The Incite movie was cool, real cool. It all just looked so purty. But the things that actually happened in the video were actually pretty boring, and inconsistent to boot. As Matt said, the little guy just sort of ran around and drove things. And then he walked right up to two covenant soldiers, who didn't react or move or anything. Definitely not representative of the game. Come to think of it, we've never seen ANY real fighting in the videos. (Sure, there's that bit in the Macworld trailer where the one covenant ship flips upside down and crashes, but the camera pans away just before he hits. Creative avoidance of rendering a crash, I'm thinking.)

So now it's sounding like we're gonna get to see some stuff getting blown up real good. Yeha! New stuff! Real new stuff too, not just a picture of the jeep from different angle.

And... dare I even think it? Some kind of multiplayer demo at E3, maybe?
