You people need to stop sitting in your dark corners and praising the older halos because they were the ones you grew up with and were what you liked. I personally only want to play this because it's a new Halo, but also because this looks awesome and new.
+UberTuber It looks cool, I just wish the gameplay was more like 2 and 3 (Rendered film =/= gameplay). We'll see, though, the game will probably still be good.
+slicer940 Not even a minuet. The shear badass-ness of blue team would've killed all those covies in seconds. The moment blue team steps on the field they release waves of badasssosterone making those squid faces drop like flies.
+Solid Brix Studios thats so what i was trying to say. That was so fucking stupid. the background action and ships crashing is normal but them spartans flipping around jumping of very high cliffs with no pause when they landed. throwing around aliens like there rag dolls. Running through rocks and the running looked all wrong. there moving way to fast for the foot steps there taking.. WHY would they do this now!
+Sev 117 You have to realize those steps they take are perfectly possible. They are decending from a mountain range. Ever heard of gravity bro? Its the force which pulls things down
Pretty cool. One gripe though. What exactly is the tactical purpose of bright pink armor? I miss back when SPARTANS were elite armored super soldiers. Not power rangers
+collin ohlinger I think the question was "what exactly is the tactical purpose of bright pink armor" not "why is this person wearing bright pink armor?"
+SpectreGray its to be easily identifiable in a fast moving video game. Not everything needs to be 100% full tactical military bullshit. Seriously, whats the tactical advantage of having a double barrelled rocket launcher?? We have launchers in todays world that can fire more than rocket with a single barrel. Some shit is just there to be cool
Watching this trailer, you'd assume it means 4-player local co-op like the old days. But nope, everybody has to play with their own console. In fact, split screen has been removed completely in Halo 5. One of the main reasons why I've been able to continue playing Halo for all of these years was the split-screen multiplayer-- to be able to bring a few friends over and have some fun in one place, whether against each other or online. Halo 5 is putting an end to that tradition that tens of millions love to do. Over a year ago, I put my money towards PS4 with much regret that I won't be able to play Halo. Now I don't feel that regret very much anymore. It's still going to be an amazing game, but it will never be the same without split-screen.
+NJPwN only 6,000 signed a petition which went viral to get SS back, no one cares about it , its OUTDATED! Halo5 is the 2nd most pre orderd game right now and its an exclusive! No one will miss you for making the wrong choice of a console while we pla maybe the greatest halo in HISTORY.
+MYTHICALTWINKIE Did you just say nobody cares about splitscreen? What made Goldeneye so iconic? What made the Burnout series' success fall short after the release of Paradise? What is the key importance of Mario Kart? I don't see how anybody could think there's little value in local multiplayer. The only reason today's console games are lacking splitscreen is due to the graphical processing demand, forcing them to either reduce the quality, or the framerate. And they see it as damaging the gameplay experience. I think it's very clear that most people would want local multiplayer if it was an available option. Especially for a game like Halo. If you honestly think splitscreen for Halo is an obsolete feature, then I don't think you've played Halo in its glory days (2002-2009)
***** It's not about money, it's about the affordance of local multiplayer that we've had for over a decade with the Halo franchise. Now you need 4 consoles and TVs to play together in the same place. I grew up playing this on a CRT with my cousins on summers back in 2002, to meeting every friday after school with friends to play social slayer for hours in 2007, etc. Those traditions are being thrown away for the first time in 14 years of Halo. So maybe people like you who only play alone or with friends online wouldn't give a shit that splitscreen is going away-- but as antisemitic as want to be about it, there's no denying that it was a great thing for many people for many years.
This is the new generation of Spartans with a new sound. Blue team will have more traditional Halo music when their cutscenes and probably gameplay comes. This helps separate the two groups by sound of their music
Harrison Flesher but there is an intellectual style the old ones were done in. chopin's 28 preludes no. 15 "raindrop" was in the background of the best trailer I have ever seen it was Believe in the halo 3 ad campaign now this is trying to get 10 year olds excited about this T rated game halo CE INTENTIONALLY pushed the game to have an M rating it was for an intellectually mature audience who would come to appreciate the fine details and references to history and real life parallels. It hurts to see that focus gone... I miss that is what I'm trying to say...
+bubbajoe117 1. the movement is actually not realistic because the human body only has a certain number of joints, and the movement here makes a complete mockery of those joints, they move like a '80s imported kung fu movie star. 2. the way they look is a mass departure from previous series, and even the conanical sources(books) the armor would look better on a power ranger, then on a spartan according to the lore. 3.in terms of acting...they are soldiers, and no soldier on the planet acts the way they do,
Randy'sGreatestHits Quit trying to be a nostalgia nut, if you aren't interested in Halo anymore then do everyone a favor including yourself and leave. Honestly don't understand the logic behind actively seeking out things you know you don't like so you can bitch about how much you don't like what you see, it just makes you look desperate for either a argument or attention.
+bubbajoe117 listen here fanboi117... if you have an opinion state it, don't attack others and belittle their opinions. if you don't understand WHY A FAN WOULD DISLIKE CHANGES TO SOMETHING HE REALLY LIKED... you are a fucking idiot. go back to whatever basement you crawled out of.
***** I don't think they even gave them time to respond. They rushed passed them, only killing the ones directly in their path. That's why it was easy. I can run through a field of already-distracted enemies if I needed to.
Minor Elite Yeah, but most of the time graphical fidelity *is* the subject, especially now where everybody's suddenly become graphics whores (no offense to anyone here, just being general).
Okay....why are people making such a federal case out if this trailer? - The Spartans are jumping around and tearing through entire hordes of aliens, you say? Hm....just like they do in the books, the games and the anime shorts? - This is a futuristic Call of Duty you say? Ah yes, because Halo was never entered around a war where you take the lead of groups of expendable NPCs and utilize military weapons and vehicles and-oh wait... - Multiplayer sucks now you say? Um...I don't play multiplayer anyways, so I don't particularly care. - This is not Halo anymore, you say? Well let's see, it's made pretty much by the same people from Bungie who worked on Halo 4 via 343, it takes place in the same timeline, it's about fighting aliens and exploring an ancient threat to the known universe and the main characters are Spartan Super Soldiers with faces and personalities.....oh yeah, it's totally not Halo, note the sarcasm I am using as I type this. It's their game franchise, their universe to build, not yours. - This is a rip off of Avengers Age of Ultron you say? Or it's just a trailer to get people hyped. The gameplay seen is pretty much like previous Halo instalments minus improvements they've made. I'll only believe it's a rip off if I hear anything about 'no strings on me' - This sucks because the Chief isn't the main character you say? Or maybe they want to explore the Haloverse from a new perspective? Maybe have Chief appear later on? So far all of what I hear can be summed up as this: 343 changed things and now people are pissed. But if they left it at Halo 3 we'd have been left with the Chief floating for eternity in a cryotube, and they needed to bring a whole new giant threat out to one up the Flood and the Covenant and I'd say Didact did a good job of that and whatever they have planned for this will do a better job. Now...I shall open the flood gates by saying this: I dare anybody here to provide a real, detailed & thought out reason as to why Halo 5 will be bad.
+D Thorne They don't do that shit in the books, people need to stop saying that shit. Master Chief couldn't out match ONE single Elite in hand to hand combat in First Strike Kodiak couldn't beat N'tho in single combat (When N'tho was holding back) in Hunters in the Dark. Spartans DO NOT do this shit in the books.
+Nahtee Uh yes he does. Chief goes against the absolute very best who are even more dangerous than the Elites that everyone here is crying about. How many Elites did any of you drop in the original Halo?
+D Thorne +1 to everything you said man. And giving single examples of Spartans losing to Elites doesn't change a fucking thing. They are physically inferior to Spartans. Their tactics are inferior to those of Spartans (case in point, using swords as a primary weapon.). The only advantage Sangheilli ever have over Spartans is technological (energy shields and plasma weapons), and even that's tenuous at best.
