Microsoft are reportedly going to be showing a 2 minute video of the first Halo title for the Xbox 360 during its E3 news conference on May 9th.

IGN predict its contents will be "a wild breathtaking battle on Earth"

Knowing Microsoft, the publisher will want to show all real, in-game engine footage to counter Sony’s fantastical CG videos from E3 2005. When Microsoft was contacted, the company issued its standard reply, "We don’t comment on speculation and rumors."

Microsoft Game Studios’ General Manager Shane Kim said to expect "a significant announcement at E3".
