Re: Observations
Posted By: Guesty-Persony-ThingyDate: 12/7/06 4:57 p.m.

In Response To: Observations (Infirm)

: Bungie did not put anything into this commercial by accident. Frankie from
: bungie.net expressly stated that in a faq recently about the commercial.

: After reading every reply in this particular post and watching the trailor
: like an obsessed person I've come up with a list of conclusions. Certain
: aspects are non-negotiable facts and observations.

: 1. The kids are not wearing shoes when the trailor starts (this statement is
: a non-negotiable fact). This doesn't add clarity as to their identity, but
: it does not rule out whether or not they are spartans. There could be many
: reasons for this. My personal opinion would be that they are spartans
: taking a quick break while on a training op on Reach. I am currently a CPL
: in the US Army and whenever you stop and pull a patrol base and you aren't
: in imminent danger those who are sleeping take off their boots and socks.
: This is to prevent people from getting blisters and to air out your feet.

: 2. To support the idea of the patrol base; it is common military procedure to
: move out before dawn during the period when the sun begins to lighten the
: horizon. This is because most military movement occurs at the break of
: dawn or during the twilight provided by the rising sun. This would explain
: why the little girl says "time to go" after the flash back has
: ended.

: 3. I believe the children are spartans also due to their clothing. If they
: were children from our present time I highly doubt a young girl would be
: wearing black slacks and a dark colored plain t-shirt. You can go outside
: and look at kids today to verify that opinion.

: 4. The hair styles the children have does not point decisively as to whether
: they are civilian or military.

: 5. The sky most probably isn't Earth's sky as a Nebula would not be visible
: and the Aurora Borealis isn't a whispy blob with a glowing center (this is
: a non-negotiable fact). Of course this could be wrong if Bungie screwed up
: with how the night sky on the planet Earth looks like. For some reason I
: doubt it.

: 6. The helmet seen in the dark grass is the same helmet the MC puts on his
: head (this is a non-negotiable fact). This is obvious if you look at the
: scratches in the visor and on the helmet. For all of you doubters turn up
: the brightness and pay close attention to the scratches in the visor. The
: scratches are there before the scene change and they are there after.

: 7. The sound heard right before the end of the flashback is not a child
: screaming, but a dramatized rendition of artillery flying overhead (this
: is a non-negotiable fact). Falling artillery shells really do scream when
: they miss.

: The rest of the trailor is the action sequence. The only conclusion I came to
: was that the MC was running toward the vortex/ crater we see in the E3
: announcement trailor. The vortex can be seen in the back ground while the
: chief is jumping.

: That is my analysis of the trailor. It looks amazing and only makes me hunger
: for the game more and the now post-poned movie. I wish money weren't an
: issue...

Brilliant! You deserve a sandwich. My only hope is that you find out that I think that way and eat a sandwich while waiting for me to type this message responding to your post.

1. Brilliant!
2. Brilliant!
3. That's the kind of stuff I wear, but I'm weird! Brilliant!
4. Okay.
5. Brilliant!
6. I thought it was just dirt! Brilliant!
7. Brilliant!
