For months we've known what both the Halo 3 Legendary Edition and the Limited Edition will look like, but we've been in the dark to what artwork will grace the standard edition. But alas, last night Cocopjojo from the HBO forums noticed that Amazon.com posted never before seen cover art for their Halo 3 standard edition listing. Will this be the final box art for the standard edition? It's entirely possible, but until Bungie chimes in we just can't be sure. Halo 3 standard edition's possible cover art is posted after the break. We ask, are you loving it?[Via HBO]

He looks tough. Of course Master Chief could be a woman. I would make out with Master Chief if she were a woman.
They should make a Fathead poster of Master Chief. Make this happen, Fathead!

PLEASE don't say 'Are you loving it?' any more, Dustin. Warn David and Richard, too.
Paris Hilton should be spear-gunned in the head Crackdown-style into a garbage truck and left there to swing as I drive the truck into a river.
Thank you.

I wonder if the fact that Air to Air missiles being shot at the banshee in the background means the humans have a flight vehicle now that is not the pelican?

Freakin' Awesome! This cover art (as strange as it sounds) makes me want to buy the game more. Weird, I know. The last cover art was lame. You don't usually see cover art that looks kickass, these days. I give them props.
@Xeros606
It makes it look better, really. It has a form to it that makes Master Cheif look like he's coming at you. Instead of being flat like many other cover arts. It doesn't look suspicious at all, just ingenious use of art.

Toph: This time there was no intentional Paris Hilton reference (though they are fair game). My love it comment was inspired by Cold Stone Creamery's latest commercials.

I feel ya, Dustin...sorry...I just hate that burning sensation I get when I'm blindsided by Paris/Farah Fawcett/Hilton in an otherwise male dominated enviroment. It's worlds colliding!
Haha!

I hope it's fake, on account of its high lameness factor.

I think it's fine, although I think the AR looks a bit simplistic. I'd rather see the portable turret, with barrels still steaming from a recent assualt. Or maybe the shotgun.
I think the forward running motion is good though. Gives a sense of urgency to the cause.

I hate it. I don't like the way Microsoft is plastered all over it. I really hope this is the final cover art.

I noticed this on amazon.com last night actually, should have sent it in. Anyways, I think it looks incredible. I like how MC is in action and in the front, but there is still a lot of action and depth in the background unlike Halo 2.

Looks real to me, can't see why Amazon would grab any old fake boxart to display on their site.
Suck it in, fanboys.
