Hallelujah! This is a cell phone screen I took when I viewed the ad on my Xbox:

EDIT: better pics added

Along with a funky lookin' shield grenade. I guess that accounts for the missing two grenades of a certain type, after the two frag, two plasma, and two spike, which, until now, had only made six, where there should have been eight.

I'll have a screen of that shortly.

EDIT: Shield 'nade pics:

EDIT: Also, here's a pic of a Brute with what appears to be a banhammer:

That could still be the Magnum, they look pretty similar.

They're kind of big, but I didn't want to sacrifice any juicy detail.

if you look when hes turning around for the ar, you can see that its the magnum or some type of pistol variant..

i hope it's a tad stronger than the magnum, but with the awesome look of the old pistol. the halo 1 pistol was waaay overpowered, and they aren't bringing it back exactly, but the model would be cool to see.

also, the semi-new wraiths, shield grenade (sweet) and graphics are great! i can't wait to play!

That trailer is, contrary to Bungie's previous policies, CG, not in-engine. You'll have to wait for more videos other than the original teaser to see more of the graphics.

Shield Grenade..ook.

For the Pistol I just think it's the Magnum but it's been altered.. added to I guess.

Post any discussion of the Halo 3 commercial here. I'm trying to condense all discussion into one thread.
