and you have to run 'round at super SPARTAN speed until the earth, and time (of course) start going backwards?

yes! and then, after an elite sees you without your helmet on, you have to kiss him to make him forget your secret identity

Ok, nit-picky folks.
I consider my mother my friend, I don't know about you....
I was just trying to leave a little bit of suspense up in the air! But sheesh, get all particular about it.
But thank you for the astute corrections.

It's Doctor Halsey at the start and end. Trust me.
Not sure about that being an elite- no mandibular growths, y'see. I originally thought it, but it's missing the quad mandibles. Zoom in- it's just got an upper and lower jaw.
It all looks likes a Fell Beast...

Yeah, it definitely doesn't look like an Elite...turn your brightness and gamma settings up. You can see that whatever it is, it has an extremely long neck, and the face is all wrong for an elite.

*coughnewspeciescough*
You can see them flitting across a wall in a few frames around second 24. I'll bet that's what the brute is *ahem*..."pwning."
It's the mystery action figure that can't be revealed and the "other surprises" that are mentioned whenever someone asks about new species, besides the brutes and prophets.
edit: spelling

Those are called

Drones. I believe.
They're much more like insects.
That thing the Brute is smacking looks vaguely reptillian, or somewhat mammallian. Tough to say from the brief period of time it's ont eh screen, but probably not ae...

And it explains why you can have in multiplayer deathmatch Elites & SPARTAN's fighting side-by-side. Good SPEC IMHO.

Spoiler for those who haven't read the books:

The Covie's bypassed the remaining inner human colonies to strike at Earth after successfully defeating Reach. Earth can fall and as long as the war ends, Humanity can survive.

multiplayer characters don't need explanation! heck, in Jedi Knight II you could be Lando having a lightsabre duel with Greedo!

You can briefly see the drones in the clip, when the MC is holding the double needlers.
You can also see 2 prophets... they are side by side but then the scene pans left and you see the one prophet saying something like "no enemy has ever withstood our might"

Could it be a Prophet without the crown? Makes sense that one Prophet conspires against the others and has them executed by the Brute

[SARCASM quality="50%"]I'm hurt and shocked that you would compare a product of the [SUCKS=100%]mind of lucas[/SUCKS] to a product of Bungie.
Just because Lucas, and his syncophants feel no need to justify their story elements to the audience does not mean that Bungie is equally careless.[/SARCASM]
Still, you might be right that multiplayer needs no story justification.
