Bungie will give its fans a taste of what they can expect in Halo 3 today, with roughly 7 minutes of exclusive footage from the game, that will air on the Xbox Live network worldwide. This "ViDoc" (Video documentary) will focus mainly on the single-player campaign, and stuff about the 'Brutes', who are the bad guys and are rumored to be a playable race in the game.
Here's the announcement from Bungie's website:
"Something’s going to happen. Something wonderful.
Tomorrow morning, on December 20th at 2am PST (Pacific Standard Time) the US English version of our next "ViDoc" will go live. What’s a Vidoc, you ask? A Video-Documentary. What’s it about, you ask? It’s about Brutes in Halo 3, but before we say more, read the following caveats just so there’s no confusion:
· There are no finished graphics in the documentary, and everything you see is a work in progress.
· This will be available initially only on Xbox Live Marketplace.
· The first version of the Vidoc, US English, will be live at 2am, PST.
· The rest of the localized language versions will be parceled out afterwards, hopefully within 24 hours. Please be patient.
· We will make another, non-marketplace version available relatively soon.
· It runs for seven minutes.
· Standard definition and high definition variants will be available."
