Default At last, the Halo Cometh....

Admittably, this site is just to get the quick and easy version of the video, but there is a much larger version of the announcement trailer on Bungie's site.

As Cortana says: This is how the world ends...

With kickin' action and music to boot!

Tiny video. No idea idea what was going on.

Best few minutes of my month so far!

I swear I got goosebumps watching it.

I can not wait for this.

You can full-screen the video.

Or watch it on the bungie site, like I said.

But, yeah... I've stopped working on my quest of doom for a few days to watch it over, and over again. Just those few minutes are giving me thousands of ideas for use in my quest.

But, you guys have to admit the music is the best part, isn't it?

Oh, one of those things. I'm just so used to horns, you see, anything else seems distinctly odd.

Threads going off-topic is acceptable. If you want to bring it back, make an on-topic post.

Halo is the one with Master Chief, isn't it? What's the deal with that anyway? Why doesn't he have an actual name, like Bob or Carl?

His name is John. John-117, since he was the 117th kid on the list of possible Spartans.

All we know about his appearance is that hes very, very tall, had freckes when he was a kid, is extremely pale in skin tone (and probably suffering from a vitamin D deficiency) thanks to his preference to wearing the suit as opposed to not, and he's got a gap in his teeth like Madonna.

No, I'm not obsessed. ops:

He also had dark hair and a strong build, and was quiet and extremely lucky.
I don't play Halo, I just read the books. I'm not incredibly fond of the games myself, but then again...they're on X-Box. No offense to X-Box fans, but...I already have a doorstop. :wink:
