That Pesky Symbol
It's the symbol that just won't go away. Joseph Haake has sent in yet another enhancement of that Halo symbol on the back of the Red Covenant in the E3 trailer (though he says he doesn't "see the point in determining the actual shape of this specific covenant symbol"...). Nice enhancement, in any case, Joseph - thanks! (Louis Wu 00:00:32 UTC)

Theories section updated
Whoa. From symbols strewn around the Halo to speculation on the origins of language, and quantum computing... Mike Sholl weighs in with a concept-heavy theory relating to symbols found in the E3 2000 trailer. Give it a read... then jump in with your thoughts on our forum! (Louis Wu 01:32:34 UTC)

Oceans of Halo goodness... if you can get it
Well, as everyone this side of Katmandu probably already knows, bungie.com and Bungie's Halo site were both updated this evening, and the highlight of the update is a nearly inaccessible new trailer, in two flavors. The big version is 182 MB, the smaller version is 35 MB. Bachus has kindly written up a synopsis for those frustrated by the overwhelmed Microsoft servers... and when mirrors go up, we'll do our best to tell you about them. In the meantime, we've updated our Screenshots section with the two new shots Bungie released... you might find them easier to view here. :) Enjoy! (Louis Wu 04:36:53 UTC)

new Halo compilation movie available at MPZ
fAt1 from MPZ Halo writes to say that he's put together a new Halo compilation movie.
A little while ago I cut and pasted together a compelation of the most spectacular Halo clips from the Halo movies released so far, and I divided them up into sections like 'Interiors', 'Exteriors', you get the idea. If you look, you should be able to recognise lots of the e3 trailer, a fair whack of the nVidia promo and a bit of the MacWorld preview.
It's 5.5 MB zipped, in .asf format (you'll need Windows Media Player to view it), and while it doesn't contain new footage, it's a pretty nice composition. Release was delayed by the attempt to get permission to use parts of various movies. Check it out! (Louis Wu 14:03:49 UTC)

AdCritic's sponsor list incomplete?
Halo commercials aren't COMPLETELY ruled out yet - Massa, from Halonetwork.de, writes:
I read over at gamestar.de that Paramount is going to show a trailer for their upcoming Tomb Raider movie. I was quite sure that they weren't on the list and so I checked back at superbowl.adcritic.com - I was right, they aren't.
So... if the list at AdCritic isn't complete, then all hope isn't lost yet for a Halo ad. No promises... but we'll know for sure, one way or the other, later today. Thanks, Massa! (Louis Wu 12:13:00 UTC)

All-natural glitch-free goodness
Well, it only took 17 months, but it's finally been confirmed that those little blips in the MWNY 99 Halo trailer WERE natural life, and not glitches in the video - Nathan Bitner, former Halo producer and current head honcho of Island Four Software, stated on our forum
Natural life began to appear in the air with the very first trailer...
One can be seen at about 3:11 in the video, behind the Covenant flyer in the blue sky. Pax. (Crux Fidelis 10:05:44 UTC)

MSN highlights Halo
Jeff Campen noticed that the Halo trailer (The E3 2000 movie) holds a place of honor on the MSN WindowsMedia.com Broadband page... It's right up in the top section. (Not new material, but interesting placement.) (Louis Wu 20:51:37 UTC)

Ultimate Gamer posts some E3 trailer grabs
We just got mail from Geert Roete, saying that there are some Halo shots posted at the Dutch site Ultimate Gamer. They're just screen grabs from the E3 movie, though, and the text is very sparse (one sentence), so I'm not really sure what the deal is. You can go look anyway, though... there might be other stuff of interest. Pax. (Crux Fidelis 19:31:07 UTC)

Antebios has Halo bias (or vice-versa)
JosephAW noticed a computer animated short film ('Antebios') highlighted on the SciFi channel. The movie itself is visible on SfiFi.com's website... if you have a Macintosh, Netscape, and a (very) fast connection, the On2 link is pretty astounding. Otherwise, it's available in RealPlayer format. Joseph mentions it because the alien sounds a lot like the Covenant sound in the E3 trailer. (There are other similarities... the humans have projectile weapons, while the alien uses an energy weapon, the doors of the base used by the humans and the hallways in which they walk bear a striking resemblance to the ancient structure highlighted in the Halo movies... the alien (well, the 'good' alien) has hooflike feet, similar to the covenant... and more, if you want to watch it.) The film was made in 1998 by a French designer who (among other things) makes video games. Definitely worth a look, if you're on a fast connection! (Louis Wu 17:16:03 UTC)

