New Halo 3 Trailer!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!

As the title implies there is a new Halo 3 trailer. There are several details I'd like to mention. Let me start with a screenshot:

Watch The Video Before Anything Else... Don't Worry... I'll Wait...

Here's A Link To The Windows Media Version
And Here's A Link To The Flash Version

Freakin' Awesome Right? Here's Some Tiny Details You Might Not Have Noticed:


  1. Approximately 28.557 seconds into the trailer you can hear a barely audible childs voice say
"Time To Go..." right before you hear the incoming radio transmission.

2. Right after the child's voice finishes (29.187 Seconds) you hear Cortana's voice saying "chief... leave...". This deepens the mystery of the AI who when we last saw her in Halo 2, was in the clutches of "Gravemind". The way she says it almost sounds like a cry for help...

3. (40-45 Seconds Into The Video) Woo-Hoo! New Gadget (Here's To Hoping It Will Be In The Game)! For Lack Of A Better (And More Official Sounding) Name I Dub It... The "Porta-Shield"... Here Is A Screenshot:



4. (52 Seconds Into The Video) The amount of enemies Master Chief is facing.... Is Amazing:

By My Count:

12 Brutes
1 Hunter
And 6 Wraiths

Damn! Here Are Some Screenshots:

5. (0 Seconds Into Possibly The Best Video Ever Made) Sorry to backtrack but I just realized the that this needs to be said. I don't have my Halo novels with me right now but the children talking at the beginning of the video are probably John (aka "Master Chief") and a female Spartan. Before you say "Wait a minute! Don't they know about the Covenant?" you'll remember if you've read the novels that the Spartan 2 program was started because of the rebel uprising... Not the covenant. So that's John as a kid. Just thought that was important.... As it's the first time we get to look behind the mask.
