Brand spankin' new shot of (not) Halo 3

Microsoft was in such a hurry to get the word out on the Halo 3 public beta sign up and commercial that they forgot to distribute the image above (download the Supersize version here). The shot does not come from Halo 3. Rather, it comes from the upcoming commercial airing on Monday. The commercial, as announced before, will be entirely CG and will contain no actual gameplay footage. it's worth noting, though, that a number of models in the commercial are actually the same models used in the game. According to Bungie, the idea behind the commercial is to give the viewers and idea of what Halo would be if it were actually real (and perhaps a clue as to what the postponed movie has in store). And there you have it, another screenshot (that isn't even from the game proper) that will be dissected endlessly on forums until the game's release.

Just another reason why the Halo Movie should be done Entirely using GC.

very nice. Seems to me that Master Chief is kneeling down and consulting a map, you can see the reflection in his lovely golden visor. Anyone (with better image enhancement capabilities than me) able to work out what he's looking at? Maybe he's just learning his way around some new multiplayer maps..?

In his visor: I see a sad face in the snow. And what looks like a banshee wing of the far side. Weird...
