"Not with a bang but a whimper..."

The announcement nobody saw coming ( :P ) has arrived. Head over to bungie.net for the full scoop on the new Halo 3 trailer.

To transcribe (Cortana's words; I'll leave the view for you to discover yourselves):

"I have defied gods and demons.

I am your shield; I am your sword.

I know you... your past, your future.

This is the way the world ends.
"

The vocal overlay with Gravemind (a joining of minds? of purposes?) is coaxing strange thoughts, odd similarities...

"Beware. The mythical Thoth was concerned with maintaining the balance between creation and destruction, yes and no, light and darkness, not the triumph of one over the other."

The Ark on Earth. The Covenant triumphant. And Cortana sounding more like Durandal (or the the force we knew from The Letters) with every new installment...

"Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends."
