IGN is reporting that E3 is going to have a two minute Halo 3 video on display, filled with real-time footage, to counterpoint the PS3's all pre-rendered CGI "Emotion Engine" nonsense.

No details on the content except the 120 second duration, but IGN speculates "a wild breathtaking battle on Earth." Also, they think that Master Chief will strip off his armor at the end of the video, revealing himself to be a luscious bikini babe underneath his shimmering, metallic shell.

It's worth noting that Halo 3 isn't a "real" product yet, which sparked this comment from Microsoft Game Studios' General Manager Shane Kim: "You mean the mythical Halo 3? I mean, it's silly to deny its existence when the chairman of MS (Bill Gates) announced it, but I have nothing to announce now, but expect there to be a significant announcement at E3."
