Thread: Halo 3 Monday Night Football Trailer...

It was the girl's, right? Not suggesting MC's a girl, especially w/ that deep voice (unless she became a chain smoker early in life), but I do find that fact worth considering. Your thoughts?

The helmet appears where the girl was laying because, since everyone sort of agrees that the boy was John, he was looking over at the girl in his flashback. That's from his POV. When he finally comes to, he's in the same position he was when he was a child, looking where the girl was, but his helmet is there instead.

This is why I believe he looks at his hand. He doesn't know he's a Spartan when he comes to, he has to reassure himself.

Game Videos has a video that deconstructs the Halo 3 ad.

Mostly covered, but fun to watch either way. They have it on the site streaming and download links to the right of the video in better quality.

Check it here.
