IGN: Pre-E3 2006: Halo 3 at E3
Just when I thought there was no news today, IGN steps up to the plate.
"With Microsoft, the rumors are always true. The next iteration in Bungie Studios' Halo series will appear at E3 2006 in video form at its Tuesday, May 9 news conference, IGN learned today from independent sources who recently spoke with Microsoft executives.[via: IGN]
The video is allegedly two minutes long, although its contents weren't divulged. We're guessing a wild breathtaking battle on Earth. Knowing Microsoft, the publisher will want to show all real, in-game engine footage to counter Sony's fantastical CG videos from E3 2005. When Microsoft was contacted, the company issued its standard reply, "We don't comment on speculation and rumors." "
Considering Halo 2 was supposed to be all about it being on earth, and then they scraped it at the last second (I know this because I did comps for halo2.com based on earth invasion, then everything changed) and put in the alien stuff, I think it is safe to bet it will be a huge earth battle with very nice locations via the 360.
The whole Mambosa thing might actually come back into play considering it was scraped.
