That is a great ad. I like. Doesn't make me want the game anymore than I already did, but very nice.

I'm not a big fan of Halo, I don't plan on getting Halo 3...but these ads are awesome.

Is this for the PS3?

I don't agree with you guys, i BELIEVE that this ad makes me want halo 3 moar.

see what i did there?

If you can't appreciate the awesomeness of this ad, then you=fail, regardless of Halo like or dislike.

lol i like the totally generic name....john but great a, i like the xbox ads cause they make sense unlike the ps3 ads. these kind of ads might even make me buy the game, out of priciple

Amazing ads. Take note, Sony.

Yes Sony please take note. This is what makes a good ad. Not a crying baby. Not 4 white walls. We don't want to leave you ad trying to figure out that the fuck we just saw.

What they need to do is a TV spot with Boston's More Than A Feeling playing in the background.

you mean 10 days midnight opening im a fanboy for good games =]

I love this ad it's cool. cant argue that its not a good ad. But I still am not going to buy halo

These ads are made of 100% WIN.

Fight it, Linde! Fight it!

These ads are well done. A lot of time and money went into that model.

For anyone who isn't a foaming-at-the-mouth Halo fan, though, they look really pretentious. Way to spend millions of dollars doing a retrospective on FANTASY. Might as well make a documentary about Sonic the Hedgehog.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Advertising is the science of arresting human intelligence long enough to take money away from it.

the whole monument one is kinda meh because of the guy talking.....trying to convince the viewer to get some sort of emotional connection with chief, who has always been a bland, lets blow something the fuck up kind of character, makes me feel embarrassed watching it. Literally.

However.....the one with the piano and stuff is really good i must admit. I may not be the first to come up with this assessment, but i think this whole figurine depicted battle is going to be the final level on Halo 3, which really seems like it is going to be one intense adrenaline ride. Which is always fun

Conclusion: Halo 3 is going to be a badass game, which i will purchase. I'm not going to stand here and claim it to be the best, but i'm not going to go with the generic opinion of "wow cool trailer, really liked it, but still not buying it" approach. Great trailer, but the believe thing is kind of fucking stupid.

However, you can't deny that our country's society has become obsessed with vanity. Which is kind of what happened to the Rome....well, before it fell. Won't be any Chief around to save our ass then though, because it won't be the covenant doing the damage.

Vos, that is undoubtedly the weirdest shit I've ever heard on Dtoid.

for a better understanding

google satire.

So, does this mean the Chief dies in Halo 3?

You know, I totally posted a comment here yesterday and the Dtoid totally ate it like a bitch.

Anyway, the gist of what I said was, the "Believe" ad is brilliant. It gave me chills and almost brought a tear to my eye. That's what I love about Halo. It is, essentially, a sci-fi/fantasy action epic, much in the same vein as the LOTR movies, or Star Wars. Sure, it may not be an intellectual masterpiece like, say, Metal Gear Solid, but it certainly does a brilliant job with its mythos and giving the audience those action movie "money shots" - such as a lifeless Chief suddenly coming to life, activating a plasma, and looking at the camera. Well-played, Bungie.

I liked that video. Very detailed models. :o
