The long awaited Halo 3 has finally surfaced. It was shown for the first time at E3 this week. Bungie's Frank O'Connor had a few things to say about the game's announcement trailer."The trailer was built to have minimum impact on the development process, and while it required long hours and hard work from many, many Bungie staffers, it utilizes real-game assets, fiction and locations from part of the real' game."

The two-minute trailer is able to answer some of those questions that you were left with at the end of Halo 2, although it also manages to make you wonder even more, making clear that fact that the Covenant has conquered earth.What about Master Chief and Cortana, who both show up in the trailer?

CJ Cowan, the director of cinematics at Bungie, explained, "Given the variety of character and story arcs at the end of Halo 2, we wanted to boil down our announcement to a few key threads. Cortana and the Chief being a galaxy apart is a situation we haven't seen before, and is something that is a powerful component to Halo 3. We are using her transmissions in the demo to give the viewer a few subtle clues to her situation and state of mind, without revealing any specifics we want to save for the game itself."
