That may not be the case -- according to someone's trailer analysis, that 'late' drop pod may not be the last, but the first:GodfatherX said:

I'm still hoping for a 3rd person game (with cover), but I would think that would be too much of a departure to still call it Halo 3: (Whatever). Maybe not.
If it is, calling it Halo 3: (Whatever) might be selling the title short because lots of people would naturally assume that it's merely an expansion pack when it would be worthy of being considered a full game on its own.

knowing how much their fans read into countdowns and teases i'd think bungie would've revealed more than this. too much baiting for just a teaser imo. it's odd how they like to interact with their community as much as they do while at times seeming so out of touch with them
but complaining that there's more halo is ridiculous. it's clearly not their only project and new ips are coming. if you don't like halo, then don't buy it. they're definitely not a one-track studio anymore
i'm looking forward to this, whatever it really is, with caution

GTFO if you are not interested in halo. Do you really think Bungie has been developing nothing except a halo 3 campaign expansion? Maybe it is part of their split agreement with MS to finish the expansion. I'm pretty sure Bungie is working on new IP's they just have not announced anything detail wise. And the Halo franchise has not been overdone, to compare whate are we on now number 3? What about final fantasy 13, resident even 5, or some other top game series.

Also, Bungie is most likely working on an additional project that isn't Halo related.

Just got home from work and haven't read the whole thread, so I apologize if this has already been mentioned, but something I noticed something offhand. Now I'm pretty rusty on the Halo lore, but the books are considered canon, even though they never reference them in the games for the most part (like the other surviving spartans, etc), right? Well we've got this image:

I don't specifically recall that, but if this was true, is it possible they could use this as a way to introduce Linda/Maddie, or some of the other surviving spartans, possibly leading ODST squads or something? The timeline technically fits; the New Mombasa attack happened on October 20th, 2552. According to Halopedia:
Probably reading too much into it, but kinda interesting.

Are you fucking kidding me? All the hype for that?
Ugh.

After all the hype, speculation and effort that went into promoting that I don't understand how you guys could be satisfied with a teaser like that.
Any other company would've released a name, release date, gameplay details or even videos, etc. But a teaser? And before anyone idiot tries to go "B-b-but what did you expect from a teaser?" nobody from Bungie ever said that what we were getting this morning was supposed to be only a teaser.

Yeah, it's pretty pathetic. I thought the industry was past this stage of hyping about hype about a CGI teaser about a game that we...don't even know what stage it's at.
It's just fucking tiring, this hype machine is out of control.

Was just reading Newsarama and they seem to think this will be released on January 6th. Where are they getting that date?

So, an expansion pack was the announcement too big for E3 that deserved it's own event?
It better be effing good.

what event?
Yes, it was a bonus video on the Halo 2 retail map pack. Bungie used it as an exercise to iterate on their cinematics pipeline when Halo 3 was in early pre-production.Doodis said:
I posted it many, many pages back when I was starting to get excited for an ODST-based shooter. Mmm mmmm mmmm.
Good.

Is this the right time period that this expansion is set in?

Well, not so much and event, I might be recalling wrong, but I remember the quote being that the announcement deserved its own event (not saying it got one).BakedPigeon said:

Oh shiiiiiiiiit.
Playing as the other Spartans would be so awesome. I recommend anyone who hasn't read "The Fall of Reach" to do so as soon as possible. It contains some awesome info on how John (Master Chief) and all the other Spartans grew up/died/etc.
Plus Captain Keyes fucking pwns the Covenant in an epic space battle in the book, too. :lol

Hmmm... my money is now on this being straight up Halo 3 gameplay, with you playing another spartan taking over fighting the covenant after In Amber Clad and Master Chief follow the covenant during Halo 2.
Like every other Spartan in books comics and elsewhere in halo mythos i'm sure you'll die heroically at the end or get trapped in some forerunner vault or something by the end of the game... just so they can keep Master Chief going as the one and only Spartan in the main series.

Thats exactly how I feel. Of course, some pple never watch the video of themselves going full killing frenzy, stciking a spiker that crosses a shield and results in a triple kill...with three seconds left...
THEN sending the guy you JUSt beat by one point the pic...priceless.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Here we are a couple months past E3 and all they have is a rendered teaser?
What were they planning on showing at E3, some doodles on a napkin?
They should kiss MS's collective asses for making them wait to show this. From where I'm sitting, it's still too early.
