We’ve seen Steve’s take on what to expect from the upcoming Halo 3 expansion, but I have a different idea. I see the pods dropping, but I just don’t see them as the focal point of the video; that would just be too easy. I think, perhaps, the folks at Bungie are giving you that to lead you down a path of speculation that is incorrect.
The more I watch the trailer, and by now I have to have watched it a few dozen times and framed through it to catch certain details, there are lots of small clues scattered throughout the 60 second clip, enough to make me believe that it is more than just a drop ship game and we are marines again. It seems to take place on what is now the New Mombasa city and what is classified as a natural disaster has occurred and humanity has been instructed to evacuate.
My view from the teaser is that this may be a post apocalyptic view of the Flood being unleashed on humanity. You play as one of the citizens of Mombasa and try to stay alive in a city that is ravaged, with your only hope being the dropping pods. I would envision the game to be more like a survival horror game where you must survive and perhaps help the marines.
Some of you have already probably received the message on your Xbox Live account from MS that service will be interrupted on April 1, 2008
This is what Gamerscore Blog wrote:
We’re hearing that Xbox LIVE and Xbox.com will be down for routine maintenance for about three hours on Tuesday, April 1, from 2-5 AM PDT (0900-1200 GMT).
Here is what the message from Xbox Live reads on our machines:
Xbox Live will be unavailable for approximately 3 hours on April 1st 2008 to upgrade the service starting 2PM PDT.
Subtle yet different, the quote from Gamerscore Blog leads us to believe that it is just normal site maintenance while the one in our Xbox Live accounts lets us know that it is some kind of upgrade? Perhaps a new “spring update” for us all or just a dirt dirty April fool’s joke to toy with our emotions! Rather interesting since people were so up in arms after the past Live outage, risky to say the least, perhaps it has something to do with the new Halo maps?
Ok in case there were any non-believers in this game and it’s ability to shine on the PS3, just watch the video. This game is pretty, the combos are sick and it looks to be a must have.
But the real moral of the story is “the pen is mightier than the sword”, would have been funny if Nero just beat the guy with the book. And who brings a lance to a fight, pistols and a sword versus a huge ass lance, call me when they get on horses and joust, LOL.
We're like Spaceballs... we're making Loot Ninja everything. Coming soon we'll have hats, shirts, hoodies, possibly banana hammocks if one Editor has his way...
