Halo 3 arriving tuesday at midnight!!

I'm so excited about this game I find it hard to think about anything else, sure the second one was a sore dissapointment, sure the end was so horrible im sure 90% of you threw your controllers at the screen in anger and frustrations at the anticlimacticism (pretty sure thats not actually a word but whatever), but I, nonetheless am excited. Not only am I excited about the single player campeign and the rumors that a spoiler for the end can be found in the "Believe" trailer, shown below, (or on youtube, but of course, I, being a true fan, would never go in search of something such as that). The afforementioned trailer is basically beutifully panned shots of a scale model of a battle probably found in the game, the shots display great emotion even in such a short trailer (runs roughly a minute and a half) and through this emotion we can see the brutality of the battle, in the final shot, however it shows the Master-Chief holding something that looks like a grenade, or at least thats what the common consensus is, but fret not, I have reason to believe that Master-Chief may not die and that the orb object in his hand is not, in fact a plasma grenade as is suspected, but is a shield grenade, shown in the first Halo 3 Tv Spot. My Guess that they will not kill off the chief stems from the theory that he and the main character from Bungie's other title, Marathon (an older one that shares quite a few significant qualities with halo) which takes place a couple hundred years after the Halo trilogy ends. All that, plus I have heard word among many of my contacts that the chief's story is not over, that in fact the Halo movie being directed by Peter Jackson, the guy who did the LOTR trilogy will also be making a game to go with it, though whether it will go the way of all other movie to video game ports, or visa versa (ala the Resident Evil movies, which while moderately successful were pretty much just an hour and half's worth of shit, sometimes longer) or if it will be a genuinely good game dispite the bad history that all the other game-movie-game ports have brought with them, is yet to be seen, but as always I'm keeping my hopes high until someone smashes them down.