Buck got saved by Noble 6 and barely got evac from the Glassing of Reach. So yeah, he wasn't that much help in Reach. As for everyone else just like Buck they were still ODST and not Spartans
+Corey Thomas Besides Buck as deckire mentioned, we do know Locke was compiling a report on Thel Vadam just after Reach fell(you see this in one of Halo CE's terminals), Tanaka was trapped on her glassed homeworld for the past 2 years and would remain for one more before the UNSC saved her, and Vale wasn't even 17 when Reach fell
They arent even supposed to exist.. 343 has changed canon by introducing them. Chief was the only spartan left. It says so on the back of the halo 3 disc case.
+Bruno Columbus If I remember correctly, the second mission, first for Blue Team, has a pretty awesome cinematic that might be worthy of release as well. But I really don't want anything else revealed.
+Linda “S-058” Pravdin the shields drain and the armor can be damaged by heavy ballistics. The novels make it clear that Spartan's of any Mark aren't invincible. A fire team of Spartans would be worth a platoon of current US Military, but saying they can take the entire US Military isn't an accurate assessment of their capability or the current military's capabilities.
So apparently Spartan IVs are just as elite as Spartan IIs now? Am I the only one here who thinks that's a horrendous idea? The whole idea of the Spartan IIs was to be that chief and the Spartan IIs were supposed to be genetically unique and naturally superior than the rest of humanity. But now the UNSC can just churn them out like they were regular marines now? Stupid idea. I wouldn't be surprised if they killed chief off in this one btw.
Halo 5 dev team: You know that scene in Michael Bay's ninja turtles where they slide down the mountain in the snow and fight stuff? Let's do that, only with Halo guys! [everyone cheers]
+quigleyfox I often joke about a car that can be 7 stars ANCAP (Australian New Car Assessment Program) in Australia. The most stars a car will ever have is 5 stars. The reason I mentioned this is because I have got a theory for that car that can really save people's lives more than 90%. If that car gets developed then it would be pushing the boundaries. Just like Halo 5. I have had the first Xbox bought from the shops 3 months after it got released new and since then I played halo 1 that I had owned. I finished it and the fact is that no matter what Halo is Halo. I have finished Halo 2 and I have got from the shops a new Xbox 360 with the 60 GB hard since 2009 and I have played Halo 3 that I bought used. So my point is that if anyone tried to change the rules or the gameplay of Halo or any other game it might be for the better because if everybody just kept playing the same game the players will never know if this new stuff is word every penny. Just like the 7 Stars ANCAP safety rating car that can never exist as long as someone pushes the boundaries and decides to go against the flow of what car makers are already doing. So if this quigleyfox is from the developer team from Halo is because he must need some info as to how the game looks and what are people's reactions so that in future Halo Games they will not make the same mistake. I have only played the first 3 Halos so I can't comment on the rest unless I buy them and Play them. The last final thought would be that to leave him alone if you think that he is joking about something that he simply stated that he wants people who are going to play the game to know what it will look from a developers perspective.
+Heimkineast Truthfully, this is the best way Spartans are represented deep within the lore. Combat shouldn't be affected, but the scripted parts will probably not be your favorite in the game.
I'l admit the ground pound is pretty questionable but nobody is at least giving them credit for the most basic of things. Look at the amount of work this took to make compared to a cinematic in Halo 3 or any other Halo game really. These people aren't just waving their dicks around making juvenile decisions. People in their position make decisions for a reason. That's more than a lot of the UA-cam commentors can say.
This is true. However, no one ever complained about Halo 3s cinematics or other Halo games. If they want to exercise their animation skills go work for dreamworks, don't change a great franchise into some ridiculous childish shit.
+Slyrae Durant A beautifully well-crafted cinematic doesn't make for a good game, though.I couldn't care less about the quality of cutscenes when I could have a fitting story and overall content.
***** I wasn't asking for an argument nor will I participate in one. Thank you for writing that wall of text so poorly and aggressively, now I can add you to my blacklist.
these are spartan 4s imagine Spartans 2s. seriously though, they went too crazy this time. lol I guess they've been watching avengers. seems like gravity was set to 50% lol.
+OrchardFilm true. it just looks weird. not used to seeing this kind of movement from a spartan. in the books they are like this. in the past halo games they seemed sluggish as hell.
+Ozone9 to me it just looks like people in super suits: enhanced jumps, speed and power but not invincible; they're still in critical danger the whole time. You're right tho, they are way faster than past Halo games... maybe they've made some improvements to the suits?
Oh godddddd I was really hoping this was a fucking joke but it's not is it? What are they fucking God-like super beings? Does anyone else think they've gone so far past any semblance of credibility that it has just become a joke? OK so basically these "Spartans" which may as well be the avengers, just toss on their helmets like a fucking baseball cap, fall thousands of feet from the sky and just start skipping along the ground doing kung fu on everything in their way? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS
+zedooncadhz Ya, that's kinda what Spartans are, they're super soldiers. That's how they've always been in the books, they just haven't had proper representation in the games until now.
EPiiCx5587 Even if they were super soldiers it doesnt explain how they could fall thousands of feet without needing to break their fall and then stat skipping along at 50mph. There's a line between what is believable and what isn't. You might as well say "ah well they're super soldiers they can do anything" and just have them skipping through space tearing the engines off all the enemy ships they see and single handedly ending the war
zedooncadhz Master Chief fell from orbit and got back up at the start of Halo 3. Plus one of the augments spartan's get are nearly indestructible bones. Plus their reaction time is a lot faster than a regular human. Plus Spartan can run really fast. One of the Spartan's on Master Chief's Blue Team can even run up to 54mph from what I can remember. If you want I can provide a list of some of the augments Spartan 4's specifically get. BTW in Halo The Fall of Reach ( which was the first book made for Halo ) Master Chief himself back-handed a missile while running, and still managed to avoid the explosion.
Spartans are able to run at about 55mph, their enhanced bodies + Spartan IV suit allows them to be extremely strong, agile and resistant Master Chief literally punched a nuke and survived, killed a guy in 2 punches and survived re-entry to a planet Plus, the books have described spartans as almost super heroes, they can pull some serious stunts and maneuvers that seem impossible, Halo 5 is finally portraying them as they are
+zedooncadhz "What are they fucking God-like super beings?" They're super soliders "OK so basically these "Spartans" which may as well be the avengers, just toss on their helmets like a fucking baseball cap" Like Chief did in the start of Halo 2? "fall thousands of feet from the sky" Have you played Halo 3? Only difference here is that Osiris had thrusters to slow their descent
+DeathByCake118 You don't even have to read the books... You just have to play any other Halo made before 343 took it and realize what an actual spartan is. And it's most certainly NOT a spartan IV power ranger.
+DeathByCake118 agreed, SPARTAN IV's aren't meant to be as good as SPARTAN II's. The Spartan 2's were the best of the best, and could genuinely achieve the feats shown in this cinematic. From the age of 6 they were trained to be the best the UNSC could make them. They were SPARTANs. But it's not unlikely that their are other Spartans that could achieve similar feats. SPARTAN B312 was designated Hyper Lethal, on par with John 117. And by the sounds of the game, Fireteam Osiris are going up against Blue Team, THE SPARTANs. If you have read the books then you'll know that this team are the best of the SPARTAN II's. So the UNSC would have to find a team of similar ability to bring the former into line. Also, it's not unreasonable to assume the UNSC has evolved to be efficient in dealing with the Covenent and instilled these idealologies into the SPARTAN 4's.
+Matt Woodley they needed a cheaper more efficient way to get effective troops on the battlefield. i dont necessarily agree with their method but to be fair it would take a while to get someone as skilled as "the private grim reaper" on the field again
+Brad Zeitler That was before Humanity's technology expanded and even incorporated extremely advanced Forerunner technology. Spartan-IV's are quite supported by their tech - more efficiency. PLUS - these Remnant elites are much less organized, perhaps even with less training.
