  • i used to think its stupid for such a graphically advance game to have dolls featured in its commerical, but after watching the making of this ad/monument, i was really amazed.

  • you are all gay whoever hated this vid u son of a bitches

  • i haven't seen this is in months and it still gives me chills when master chief looks up.

  • i knew this piece before halo :) kudos for chopin players everywhere who loves his music <3

  • hello i'm m4stur ch33f lololololololololololololololo­l

  • amazing and i own a ps3

  • get a shiver when i watch this

  • makes me think of what could happen in the furture  ...believe...

  • Lol I went to the site and was ageist and said: "Sorry, you do not meet the minimum age requirements to view this"

  • this is wicked.... i've seen how they made this.... everything is hand made!!!

  • Ah man, I love that music... I know its gay... But still, anyone know what it is?

  • prelude no.15 in d flat major by chopin

  • really??

    sounds very halo-like XD

  • its not gay its good music

  • yeah prelude no.15 i think it's called raindrops.

  • Are they serious? They really made a monument to commemorate Master Chief and the fallen and victorious heroes of Halo 3??? (I think I might have accidentally gotten one killed) Pretty cool though. Glad you put this here. Their excessive obsessiveness was actually put some really creative use.

  • you know, Halo isnt just a shooter game but also portrays of how a war like this can actually destroy civilization. Halo has a reason, a point, and a purpose not just for gamers, but also for the fact of what humans have all been long fighting for...freedom.

  • omg your gay

  • do me

  • yea i know that, but wat i meant was, it was picked to be one of the themes for the game.

  • Epic advert and not at all over the top Lol.

  • i don't listen to music like this, piano, synphony, orchestra, but this song is awsome!

    especially since it was 4 Halo 3

  • lulz the music wasnt made "4 halo 3"

  • I think this (and other artwork sketches) really show just how brutal and gruesome the war was from a more realistic perspective. Far different from what it's like in the games. The city is in complete ruins. And look at all the Marines fighting hordes of Brutes at spitting range, slaughtered by the waves, and the look of despair and weariness on their faces.

    Some of the veterans said they ran out of ammo and had to salvage what they can, but had hope when they saw MC prime his grenade...

  • Master Chief couldn't have killed all of them with the grenade. Besides, the veterans were talking about different battles, not just this one. (And I though it was Sierra 117)

  • It's deeper than a commercial, it shows how even as man fights itself today in times of great need we pull together, fight as one. the music (raindrop by chopin) makes a very moving image, one word to describe this, beautiful

  • agreed

  • This ad is even better than the "Mad World" Gears of War ad!

  • this is the battle taking place between the humans and the remaining brutes on earth while he Master Chief is activating the ARK

  • To be honest, this is the best commercial I have ever seen. Slow, methodical, doesn't sell anything directly, just puts the name out. Most commercials try to make an unrelated story that somehow relates to you needing to buy the product, but not this.

    Not only that, but they used my favorite piece of classical music. Chopin makes this commercial something special.

  • How would they do that with Video Games? "You need this product because you become master chief!" They have to show it like this. However, it is a good commercial.

    Too bad they canceled Halo 3 the Movie :'(

  • @russetwolf13 not all the ads work that way, this sisomo was good, yes, but is not the only one, you can find lots of this type everywhere in youtube; yet this piece won a Gold Lion@Cannes.

  • @russetwolf13 not all the ads work that way, this sisomo was good, yes, but is not the only one, you can find lots of this type everywhere in youtube; yet this piece won a Gold Lion@Cannes.

  • HOLY CRAP! Did I miss something? When did this ever take place? Halopedia says the battle is called "The second battle for new mombassa so when did this ever happen in the Halo timeline?

  • u see a face in the golden bit

  • SO Inspiring!

  • THE BEST

  • best ad EVER

  • respectivly, COD4 is a very good game, but still, nothing compares to Halo 3

  • nope more ppl like like COD than halo im sorry but its true have you seen xbox live lately??? its usually no less then 200,000 ppl on at once

  • LOL COD4 PWNZ U DONT KNOW SHIT!!!!

  • fuk yea animefreak336 knows wat im talkin bout

  • cal of duty is trailer trash 1 2 and 3 were crappy and 4 hardly makes up for the failures of the past although it is a good game the entire halo trilogy has been good through the years and it sold more games than cod4 on its first day than the whole release week of cod4

    ive done my research so booyah!

  • why is everyone comparing COD 4 and halo 3 THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAMES! THE ONLY THING THAT IS SIMILAR IS THE GENRE!

  • I agree, I love both games on both consoles! They have very different styles, graphics, and story telling. Love using a sticky grenade to piss someone off and Martydom does the same. Both are good in my opinion and I enjoy playing them both.

