Update: The video’s being pulled apart all over the web. See here.
It’s here. It shows city streets burnt out after a meteor impact and a “Halo 3″ logo, followed by the words “Prepare to drop.”
The video has the Microsoft Game Studios logo at the end of it.
And that’s that. Watch it. We’re just sorting out a local version.
Update: You can watch it after the break now as well.

I kinda expected something… well a little more… I dont understand
September 25th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Oh. And here’s everyone thinking it’s going to be a new game. It’s some sort of Halo 3 extension then? How disappointing.
September 25th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
It looks like the boot sequence from Robocop, but nowhere near as good.
September 25th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Well that was a complete non-event
Oh well, back to counting the minutes until Wipeout!
September 25th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Blerk what are you on about? If it’d been a new Halo game how would it have been any LESS disappointing?
September 25th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Got a big “meh” around the office here. I think everyone was expecting to be less confused and a bit more intrigued. “Didn’t we already have Halo 3?”
September 25th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
So, it’s Halo 3: DLC.
Why would they bother to pull that from the E3 conf when it would have been a nice little surprise reveal at the end? On it’s own, it’s just a bit of a meh announcement.
September 25th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
I just wasted a a few minutes of my life downloading and then watching this GIVE ME BACK THAT TIME I WASTED.
September 25th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Just added a local version of it to the story. So you can watch it over and over again
September 25th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Halo 3.5 big fukin wow.
Game Hype is starting to make me feel more and more jaded.
September 25th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
“Prepare to drop”
Suggests we’ll be playing as ODSTs*, the Helljumpers. The badassiest of the badass non-augmented soldier dudes.
Those aren’t meteors, those are drop-pods.
In other words, squad-game.
*Orbital Drop Shock Trooper

UNLESS…. it’s sort of a ‘total conversion’ mod, which turns your Halo 3 into something else entirely. Although why that wouldn’t have been done as a totally separate game, I dunno. So it probably isn’t. Like.
September 25th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Erm. Anyone spot the “Maddie where are you?” text?! :-O
September 25th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
That is a bit O_o
September 25th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
I’m surprised Americans even know who she is.
September 25th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
I said AEONS ago the next Halo would be a squad thing. So colour me slightly more interested than if it’d just been some lame arsed lone wolf type of dealio.
September 25th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I believe it’s been confirmed on Live that it’s an expansion to Halo 3. What that actually entails is another thing. I’m not sure if they’re able to retroactively add squad-based control though. Could be rather tricky.
September 25th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
The Maddie line was a rather daft idea.
September 25th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Looks like people are frame-by-frame analysing this thing already.
September 25th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
“I’m surprised Americans even know who she is.”
“The Maddie line was a rather daft idea.”
Really think it’s reffering to the same Maddie?
September 25th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Literally Halo 3.5….
When Halo 3 was already 2.5 xD
So now we have Halo 3 definitely.
(Sony!! Heads up on a KZ2 expansion… Oh Wait it’s not out yet)
September 25th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Very strange. I really like the graphical style of the trailer though.
September 25th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
If that’s in-game graphics what they show in this teaser, colour me interested.
The one thing that confuses me though, is it being Halo 3 …
September 25th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
@ Psychotext
… yes, me too, I like the colours and the lighting!
September 25th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Yeah, I doubt it will be… being a Halo 3 expansion and all. =/
September 25th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
It’s 2D, you can see from the effects when they try to make ti collapse.
So I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s not ingame.
But I will say you guys shouldn’t be down on a Halo 3 expansion. That’s like gold. Don’t sweat it, it will be substantial and fun.
September 25th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
“Really think it’s reffering to the same Maddie?”
As narrow focused as US news media can be it ran with the story just like everywhere is did.
September 25th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I doubt it’s the same person. It would have never got past MS’s anal PR people.

rofl its an expansion pack
September 25th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
We already knew that David…
September 25th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
OK silly question coming up.
Will this be single player or multiplayer or both.
Thanks in advance.
September 25th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
@Psychotext
well I don’t mean to be rude but so what if you knew the picture is for lol’s. They pretty much ruined bungies little teaser none new’s.
September 25th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
I’m not entirely sure how they ruined it. The trailer says Halo 3… not “New Bungie game”.
September 25th, 2008 at 5:34 pm

September 25th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Yes, to be honest with th hintings I was expecting a new game.
September 26th, 2008 at 8:55 am
I wasn’t.
I don’t like new. New scares me.