+Minor Elite So spartan-IV's are suddenly all magically as good as our absolute best supersoldier EVER? And the remnants were supposed to be at least as organized (if not more so!) than the regular Covenant. I don't buy it. Maybe if they were brutes, but elites were supposed to be, well, elite. They should have let Master Chief's legend end with 3, and followed someone else for 4. Fresh start. Re-find the majesty, the mystery! Now its nothing but "Quick! shoot these robots, they're the NEW bad guy! OOOH! Spooky evil space robots! Bewaaaare!"
Brad Zeitler Not magically. Spartan-IVs are a result of human technological advancement combined with the reclamation of old Forerunner technologies. They would've been created sooner were it not for the Human-Covenant war completely stopping all technological advancement. They aren't as good as a II, but they certainly can match up against one. IN their armor. Outside, a II obviously would win. As for the Remnant, they're more fanatical. They don't have an entire military powerhouse behind them. If anything, they're nothing more than one of countless anti-human-treaty factions.
Just imagine if Buck mumbled the ODST song (Jodie) as he Jumped off. He just starts mumbling this as he slowly walks towards the edge: : Helljumper Helljumper where you been?: Feet first inta hell and back again!: When I die please bury me deep: Place my MA5 down by my feet: (continued): Don't cry for me, don't shed no tear!: Just pack my box with PT gear!: 'Cuz one early morning 'bout zero-five!: The ground will rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky!: Don't you worry, don't come undone!: It's just my ghost on a PT run Then Buck leans forward and leaps into Hell.
+Richard T that's an ODST running cadence, otherwise known as a jodie, not the ODST anthem. The military uses jodies to keep people on step while they run while also boosting moral.
+Reginald Quaffsworth I think the character name is Buck and he was in ODST. I'm assuming he got promoted to Spartan when they started doing it to "normal" people. Probably because of the events of ODST :P
90% of the comments on this video just prove how much of a fucking cancer the Halo community has become. The game's not bad, but the community sure as hell is.
+XenoAlbedo It's not the Halo community, it's the people who hate the halo community along with nostalgia tards. People are just plain stupid now. "DONT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT HALO EVER! BUT IT NEEDS TO BE NEW AND DIFFERENT OR I'LL GET MAD" It's completely ridiculous. And this attitude is plaguing every sequel being made in the gaming industry and it's just sad when so much work goes into creating these games and stories.
agsozero Where to begin. I'm Japanese and I grew up in Japan, I've graduated from University and I have a degree. That being said your english is garbage and what you said makes zero sense. Also Halo has always been about the universe and the characters as well as the combat. Halo 1 was made before Xbox Live even existed and the story was a massive part of what sold the game. So if you want some dumbed down zero emotion pointless shoot meaningless crap game, it's never been halo and thank god it never will be. You're a mindless idiot and you want mindless crap, and that's perfectly fine but realize you're an idiot and get lost. Also it's 343i not 343j.
agsozero lol, I genuinely don't care about anything you have to say, nor do I care if you believe me. That "you're" I made a mistake on was only because that originally said "you're an idiot" but whatever. Good luck being a racist moron.
So now there are boosts (like CoD Advanced poopfare) power punches (like destiny and advanced poopfare) and now the guns sound weak and low caliber (like advanced poopfare).
The only thing close to thruster packs was jet packs in and after Halo Reach and man and vehicle cannons which lift you into the air. This Halo seems to much more like Destiny and/or Advanced warfare.
+Opie Winston personally, after seeing this, i think it's an even match. but if they take blue team head on, they will lose, but if they strategize and pick them off, osiris stands a chance.
+randomshittutorials It's the 120lb women Spartans. Yackkity yackkity yak. Also, did we need to have Otter-pop flavored armor 343? I guess they're camouflaged if they happen to run into a Kool-Aid factory.
opetke Nah the armor looks just perfect to me.. Just the speed and talking.. it's oke if lock and the spartans from the new but the master chief MUST talk heavier and less.... We know he's not a war machine but it is how he grew up!
futurewriter87 I think it's fine if they talk less, Their silent looks and few words are enough for me to see inside their souls and know what their thinking!
343i at it again continuing to make cannon fodder out of the Covenant and turning Spartans into Marvel superheros with these ridiculous over the top cinematics... *Sigh* R.I.P. Halo [2001-2010]
+xKingGhidorahx They literally killed about 10 Covies. And the rest were distracted by the Prometheans as they ran past them. They literally didn't touch 9% of the army. And Spartans have always been like that. Read the books; they are a team, they are affective, and they are resilient. The Chief ran at 70mph at one point, only ended up tearing his achilles.
+Minor Elite Did we even watch the same video? I ask because I just watched dozens of Covenant along with several vehicles get effortlessly destroyed by four Spartans in a ludicrous fashion (that is no where near representative of gameplay) all within a one minute time span. Spartans never did this kind of superhero nonsense in any of the previous games (including Halo 4) or pre-2011 books. This is just 343i turning Halo into something that appeals to a younger crowd of gamers with no attention spans, plain and simple. This game's online population will plummet within the first few weeks just as Halo 4's did, mark my words.
xKingGhidorahx They ran past 90% of the enemies. The others, we didn't even see them die necessarily. Get shot and flinch, their shields fluctuating? Sure. But we saw _MAYBE_ 5 or 6 actually drop dead. The vehicles being effortlessly destroyed was very reminiscent of the scarabs. Especially the Halo 2 one where you kill everyone inside, then it cuts away with the *impression* that MC just went insane and tore and shot at everything he could find to destroy it. Halo Wars displayed Spartan-I action. It wasn't as insane as this, but at the time it was just regular adults with unadvanced armor. Several game trailers and other things displayed other Spartans like this. The books talked about the Master Chief sprinting at 70mph at one point. He tore his achilles, but sustained no serious injury. This is the intro cutscene. The first one in the game. It's designed to get you pumped. The rest of the game isn't going to be about mindless violence. They even explicitly stated you would want to take things slow because of all the subtle levels of story present in the game. Yes, and so has every other post-2010 multiplayer game. It's not 343, it's the players in general. But either way, as fans, we have no reason to care if the population drops. If no-one else wants to play, that's fine, not my problem. Halo 4's and MCC's online is still functional and has enough people on it to be playable, there is no concern. And frankly? Halo 5's multiplayer is a major step up from 4. And there are still people playing 4 to this day. A small amount, but once again, enough to keep the games full. It will be played. It will be liked. It's won over a dozen people.
+Minor Elite I'm not sure how one could watch this cinematic with a level-head and come to the conclusion that only a handful of enemies were killed, but okay. Lets just for a moment say that you're right, and only a handful of Covenant died. Tossing all the other Covenant they touched around like rag-dolls (except for the few Grunts of course) doesn't make these Covenant look any less incompetent then they would if they had all been killed. My original point still stands. "The vehicles being effortlessly destroyed was very reminiscent of the scarabs." Go try to take a Scarab from Halo 2 or Halo 3 down on Heroic/Legendary, then comeback to me and explain how it was just as effortless as what was shown in this cinematic. As for what the Chief did to that Scarab in Halo 2, it's a hell of a lot more plausible that he destroyed it's core after killing everyone on-board then going crazy and simply shooting everything inside as you describe. Elites getting slaughtered by mindlessly charging at three gun-wielding Spartans with sticks on a narrow bridge in Halo Wars doesn't equate to what we see in this cinematic. There was only one Halo trailer I can recall that was just as ridiculous as this scene. That would be the Gamestop Spartan Locke Armor Set trailer, which also made cannon fodder out of the Covenant and showed off Locke as a Marvel superhero. However, that example really only helps my case. That part from The Fall of Reach with the Master Chief running that fast in a straight line doesn't equate to soaring through the sky like Buzz Lightyear, running through boulders as if they're nothing, f@!%ing ground pounding for crying out load, and all the other nonsensical BS these Spartans did in this cinematic. Halo 5 stepping up from Halo 4 in terms of multiplayer isn't much of an achievement. How it compares to the much stronger Halo multiplayer present in the original trilogy is the real question. We'll just have to see what the silent majority of players think after observing what happens to the online player count a few weeks after release.
