Hmmm, yes, I saw that on Youtube.
I'm not sure yet. It looks quite cool, but Halo's never really quite convinced me with the whole 'epic battle for the universe' thing, it just always feels like a series of skirmishes, human vs Covenant.

ITs kinda hard to develope a FPS shooter to include massive battles for the survival of humanity..... But when you are a diehard HALO freak (Like myself) things like that make you do crazy things......... :)

[Ktan]

True, but even C&C Renegade made you feel like you were just a small part of a huge battle in the early levels. Even the Earth battles just felt like a gauntlet of Covenent Ghosts. Sure, it was fun, but not quite epic.

HeHeHe me likey... I don't mind if the battles are a little small... brutes are hard enough i don't want to fight 20 of them O_o

I predict Halo 3 will take place in Canada, seeing how Halo 2's trailer accurately depicted major battles on Earth.

Two things. 1) This has already been posted, and...

2) I predict you sir are wrong. The Ark, or whatever it is the Covies found, is in Africa... hence the big excavation device. Master Chief is also there... I wonder if the Covenant and Humans will make an alliance, or at least the Elites and grunts.

Btw, yeah, I'm back from E3.

<3 Kong.

I can't wait for it. Well, I can, but I want it now.

Thats why the coveat landed at newmombeasa in halo 2...

And I think the elites grunts and hunters will help the humans just look at sgt johnson and The arbiter...

Many things have been noted already. Its obviously somewhere in Africa, teasers from Halo 2 launch site would prove so. The banshees have no pilots in them (look no legs), so its probably safe to assume that elites are with humans

I don't think they were really aiming for it, to me Halo seemed to be more aiming at a sort of special agent type game except without the stealth (though I used to play through halo orginial campaign trying to sneak up on all my opponents) and with more explosions and killing. To me it all ways seemed like "capture this place", "rescue the captain", "blow up the spider from wild wild west", etc and saving the universe is a side effect that. Being the most wanted enemy of an alien race means your not going to run in the middle of a battlefield or anywhere which you can be nuked on purpose, though your campaigns may lead you there.

The trailer for Halo 3 looks quite random with Cortana (am I right in assuming its her?) flashing over the screen, I would be assuming that when she got left in the room with the flood thingy that she got infected so now is back as the queen of blades, though she didn't say anything evil. MC almost died before the game even started:P It would be cool if we could play on the plains of Africa just as long as they don't try to close the playing area off with "natural" obsticules like they did in previous games.

I dunno it just seems unable to make its mind up, whether it wants to be All stealth-agenty (Let's be honest, MC is no Snake) or uber-battle of omgness the world is ending. All sorts of conflicting ideas in it.

[Dusty]

It does both nothing as satifying as finding s good spot to hunkjer down and snipe or to walk up and whack a poor noob in the back of the head :P

Well, you're trying to make the game either black or white. In reality, it's somewhere inbetween the two extremes you mentioned. Master Chief essentially contains the power of a squad of marines all in one cyborg. Master Chief doesn't need to be stealthy since he can handle most enemy forces, and also the missions don't require that the enemies don't see him. But he is also no replacement for an entire army.

I dunno, doesn't quite gel for me.
It's still darned cool though :D
