Found some evidence that it may be a prequel: Look at the right corner at 0:18. It says '2552', and Halo 3 is set in 2553. It could be a 'mid-quel' of sorts, actually, since I believe Halo 1 was set sometime in 2552 (though there is only a difference of a few weeks between the three games).

So, it could be something going on at the same time as Halo 1, after it, or earlier in the year.

This is all assuming that the '2552' means anything.

One theory was that it involves the ODST's fight on Earth between Halo 2 and Halo 3.  That might explain the date difference?  I could be wrong because I don't follow Halo canon too closely.

This video basically confirms both of our theories

Joystiq analyzes the trailer and comes up with the following (that we didn't already notice)

-You can see the Prophet of Regret's ship faintly in the background, meaning it's definitely set before the middle portion of Halo 2 (when the Chief killed him).

-The city is definitely New Mombasa, as confirmed by a sign that is briefly visible in one of the shots.

-They are indeed ODST pods (not Covenant like I speculated).  They prove this by comparing them with images from the Bungie.net database.

 

Looks like this will be Bungie's answer to all the people who wanted to experience the Covenant occupation of Earth for themselves!



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I agree, I think anyone thinking this is just a DLC 1 hours worth is crazy. This amount of hype can only mean that it will be a full campaign.

Probably available as both download and DVD...

Halo 3 will sale past 10 million sales easily now.

I'm excited for this.... before xmas i hope. Watch those 360 sales flyyyyy in the states.

 

its dl content for halo 3.

i expect extra story tweeks and a few new missions. mabey new levels.

halo 3 single player was boring, after killing the prophet level where the flud help you, i took it back. so mabey this may bring new life into it, halo is a fan game.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

That analysis was pretty cool eagle. I haven't been around to read any of the speculation since about 10:30 so that's good to see that people figured it out. I would rather something new in the halo universe but whatever. We can't all have what we want.

Why would a new compaign to a game that already exists spur increased sales in the states?

Halo3: The Lost Chapters.

Essentially, everyone new to the console would see a fresh game to purchase with double the campaign (maybe at a reduced price) and everyone already with the game that couldn't download the expansion but wanted it would buy the whole game again.

Then there are people that never quite jumped on the Halo 3 train that may be swayed.

I don't even know what to say to this.  It could be a fun game, there's been zero bashing of other consoles in this thread, and we're actually having a discussion of the game itself.

Shall I pop over to a Resistance thread and say it's just a way for Sony and Insomniac to make money?
