Halo 3 "Starry Night" Commercial


On Monday night the new commercial for Halo 3 aired over some silly football game. Gay football aside, the ad is nice. You can check it out at Xbox's official site here, however even their supposed "high" resolution version looks like shit, and I recommend instead you head to TeamXbox here where you can both stream or download a standard or high def version. They also have several nice stills from the ad for your viewing pleasure.

One important thing to note is that this commercial is _not_ in game graphics, but is instead mostly CG work created by an outside, non-Bungie or Microsoft production company.

Cool things shown off in the ad (and yes, this is possibly spoiler territory):

- Possible the Master Chief, John, when he was a child
- A new kind of shield grenade
- Weapon storage on the Chief's armour
- A new look to the Brutes
- The simple truth that the war on Earth isn't going well for us humans

Watch, love it.
