The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Halo 3 Box Art
The image that will change the world and all worlds beyond.
by Nix

June 8, 2007 - Mankind is not a patient species. We are ravenous with desire and hunger, but unlike the world's other great predators (who must stalk and outwit its prey), our omnivorous genetic design allows us instant access to gratification with just the stretching of our muscular limbs and a grasping of our opposable thumbs to take that which the world proffers. Unless the universe one day proves otherwise, we are what this planet was created for, and we are by creation designed to take, to have, to not be denied all that we covet.

It is without the need to be said, then, that the agonizing wait for the release of the official box art for Halo 3 has been a trial of endurance set against our kind. To not be given the opportunity to have this box art upon the very moment the idea of craving official box art was first imprinted in our brains -- the exact date being the 16th of May in the year Two Thousand and Five -- is to deny us all that it is to be a human being. Are we not Man? Is Man not created to be able? What is life if Man is no longer what Man was made to be?

And then, the world was set right again. And then, Microsoft did raze this gauntlet challenging our fortitude. And then, it alighted upon us, the Box Art of the Halo 3. And thus was the world once again free to turn in a universe of planets and stars and righteousness.

Behold!

I knew that image was too

I knew that image was too purty for anything else.

Disappointing, to say the least.

I've seen better box-art made by fans over the Internet.

Like this one.

I don't get it

I don't understand why the second picture is inherently better than the first. Is it the reflection in the visor that put it over the top for you?

Actually, the more I analyze the two images the more I think the first is better. It shows master chief above something huge, immense. It conveys an alert, in control master chief moving on from something epic. The scene in you post shows a master chief who looks startled running around in the dirt.

The second images makes me wonder. Do we know that other spartans will be featured in Halo3? I haven't followed the news. There is clearly another helmet reflected in his helmet in the picture you posted.

>_>

Please tell me you read the books. At the end of Ghosts of Onyx the remaining Spartans are either dead or inside of the Shield World. Kurt was killed, Will was killed, Kelly, Fred, Linda and John are the last remaining Spartans from the Spartan 2 program. Kelly Fred and Linda are currently unable to reach Earth as they are basically trapped in Onyx. That reflection you see? Yeah thats a forerunner structure that the Covies dug up.

Not entirely. If you type "whose a dickhead" into google, this thread is the top result. It works without the quotes too.

Your pretty l33t (sorry, the symetry was irresistable)

Incorrect.

Midnight is right. It was wasted.

I never did say this, but I laugh out loud every time if think of your "startled running around in the dirt" line.
