Halo 2 trailer available (2 minutes 25 seconds of ingame footage)
http://www.xbox.com/halo2/halo2-trailer.htm
You'll need Windows Media Player 9 Beta to watch it, which is linked to on that site as well. The reason for requiring WMP9 is because the trailer supports Dolby Digital 5.1 and a new video compression engine as well that won't run on WMP8 or below.
But this trailer is nothing short of amazing. The lighting effects -- they're all very real. The character casts shadows on himself, stuff reflects how you'd expect it too, and aliasing is not a problem.
Too bad this game is over a year away.

Well, if eveything is on fire, I'd be going 130 mph too!
But, this is a lot of time to see a game movie that is over a year away.

Is that supposed to be a possitive description? I can tell that I'm going to be even less interested in this one then I was with the first.

Sucks to be you, then.
You've always had a brattish attitude towards games.

The trailer has been converted to quicktime... 
I saw it and I must agree, it looks fantastic.
If you played marathon though, you'd see that Bungies graphical evolution has been one steady build up from Pathways of Darkness to Halo 2 (although admittedly that pace is quickening!).

I downloaded the file, and the Media Player couldn't find it. guess I'll have to try again.
