ViDoc: Is Quisnam Protero Damno is a behind the scenes look at Halo 3, specifically the multiplayer aspects in Halo 3. This movie is 7:12 minutes long, and contains a mix of Halo 3 multiplayer videos, interviews with Bungie designers and some extra clips of development designs and Halo 2.
Details
This is the first video of mostly complete multiplayer gameplay, even though its been stated by Bungie that it is all alpha. The video starts with a small intro into the developer's visions of multiplayer, then moving on to the development of High Ground. Most of the video then rotates through the newer aspects of Halo 3, including the Man Cannons, Video Replay and Equipment.
