Update: The video’s being pulled apart all over the web. See here.
It’s here. It shows city streets burnt out after a meteor impact and a “Halo 3″ logo, followed by the words “Prepare to drop.”
The video has the Microsoft Game Studios logo at the end of it.
And that’s that. Watch it. We’re just sorting out a local version.
Update: You can watch it after the break now as well.

I kinda expected something… well a little more… I dont understand
Blerk said:
Oh. And here’s everyone thinking it’s going to be a new game. It’s some sort of Halo 3 extension then? How disappointing.
Axle said:
It looks like the boot sequence from Robocop, but nowhere near as good.
Robo_1 said:
Well that was a complete non-event
Oh well, back to counting the minutes until Wipeout!
pjmaybe said:
Blerk what are you on about? If it’d been a new Halo game how would it have been any LESS disappointing?
Truk said:
Got a big “meh” around the office here. I think everyone was expecting to be less confused and a bit more intrigued. “Didn’t we already have Halo 3?”

So, it’s Halo 3: DLC.
Why would they bother to pull that from the E3 conf when it would have been a nice little surprise reveal at the end? On it’s own, it’s just a bit of a meh announcement.

“Prepare to drop”
Suggests we’ll be playing as ODSTs*, the Helljumpers. The badassiest of the badass non-augmented soldier dudes.
Those aren’t meteors, those are drop-pods.
In other words, squad-game.
*Orbital Drop Shock Trooper
Blerk said:
UNLESS…. it’s sort of a ‘total conversion’ mod, which turns your Halo 3 into something else entirely. Although why that wouldn’t have been done as a totally separate game, I dunno. So it probably isn’t. Like.
Truk said:
Erm. Anyone spot the “Maddie where are you?” text?! :-O
Tiger Walts said:
That is a bit O_o
Blerk said:
I’m surprised Americans even know who she is.
pjmaybe said:
I said AEONS ago the next Halo would be a squad thing. So colour me slightly more interested than if it’d just been some lame arsed lone wolf type of dealio.
Truk said:
I believe it’s been confirmed on Live that it’s an expansion to Halo 3. What that actually entails is another thing. I’m not sure if they’re able to retroactively add squad-based control though. Could be rather tricky.

The Maddie line was a rather daft idea.
Blerk said:
Looks like people are frame-by-frame analysing this thing already.

“The Maddie line was a rather daft idea.”
Really think it’s reffering to the same Maddie?
No_PUDding said:
Literally Halo 3.5….
When Halo 3 was already 2.5 xD
So now we have Halo 3 definitely.
(Sony!! Heads up on a KZ2 expansion… Oh Wait it’s not out yet)
Psychotext said:
Very strange. I really like the graphical style of the trailer though.
Quiiick said:
If that’s in-game graphics what they show in this teaser, colour me interested.
The one thing that confuses me though, is it being Halo 3 …
Quiiick said:
@ Psychotext
… yes, me too, I like the colours and the lighting!
Psychotext said:
Yeah, I doubt it will be… being a Halo 3 expansion and all. =/
No_PUDding said:
It’s 2D, you can see from the effects when they try to make ti collapse.
So I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s not ingame.
But I will say you guys shouldn’t be down on a Halo 3 expansion. That’s like gold. Don’t sweat it, it will be substantial and fun.
Whizzo said:
“Really think it’s reffering to the same Maddie?”
As narrow focused as US news media can be it ran with the story just like everywhere is did.
Psychotext said:
I doubt it’s the same person. It would have never got past MS’s anal PR people.

rofl its an expansion pack
Psychotext said:
We already knew that David…
reask said:
OK silly question coming up.
Will this be single player or multiplayer or both.
Thanks in advance.
David said:
@Psychotext
well I don’t mean to be rude but so what if you knew the picture is for lol’s. They pretty much ruined bungies little teaser none new’s.
Psychotext said:
I’m not entirely sure how they ruined it. The trailer says Halo 3… not “New Bungie game”.

No_PUDding said:
Yes, to be honest with th hintings I was expecting a new game.
morriss said:
I wasn’t.
I don’t like new. New scares me.
