Why hasn't this already been created?
Anyway discuss anything H3; theories about the plot, graphiks and gameplay, wallpaper, whatever.. Here is a link the the teaser trailer page. I suggest the Windows Media Player Large Uncropped Version though. The most amazing part of this trailer is that it was actually rendered in realtime using the game engine and ran on an xbox 360 debugkit.
And John's new gloves look hawt.

The teaser trailer was, in my humble opinion, crap. I didn't know the part about the realtime rendering on the 360 (impressive! But then, the 360 generally is..), but for plot/gameplay exhibition, it sucked the big one. It seems like they showed us the end of the game in the teaser trailer. I know that can't be the case, but still. I mean, if that's not the Covenant activating the... the... the thingies (I can't remember the name for the central device thing), then what the hell is it?

Also, Cortana? The fuck?

As I said, I'm impressed with the graphics, but that's only natural. They're a step up from Halo 2, and that's good. The music also continues the Halo trend of being awesome. I just don't like the way they present the trailer. It's got no meat on the bones.

That said, I can't wait for the game itself.

I can't work Halo anything. I got so bloody confused just trying to figure out where the fuck I was and why I was staring at the sky that I had no idea what the story was.

Maybe I'm just a button-bashing girl, but I'm pretty good at most console games within the first ten minutes, and I was so pissed off with Halo (2 I think it was) that I'd never play Halo 3. Not if I was paid. Pretty graphics aren't much good if you can't stop fucking staring at the sky.

The first Halo was loads better than number two. And it did take practice to not drive off cliffs. I got banned from driving by my flatmates, I always managed to run everyone over and then kill myself.

The flag-cleaner one killed me.

Red vs Blue is great though

Nobody's as bad at Halo as I am. I've gotten kicked out of almost every xbox live match I've been in.



I can't recognize my own teammates ;(

Red vs. Blue rocked my world a year ago. I haven't watched anything past about episode 40.

The Halo games are great fun when you get enough people together on one Xbox and switch out when you lose (or win, depending on the way you want to play). I spent altogether too much of high school not in class and playing Halo 2, so I'm confidant that I can kick most peoples' asses.

We have two xbox's in the house, so we get games of 6 to 8 fairly often.

Yeah, that's also a lot of fun. Too bad my friend had to go and get his Xbox stolen. Dumbass.

Layoff, I know what it feels like to lose a console to theivery.
Alright, so the trailer is a teaser trailer, this means that no gameplay or plot are to be made blantantly obvious. Bungie is not releasing any plot at all until the game's release date. Gameplay footage will eventually be released as was with Halo 2.

*HALO 2 SPOILER* just pointing it out.

Cortana was left with the Gravemind, remember? Don't you expect her to be a little different?

If you want a meattier trailer you'll have to have patience, Bungie only releases tiny bits of anything. There will most definitely be an actionpacked super trailer released in the future.

So what do you think the finale in this Halo storyline will hold?

I've always had a sneaky suspicion that the forerunner are in fact human ancestors and that the covenant have been trying to exterminate the gods they had been imitating.

That's a commonly held suspicion, actually. It's been suggested that the "Ark" was a safe place when the rings were activated, and the Forerunner sheltered there later became ancestors of the human race.

Ark

That should have more information on that subject. If you trust wikipedia or you care, that is.

I think Cortana will "die", and Master Chief will kill himself because he developed such a close relationship with her that he can't live without her. A gay Elite who is obsessed with MC will follow.

No you don't. Stop being dumb on purpose.
wikipedia wrote:
It is possible that if technology could have been advanced to the point of Time travel, then it is conceivable that 343 Guilty Spark does not mistake Master Chief for a Forerunner, but recognizes Master Chief having "returned from the past," but this errs towards the extreme end of speculation.
I'm not quite sure what is meant by this, as in I don't understand the sentence.

In the first Halo the floaty robot mistakes MC as a forerunner briefly before correcting himself, but still deciding that he'll do. So this theory speculates that it mistakes him because the MC is in it's database due to time travel, but not due to being a forerunner.

Personally, it could have some merit since "there are no mistakes in literature" or so the saying goes.

I got that part, but please explain how time travel equals MC being in the database.

MC ends up playing some part in the creation of the Halo units or something.

Who would have thought that some ponce wearing a BMX helmet would make a popular video game character.

Because BMX bikers make all the world's toughest decisions regarding videogames.

Yeah that sounds about right.
