Even more reasons for me to fiend for the 360. I love, love, love the Halo franchise.

So do I, and Halo 3 WILL be the reason I get a 360.

But this worries me a little.

For the purposes of this holiday commercial and knowing the tight timeline with which it had to come together we decided a long time ago that utilizing real, final, actual gameplay just wasn’t the right thing to do. As you know, we’re very protective of our baby and we will only show it when we feel it’s ready to be shown (and even then it’s sometimes pried from our protective fingers). We all agreed that a cooler thing to do would be to move as far away from gameplay-style footage as possible, and make something more movie-like. Let our fans see what the Halo universe looks like in a photo-realistic fashion.
We didn’t want folks to think we were trying to pull the wool over their eyes, when we had such a great opportunity to do something cool and worthwhile.
Now don’t get me wrong – just because this ad isn’t gameplay doesn’t mean it’s not really cool. In fact, we provided the folks at Digital Domain with all of our new in-game models and assets. They then polished them up to movie CGI standards, animated them and rendered them to a degree of stunning beauty. There will be a lot to like in this ad and we’re happy with how it’s turning out. Just because you’re seeing a kind of “real-life” representation of Halo 3 doesn’t mean you aren’t seeing real gameplay elements from Halo 3.

Didn't they do this same sort of thing before the release of Halo 2? Bungie had this amazing demo for E3, only to tell the gamers later that "Oh, sorry, that wasn't really in the game". Yeah, their coming clean now,but to me this begs the question "why aren't we seeing in game footage"?

Never owned an Xbox, but I love the halo games! If this games lives up to the hype I may have to grab a 360!

I hadn't even considered that, and a great point.


But Halo 2 was badass regardless, so, all is well, most like.
