Halo 3 vid-doc next week?

Looks like we won't have to wait long for more on Halo 3, with our old pal Internet reports bringing us word of a video set to go up on Xbox Live Marketplace next week.

According to somebody who seems to work for Microsoft in Belgium (yes, it's that good), a seven-minute video - perhaps the "VIDOC" mentioned in Bungie's recent "Halo day" update - will be released on 20th December.

Developer Bungie had previously said that its recent TV advert would be followed by a "making of" documentary, offering "some new insights into elements of the campaign", going on to "peel back the curtain on a certain prominent character in Halo 3". Perhaps it's Seedos.

Whether that's next Wednesday though remains to be seen, particularly since the Microsofty heralding the date also says that the video "highlights the emergence of the Brutes as playable characters" - something that Bungie's Frank O'Connor has since denied during a fireside chat with our other old friend, Internet forums.

It's all getting a bit heated. Anyway, you can catch up on all the recent Halo gossip by visiting the gamepage. Or you could just watch a spookily well-done Team America mash-up of the TV advert instead.
