As if these last 15 days weren't hard enough already. So hype

 

[RoKKeR]

Trailer was all over the map but I don't care, it got my appropriately hyped. All of the marketing about the whole Chief going rogue thing has been a bit on the nose, but I'm interested to see where they take the story in the full game.

2 weeks to go!

 

[JackHerer]

I liked the story bits and theme they were going for but it was impossible for me to see what was going on in a lot of the shots or get any reference point.

 

[Trup1aya]

Man, there was way too little blue team for my blood...


If I played with Osiris members other than Buck, seeing them in perilous situations might interest me... But right now I'm like "so what"

Anyway, I'm still hyped for the game, and Chiefs lines were great, but the trailer wasn't impressive...

 

[boltz]

I was actually shocked at how bad that trailer was...especially considering how nicely directed the Locke cgi intro is.

This just felt like the editor didn't care at all. "THE KIDS WONT NOTICE THIS. THEY JUST WANT TO SEE EXPLOSIONS!"

Something tells me they saw the Black Ops 3 trailer and tried to emulate the frenetic cuts they do, and tried the same with Halo 5.

Just didn't splice as well.

Yup, it's what the cool kids are doing. Though I guess we can't claim now that they aren't trying to bring in new fans to the series.

Despise that, game is looking to be in good shape.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

It's gotta be really hard for them to show us much new story bits without spoiling anything. I'm happy with that!

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Stop making me want things I really can't afford >.<

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Damn didnt know this game was releasing so soon already.

Thats most likely intended. This is a typical "get hype" trailer and it seems to work. Not that it is negative, but most of launch trailers work like that.

 

[m23]

Which is using all in-game assets, all the other cutscenes are all in-engine.

I'm pretty sure Frankie confirmed there will be 2 sequences using CGI, similar to what was done with Halo 4. I'm happy as long as cutscenes during the game are all in-game. I don't mind if the intro and outro are CGI.

 

[Neuromancer]

I think we can indirectly blame Activision for this.

 

[FordGTGuy]

The Trailers are usually amazing, but definitely thought that was weak and cheesy. I like the Opera classical music stuff usually associated with Halo. This seems targeted at a younger audience. Very blah.

Watch the latest Sprint episodes, classical opera isn't going anywhere.

CGI scenes use in-game assets, the CGI scene in this trailer is the intro.

 

[Troy]

Great trailer. Muse is a much better choice for a trailer like this than Zeppelin. The presence of Fillion makes me think of Destiny.

 

[blakep267]

Pretty cool trailer. It drives home the core points. Alien stuff is happening and grey iron man is hunting green iron man and awesomeness ensues.

Nathan Fillion is so overrated.

Meet me somewhere

 

[Magwik]

Well my hype is now maximum. Time to do myself something nice and take off the 27th

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

No one's going to take him alive I dont have a problem pulling the trigger #TeamLocke

 

[digitalrelic]

Everyone complaining about CGI and not realizing that all cutscenes are in-engine, also glad to see if only took two pages to get to a "this looks like a X360 game" comment.

Wow, if they're in-engine, then that's impressive. But it makes the cut to actual gameplay even more jarring. Gameplay looks nothing like the cutscenes.

 

[TheOddOne]

Neat.

 

[Omnistalgic]

ahhhh, now that's the epic scores that Halo is known for!

 

[ironcreed]

Man, the campaign looks stellar.

Thanks for this, looking forward to seeing it in top quality.

Note how Halsey uses her left hand on the touch part right at the start - the arm she lost in Spartan Ops. Part of the pre-game cinematic taking place before the events of 5?

 

[blakep267]

The first Osiris team cutscene I don't think is in engine but the rest are

Yes it does!

 

[FordGTGuy]

Wow, if they're in-engine, then that's impressive. But it makes the cut to actual gameplay even more jarring. Gameplay looks nothing like the cutscenes.

The one where they are jumping around is CGI with assets, the other scenes are in-engine and look closer to the actual gameplay.

Of course there is a perspective difference and watching from the third person is going to look different then jumping into a first person view.

 

[Troy]

I'm watching on a small laptop so maybe that's why it felt OK..

I'm watching on a 50 inch TV. Not jarring at all.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

I think we can indirectly blame Activision for this.

For releasing kick ass trailers?

Thanks, Activision?

 

[IronicSonic]

"gameplay"

 

[Leyasu]

Fuck yeah! That bit where the planet starts going dark. Cant wait to play this game.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

"Jarring" is such an over used word, you're watching a trailer that jumps between different scenes without transitions... of course it is jarring. Hell jumping between gameplay to gameplay is jarring without transitions.

Huh? Umm no its not bro. It's Jarring going from the cutscenes to the gameplay because there is a large gulf between the visuals. That doesn't make sense to you?

 

[EchoChamber]

I didn't expect muse and halo together.

 

[Trup1aya]

At 1:54 a Jackal tackles an elite... I'm assuming the Jackal is Covey and he's tackling one of Arby's guys....

I wonder if it's just a scripted event or a part of The Jackal repertoire

I'm hoping the Jackal Tackle is a new battle tactic to contend with... If for no other reason because Jackle Tackle is fun to say out loud.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Thanks for the Gifs TheOddOne and the Raw file orichalcos

added to OP

 

[Kaydan]

OK 343 OK you got me! I will spend 80$ on your god damned game.

 

[ODDI]

Trailer looks good! But too bad I don't have a Xbox One, oh well.

Maybe you should buy one!

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Neat.

YO! I've never seen a Promethean soldier take cover like that O_O

 

[wesleyshark]

MUSE! What a great pick.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Neat.

I really really really like this shot for some reason, I cant wake for Chief to kick everyone's ass!

 

[SteveO409]

Props for using gameplay footage for a launch trailer. Hype!

 

[FordGTGuy]

Huh? Umm no its not bro. It's Jarring going from the cutscenes to the gameplay because there is a large gulf between the visuals. That doesn't make sense to you?

You're talking about how it's jumping straight from pretty much the only CGI cutscene in the game to gameplay instantly......... of course that is jarring.

It also isn't representative of what it will be like in the game either. Every other cutscene is in-engine and the difference between the cutscenes and gameplay won't be nearly as large as the intro.

 

[solis74]

Fracking Brilliant Trailer!!

only 2 CGI trailers in the whole game, bit like Halo4, the intro to this trailer with Halsey is one and the other is the Locke team intro as confirmed by Frankie, all others are in-game

 

[Duxxy3]

Much much better trailer.

 

[[Call-Me-G]]

I don't understand why people here have so much concern about a CGI-gameplay jump.

Halsey sounded great and I'm glad she's playing a big role in this one.

I'm not seeing what your upset about? I'm not making a comment on the gameplay only saying that the CG to Gameplay is a jarring cut which I think we both agree on right? Thats all. If I was 343 I probably wouldn't have done a cut like that.

People here have much concern about a CGI-gameplay jump than Ebola...

What?

Is everyone frozen in this shot but the spartan?

 

[viHuGi]

it looks absolutely beautiful, Xbox owners are in for a hell of an holiday season with this Blops and SW on the shooter space damn

 

[ElRenoRaven]

This is all.

 

[Sunset Samurai]

Did I see

Spoiler

a Brute

in there?! Hype.

Believe that was the arbiter. Due to the armor spikes on his back
