If there is a marine modeled after Luke, you won't have to make sure he lives. You'll be more concerned about getting kills of your own. "Goddammit, that fucking marine went ahead and killed all the Brutes again! What the fuck? I want some kills too, you bastard!"

Luke Marine should just talk sweet love to his BR all the time. (Luke is the one that loves BRs, right?)

 

[Falagard]

did they make that ad using the halo toys? really looks like it....

edit: ah ha, it is -_-

Um no.

"Through the eyes of celebrated Hollywood creature designer Stan Winston, known for his landmark work on Aliens and Jurassic Park;, as well as New Deal Studios, model creators for Spiderman 3, 300 and Superman Returns, and acclaimed director Rupert Sanders, people will experience a dramatic and moving look at mankind’s struggle against our future enemy, the fierce warrior force known as the Covenant."

They were hand created miniatures. Work of that scale is something usually seen only in movies like Lord of the Rings, which relied on tons of miniatures for things like Helm's Deep, Minas Tirith, etc.

And snipers.

Love the second ad, even if the Chucky-meets-MC movement is creepy. I hope to see a battle that big somewhere in the game.

As in like TV Channels? I think these are an internet preview for now. I know they're showing the behind the scenes making of during Monday Night Football though, so maybe thats when they start airing.

That'll probably come only with the Halo 3 Xbox 360.

 

[hotsauceiswack]

Oh hell yes that new ad is full of win. I think they should mix the two ads together. Start off with the old guy at the earth museum, zoom in on the exhibit and all the WIN from the second add.

 

[Doodlebug]

That's an interesting interview at Shacknews.

 

[MirageDwarf]

From Shacknews, ignore if posted already.

Shack: What's next for Bungie?

Frank O'Connor: Very specifically, we're working on downloadable content for Halo 3. It'll be multiplayer stuff--the kind of things people expect, the kind of schedule you can guess. Unfortunately some people are already back from their post-ship vacations and working on that.

DLC is never based on scraps we swept away from past games, it's always new maps we decided would be good for specific reasons. For example, we already now see there will be a need for more smaller symmetrical maps.

We have meetings--what would be a cool environment, are there any ideas from old maps we could use. We just treat it like making a new game, with concept art and storyboarding. We're already doing some geometry, but there's a lot of polish left to do before those become real maps.

 

[ALeperMessiah]

From Shacknews, ignore if posted already.

They also said that there next project (after halo 3 dlc) is the Peter Jackson thing. Pretty cool.

 

[GeoNeo]

Maybe, but I found it strange that it was under the "What’s Hot on Marketplace" list. Not a bad theme at all to be honest.

 

[Dirtbag]

I'm so happy with the ad campaign. The tone of it is all so pitch perfect.
It really makes you appreciate the scale of what the game is all about.

Reminds me of the time I said that Apple Juice looked like piss and someone told me to go to a doctor if my piss looked like apple juice.

But...Back to Halo...Will the ads air as one ad? or as 2 seperate ones? Are they drastically different? I can't view the second one until I get home.

 

[urk]

Nah. You just need to hydrate. Now, if your piss tastes like apple juice, then yeah, you need to seek professional help for a variety of reasons.

Are you saying you want me to let you taste my piss? I draw the line at having you in my ear...

I think the shortened "teaser" ad that was aired yesterday will be the television ad. Usually, commercials are only 15 secs-45 secs. I've seen one as long as a minute. But I don't really think they'll air anything longer than that.

Spoiler

A shameless attempt to get this thread back on track

 

[Sandman42]

Someone would have to shrink it first, it's way too big.

 

[MaX_PL]

You have to upload it somewhere, like Imageshack. Then use the direct link code in the avatar bit.