Marty O'Donnell Interview at MacCentral
Thanks to TomeOne (via email) and edge (via our forum) for pointing out an interview with Marty O'Donnell at MacCentral. A snippet:
MG: What's involved in creating the alien language we hear in the trailer? It certainly manages to sound otherworldly, but also feels like there's dialogue and meaning, as opposed to just cool sounding noise.
MOD: Well, for this trailer we were in kind of a rush so the alien language is not necessarily the final content that you'll hear in the actual game. I'm not going to give away all my production secrets, but what you hear was based on the English language and I believe that we will actually try and develop a true alien language for the game. One of the cool things that the trailer shows is that not only will the Covenant have their own language, but they can also speak and understand English, if they need to.
Read the whole thing... as usual, Marty's got a lot to say! (Louis Wu 00:48:44 UTC)

Marty says narrator is Derek Procell
Marty O'Donnell (through Matt Soell) divulges the name of the narrator of the E3 Trailer Teaser - Derek Procell. A quick web search turns up a Country/Folk singer with the right vocal style... nice to put a face to the name! (Louis Wu 08:54:56 UTC)

CG group in the works
Matt Soell, online from Seattle and posting up a storm, confirms on our forum that Joe Staten and Marty O'Donnell will be heading up a new team devoted to making cool cutscenes and trailers. It was only a matter of time... the Halo engine looks fantastic for making gorgeous cutscenes in a fraction of the time that it would take with standard CG techniques. (Kudos to R.net, who picked up on this yesterday.) (Louis Wu 16:55:27 UTC)

CGI Halo preview, Part 2 online
Once again, kudos to edge, who noticed that Computer Games Online has part 2 of their Halo preview, "Bungie dreams of rings and things." As before, the info is quite good, and has some new tidbits; Jason Jones talks about how they decided what would go into the E3 trailer:
"We were trying to capture the core elements of both the single-player and multiplayer games such as stealing weapons, assaulting bases, grand vistas, sneak attacks—all the things we expect players to do."
There's also a nifty concept drawing of a human boat... first we've seen! edge seems to be working towards the HBO field reporter position... (Louis Wu 18:32:48 UTC)

E3 trailer dialog transcribed
Frederico Giacanelli writes:
I'd like to know if someone has written down all the dialogue lines of the E3 movie. While the general plot is quite clear to non-english speakers (as I am), some of the fast-paced phrases are not so intelligible.
Well, Frederico... so far as I know, no one had. So I did. You can find it here. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 04:44:09 UTC)

Cov needle gun modelled
Ian "I can't stop modelling" McConville has pumped out yet another Halo weapon model. This time, it's the Covenant needle gun, first seen in the E3 trailer, and most recently in the August issue of PC Gamer. Check it out! (Louis Wu 01:47:35 UTC)

New Covenant scans from CGM
Fred, of Rampancy Hotline, has upped scans from the August Computer Games Magazine, including a shot of two new Covenant. (One looks like an armored version of the stegosaurus-like creature seen in the E3 trailer.) R.net had some trouble getting them onto their web page... so Chia stepped in and made them available at VistaCartel. Swing by and take a look! Scan quality isn't perfect... but the pics are fascinating! (Louis Wu 01:57:38 UTC)

More trailer grabs at SpieleCity
Picky draws our attention to another Halo review, this time at SpieleCity, a German gaming site. This one contains quite a large number of screenshots from the E3 trailer, so if you're having trouble stomaching the huge download, this is worth a look. (Louis Wu 22:41:44 UTC)

E3 Trailer Mirror list expanded

Halo thumbs not taken from E3 trailer
Jeremy Roush comments upon the Halo thumbs we posted yesterday:
Just so ya know... neither thumb is from the trailer shown at E3, as the Green Marine is never among the other troops in such a fashion. He snipes the aliens in the opening shots, and then reappears to save the lone surviving Bob in the final few shots. He never appears in any shot with the jeep.
Thanks Jeremy. (Ding 07:45:46 UTC)

Close, but no cee-gar
That Wirehead has sharp eyes. He noticed that the thumbnail included in last week's PC Gamer buyout analysis was close, but not the same as, the thumbnail included in last month's Newsweek article. Seems both groups had access to the base material (probably the E3 trailer). Here's the two shots, for you to compare on your own:

| Newsweek, May 29 | PC Gamer, June 19 |
Soon, we hope to see the entire trailer! (Louis Wu 13:00:41 UTC)

PC Gamer named as US Trailer distributor
Oops, we missed this... thanks to R.net for noticing. The Daily Radar Teaser page specifies that it's PC Gamer that will have the E3 Trailer on its cover CD, ending speculation about which gaming mag would host the US version. (Louis Wu 02:25:42 UTC)
