Halo 3 Website
Monday, September 17th, 2007I shall first disclose that this kick ass website was sent to me by my Mr. [Grim Santo]. Halo 3 is on the brink of being released, just a week away and already I’m spotting it all over the place. Some of my flickr buddies are part of the Microsoft team, therefore I’ve been seeing loads of images from Halo 3 release parties and such. Woo hoo! I really want to play, if only I could master the art of dual analog sticks. Damn it, I would be killing like a maniac. Anyway, the Mr. forwarded the following site to me: [Halo3.com/believe]
What is it? Well, I’m hoping you clicked the link and checked it out for yourself; but if you didn’t– the site is basically a model battleground of Halo 3. There is a camera panning through the scenery and you navigate with your arrow keys and have the option of stopping to capture a still shot. You can then save this shot on your desktop and turn it into your new wallpaper. I love it. I took this shot of the infamous Master Chief:

What do I like most about this site? I think its a very smart and simple advertising tactic. I must give loads of KUDOS to Microsoft for this. Though every single shot that is taken has technically been pre-selected already, I know this because when I downloaded the 3-4 shots that I loved they were titled “halo3_diorama_#…”; this is a very good way to make the audience feel as though they are creating something of their own. It’s a very good interactive site. I like it, plus[!] they’ve got some nice piano melody playing in the background. Don’t steal my shot… go the site and pick your own. Enjoy the experience Microsoft/Bungie has worked hard to bring you. Hit the jump for the new Halo 3 video if you haven’t already seen it.
