LOS ANGELES--Microsoft has released the Halo 3 announcement trailer on Xbox Live. The trailer approximately 104MB large, is available free on the Xbox Live Marketplace, the online service available to Xbox 360 owners.

To quote the accompanying text found on Xbox Live, Halo 3 is about Earth under Convenant rule: "With its defensive forces, all but obliterated, Earth has fallen to the unstoppable might of the Convenant. These alien occupiers have discovered something beneath the ancient African sands - something incredible... something Forerunner."

Halo 2 ended in a cliffhanger, with the Master Chief, the hero of the Halo series, returning to Earth in the midst of a climactic battle between the Covenant, an alien coalition, and Earth's defense forces. It has always been assumed that Halo 3 would pick up seconds after its predecessor left off, but it appears now that it's set sometime a bit later in the future.

The importance of a new Halo game for the Xbox 360 cannot be underestimated. The original Halo was a launch title for the first Xbox, and was easily the biggest hit driving sales of that system. Halo 2, which launched in 2004, became a cultural event, with thousands of gamers lining up for hours for the midnight launch. Halo 2 made entertainment history by generating $125 million in sales in one day. However, Microsoft didn't mention Halo 3 at all during last year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, and fans had been left wondering when the software giant would finally drop the big news. Well, the waiting has now come to an end.

^Thanks bloody^

I wasn't too impressed with the trailer. I think this game is overrated, don't get me wrong, I loved the game also. I bought the original XBox just for Halo 1, I didn't want any other games. Halo 2 came out, and the Solo gameplay sucked, but it more than made up for that with its multi mode on X-Live. All I am saying is I hope this one kind of puts the two games together and doesn't just focus on one part, because sometimes your in the mood to kill a ton of easy flood and sometimes your in the mood to kill a ton of easy noobs, and I didn't feel I could do that in the other ones.

prey just doesn't seem that great to me, it just seems like doom which I haven't enjoyed since the really old pixelated ones.

It better be is all im say'n. Hey this is an off the topic question, but does your guys original x-box games play kinda jerky, like its either loading too fast or too slow, on the 360?