+xKingGhidorahx To reiterate what's already been said: the Covenant was engaged with the Prometheans; the Spartans snuck into the middle of the fight and took them by surprise. If all ships were converging on the Spartans they'd be in serious trouble.
I like how they just ran past so many elites/grunts and jackals, Master chief would have taken it nice and slow clearing them out one section at a time, not just running past doing over the top ninja shit, RIP Halo 2001-2010. 343 fucked it up.
+Brian Steele Yeah, because all those Elites, Grunts and Jackals are enemies, right? NO THEY ARE NOT. If you look closely you'll see Covies fighting Covies, Arbiter's troops fighting M'dama's troops. Technically that's the good CANONICAL representation of Spartans. You talk about all mighty Spartans, capable of the best things and then, you cannot dodge A GRANADE? Mate, are you serious? Bungie did a great job, just like what 343 is doing. Don't blame a change of "employees" as the death of a series. 343 isn't ruining Halo. YOU ARE DOING IT.
Him and romeo became spartans, rookie dies, dutch and mickey i get the two mixed up one of them retired after rookie died and the other one joined the rebel forces.
The cinematic looked really good and that fight scene was incredibly exciting but, for the same reasons, it doesn't look like it belongs in a Halo game.
+Thomas Webb People keep saying that but in the book they struggle fightinng elites one on one and the hunters. Here they made it look like there strolling through a park e.g boring.
That's because these are the storm faction who are probably less trained then the arbiters elites. Spartan 4's have much more advanced technology and their augments help fight the elites much easier.
will Speakman Read the Fall of Reach. MC and four of his other spartans take on hundreds of covenant at once. Not only that but the speed at which team Osiris runs at is roughly the exact speed a spartan can run at stated in the book. And the ease at which they kill the covenant in this cinematic and the same ease it takes us on easy or Normal. So no matter which way you look at it everything in this trailer makes sense.
Why exactly is it a bad thing that this is Marvel-like? I'm utterly dumbfounded by the negativity in the comments; I feel like I'm the only one that actually enjoyed watching the Spartans kick ass in beautifully-choreographed style. And no love for mocapped Nathan Fillion? Seriously wtf?
L Faraone I still feel like people are missing the big picture: the Covenant and the Prometheans were busy fighting each other, not the Spartans. The Spartans dropped into the middle of the fight and got the element of surprise. There are plenty of Halo missions where Chief is soloing scores of Covenant by himself; this really isn't that unrealistic.
It's a cool scene it's just not what some fans would call a "Halo" game scene cuz there's no suspense which is kinda what makes halo trailers or scenes unique by that point suspense and endangerment to the main character by an enemy
Most of 343 is confirmed bungie members and bungie gave them the rights master chief is still here this is no different than halo 2 when you got to play as the arbitor so I. Really don't see a problem considering the music is still good Innovation my friend
+James Mclean +NICK STRIFFER You don't have to read just go to HaloFollower channel and in their uploads should be something like Buck is a spartan or something like that.
James Mclean Yes whatever to get the information but I think it's easier to watch HaloFollower, but if you really want to know waht really happened, then sure read the book(s).
That looked cool. But Halo is not about looking cool. Halo is about story, immersion, challenge, and emotional connection to the characters. We got that with all Halo games so far. But now, 343 just took Halo and made it something it isn't. I'm gonna miss Master Chief being the main focus. I miss the idea of Halo rings. I'm gonna miss Cortona, and all the other main characters. I'm gonna miss the soundtrack. I'm gonna miss the feel of the game. More explosions, speed, and cartwheels doesn't make a better game. And with a game like Halo, it should always keep its identity. Now it seems...gone.
+Mike Elamit I'm going off what 343 did in Halo 4. And this opening is sort of too far. 343 seems to have taken the Halo story and took it too far in a different direction. I mean, they were familiar characters in the E3 opening, so I might be wrong. But from watching this, and having seen what 343 has done, I'm really concerned.
I really respect the fact that instead of just using the actors voice, they actually imaged them completely into the game. They aren't just voice over actors anymore they are physically present in the game which changes the dynamic because we recognize them in real life.
+CJ's Reports nope i think halo 5 is too nul..... for a 10/10 Halo 5 it's 253647895607765435768549389504378965789678599999999999999999344943358940389038924892058390278960389028956478223833333333333333333333333888888888888888888222222222222222222222000000000000000000000111111111111111113333333333333344444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666444444444444444444444444444444444444444444/10
Why must all spartans be Unmasked now? three words, Call of Duty. I love that Bro-ish confidence the characters have (sarcasm). There's literally zero tension in this trailer, They're Like, All in a days work, You buying the beers later? seriously?
+Daniel Forth 'Tis the life of a Spartan-IV. They haven't had to suffer as much as a II or III. As for unmasking, it's mainly to get more personal with the characters - they _are_ humans, after all.
+vIDarkStarIv No, I agree with you man. They ruined it. And everybody whining, "NO WAAA! It's like the books! You have to read da bookz!" The Fall of reach came out *BEFORE* Halo 1 was even released, and you most certainly didn't have to read any books for Halo reach - 3 to get it and understand that it is a Halo game. You shouldn't have to read the books, nor should a company use the books as a basis of THEIR stories... That just makes shit writing (if you even want to call it that.) If anything the books should be classified under fanfics.
+syarifah hanyna I know! people complaining and stuff and I'm over here squealing like a teen girl. when i first watched this on the projector at my house i almost cried its so awesome
WHERE IS THE HALO THEME? You don't make a Mario game without the theme or a Star Wars movie without the theme. This the most generic "action movie/game" music ever
+Minor Elite how do you know that? No really how. Nothing they've should U.S. has the theme. Why would you not put the theme in there for the big reveal?
Mack Sima Watch the above video link. Literally the first second of it is the Halo theme. Also, Halo 4 did have the Halo theme; it was present for about 30 seconds, when there was a _HALO_ on screen.
+Goatie89 Spartans were always kinda this OP in the EU. The games just never did them justice. But to answer your question; 1) Even the S-IVs are still in limited numbers and 2) The entire point of the new trilogy is that after the war, humanity became one of the biggest powers in the galaxy. Big enough that the Forerunners themselves are among the few genuine threats to them.
+TheJasperger God dammit dude, they were never OP in the extended universe, give me examples. I can tell you Master Chief couldn't fight a solo Elite in First Strike. Taking down horde's of grunts with land mines is nothing, so don't give me that example. IN THE STORY, Earth gets hit by 1) the Covenant attacks by Regret's fleet and the entire Covenant Armada after that 2) The composer 3) the Forerunner Retrievers from Hunters in the dark. Humanity is on the ropes now, I prefer it if people saw them that way.
***** Might I point out that these S-IVs have much better armor and equipment than the S-IIs ever had? And that these new Covenant might not be as well equipped and trained as the old one? They're specifically established to use outdated equipment. And yes, Spartans were always a lot stronger in the EU than in the games, which honestly never did them justice. Now for your examples: 1) That happened DURING the war, humanity was still weaker back then. 2) Exactly my point, it was a FORERUNNER WARSHIP. The Didacts flagship even. Not even High Charity could have protected itself against that. 3) Those were thousands upon thousands of FORERUNNER Sentinels. So again, the only legitimate threat to humanity right now is the Forerunners. Why? Because 1) Humanity advanced greatly after the war, including reverse engineering Forerunner and covvie tech. 2) The Covenant is only a shadow of its former self and 3) the Flood is gone, for now. Or have you forgotten how in Spartan Ops, the Infinity destroys an entire covvie fleet by herself?
