I for one was disappointed that I never got to pull a Brute off of a ghost (on Earth that is), or never had one jump on my warthog and beat on me(at least not that I remember).

Well, does it really matter where you board the Brute's Ghost?

About the Warthog boarding... that I can see, because I don't think that ever happens. There aren't Brutes and Warthogs together on any level in Halo 2, I don't think. However, there's a long history of Bungie changing unit placements from early revisions to released games; there are screenshots of Marathon monsters that either never made it into the game, or don't appear in the levels pictured. It's to be expected, to some degree.

The trailers (for H3) they have shown (as you mentioned) were exactly what I wanted to see at the time they were released. IOW, it didn't set up expectations that could not, or would not be met by the final game. While I did expect to play that level from the Halo 2 trailer (from the E3 2003 Demo), I don't expect to ever see that exact footage that they showed in the first Halo 3 trailer (i.e. there's no gameplay to look forward to, only generic story). Which I think is how you described it.
There is also the additional information for Halo 3 that Halo 2 didn't have: The Multiplayer Beta. This served as an ultimate trailer for me to actually get me excited about Halo 3. Before that, I was completely happy just playing some H2 online. Now, not so much. I'm ready (and eager) for Halo 3.

Same here. I haven't played much H2 at all since the H3 beta. At least now I have Marathon to tide me over Smiling

PS-Under "We're Going In", I think you mean 'Halo 2 Demo' instead of 'Halo 3 Demo'

You're right. Fixed.
