Awesome. When I get my 360 for Christmas I am going to buy Halo 1 and 2 just so I can get into the story for Halo 3.

Does anyone know when the Halo movie is coming out?

Halo movie is on indefinite hold.

Also check out the novel The Fall of Reach to get more into the backstory of Master Chief. I bought it on a whim but it really added alot to the game story.

I have to apologize to the first few posters in this thread, but that trailer looks absolutely pimp. With the couple of trailers that we've seen now, there seems to be a lot of open area.

I don't know what some of you guys are talking about, but that trailer was BAD ASS! Very nice! Definitely on the "must have" list.

It looks cool. I liked GOW, and I assume I will like this. I still have to pick up Halo 2 (just bought a 360)...... Now only if it had Mouse + KB Support..

QFT.

The Gears of War trailer made tons of people want to buy an Xbox 360.
This Halo 3 trailer makes Halo fans who already have a 360 cream their pants for Halo 3 next year; not necessarily newcomers.

That looks totally bad ass...

I am going to buy an xbox 360 just for this game. The first 2 halos rocked. This should be no different.

Remember...this is a forum where the Halo hate is strong.

because we've all played FPS's that are 100x the caliber of halo/halo2

edit: hahaha.. so this video is proof that chief can run fast, but in the game he is slow as balls (that kills me, even CSS is faster than halo/halo2 in multiplayer)

good trailer, although i think *slightly* longer would have made for a better video. nice effects and all:thumbsup:

Halo 1 was pretty damn amazing when it was first released.

half life, quake, deus ex, doom(s), original UT (still the best of the UTs IMO) easily beat halo

With the exception of HL and maybe Deus Ex, none of those games have a plot/story whatsoever.

Hey, since when did shooting someone in the face not constitute a plot/story?

do they really have to have a story to be better?

and halo didn't have much of a story (of course, what fps DOES have a story? its always an excuse to blow $hit up - not that i mind )

Even though Halo is nothing new and there are many games that have better graphics, the reason it is successful is because of the theme: One man against many enemies. The insurmountable odds of Master Chief fighting the Covenant (especially on Legendary) makes the game really appealing. I am by NO MEANS A FANBOY, but I have to give credit to Bungie for making a good product.

I hope they improve the level designs. The environemnts felt too sterile in the first two HALOs

Yep. Didn't have the same effect as the GoW "Mad World" commercial but it was still pretty sweet.

i saw that halo 3 commercial with the "mad world" song spliced over it

You must like playing dolls with your sister.

Halo is one of the best games ever made. I have spent hours and hours playing that game. The fun never ends.

Unless you like playing with dolls then it just might not appeal to you.
