Twelve Days Of Halo Christmas

This, like so many things, is basically HP's fault.


On the Twelfth Day of Halo Christmas, Bungie gave to me:

Twelve Drones a-droning,
Eleven Jackals sniping,
Ten Brutes a-battling,
Nine Helljumpers jumping,
Eight Elites ejecting,
Seven Scorpions shooting,
Six Grunts a-sleeping,
Five sacred rings,
Four Flood combat forms,
Three Prophets,
Two dead Hierarchs
And a personality construct in the Core.

A look at halo 3's CG trailer music and halo 2's main theme

Ok first of all I have recently found out that I will have a lot of free time after all, thus I will still be on this site a lot.

Anyway moving on to the subject. There have been several requests about a transcription for the halo 3 cg trailer's background music. Well I was not able to make it out so clearly but I can tell you that it is only the first part of the halo 1 main theme played a little faster. And that is that.

343 Guilty Spoon

Master Chief, in search of Captain Keyes and his squad, is searching a mysterious installation under a swamp. He has come across a fallen marine and is viewing his camera record.

Mendoza: Why do we have to eat this old stuff, sarge? This cereal tastes like bits of newspaper, and this milk has been sitting on the radiator for about eighty years!

Sarge: Watch your mouth, son. That cereal is your history.

Halos Brand Breakfast Cereal

A discussion about how heavily the Halo franchise was being marketed of course led to a "Halo: The Breakfast Cereal" joke as per a similar mention in the Mel Brooks movie, Spaceballs.

That spurred a few lines of marketing-speak that could be used to promote a Halo cereal. Most of that can be seen here:

Afterwards I thought it might be possible to rewrite every Halo and Halo 2 cutscene as a long serial advertisement for this cereal.

If I Had A Super Cereal... I'd Keep It To Myself

The Chief enters the control room. There is a holographic control panel with several cabinet doors beneath it.

Cortana: That cabinet, try there.

The Master Chief opens a cabinet, places Cortana inside. Munching noises can be heard.

Master Chief: Is the cereal there? Are you all right?

Cortana: Never been better! You can't imagine the wealth of nutrition. So many vitamins, so fast... it's glorious!

Master Chief: So, what kind of cereal is it?

The Cereal Cartographer

The Chief and Cortana are sneaking into an underground structure, accompanied by a group of marines.

Marine Pilot (on radio): Mayday, mayday! Dropship Bravo 22 taking enemy fire! Ground teams, you got two enemy dropships coming in fast!

Marine: Dammit! Okay, people, we got company comin', let's set the table.

Cortana: Marines, hold off the Covenant here while the Chief and I activate the map. There, that holo panel. Press it.

The Master Chief presses the holo panel and a holographic map appears.

Feeding the Belly of the Beast

The Master Chief and a group of marines are deep inside a Covenant cruiser. A door opens, and they enter the cruiser's detention area.

Cortana: This looks like the ship's brig. The cereal signal is strong. And we might find the captain, too.

Marine (in holding cell): Chief! We're starving, let us out, man!

Captain Keyes: (in adjacent holding cell) Stow the bellyaching, soldier. Remember, you're a leatherneck.

Master Chief: So that's what they're made of.
