"Leaked" Halo 3: ODST video fake?

Suspect beta footage hits the net
Some not-so-revealing footage of what is supposedly a campaign beta version of Halo 3: ODST has surfaced.

It's not as exciting as we'd have hoped - it simply shows a few boot-up logos and then the title screen with some Halo music in the background. No gameplay or anything.



Of course, our reaction is the same as yours - "OMG teh fakezoRs", or something to that effect. But if it is a fake, it's a very well-done fake we must admit.

But you know you'll watch the video (above) a few dozen times now because you want it so bad, don't you. Yes, you do.

We've left a message with Microsoft about it.

If you're going to risk being lynched by flaming ninjas, at least record some in game footage...

Lame.

I don't think it matters whether it is fake or not. It doesn't give anything away!

Reminded me of Killzone 2 from the title screen. Pity the 360 fans don't like gritty realism. Wink

Lolz, Nazis IN SPACE!

Gritty realism indeed.

Lol, at the 'Message from Bungie' from 0:33. They usally put bit of humor in their messages in their games.

I think this is going to give MW2 a run for it money in the Gaming for Fun category. Really liking the direction they are taking with the expansion and cant wait till E3 to get some 'real gameplay'!

That person really knows how to work those menus. If it is a fake it’s a decent one, especially with the Bungie style prose for the warning before hand. Though that is ultimately pointless, what is a video of a menu going to do?

And Mark, does it not remind you more of the Halo 3 title screen? Because that’s exactly what that is, just with a different background and tarted up a bit.

This is so old.

Course it does. I was just commenting on the darker, more gritty approach. And the lightning reminded me of Killzone 2.

Anyway, like you say, to get excited by a menu is desperate times indeed.

Looks real enough, but ultimately doesn't matter. What does matter is Greg Bear writing the Forerunner trilogy books!

The only person getting excited seems to be you, you can't stop posting about it.

New updated Bungie logo. New music. New background (moving). Yeah I reckon this looks too professional to be fake.

If it IS fake, it makes the person who made it sadder than the people getting excited about it.

Still doesn't mean much, though, as people have said.

OMG!!! That menu looks amazing!!!

I cant wait to move the cursor up and down a bit in full ten-atey pee...its the best menu I've evar seen!
B0MBJ4CK on 7 Apr '09
Seriously do not show this to anyone!
Nomad0404 on 7 Apr '09
Couldn't give a s**t whether this is fake or not, just can't wait for E3 and some true in-game footage of what is going to be one of the most eagerly awaited games of the year.

I'd be surprised if this wasn't fake! It looks professional, but it says multiplayer, custom games, etc... on the menu, n I just can't see them bothering to put them in considering theres no multiplayer!!! *Ditto to Tonyb*

There is multiplayer. It's Halo 3 multiplayer which you will have access to even if you don't have Halo 3.
