Some of you may have already seen this, but just a heads-up that Bungie will be showing off a CGI trailer for Halo 3 during MNF tomorrow night:

Halo 3 Ad Airs Monday!
Posted by Frankie at 11/30/2006 9:15 AM PST

The image below isn't from Halo 3 gameplay folks, it's from the upcoming TV ad - scheduled to run this Monday, 4th of December, during Monday Night Football on ESPN. The CG was created by Hollywood FX house, Digital Domain, using assets supplied by Bungie. We're very excited about the way they've managed to capture the Chief and other elements and clues from the Halo universe. What are those? You'll have to tune in to find out.

We also made mention of the Halo 3 Beta (coming some time in 2007) and folks panicked when they saw that a press release mentioned only the US. Don't panic. The Halo 3 Beta will be available in the US, Europe and elsewhere in the world. We'll keep you updated on the detailed specifics as they come in.

An HD 720p version will be made available on Xbox Live Marketplace soon after for those folks with no access to cable TV. The music is by Marty O'Donnell and believe us, it's worth checking out. Tune in soon when we'll talk to the fellows at Digital Domain about what it took to put this together.

We also talked a little bit about the TV commercial this week, which is causing quite a stir. Here’s the details, as clear as we can make ‘em.

The commercial is 60 seconds long.
It will air during Monday Night Football on December 4th. Sometime around 6-ish, PST.
That’s the US date. Everyone else will get a chance to see it soon.
An HD version will appear on marketplace fairly soon.
The commercial is a mix of CG and Live Action.
It is not supposed to represent gameplay.
It is supposed to show pure action from the Halo universe. Think of it like the Graphic Novel.
It was made by Hollywood effects house, Digital Domain.
Digital Domain did base its stuff on our in-game 3D models.
It is packed full of clues and stuff.
It is nifty.
We may host it on Bungie.net at some time in the future.

Here is the teaser pic mentioned in the first quote (it is 1920x1080, so I'm just posting a link):

Unfortunately, I think I'll be at a review for an exam at that time, so no Halo 3 trailer for me (at least not at ~8PM or whenever it is shown).
