Goddamn, that is good.

I love the little Shield thingy.

Mojo · #4 12-05-2006, 05:56 AM

Nice. Did you get mentioned at HBO?

Abe16 · #5 12-05-2006, 06:08 AM

I saw that a couple of months ago, I was looking on google... and yeah. it looks pretty cool.

Mojo · #6 12-05-2006, 06:34 AM

Hmm, quite extraordinary. Since it was first shown only YESTERDAY.

Abe16 · #7 12-05-2006, 06:56 AM

No, i mean not that. It was like, a few months ago... not that oe... but, ah never mind.

Looks awesome and I don't care that this was just CGI blended with live action elements, it served its purpose to pump me up for the game. I hope I got into the beta. Looks like we might also get a glimpse into John's (Master Chief) child hood like in the novels.

I never knew Master Chief's 1st name was John?
And yea I think so too.

Yeah!

His name was John and his Spartan designation well revealed in Halo 2 as well for those who didn't read the books was Spartan 117. If you have any interest in Halo I highly recommend reading the novles especially the first book The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund, which is the prequel to Halo chronicling John's life from 6 years old all the way to the first level of Halo the game. Book two is written by a different author William C. Dietz and is called the Flood. The book is a novelization of the first game and fills in a lot of gaps as well as furthering storylines from Fall of Reach, not the best of the series of course but worth the read as well. First Strike returns to Author Eric Nylund and I've read a few chapters it leads from the aftermath of Halo to Halo 2. Finally, the fourth book Ghosts of Onyx is also written by Nylund and was just released last month and from the reviews as well as people I've talked to said its one of the best.

Lot of information but hopefully it spiked your interest!

Oddie · #11 12-05-2006, 07:52 AM

I never knew there were any books on halo either! I'll have to look out for those, since they sound quite interessting!
I am quite a big fan on halo, I loved the first one, though I think towards the end there was too much of the flood, but it was still brilliant. And the second one was pretty good too

(-It was really good that you got to be an elite). Can't wait till the thrid one comes out!
Thanks for the information, al

You might wanna check out http://halo.bungie.org, it has lots of info. It's still a fan-site though, but the largest of em all. Also check out the story page on that one.

aaj111 · #14 12-06-2006, 10:02 AM

It's not all that, Although a little bit of it was great, and all, but meh, not too surprising...

Indeedly. And I am planning to get Ghosts of Onyx ASAP, but i'm broke right now. Ah well. Spent all my money of this laptop and GOW

As much as I love the books, Gears of War was definately the right choice mitsur hands down.

Leto · #17 12-07-2006, 09:12 PM

Well, Halo 3 has... grass.

Mojo · #18 12-08-2006, 01:09 AM

Perhaps not, read the stories on HBO, and you'll find our that everything in the teaser can be subject to change.

Leto · #19 12-08-2006, 08:51 PM

So Halo 3 might not even have grass?

Damn. Nextgen is mindblowing.

***Xavier*** · #20 12-09-2006, 03:29 AM

I love halo and I'll buy halo 3
but this IS NOT a preview, it's loosely based on what might happen or might be in the game

but I admit, it as eye candy

Arxryl · #21 12-09-2006, 05:38 AM

Yeah... it makes you wonder what the actual gameplay/storyline for Halo 3 will be. If the trailer reflects somewhat what the game is, then I think we may be in for a treat.

Stephan · #22 12-16-2006, 04:27 AM

hehe yeah *points to forerunner behind cloud when chief sees the assault rifle* (top left you can see it just before the camera focus's on the weapon and blurs the backround a bit). Amazing trailer, i can't wait till some ps3 fanboys who don't know its CGI start shouting **** at it : P

Reptile · #23 01-04-2007, 06:37 AM

I really don't like Brutes...they are gay.

Hobo · #24 01-04-2007, 08:21 AM

And they love giving each other backrubs.

Reptile · #25 01-04-2007, 10:49 AM

.....must you bring back those disgusting memories that plagued me for months!?
