Alright folks it appears I have a news break for you! Seriously, by going through the Halo 3 video frame by frame with by brother (nate 1316) we were able to find things we couldn't find on any other site. Some of the things you may have noticed the first time, and others are obvious, but there are at least a few I didn't see until now.

Alright well sorry for the crappy sizes and spacing but I had a terrible time trying to get this to work...

Back to the good stuff. So here the explanations:

Picture Number 1:
New Warthog!

Confirmed it seems is a new Warthog type that holds more Marines. What else? September 25 my friends, September 25...

Picture number 2:
Brute's are beautifully ugly.

Nothing really new here except for how detailed the Brute's will be. There are other shots like this throughout the video where a Brute is growling and showing their teeth. Very cool.

Picture Number 3:
Flying Marines! It seems the buggers are back from Halo 2 and more pissed than ever. From this pic it seems they can grab fellow soldiers and hurl them where they want...Awesome!

Picture Number 4:
Civilian!

Here you can clearly see two new bits of awesomeness. First, the fact that civilians look to be a part of gameplay, and second that Brutes won't hesitate to rip them to shreds.

So there you have it. Fresh Halo 3 news you probably heard here first. Halo 3 for the first time has honestly impressed me graphically. The scale and detail seem to be a good fit and I simply cannot wait to play this game!!! There you go GearHeads...News about Halo 3 it seems broke here first...GO GEARHEADS!

be an ass, but I actually spotted the new warty first ;). I think I put it in the Halo trailer diary, but I'm not sure. Other than that, great finds. I never would have noticed the civilians. As of now, the campaign is really all I am looking forward to for Halo 3.

Ya I figured (none / 0)

everyone would have noticed at least one of these things, if not more. But, like I said no major site seems to have any of this info up. Buggers Carrying Marines? Brutes throwing civilians? Great stuff

  just wait until e3 is over. All of the major sites will start putting up dissections and poor SweetTea won't get any credit... :(

Hey Nate and Nick (none / 0)

Great stuff, good eye! Thanks for the info. The addition of interactive civilians is especially excellent.

- Civilians (none / 0)
  
  I have to admit, I am interested to see if Bungie do add this element to the whole game. It would be a new addition to most shooters, having to avoid killing civilians, maybe even protecting them. I like it. It gives the game more realism, even if they are thrown into the mix as background. It creates the feeling of crisis and dire consequences for failure.
  Let's keep our fingers crossed.
  
  Ready to finish all the Fights!

Thanks for pointing these out. That trailer was AWESOME indeed! I think this game will be worth it for sure.

I wonder if... (none / 0)

the extra people in the warthog is going to carry over into multiplayer? For all we know this could've been a new idea put in after the beta? Spartan laser + Fully loaded new warthog.... :O
OH DA BABIES!

  in the 3rd screenshot. If you look closely you can see it all the way on the right, the last grenade type. Its kind of faded so look closely.

        the Bubble Shield? If so, then no its not that. When you pick that up its listed under the grenade types. This is a new grenade for Halo 3 that hasnt been shown yet. Although, the Bubble Shield is the shit!

Hey I just looked at (none / 0)

another piece of footage and there is only 3 grenade types...?! Maybe the player just didn't have that grenade at the time... Oh and Ninja attacks would be sweet....if done right. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the different armor plays out
