Yeah I hear you, it's kinda hard just sitting here counting down the days. The commercials just make me want to play it more than I already do, which is quite a lot...

If they were going to just use a random female voice for that, wouldn't it make sense for them to use Cortana?

In the 60 second version, there's what looks like a

pyramid
at about 15 seconds in.

jen taylor is a FANTASTIC voice actress. . .for crying out loud she's kate archer in the NOLF series so she could easily be Durga/cortana/ AND Dr. Hallsey in H2.
cool link to the commercial, thanks!

Here is the link to the 60 second Commerical. It's not as large as the 30 second version (both file size and screen size).
Enjoy

60 second commercial - 34 seconds in.
Is that what I think it is?
Also, yeah, the voice actresse(s) sound a bit different in this one. With the Cortana clip in there... I'm starting to question if it ever was Durga.
EDIT: Watch the german one. There's a better shot of the artifact that MC rides out of the hangar on (it appears that the artifact was left out of the E3 version of the clip, because it seems to be the same hangar). I'll see if I can get a screen shot here...

are you referring to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The large halo? and the explosion happening on the far side of it?
I just saw it last night at my theater... I was in the projection booth and luckily I looked out the window during the preshow... and there it was...

Yes, yes I was. So happy that I'm not imagining things.

From my brother who has played H2's leaked french version -
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There's another Halo, but the scene in the trailer with the ruined Halo on the right takes place during the first Covenant mission - 'you park at the Halo ruins' is what he told me.
Oh, and the "I will continue my campaign" guy or whatever is prolly the Elite you play as when you play as the Covs.
I really should tell my brother to take notes about what he learns about Halo 2. Or make him learn French.

Allright, nobody read that spoiler. I was dumb enough to and now I might as well not even play the damn game.

I'm all for avoiding spoilers, but you're really overreacting.
There was not a game-ruining spoiler in what I said. Who says the "I will continue my..." has been known for a while. Pointing out what a scene shows isn't spoiling, its in the trailer. If you didnt notice it, thats not my fault.
Oh, and another spoiler - in Episode 3, Anakin and Obiwan talk to each other. I ruined that movie too for ya, I guess.
Now, this is actually a more direct spoiler, if you don't want to look at it, avoid it. .
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Sphere-With-Spikes is a Covenant bomb/mine thing. Its going to hit whatever ship the MC is on, so he says to (Cortana I think) "I'm going to give them their bomb back". Like the earlier trailer, he goes out the airlock, grabs the bomb by a spike, and the gravity well of Earth causes him to fall onto a Covenant ship. The ship 'splodes good, and the explosion causes the MC to land back on the ship.

Me too =*(
I was just scrolling down reading the spoliers about what people saw in the Trailor(seeing as Bungie has stated that there are no "Spoilers" in it)... and Bam!
Me own fault for not reading his Disclaimer about it being from the Pirated Version...
P.S. I loathe anyone who has Pirated Halo2...

I'm guessing that the line at the end of the ad "There are those who said this day...." is supposed to be interpreted as human in origin.
So why do I feel as though it's going to be one of those commercial to movie (game) surprises in that, what you assumed it meant while watching the ad is the exact opposite of it's true significance.
In other words, I bet 2 tabbies and a grey that's a Covie line. I have no reason (that I know of) to believe this, but I just can't shake the feeling. Any thoughts?

Yes, Kali. It's the same voice that is earlier seen saying "No enemy has ever withstood our might."
I think there are heretics within the Covenant that believe that the humans can't be defeated. I think we've been a MUCH greater problem than they ever anticipated.
