After an unfortunate false-start at E3 2008, Bungie has finally revealed its hidden agenda for world domination. Today at 7:07am PDT, Bungie teased what appears to be a story expansion to Halo 3. Details are scarce but the trailer begins with falling escape pods onto a city landscape that seems ripped right out of Halo 2's infamous E3 in-game demo.
The trailer showcases a giant explosion that levels the clean city into a burning pile of rubble ending with the tag lines, Halo 3. Prepare to Drop.
If you ask us, this screams ODSTs! Not that we're swayed by the itchy typing fingers of hardcore fanboys and girls but we're all excited for whatever this title or expansion could mean for the Halo universe! Expect every morsel of information here on X3F as soon as it becomes available.

I definitely think ODST. Before the Spartans, these were the original Bad-A$$'s of the UNSC, and still a big staple of the defense forces. In any scene when MC comes in where there are humans alive and shooting, if they aren't crapping themselves they are the drop troopers.

Why on earth would you be "just about ready to sell you 360" with all of the great games coming out this holiday season. You serious?

Why would they land in a city and destory it? I have a feeling it could be a new enemy.

In the trailer, when the messages are scrolling really fast. One says "Maddie, Where are you", anybody know what that means?

The city is New Mombasa and it was most likely before the covenant attacked it. Notice the tower is still standing...
Could this be the battle of New Mombasa?
Also, if you pause the video, during the explosion the screen says "EMP trip detected"

and just in case you don't believe me...
14 seconds, look on the upper left of the video. It says City Of New Mombasa as well as Evacuate.
At 23 seconds you can clearly read EMP trip detected.

Good catch on the New Mombasa part. That's pretty critical info.

Also at about :38 it says "Danger Flood Zone". You have to keep playing and pausing really quickly. Now I don't know much about Halo(yet to play 1 and 2) but I did beat three, but could this be where they first incounter the Flood or does that happen in Halo 1?
Just trying to help. I'm very excited. Gives me an excuse to play Halo again.

oh man im hoping that they do ODSTs , i always thought they were badass in the books, it would be kind of sick if they did a new type of MP and 1p. if they did use the odsts then the game type should be a little slower because i dont think they are modified humans, just a thought

Ok, anybody else agree they should just tell us already? I am tired of hearing about new stuff from Bungie without them actually saying anything. So this new stuff deals with Halo 3, but them dragging it on is ridiculous me thinks. Just tell us.

Jesus Christ, my thoughts exactly. I really hate mysterious shit like this.

Hate it or not, they are masters of hype. Only J.J. Abrams and Apple really compare. You have to give them credit, the gaming community is turning its focus entirely on Bungie right now.
