A making of Halo 3 E3 trailer documentary is coming soon, and will feature some never before seen scenes according to Bungie.

Bungie's latest weekly update which mostly contains details on June's Playlist update, also includes an exciting bit of information on a Making of Halo 3 Trailer documentary.

"Some of our sharp-eyed fans may have noticed Marty hinted at an upcoming documentary on Bungie.net," writes Bungie's Frankie. "It was supposed to be a surprise, but since the man himself gave it away, we can in fact reveal that we have a documentary short that shows the process and people involved in making the E3 trailer, complete with some never before seen scenes (think angles, really) from the trailer."

Bungie versus Game Informer

360 News | Halo 3

In the continuing saga between Halo 3 developer Bungie and Game Informer, tidbits of gossip and internet chatter fly, further shrouding the true nature of one of the most anticipated games ever.

Ring-world rumblings

360 News | Halo 3

Friday 31 March 2006 Halo 3 is due for release in March 2007, according to a pair of sources close to Microsoft. Given Bungie's painstaking approach to development, and the tremendous lifespan of pre-release promotion that MS can wring out of the game, a 2006 launch date is looking nigh-on implausible, so this mooted ETA is no surprise. Does it really matter precisely when it may come out in 2007, though? As long as Microsoft has something to reveal at E3 - even if it's simply words, not ... » Read More

Bungie's next game is almost certain to be revealed in 2006, according to Microsoft's Peter Moore.

"We haven't made any announcements regarding the Halo franchise," Moore said in an online interview. "So Bungie is busy, they're an industrious bunch, and I think certainly this year, 2006, we might give you a peek at what Bungie is working on." But, reaallly, ... » Read More
