Teamxbox was at the Santa Monica High School where Microsoft was hosting its E3 07 Media Briefing. They were anticipating a demo of Halo 3, probably from the single player campaign, as well as further information regarding online co-op.
Here is what went on at Microsoft's E3 Press Briefing:

08:33 p.m. Halo 3 stuff. A band is playing the Halo theme. On the screen, they are playing screenshots from the multiplayer beta. They are mixing violin with heavy guitars.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
wat do you think you guys. Did halo 3 look way better than it did in the beta. maybe because i didnt see it in high def but looked pretty much the same to me.
Yea i thought e3 was pretty lame too probably because they refused to let us in
I guess it looked a little better. Difficult to judge though since it wasn't actually in my console and on a TV like the Beta was.
I thought they did a good job.
The Assassin's Creed demo was the best part of the briefing in my opinion.
Halo looked good but the rest of the show was lame..personally thats the worst showing e3 could have ...No fanboy involved..i see you mentioned COD4 and AC but there both on ps3 and will have basically the same gameplay didnt set them apart for 08...but mass effect was good news..also 4 skus it is getting ridiculous..too many skus..
maybe Halo 3 will redeem itself from the beta after all.
... Microsoft really did not talk much at this conference. Nothing about the huge warranty plan. No portable device. No price cut. No Bioshock. No Too Human. No Alan Wake. No Peter Jackson.
They just showed us the games we knew about.
Oh well, we'd just have to wait for Microsoft's own X06 event -- which is coming up in about a month.
