Keep in mind Bungie hired another firm to make this commercial, and it's all CG, not in-game.

Nonetheless, prepare for wet underpants! 😱

P.S. If you have a Premium 360, Xbox Live Gold, and a .NET passport you can now sign up for the Halo 3 beta at halo3.com (I don't have the first two 🙁 )

I can't even watch it, I get a flashing frame with audio in the background. It says "Jump In". I have tried in Firefox and IE, tried using MP10 directly by using "Open URL" nothing works. Why cant they just have a normal .wmv or flash video like everyone else.

Did you wait for it to load?

Try to see it from here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo3/20061204-trailer-starrynight.htm

I just saw it on TV. It's pretty awesome.

 

[sindustrial777]

Wow! Very nice, might need to get myself a 360...
Is this the last halo then? ("Finish the fight 2007")

 

[Grandmaster]

It's the last in the trilogy.

But there are already two more "Halo" games announced, in the sense that they take place in the Halo universe. But Halo 3 will be the end for this story arc.

The other two:

A Halo RTS made by the dudes who brought us Age of Empires. (http://www.halowars.com/)
A Halo "game that's more like a movie" by Peter Jackson. (still waiting on more details about this one)

Yeah I know, sounds like corporate whoring to me too 🙁 I hope they don't milk Halo until it is ****.

Yeah dude, of course I waiting for it to load. :lick:

Navigating to the video through that link seemed to of worked. Thanks! Looks pretty cool, not a fan of the Halo series myself, but still looks really nice. (I was more interested in the CG 🙂 )

 

[ElementalDragon]

eeh... i highly doubt they'll end it at Halo 3. Looks nice, but i dunno if it'd be worth buying a 360 over...

i have all i need to sign up but:

Europe will soon have the chance to secure their place on the Halo 3 multiplayer beta, scheduled to start next spring. Keep an eye on your local Xbox community site for more details.

I saw yesterday when monday night football was on.
The problem I have is that it wont look nearly like it does in the commercial.
Still, im gonna buy an xbox for this.

 

[gonaads]

Now I can see the Halo trilogy as a movie. It could be something special. 🙂 Oh, That commercial is sweet. 😀

 

[GEN3RIC]

i watched the 720p version on IGN.com, i thought the little shield was pretty cool, except I've never seen it used in-game. In Halo 3 perhaps?

 

[Vanquished]

Yeah
It must be.
It wasnt in the others.

 

[Grandmaster]

Yeah I'm guessing its a new type of grenade.

 

[Vanquished]

cant wait 🙂
I just hope xbox 360s graphics are good.

 

[NetRyder]

The shield grenade was definitely the coolest part of the video! 😀
I also signed up for the Spring '07 multiplayer beta last night. That should be interesting.

 

[Vanquished]

Does anyone know if it will come out on vista?

 

[Grandmaster]

Maybe in 2012.

 

[Vanquished]

Maybe in 2012.

Sigh.
I bet your right too....

 

[GEN3RIC]

I bet they are working on that as we speak. Halo 2 is solely for Vista, and I am sure they will use the lure of Halo 3 as well! It makes a lot of sense - and Microsoft knows how important games on Windows are to their OS's survival.