    But damn Halo is going to make a much better movie than say CoD would. Go Peter Jackson! Wooot!

  • amen brotha!

  • Yea! Thats right, but the movies comin out in 2009... unfortunately...

  • There is no movie anymore.

  • Chief could so kill the war chieftain brute and the humans were out numbering covenant they would have slaughtered em

  • Wow they done so much work just to promote halo 3

  • It's not only for the game, but for the upcoming movie too. if it hasn't been cancelled, well i don't know :)

  • its rain drops (epilude op 28)by frdrick chopin hes one of my favorites.

  • whats the name of the song ??

  • idk, its probly something by Martin O'Donnell

  • wrong

  • it's called raindrops by chopin. chopin never really called it that, but that's what we call it now

  • almost got it but close enoygh

  • its called prelude #15 by chopin (hes some old piano player)

  • The pianist is Maurizio Pollini he's not an old piano player, I'm italian and just want to point that!

    If you move to classic music you can find out a little jem like this every day!

    The spot in fantastic!

  • no its not but still close

  • On artistic merit alone this ad is a freaking master piece. The music and images are oh so perfect. If they gave out Oscars for commercials this would win it hands down.

    There needs to be more ads like this. No flashing split second clips and blaring rock or techno. Just a simple piano theme like this.

  • what halopedia

  • And at 1:27 he says

    hello i am master cheif

    lollollollololllollollo

    hhahahahhahahaha

  • if i had all those action figures.. id become a kid again ROLF

  • GOW and Halo 3 are quite similar but Halo still kicks ass :D

  • I saw that too. Bungie took alot of things from GOW this time around. Maybe not took but "recreated."

  • I BELIEVE, I SEEN THE LIGHT, AAAAAMEN!

  • halo 3 is badass

  • yeah, I saw the making of it just now XD

  • such a cool comercial, I didn't know it was a halo 3 comercial till I saw masterchief at the end. BTW, is it true that this was actually a school project that some kid made?

  • Lol this was made by professional artist not some kid.... This is really a stunning model.

  • everybody just needs to stop hating on each other because it's just a game and all the h3 commercials are just trying to sell games...end o story

  • wow just makes you think that all the WW1 and WW2 victims i mean they gave their life for no silly reason halo just reminds me of that

  • Retard, WW2 was not a 'silly reason'. The Iraq War is a 'silly reason' to die. What do they teach you in those fucking American schools?

  • halo fans

    last few days on ebay!!!!! UK

    lifesize master chief

  • lol...pendejo....shut the fuck up.

    jaja...pendejo....cierra el puto pico.

  • pinche mamón chinga tu madre

  • Somebody, PLEASE make a tutorial of this song cuz i really want to know how to play it!!!!!

  • Nah just search Raindrops Prelude of Chopin and youre done =)

  • I searched for it and no one played where you could both hands really good.

  • Note, it is written in Des-Dur, so you have to practice a lot if you arent a good player :P

  • I mean Des major -

  • Sucks that this never happens in halo 3. i was so excited butit never happend:-( CHEIF DOESNT DIE HE GOES IN A CRYO CHAMBER

  • why would the army do a commercial whit monsters and weapons that dont even exist dickhead

  • youre a really big dumb ass! seek help

  • what battle is this

  • Pretty cool ad.. At first I thought about warhammer when I saw this.

  • at first i tought that they made halo into warhammer that would be so kool

  • i love the piano.

  • o yeah i forgat to ask if a halo movie will be released.

    will the halo movie come???

    it would be coul if a halo movie was released

  • It probably will be released, but I don't think you're old enough to watch it.

  • is this battle in the halo book or in the game???

  • This is bascily the most important and biggest battle in all of halo from the book to the game!

  • Amazing piece of advertisement history!

  • lol

  • is this big battle in the game???

    or is it any other big battle in this game??

  • lol

  • bungie doesnt need you to buy halo 3 youre not important

  • well thanks very much for spoiling the game for me...

    YOU FUCKING WHORE

  • you a nub and a dumb ass

  • its spelt n00b, and also, if hes such a dumbass explain why they advertised this big battle and then gave no mention of it in the game, because personally, im quite dispointed in the ending of the game aswell

  • no its NUB!noob and nub are 2 diffrent things you nub!and if you dont think that was a big battle youre a retard

  • headcase117 you are a compleat dick head there is no such thing as a nub that is a dumb ass american word that some weirdo made up it is Noob, just like you!

  • amazing its looks verry good

  • This trailer was amazing. I really like the ambiance of the miniatures. It almost turns it into a story more than actually playing. Arouses a lot of anxiety and excitement around the release. Excellent work.