To everyone complaining about the Spartans being OP: This fits pretty well canonically. What with the advancements made due to discoveries in places like Trevelyan, it's no wonder the Spartans are so much more mobile and lethal. Plus, it's been years since those things were discovered. Gear has probably been refined.
What the hell is up with so many people bitching about this trailer and assuming that Halo 5 will fail? If any of you irrelevant complainers read the novels and had any comprehensive ability, you'd know that Spartan IIs and Spartan IVs are able to do what Fire team Osiris just did. This is what they were MADE to do. This game is not a CoD clone. In fact it was CoD that copied the mobility and futuristic tech and abilities that the Spartans could do in the first place. Get your head out of the shit storm that is "Halo is dead", "343 is milking Halo to become CoD", and "This isn't what Halo is supposed to be". Seriously, if you guys complain so much about it, why don't you work on Halo games and do something about it then? Crazy ass people.
By the way, this trailer was awesome and very entertaining! This is what I expected Spartan were able to do to their fullest capacity as from reading about it from the books and how they pull off the most insane stunts without hesitation.
+Randy'sGreatestHits Halo wasn't even supposed to be an M rated game anyways. The only reason why is just probably because of the flood and that's it. From Halo reach all the way to Halo 4, it should have been just T if you think about it.
I like the fact that this shows a more realistic flare to the halo combat. Like how the combat is very chaotic as you can see a wraith just tumbling. Very cool cinematic.
+Ers Static Halo hasn't changed much at all. A few perks to use but still the same shit primary weapons. Everyone uses the battle rifle and a plasma pistol to lolnope any vehicle.
Remember when 343 made Halo 4 like Call of Duty? Remember when 343 pretended like everything was alright with the broken, unplayable Master Chief Collection? Remember when 343 made Halo 5 rated T, added a bunch of characters that no one is interested in at all, made multi-player even less like Halo, realeased this ridiculously over the top, uninteresting trialer and continued to shit all over the Halo franchise that we all grew up with? Yeah, me too...
+EvilPhoenix 007 My previous comment is not even primarily about the T rating. It is about my total lack of faith in 343 and their butchery of my favorite video game series.
+EvilPhoenix 007 Bro, did you not even read my first comment? I honestly enjoyed Halo 4 but that loadout/ordinance shit was gay, then when 343 sold me an incomplete game I got pissed, the Halo 5 beta sucked and all of the previews look more like 343 garbage, so there you go...I don't trust them to make a good Halo game
First. It's not a trailer. Second. Everything changes, games, characters, stories. Although Chief will always be badass, it'd be boring if the game just focused on him. It's 2015, not 2001 anymore you old fart.
+Cory Davis Just a suggestion: If you want to try to use someone's age as an insult, don't make the rest of your post sound even more like something that a kid that age would say than the post you were responding to in the first place.
This looks epic and badass. People are saying they want "believibility" and hate how unrealistic these SPARTANs are. You are playing a VIDEO GAME that takes place in the future with aliens, AIs, and superhuman soldiers. Where the hell is the credibility in that!? Grow a pair and appreciate the game, don't go nitpicking it to death. No body objected when Chief fell from orbit and was up kicking ass only a few minutes later! So back off and let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.
Lol, a Halo jump, get it...? So...from what this whole pre-rendered (Awfull CGI) cutscene shows us....the game's default dificulty is now what...easy? I mean...some say, fireteam Osiris is still moving up and shooting. I wonder if when they finally stop, some 30 km's ahead, they migth realize they passed trough the objective. Anyway, what i'm trying to say here is, normally, a tactical insertion like a Halo jump, is designed to get the operatives exactly where they need to be, with pin point accuracy, so they can secure that area, do what they need to do, and then exfiltrate. I'd imagine that in 500 years from now, these tactics would just become more perfected. What's the point of a shooter where you feel like a goddamn tank, with no danger of dying or loosing, like this seems to show?
Goodbye Childhood friend, it was nice knowing you. But seriously, the multiplayer is now some fast-paced COD wannabe and the rating was dropped. The new Destiny expansion looks more appealing. I'll watch campaign gameplay to see how much 343i demonizes the Chief.
+Nerex Wow you just did that ok here i go! Halo5's MP has to unique types of game types one being, ARENA, arena is a fast paced evenly matched 4v4 or 5v5 death match to who ever gets the most amount of points wins by killing enemy players using power weapons layed across the map and map control, Map control is mostly used for strategy by PRO players to control certain key areas of the map to dominate the enemy team. Halo5 Arena does NOT have perks, ordnance, loadouts, ADS, ect. Halo5 arena is literally shaped by pros such as Flame Sword for example. TO say halo5's MP is like COD when halo invented competitive console play is liking saying a scooter is fast then a Lamborghini. Warzone. Warzone is a new gametype that is created by 343i and has been worked on since 2012. Warzone is implementing PVE story like bosses that are not just bullet sponges (DESTINY) but can attack and call in backup from enmey AI, each boss is actually tied deep into the lore and even has specific history about where their from and what their abilities are, these bosses pop up randomly around the map. Warzones map's are the largest in the series some up to 4 times larger then any halo map Campaign or MP in history. These maps have specific read and blue bases which you must capture by killing formidable enemy AI. Their are neutral bases around the map that you can capture and even unlock ertain buildings which allow you to use vehicles their. Destiny TTK is an overly priced DLC, Bungie lied about almost everything in that game and is clearly for blind casuals that keep playing only to get screwed in the *ss. Halo5's campaign is already confirmed to be the longest and darkest story in the series and will have huge open battles with more AI and mechanics then in previous games, the graphics have been greatly improved and polished, NOTE: halo5 E3 demo was a one year old build of the game imagine what it looks like now. Demonize chief? The old covenant used to call spartan demons yes but now the SWORDS OF SANGHELIOS train with spartans and see where to improve. The storm faction is only a remnant of the the original covenant and is close to defeat. Halo5 is also the 2nd most pre orderd game and is already getting called one of the GREATS aka 1,2, and 3. If you start talking about stuff you clearly dont know your gonna get your *ss handed to you. Im guessing you probably 12 and just go with the crowd even when their wrong, aw so young but so blind, maybe some day you'll actually bother to search up information and not just repeat because you saw or heard it on youtube, like i said though dont talk sh*t if you have no idea what you talking about ;)
I grew up with Bungie's games (Marathon and Halo) , and I'll actually say sorry, as I haven't heard of Warzone yet (sounds pretty cool). though I will disagree with ya on TTK. The new boss mechanics seem pretty cool (like two mini-bosses whose shields go down only when they are right next to each other.
+Nerex Sorry but as much as I used to respect Bungie in the past, Destiny is a joke, they got 500 millions buck to make a generic Halo MMO without a significant story... ewww, I mean with that ton of money, many devellopers would have made something better than this pure garbage. Destiny is a shame.
+GoldGollum just putting this out there, but that 500 million commitiment is to the game for teh next decade, it was NOT what was used on destiny 1, furthermore, it's already been leaked, that storyline wise, destiny was vastly different a year before release(and possible good) but activision shits on anything they touch...so yea, destiny turned to crap, and bungie let it happen.
Isnt there suppose to be a rule where like: You cant just run into battle and kill whoever tf you want when two armies are fighting LOL! like they just basically 4v9000 outta no where xD some covenant just got off the ship and just got wiped out LMAO ayeee xD
Umm not a trailer.. It's the first cinematic of the game.. Their might be a live action trailer soon. Since all halo games have seem to have one.. So don't get your hopes up yet..
+Nathan Tabain Read the description Einstein ,this is a trailer and don't you mean "Don't give up your hopes yet"? ...If you gonna reply with the idea of correcting someone at least put some thought into it m8.
they released a couple of traditional live action trailers a while ago, and this is the opening cinematic to the game so your argument is completely invalid.
an amazing and actually realistic to the halo lore cinematic, the reason why I loved spartans. This video showing them dominate is proof of how powerful the spartans and how feared they were.
