IGN Claims Halo 3 At E3

IGN says that 'sources' have confirmed Halo 3 will be part of Microsoft's E3 Event. From the article: "The video is allegedly two minutes long, although its contents weren't divulged. We're guessing a wild breathtaking battle on Earth. Knowing Microsoft, the publisher will want to show all real, in-game engine footage to counter Sony's fantastical CG videos from E3 2005. When Microsoft was contacted, the company issued its standard reply, 'We don't comment on speculation and rumors.'"

No Choice

If MS doesn't want to be COMPLETELY buried this E3 (at least in terms of press coverage), they don't have a choice BUT to show SOMETHING on Halo 3. I mean, it's their biggest franchise and they're competing with launch data about the PS3 and Wii. Not to mention competing with Nintendo's launch lineup--which will contain at least 5 (if not 7 or more) of the most talked about games of the show (Zelda, Mario, new IP, Metroid, DS Zelda--although to a lesser extent, Super Smash, etc.) To not show SOMETHING from Halo 3 would mean to not get much, if any, press coverage. Sony's news will be HUGE (expect a lower than anticipated price to make it look like a bargain--I'd say $400 or less). Nintendo's news will be HUGE. Microsoft, without Halo 3 has little to show...
