep from getting their filthy claws on earth, but, we stumbled on to something that's so hot for them, that they're scrambling over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-b*tch machine, or a giant hola-hoop, we ain't gonna let them have it. What we will let them have, is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in!

Honestly, I'm about to freeze myself like Cartman.

The first part with the kids, i didn't like so much it was still sweet, but whatever. THE MASTER CHIEF IS THE COOLEST EVER.

Spartan armor= 10, 000,000,000$
Crazy Shield Thing = 10,000$
Assault Rifle = 3,000$
Getting hit by a couple of wraith bombs, then charging into a swarm of Brutes? Priceless.