Eh, absolute trash. No sense of danger, no sense of urgency, nothing. Just a couple of buds foot sledding down a hill, slaughtering entire battalions of advanced, alien life forms, whilst some how disarming, and destroying an entire armada of space craft. 'Cause MAH CoD
***** Boy, seems realistic.. Yeah, if there are more than one enemy, they won't engage one, whilst annoying another. Jesus Christ, you people will defend a shitty dev group until the death.
First off, this a group of highly trained SPARTAN-IV's all hand picked to hunt down Master Chief and Blue Team. Second off, when you are fighting one enemy and some other enemy seemingly appears out of thin air behind you, where the rest of your team was just alive five seconds ago, and jumps on your back you are not going to immediately think "Argh an enemy! Quickly, throw them off of my back and kill them!" no you are going to be like "Hey Terry stop fucking around we are in a warzone!". And lastly they only killed what was directly in front of them, they didn't destroy any spaceships, and they didn't just start mowing down hordes of enemies, they killed what they needed to in order to make it to their objective in one piece.
+LazyFaux5656 Dude, come on, have you ever read the novels about the Halo Universe? At least the essentials? Don't come criticizing if you don't know what you're talking about. Look: Spartans are trained since childhood in order to minimize the impact of those senses of danger and urgency. The UNSC usually recruits children that went through a lot of negative experiences during their childhood so they won't experience a bigger emotional impact. They use chemicals to make them taller, stronger, faster and a lot smarter than any marine, meaning that they would have around 10 times faster reflexes than a normal person. They can endure for weeks without eating or sleeping. Some of them even know about electronics. Also, they are all used to being at their limits during any fight. I must say I'm not disappointed by this scene since it retrieves a lot from the Masterchief's experience from the first 3 games of the Halo saga. But, well you could tell -by the context of this scene- it seems like 343 industries gave these characters some whole new devices and abilities of massive destruction in order to make them more overpowered than they were already, which is an improvement in comparison to any of the previous games. But well, you know it's their game so they can make anything happen and screw logic :P
343 has yet to make a game that was not broken, trash. 343 has killed, cut, and ruined everything that I ever loved about Halo. The custom games, and the community from earlier Halos is all but killed completely. Split screen and fun with family and friends, the biggest and the most important part of Halo is completely removed, they say to free up space for graphics. The online gameplay that was renowned as being the best of it's and any other genre has been changed, watered down, and perverted, into a COD copy. This is not Halo, this is a completely different, and worse game made by worse people, cashing in on the amazing prestige and recognition of the Halo name. They have taken a game that was in almost every way perfect, and turned it into something unrecognizable, and a disappointment to anyone who respected the original developers and game. Microsoft and 343 take advantage of loyal fans that buy their games, because fabs are hoping and wishing that maybe the next Halo will be like it was, that maybe, just maybe, they can pull it all around. The fact is Bungie finished their game, they finished Halo, this is Microsoft desperately trying to cash in and get as much money as they can, beating the horse, and then when Bungie decided that they would not destroy their game anymore, Microsoft built a new company that would. I'm sorry, but now when I look at Halo all I can think of is all the fun I use to have with friends and how this will never live up to what it was. Microsoft will pay 343 to make Halo games until people stop buying them, it will eventually become a yearly release COD style copy past job, there is no love left in this game, it is just a disappointment.
I have left it altogether, and True Halo fans would not play a COD copy with a Halo title. Sorry these are facts, I don't expect people to be happy about it, Fanboys especially.
Well, we are happy with it, wether you agree with it or not. True Halo fans accept change, and dont get held back by nostalgia. We need to move on, dude. We can't copy+paste Halo 2 anymore. That's just lazy.
What ever you say man, if you are fine with a COD yearly release clone which is were this game is going now, then have at it. But it is not Halo, and it is not a good game, just because a trash developer throws Halo in the title. However a fanboy like yourself would not criticize a Halo game even if it came with a mandatory rectal exam. Because it is Halo, therefor it is good. Sad really, if you care about your games, you should fight for them, not bend over and and take it. Remember when Halo was the main MLG game? yea that has not been a thing in a long time because it is not a good game anymore. Remember all the awards it has won? you probably don't becasue 343 has not gotten any awards for any of its games, and the last time any Halo game received an award or even a nomination was Halo 3. So tell me this is improving, tell me that it is a better game. The fans said they wanted a reskin of the games they loved. 343 answered, and decided to give them exactly what they wanted. All they had to do was update the graphics and put out a game that worked, but they could not do that. People wanted the games to play the same as they did, 343 changed how the games played, one of the most important being the melee system. You can fanboy all you want, but don't stand there and say Halo is better for it. Looks at the facts, and fight for the game. If you want this game to go to shit, then fine, but don't pretend that what is happening is good.
lol, saying a game is better than Halo 4 and Reach is hardly a complement. Every game is better than 4 and Reach. Also, if you read what I said, I said that it is heading towards a yearly release like COD. Plus these "facts" you are pulling out of your ass that 343 has done all these things, and is so great, and that they listen is full of shit. Also I never said I wanted all Halos to be a Halo 2 reskin. I personally like 3 over 2. However I want Halo, to be Halo. This is not a Halo game. If you look at what people are actually saying, and not threw your fanboy ears, you will notice that most people say that the game looks like it could be good, however they specifically say it is NOT HALO. If 343 made their own game, they might make a game that is not half bad, however they are trying to do two things at once. they want to make their own game, but they want to make Halo. They need to let Halo be what it was, and make their own thing. Halo was done with 3. On the back of the game it says "The exciting conclusion to the Halo trilogy." 343 needs to make their own arena shooter, with spring, and gun kick, and all the other crap they have put in. and if they did that i would have no problem. but it is not halo, they are trying to cash in on the halo name, because they are afraid to try and stand on their own work.
+jalankia It's one cinematic of a game. It is in no way the right representation. Noentheless, it is fantastic eye candy, not even the most professional and mature can doubt that.
Directed by Michael Bay... Seriously what a joke. Halo used to be a respected franchise. And LOL at the Spartans, middle aged and out of shape looking, it looks like they picked up a bunch of retired TV commercial actors and put them in battle armor.
+STDrepository hahahah yes. 'directed my michael bay', my thoughts exactly. it might sound cliché but none of these kids understand what's missing from 343's 'halo'.
+Ers Static dumbass again?? reminds me of 343's writing. as for the rest of this comment, more baseless tripe. I was there day 1 for halo 2 and halo 3. halo CE I first played a month after release.
+Zurg Goide Playstation is by far the most popular console brand globally and -> PS is more popular than Xbox on Neogaf. OMG, shocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (That has to be the case on every single multiplatform forum and community, and certainly so outside the US.) (And btw, I like Halo and I'm going to get XB1 eventually.)
Zurg Goide Don't we have the option to block delusional/annoying people comments if we're the comment starter? you should try that. unless they removed it.
+Ａｏｒｉ This is actually not too far off book descriptions of S2 abilities if you've read them. They're just trying to hammer home that Osiris is on par with Blue team.
pass, i think ill stick to 40k books and Halo cane stay in game form. Infact im glad its still xbox only. only played Halo1 due to that shit. was not goin to upgrade to a new OS in vista just to play fucking Halo 2 then onnly to get shafted when Halo 3 ODST etc were all also XBOX only.
goldenstalionMCOM I read the books, I know the kind of shit they do but this just looks like some over the top Hollywood action movie and is nothing like Halo. It's like some shitty CoD Trailer with them doing rediclious shit to hype you up to not even be able to do that in-game.
This is bullshit. I want the story to be centered around *Arbiter* and *Chief*. Like in Halo 2 and 3 Covenant invasion of Earth, where they finally become buddies and their dogged resistance assisted the overall effort at slowing down the Covenant advance.
