Xbox Live: Halo 3 expansion coming, possibly on Jan 6, 2009
Xbox Live is reporting, "High action and deep mystery await players in this new Halo 3 campaign experience. Prepare to drop!" -- looks like that mystery is solved. Additionally, Joystiq tipster Kyle C has found a date hidden in the teaser for Tuesday January 6, 2009 – see the photographic evidence after the break.
Mais teoriasThere is a building labelled traxus in the beginning.
-The camera angles are labelled
-Tanaga
-Lumumba
-Mbaraki
-Error (also flashes Sidiriyai and Makadara)
-Sign says "evacuate city of New Mombasa"
The rest is pretty self-explanatory.
We think it might be squad based because of the references by Captain DARE.
Looks like ODST drop pods to me, and there is the "prepare to drop" reference.
Mbaraki is Mombasa, so the cameras are showing views of New Mombasa.
The space elevator is intact.
There is a huge explosion with an EMP pulse.
I think we are viewing the moment in Halo 2 where Truth engages his slipspace drive in the middle of New Mombasa, destroying the city.
Could the expansion pack be the squad based game we've been hearing about, based on ODST troops, telling the story of Halo 3 from a different viewpoint, starting with the destruction of New Mombasa?
Maddie were are you?
Hey, there's a thought - maybe this expansion culminates in the sequence of events shown in the live action movies, i.e . ODST drop troops getting the laser marker to tag the Chief as he's falling back to Earth at the start of Halo 3 so that Johnson can find him?
So this expansion would actually tell the sequence of events that happened on Earth between the destruction of New Mombasa and the return of the Chief.
12 Secs in, you can see a Covenant Cruiser above the AMG(Mercedes) building, then it dissapears at 22sec. Then at the end of 24sec you can see that those are machines dropping from the sky. Like the ones in the Matrix. Actually they look like sperm at 25. Just black. Actually they are the drones from Ghost of Onyx.
at 44 sec in you can see the Cruiser taking up the whole skyline again, and then at 48 it's gone, after a message in frame 2 in sec 48 saying that Evacuation is complete.
it also says TANAGA - looking online TANAGA is a volcano in alaska - it did look like ash falling from the sky
Mbaraki is a medium sized naval port near mombasa
UPDATE: The video is now available via the Xbox Live Marketplace, and the synopsis reads: "High action and deep mystery await players in this new Halo 3 campaign experience. Prepare to drop!" Pretty much renders most of my analysis pointless, but only to the extent where we now know it's NOT Halo 4, as opposed to Halo 3.5. (Possibly...). Was right about the palm trees looking like they were from the Ivory Tree map though!
As you know, Bungie has just released a Teaser Trailer for one of their upcoming projects. A different project from Halo:Chronicles or even Halo Wars, many believe this upcoming title will be the fourth game in the main Halo series.
The Trailer itself was not very forth coming, showing only pre-rendered footage and cryptic messages. What does it mean - who knows, but here is our take on this anticipated little tid-bit from Bungie...
The trailers starts off with a panoramic view of what looks like an Human-style city, similar to that of New Mombassa from Halo 2. We then cut a brief cut to a drop pod descending through the atmosphere, before we are back looking at the city. The Drop pod itself looks human, like what an ODST would use, but it's quite frankly hard to tell. Flood maybe?
The next segment of footage shows more of this city, but also cut's to different angles and places, including a desserted side street. You can also hear faint gunshots in the distance, and the whole place looks like it's a bit war torn. Also, the view changes slightly, with symbols and text appearing in the corners, making it look like you are watching a feed of some kind.
The view then pans up and you can see hundreds of the glimpsed at drop-pods descending from the sky, and what looks like a massive explosion emanates from the center of the city. There are some jarred pictures, and then the screen goes dark.
After a brief pause, the image from the front-page splash where the countdown was shows up, except this time it is animated and going through what looks like an eccentric start up routine (AI maybe?), citing a 'Metropolitan Disaster'. We then see the city from the same angles as before, except this time everything is in ruins.
The video closes with the words 'Halo 3' and 'Prepare to Drop' flashing on the screen, as well as one of the drop pods coming at the screen head on.
And that's it. Not alot to go on really is there?
It is possible that the city we saw is either on Earth, or another Human Colony, as you can see the English words 'evacuate' in one of the scenes. The Drop pods however also looked like they were UNSC-made, and yet the explosion that occurred right before they landed looked like it was a plasma explosion.
Many beleive that the next Halo game will be a squad-based shooter, which would fit with the drop pod images, but the rest is a bit of a puzzle. The palm trees you can see also look exactly like the ones from the popular Halo 2 Multiplayer map, Ivory Tower. The mysterious City looked abandoned and deserted before hand, so perhaps the invaders were 're-taking' the planet?
Anything is possible at this point.
E começaram as teorias
Ainda assim, uma expansão deixa-me assim meio indeciso! Preferia uma coisa nova por parte deles! Um jogo diferente. A expansão para Halo 3 era o que eu menos queria. Não deixa de ser boa noticia, mas preferia outra coisa a uma expansão.
Diferente de HALO!! Mas eles la sabem...milking!!
Também reparei nisso, porque será que meteram a frase "Maddie, where are you?"O objectivo desta nova campanha é encontrar a maddie :O
A Bungie já veio esclarecer a referência a Maddie.
Como noticiámos ontem, no teaser trailer do novo trabalho da Bungie encontrava-se a frase “Maddie, where are you?”. Naturalmente, muitos pensaram que se tratava de uma infeliz referência ao desaparecimento de Madeleine McCann.
Mas segundo Luke Smith, argumentista da Bungie, tudo não passou de uma coincidência.
“Como sempre, todas as personagens dos nossos jogos são ficcionais. Qualquer semelhança entre a vida real e as personagens dos nossos jogos é pura coincidência.
“Dito isso, o que se passou foi uma infeliz e não intencional coincidência,” escreveu Smith nos fóruns da produtora.
Brian Jarrard, da Bungie, aproveitou o site de fãs halo.bungie.org para esclarecer a situação.
“Trata-se de uma infeliz coincidência, não havendo qualquer ligação entre o jogo da Bungie e o trágico desaparecimento da menina.”
Claro, o nome e a situação de desaparecimento é pura coincidência. "maddie where are you?" Isto é mesmo pura coincidência, não é pra chamar a atenção e fazer puoblicidade gratuita ao jogo pelos jornais desse mundo fora. Só coincidências =)
Há gente mesmo desesperada por ter bons lucros...