  • Really nice commercial, one of the best ones for any video game, right next to Smash Bros 64.

  • All this mythos around Master Chief though... an uncharismatic and pretty much bland character?

  • like gordon freeman yet hes a gaming legend...

    anywho not a fan of halo but love the diorama a masterpiece it is

  • Yes but Gordon Freeman is pretty much a negative space left to your imagination. And Valve never tried to arouse emotion around him.

    Master Chief has dialogue and it is pretty unremarkable as far as I'm concerned. The Halo experience is great and fun, but I can't feel the emotion around the character that they want me to feel ( the veteran commercial in particular ). That diorama though is a great, great piece of advertising, but I doubt the game even reaches such genuine dramatic intensity.

  • It is not the character that is nessesarily important sometimes, but the effect they have on other people. The emotional espect of the Cheif is the whole "lone wolf" thing and the way he inspires the average man to greater things.

    Then again you can say getting worked up by a computer game is "sad lol". But to be honest video games are fast becoming an accepted form of visual storytelling media, so feeling sentimental about a character in a good game is the norm now.

  • If you ever read the Halo books then you wouldn't say that, but then again I doubt most the people who play the game have even read them, I personally only read the first one. Anyways thats why there is so much to Master Chief, I havent played through halo 1 or 2 so I argue with you from the games perspective, Im more of a Gears fan myself, but I do have to give credit that Halo 3 is a very fun game, much much better then 1 or 2. but still I perfer the gear gameplay.

  • For anyone who really likes that song, it's called Prelude #15 in D flat minor, op. 28 (better known as The Raindrops) By Polish Pianist Frederic Chopin.

  • yeah the first time i saw this trailer on my tv i almost cryed and i dont even play halo... now i want to buy the game becouse of this trailer

  • where the hell can i download this!?

  • Real figures, hand crafted by Weta Workshop, the guys who did the costumes and and equipment for all three Lord of the Rings movies.

  • first it was the gears of war lonely faces ad and now this. DAMN!

  • damn that sucks. Im gonna play halo3 today because in finland it comes today. have to say r.i.p MC..

  • wonder how long it too them to do this since it dosnt look computer generated

  • Gotta hand it to Microsoft, they know how to make an ad.... damn good.

  • I Believe

  • master piece!!! Best ad ever in the history!!!

  • the song is Raindrops prelude- chopin

  • And those are what? models? eh...i dont care, i dont like Halo, cool commercial though.

  • what song is this?

  • i believe...

  • that is one of the best ads i've ever seen. period.

  • What the hell are you talking about? It has TONS of actions, it's all just frozen in time.

    Great add.

  • i love halo

  • i love this movie dude lol

  • did you know that everything there was made by hand (everything)

  • by the masters of the weta workshop

  • 12 hours people

  • i love the arbiter he has such religious zeal

  • ...Master Chief Green Baker Reporting Already on it in South Pasadens CA Thank you EARLY GENIE ~StX1138 on My Space

  • What is this piano song or whatever it is called named? I liek it a lot.

  • same if you find out please tell us notation :)

  • It's Chopin. The Raindrop Prelude.

  • yeah this does make me wanna cry, you think he will do a sacrifice? fuck, if he does i hope he kills everymother fucker there and gets the marines out of their misserey.

  • Why arent they letting any commercials with the arbiter out....

  • sorry i agree haha i really dont like the arbiter and his missions

  • watch the making of the battle sceen.

  • wow this video makes me wanna cry awesome

  • wow....

  • could any1 tell me the notation of this song so i could learn to play it

  • fag

  • I only wish my friend with the 360 wasn't at collage. :( what is the song?

  • i got it i think "Raindrop i saw Chopin but i didnt know the title. correct me if im wrong i just looked later in the posts.

  • this is the fifth time i watched this and i got goosebumps every time!!!

  • Sweet, Chopin and Halo 3. What an awesome combination. I guess they got lazy on making their own music but who cares. Chopin is a g0d.

  • ITS BEAUTIFUL (tear slids down eye)

  • WHAT THE HELL!!! MC CAN NOT DIE! THAT WOULD SUCK!! IT BE A WASTE OF ALMOST 3 YEARS OF MY LIFE WAITING!! (also 60 bucks...but thats not as important.)

  • sorry 2 burst ur bubble...but it has 2 happen..

  • This isn't fair. I want Halo Miniatures.

  • omfg i want this game in my hands right now

    "hail halo 3'

  • i hope he doesnt die but they say this is the last halo game to be made, so they probably will give him a heroic death, and for showing his face i hope they dont. its better to leave it to the imagination, look at super metroid, totaly ruined the game in my opinion.

  • Ruined Super Metroid? You're a fucking idiot.