Im sorry this looks absolutely ridiculous and doesnt seem like halo what so ever. Only thing the does obviously is the look of all the characters. Thanks 343 for making another CoD.
hmm Bungie makes a trailer like this and its a masterpiece? But since it's 343i then we should bash? Wtf man. This game is fun as hell. Don't go around saying this isn't halo because it is! If you want that tactical feeling play arena. The rest of us will enjoy this game
You people need to stop sitting in your dark corners and praising the older halos because they were the ones you grew up with and were what you liked. I personally only want to play this because it's a new Halo, but also because this looks awesome and new.
This.
Maple Otaku is?
This post. It's the truth.
Maple Otaku Thank you.
+UberTuber It looks cool, I just wish the gameplay was more like 2 and 3 (Rendered film =/= gameplay).
We'll see, though, the game will probably still be good.
Remember everyone the difficulty was set on easy in this Cinematic, because we know we can't kill elites that fast on legendary lol.
more like total badass difficulty I mean did you see am those parlour stunts they pulled?
+unknownphyzics You should see the Halo 3 trailer where MC jumped in front of 3 wraiths and 20 brutes.
+unknownphyzics lol phyzics are you going to do another Halo 5 gun sync :)
+unknownphyzics hello phyzics :D
+ark13700 but when he did that the scene blacked out
Blue team would have killed everyone in like a minute tho
+slicer940 Um.. No?
Japeth555 lol he is exaggerating but its still cool to think about this but with blue team
+Japeth555 I'm only saying that because blue team is much more experienced and they were trained and fought way better than any other soldier
+Japeth555 ummmm yesss
+slicer940 Not even a minuet. The shear badass-ness of blue team would've killed all those covies in seconds.
The moment blue team steps on the field they release waves of badasssosterone making those squid faces drop like flies.
Does anyone else think that this looks like the Avengers Age of Ultron opening scene?
A lot of people did lol. Search up on YT for a vid with this and the audio from Age of Ultron's opening scene. It's cool.
i already did and like omfg.
+Kim Yusin Omg I just showed my friend and h said it was like avengers
+Kim Yusin music sounds like avengers too
+Kim Yusin Very much.
343 just pulled an Avengers shot..
Gay
+Solid Brix Studios Yah I half expected to hear the Avengers Theme start playing.
+Solid Brix Studios thats so what i was trying to say. That was so fucking stupid. the background action and ships crashing is normal but them spartans flipping around jumping of very high cliffs with no pause when they landed. throwing around aliens like there rag dolls. Running through rocks and the running looked all wrong. there moving way to fast for the foot steps there taking.. WHY would they do this now!
+Sev 117 You have to realize those steps they take are perfectly possible. They are decending from a mountain range. Ever heard of gravity bro? Its the force which pulls things down
+BattlePro3 plus they have thrusters and mechanical muscle aid from their suits
Pretty cool. One gripe though. What exactly is the tactical purpose of bright pink armor?
I miss back when SPARTANS were elite armored super soldiers. Not power rangers
+SpectreGray In the Lore spartan IV's were given ample room to customize.
+collin ohlinger I think the question was "what exactly is the tactical purpose of bright pink armor" not "why is this person wearing bright pink armor?"
TheMaleRei She's probably a Spartan III and suicidal.
+SpectreGray If they wanted to hide, they'd just use an active camouflage module. If they don't use it, there's no reason to think they wanna hide.
+SpectreGray its to be easily identifiable in a fast moving video game. Not everything needs to be 100% full tactical military bullshit. Seriously, whats the tactical advantage of having a double barrelled rocket launcher?? We have launchers in todays world that can fire more than rocket with a single barrel. Some shit is just there to be cool
EPIC WORLDS! EPIC BATTLES! EPIC SCALE!
THIS IS HALO 5: GUARDIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+MonkeyxMoo35 No, that's Planetside 2.
+Kepler Labs nope, it's halo
+MathPhysCode MPc What's "worlds" are in Crysis?
***** in you're on eyes, you don't know what you're missing
+MonkeyxMoo35 SO how long have you been working for msoft?
Watching this trailer, you'd assume it means 4-player local co-op like the old days. But nope, everybody has to play with their own console. In fact, split screen has been removed completely in Halo 5. One of the main reasons why I've been able to continue playing Halo for all of these years was the split-screen multiplayer-- to be able to bring a few friends over and have some fun in one place, whether against each other or online. Halo 5 is putting an end to that tradition that tens of millions love to do.
Over a year ago, I put my money towards PS4 with much regret that I won't be able to play Halo. Now I don't feel that regret very much anymore. It's still going to be an amazing game, but it will never be the same without split-screen.
+NJPwN only 6,000 signed a petition which went viral to get SS back, no one cares about it , its OUTDATED! Halo5 is the 2nd most pre orderd game right now and its an exclusive! No one will miss you for making the wrong choice of a console while we pla maybe the greatest halo in HISTORY.
+MYTHICALTWINKIE Did you just say nobody cares about splitscreen? What made Goldeneye so iconic? What made the Burnout series' success fall short after the release of Paradise? What is the key importance of Mario Kart? I don't see how anybody could think there's little value in local multiplayer. The only reason today's console games are lacking splitscreen is due to the graphical processing demand, forcing them to either reduce the quality, or the framerate. And they see it as damaging the gameplay experience. I think it's very clear that most people would want local multiplayer if it was an available option. Especially for a game like Halo. If you honestly think splitscreen for Halo is an obsolete feature, then I don't think you've played Halo in its glory days (2002-2009)
***** It's not about money, it's about the affordance of local multiplayer that we've had for over a decade with the Halo franchise. Now you need 4 consoles and TVs to play together in the same place. I grew up playing this on a CRT with my cousins on summers back in 2002, to meeting every friday after school with friends to play social slayer for hours in 2007, etc. Those traditions are being thrown away for the first time in 14 years of Halo. So maybe people like you who only play alone or with friends online wouldn't give a shit that splitscreen is going away-- but as antisemitic as want to be about it, there's no denying that it was a great thing for many people for many years.
***** Welp, no reasoning happening here. Enjoy the game, basement dweller.
+delta38vader I will :)
Dude halo lost itself god what is this avengers who remembers the beautiful piano trailers that left us shaking and amazed
This is the new generation of Spartans with a new sound. Blue team will have more traditional Halo music when their cutscenes and probably gameplay comes. This helps separate the two groups by sound of their music
+Delta Devine Boring, just like that old stale gameplay, glad we get a big change.
That was the old this is the new. 1-3 is like a WW2 movie. The new games are like a modern action movie.
That was the old this is the new. 1-3 is like a WW2 movie. The new games are like a modern action movie.
Harrison Flesher but there is an intellectual style the old ones were done in. chopin's 28 preludes no. 15 "raindrop" was in the background of the best trailer I have ever seen it was Believe in the halo 3 ad campaign now this is trying to get 10 year olds excited about this T rated game halo CE INTENTIONALLY pushed the game to have an M rating it was for an intellectually mature audience who would come to appreciate the fine details and references to history and real life parallels. It hurts to see that focus gone... I miss that is what I'm trying to say...
"Spartans aren't meant to move, look, and act like that! MY MULTIPLAYER BIAS SAY'S SO!!" -_-
+collin ohlinger He's being sarcastic...
+bubbajoe117
1. the movement is actually not realistic because the human body only has a certain number of joints, and the movement here makes a complete mockery of those joints, they move like a '80s imported kung fu movie star.
2. the way they look is a mass departure from previous series, and even the conanical sources(books) the armor would look better on a power ranger, then on a spartan according to the lore.
3.in terms of acting...they are soldiers, and no soldier on the planet acts the way they do,
+CopperLeagueGaming I enjoy when people say "READ THE BOOKS" when even the books don't portray them in such a fashion..
Randy'sGreatestHits Quit trying to be a nostalgia nut, if you aren't interested in Halo anymore then do everyone a favor including yourself and leave. Honestly don't understand the logic behind actively seeking out things you know you don't like so you can bitch about how much you don't like what you see, it just makes you look desperate for either a argument or attention.
