Well, finally. Something substantial from Bungie. Looks like we’ve got a brand new campaign with a new hero and a brand new game that’s tied to the Haloverse. Halo Jesus! Praise be it’s name!
When is it coming out? Check out the trailer for yourself, after the jump.
I’ve got to say, this looks pretty cool. Judge for yourself:
Fall 2009. My only question is whether or not I’ll be able to dual wield that silenced SMG.

4 Edthefreak // Oct 9, 2008 at 4:31 am
Haha, it WAS an ODST game by the looks of it. Silenced SMG? Halo’s crack at tacticalness of GRAW and Vegas?

But…. ….it didn’t tell you anything…

Ummm, commander 121, Its orbital drop SHOCK troopers. Go read up first, please.
Oh, and lono, there aint silenced SMGs in halo 3.

I would cry myself to sleep if that was ingame footage.
8 NuclearNinja1429 // Oct 9, 2008 at 6:58 am
Awesome but it looks like we got some time to wait and is that a disc or DLC.
And it’s kinda like Halo Eagle Eye.

@stupidpower
Ummmm, did you not see the silenced SMG the ODST was holding?
10 stupidpower // Oct 9, 2008 at 7:58 am
@paradox
Oh, sorry, I saw the low res version from bungie.net. Looked like a battle rifle.
11 Artemas // Oct 9, 2008 at 8:40 am
YAY, ODSTs!! If our money is still worth anything by fall 2009 this might be something good.
12 TJ // Oct 9, 2008 at 9:15 am
Wow thats pretty awesome. I am interested to see as more details come out.
13 Ummm... Yeah // Oct 9, 2008 at 9:57 am
Ya, its pretty badass. It would be nice if Lono and the SGP crew would admit that they were WRONG when it came to Bungie’s big announcement. It wasn’t the title update, guys. It was this. But maybe it’s on the forums somewhere. I don’t know, but I’m not sure if the ODST is the new hero or just another one of them. Also, this seems like an expansion, but at the same time a prequel, you know how the ODST’s and marines were on Earth when Master Chief got there? It’d make sense if it were a standalone disc, but with Halo 3 in the title, it could be DLC. Keep your eyes on bungie.net for more info.
14 Lono // Oct 9, 2008 at 10:05 am
What exactly were we wrong about?
15 Archivist777 // Oct 9, 2008 at 10:26 am
ooh, yay, this looks very promising! I wonder if the new hero will be someone we might have read about in the books or if it’s someone completely new to the Halo universe.
16 HeavenlyYeti // Oct 9, 2008 at 10:52 am
it is not DLC. Microsoft says that it will be on a standalone disc. I think Bungie saw this coming, though.
“Halo 3 is the end of this story arc.”
So, no Halo 4 yet, but who says they can’t pull a Half-Life?
17 Animathias // Oct 9, 2008 at 11:13 am
If they released *this* at the end of that countdown instead of the stripped down version, there wouldn’t have been much to make fun of them about.
We weren’t wrong, they hyped up a teaser trailer to no end, then they release this one out of nowhere. This should have been at the end of that countdown.
18 Lono // Oct 9, 2008 at 11:30 am
Again, what were we wrong about?
Disappointment in a teaser trailer is wrong, or something?
19 Sarge // Oct 9, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Lono, I think the “wrong” part is reference to the podcast where you guys made a joke of the teaser just being the title update. I think some think that was all serious.
This game looks promising so far. I just wish it wasn’t a year away. Next fall will be full again with this, COD6 and whatever other goodness comes out.
And why is it everywhere this news shows up, there is someone saying “I called it”? Half the internet “called it”.
20 Archivist777 // Oct 9, 2008 at 1:34 pm
If it was a joke in the podcast, then I’ll admit I didn’t get it either. I thought they were being serious when they said the Bungie countdown was just for the title update and that the Halo fanboys were probably disappointed. I remember being confused at the time, because I thought the countdown was for the teaser trailer of this new game.
21 Lono // Oct 9, 2008 at 2:10 pm
We were joking that the countdown only led up to the title update, but we were “in reality” disappointed in the teaser trailer.
22 HeavenlyYeti // Oct 9, 2008 at 2:53 pm
are you… Disappointed in THIS trailer?
23 Lono // Oct 9, 2008 at 3:04 pm
No… geez… the OTHER teaser trailer…
24 HeavenlyYeti // Oct 9, 2008 at 4:06 pm
LOL
Just messing with you.
25 NarkJoe // Oct 9, 2008 at 4:21 pm
I think that this disagreement has gone on too long.
This game looks tight. I’m very excited.
26 NoneOfYourBusiness // Oct 9, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Is it a game or a standalone expansion? Like will it have all of Halo 3 on it + or is it a prelude to it….and only a prelude to it, with online support.
27 ObviouslyNot // Oct 12, 2008 at 11:32 am
@NoneOfYourBusiness: Standalone Expansion
THAT LOOKS SO FRICKIN’ AWESOME!!!
