Okay, Halo was great and I enjoyed playing it for hours then Halo 2 shipped and the single player Cliff Hanger made me mad. I just thought it could have been done in a different way. I recently mentioned I hoped that Halo 3 would not only play great but tell the story just as well. Wednesday of this week Microsoft and Bungie sent out a press release talking about a new ad campaign. Since then rumors are flying around the internet that Master Chief will indeed die in Halo 3 and from the first video it seems this way. Of course this is a clever new marketing blitz for the release of Halo 3. The detailed look of each modeled character and the emotions heard from the ones who where there in the epic battle are outstanding. Of course the Halo 3 survivors and those not so lucky have been hand made into a 360 degree model that looks very realistic. Halo 3 fan boys where so eager for more that the second video somehow was leaked within hours and fueled the story of John’s death even more. I personally think the hero lives on but we will all see when the game ships. Until then you can visit the new site and see what the entire buzz is about. It seems all the movies will be on the marketplace as well for download. If the site is maxed you can also see the first 2 movies here. I think this is a great move on Bungie and Microsoft’s part and maybe one of the best marketing campaigns ever created for a video game.
