Yeah, could just be lighting. If not, just looks different for multiplayer.

That is not a lightint thing, I can safely say that. It's too much if a change, why would the top be reflective silver and the bottom normal colour? Although it's plausible, the change is too dramatic. And there are shots of the AR in MP where it is the 'normal' colour, so it can't be just a SP-MP difference...

OR it's just a little half done preview. We can't take much from these 'very' early stage pictures too seriously.

That base remindes me of the base in Relic.

I thought that too...but it looks like a smaller version of it, since there's another identical structure on the map.

Good thing it's not just me that thinks it, so I'm not crazy. :P

It looks like a generic forerunner structure.

well maybe we will learn the official release date Monday, December 4 - The Official HALO 3 Trailer is going to be shown on TV. :shock:


Also, my dad is reading "The Ghosts of Onyx" - and the planet that you see on the trailer for halo 3 is not Earth. That is Onyx. Onyx is where they are training the new SPARTAN 3's. The S3's have no shield. The suits are made for kids. Although they have no shield, they are always cloaked (Like the arbitor in H2SP). They also run faster and jump higher. So my dad says that in HALO 3 , he thinks in MP you can choose to play as the S3 or the S2 and heres why.... Say it takes the S2 4 shots to die, and it takes the S3 2 shots to die, well, the S2 is slow and always visible , however, the S3 is always cloaked, runs faster, jumps higher - balance , eh? Also, he says he doesnt know, but he doesnt think that the big think on onyx isn't the ark. He says it may be but probably not. Also, some S3's disappeared in training and the trainers (Linda, Dr.Housey) couldnt find them. However, they found them later on (20 yrs later) and they had been with some scientists underground searching through and mapping the Forerunner tunnels FOR 20 YEARS and still had only mapped a small % of it.

And this is pretty neat, the Forerunners are Forerunner Humans because, some Sentinals These arent your normal sentinals, they have 3 legs and shoot a beam stronger/hotter than a plasma beam came out of the thing that is on the H3 Annoucement Trailer and started attacking the S3's. Although the S3's were invisible, the sentinals could still track them. But linda and Dr.Housey were standing there training the S3's and the Sentinals didnt even look at them. They just attack anything that doesnt look like its human. Thats why the sentinals attack you in h2SP - because you dont look human!


Anywayz, I hoped that entertained you a little until my dad reads some more :!: 8)

Wow, thanks for ruining the story... jerk.

And your dads theory is stupid, seeing as Bungie have stated the structure in the Announce trailer is on Earth, and that the whole trailer is set on Earth, and no... I bet my bottom dollar we wont be seeing invisible kiddy spartans in H3 multiplayer.

And since when was the Arbiter always cloaked? And it's spelt Dr. Halsey.

I have resisted a lot in this post, consider it polite.

Umm, sentinels are on the Foreruner side, and the Forerunners don't look like humans.

I have read The Ghosts of Onyx shortly after It was released. And I can tell you that 100% of that theory Is false.

The Halo 3 trailer does happen on earth, (I won't spoil the story here, but at the end you will see that Onyx can not be where the Halo 3 trailer took place).

The Spartans In SPI armour do not jump higher, nor run faster, they are just Spartans with more cost-effective armour. Also, the thought of having a player permanently cloaked during a multiplayer game Is not balanced at all.

Also, the Spartans that went missing were being trained by someone else (no going to say who :wink: ) Dr. Halsey arrived afterwards, so she couldn't go looking for them.

And about your theory on the Sentinels, the ones seen are indeed "your normal Sentinel", there Is nothing special about them. The Sentinels did not attack the other humans there because they were not their target. The Sentinels In Halo 2 recognize you as "a reclaimer", and attack you because the MC has sufficient Calcium depots inside him to be used as a Flood host, this Is the way the Sentinels were programmed.

2) It is Earth, Bungie confirmed this by saying he was in Mombasa, which is located in Africa.
You really need to check your information before blurting out useless, false, unfounded, and random theories. It is very clear that you know very little about the Halo storyline, and other information concerning the games.

The masterchief will also take off his helmet to reveal a Scottish dyke (yes all makes sense) with red dreadlocks and a beard like no other, which then unlocks the bagpipe in multiplayer.
I knew this because my little brother told me!!!!!1!