+bubbajoe117 listen here fanboi117... if you have an opinion state it, don't attack others and belittle their opinions.
if you don't understand WHY A FAN WOULD DISLIKE CHANGES TO SOMETHING HE REALLY LIKED... you are a fucking idiot. go back to whatever basement you crawled out of.
Good to know that elites who could previously hold their own 1v1 against a spartan are about as dangerous as a fluffy bunny now.
+Tak 'Vakamai That is the unfortunate cause of the Spartan-IV's.... dumb humans. Always ruining everything.
*****
I don't think they even gave them time to respond. They rushed passed them, only killing the ones directly in their path. That's why it was easy.
I can run through a field of already-distracted enemies if I needed to.
In the later books, after he first trilogy, its pretty easy for the spartans to kill elites.
+Tak 'Vakamai Yea I remember those days too.
+Tak 'Vakamai Just like in the old Halo games?
IS THAT NATHAN FILLION
I only clicked on this vid to confirm if it was him or not
AkitoUrashima same
between the characters look and his voice it's pretty obvious it is.
+Donald Neal Yes. I just watched him on Kimmel talking about it. And so I came here to see it for myownself.
+Donald Neal It's Buck from ODST, who is, yes, played by Nathan Fillion.
i remember when halo was actually GOOD
How is this not awesome????
+smokethemdown420 You must be blind
+smokethemdown420 you must be thinking of another series because Halo has ALWAYS been good
+Tyler Herndon most likely traded his 360 for a PS4 and is butthurt
+smokethemdown420 lol
this game is going to be huge visuals looks stunning!
Just beautiful
It's pre-rendered.
+slvrcobra1337 Visuals doesn't JUST mean graphical fidelity, you know. Maybe he was talking about aesthetics? Art style?
Cinematic also ps4 master race
Minor Elite Yeah, but most of the time graphical fidelity *is* the subject, especially now where everybody's suddenly become graphics whores (no offense to anyone here, just being general).
no matter how many times i watch it, it never gets old. chills every time
Okay....why are people making such a federal case out if this trailer?
- The Spartans are jumping around and tearing through entire hordes of aliens, you say? Hm....just like they do in the books, the games and the anime shorts?
- This is a futuristic Call of Duty you say? Ah yes, because Halo was never entered around a war where you take the lead of groups of expendable NPCs and utilize military weapons and vehicles and-oh wait...
- Multiplayer sucks now you say? Um...I don't play multiplayer anyways, so I don't particularly care.
- This is not Halo anymore, you say? Well let's see, it's made pretty much by the same people from Bungie who worked on Halo 4 via 343, it takes place in the same timeline, it's about fighting aliens and exploring an ancient threat to the known universe and the main characters are Spartan Super Soldiers with faces and personalities.....oh yeah, it's totally not Halo, note the sarcasm I am using as I type this. It's their game franchise, their universe to build, not yours.
- This is a rip off of Avengers Age of Ultron you say? Or it's just a trailer to get people hyped. The gameplay seen is pretty much like previous Halo instalments minus improvements they've made. I'll only believe it's a rip off if I hear anything about 'no strings on me'
- This sucks because the Chief isn't the main character you say? Or maybe they want to explore the Haloverse from a new perspective? Maybe have Chief appear later on?
So far all of what I hear can be summed up as this: 343 changed things and now people are pissed. But if they left it at Halo 3 we'd have been left with the Chief floating for eternity in a cryotube, and they needed to bring a whole new giant threat out to one up the Flood and the Covenant and I'd say Didact did a good job of that and whatever they have planned for this will do a better job.
Now...I shall open the flood gates by saying this: I dare anybody here to provide a real, detailed & thought out reason as to why Halo 5 will be bad.
And....wow, my shift key is apparently useless in the comments section.
+D Thorne They don't do that shit in the books, people need to stop saying that shit.
Master Chief couldn't out match ONE single Elite in hand to hand combat in First Strike
Kodiak couldn't beat N'tho in single combat (When N'tho was holding back) in Hunters in the Dark.
Spartans DO NOT do this shit in the books.
+Nahtee Uh yes he does. Chief goes against the absolute very best who are even more dangerous than the Elites that everyone here is crying about. How many Elites did any of you drop in the original Halo?
+D Thorne +1 to everything you said man.
And giving single examples of Spartans losing to Elites doesn't change a fucking thing. They are physically inferior to Spartans. Their tactics are inferior to those of Spartans (case in point, using swords as a primary weapon.). The only advantage Sangheilli ever have over Spartans is technological (energy shields and plasma weapons), and even that's tenuous at best.
Dude you sound so stupid with this comment go get a girlfriend
I didn't even know I was subbed to this channel :P
+Nopozzy Me neither.. I was like, wtf is this?
same here
Lol me too
LOL same
+zdrux it's been almost a year since they posted anything
this could be a movie
this looks like the first scene from age of ultron so yeah this definitely could be a movie
+I HAVE NO NAME Probably where the cutscene designer gained inspiration.
This game was in production right after halo 4 came out...
+SR Bacca yeah and so was age of ultron after the original avengers movie back in may 2012.
Okay, I'll say it.
WHERE THE HELL WERE THESE GUYS DURING THE FALL OF REACH?!??!
Buck got saved by Noble 6 and barely got evac from the Glassing of Reach. So yeah, he wasn't that much help in Reach.
As for everyone else just like Buck they were still ODST and not Spartans
+Corey Thomas Besides Buck as deckire mentioned, we do know Locke was compiling a report on Thel Vadam just after Reach fell(you see this in one of Halo CE's terminals), Tanaka was trapped on her glassed homeworld for the past 2 years and would remain for one more before the UNSC saved her, and Vale wasn't even 17 when Reach fell
+S3R3ND1P1TY These 4 would've died immediately.
They arent even supposed to exist.. 343 has changed canon by introducing them. Chief was the only spartan left. It says so on the back of the halo 3 disc case.
I recognized Nathan Fillion as soon as he was on screen
Same, I love that man
+hootypatootie I was like Castle?
It's Malcom Reynolds to you! Or you could just call him Buck ;)
I'm expecting a Blue Team one now
+Bruno Columbus I'm pretty sure one with Blue Team would crash any video hosting site by sheer greatness alone.
+Bruno Columbus talking about viral video :P
+Bruno Columbus Damn right! I really do hope they've made one :D
+Bruno Columbus If I remember correctly, the second mission, first for Blue Team, has a pretty awesome cinematic that might be worthy of release as well.
But I really don't want anything else revealed.
+Bruno Columbus They have to make one!!!!!
and people say Spartan IVs are slightly upgraded ODSTs
SO MUCH YESSS
+Linda Pravdin “S-058” imagine a real Spartan in the battlefield now...or just wait till the Blue Team!!
Edgar Rodriguez a Spartan Team from Halo would single handedly take out the entire US Military
+Linda “S-058” Pravin OK that's just a bit much right there...
Darth Geekonius energy shielding which would deflect bullets,titanium armour which can stand falls from orbit,it really isn't
+Linda “S-058” Pravdin the shields drain and the armor can be damaged by heavy ballistics. The novels make it clear that Spartan's of any Mark aren't invincible. A fire team of Spartans would be worth a platoon of current US Military, but saying they can take the entire US Military isn't an accurate assessment of their capability or the current military's capabilities.
So apparently Spartan IVs are just as elite as Spartan IIs now? Am I the only one here who thinks that's a horrendous idea? The whole idea of the Spartan IIs was to be that chief and the Spartan IIs were supposed to be genetically unique and naturally superior than the rest of humanity. But now the UNSC can just churn them out like they were regular marines now? Stupid idea. I wouldn't be surprised if they killed chief off in this one btw.
Spartan IVs aren't as good as Spartan IIs, IVs depend on their technology while IIs depend on teamwork
Fun fact: buck referred the S II’s as “gods”, S III’s as titans and S IV as demigods.
Halo 5 dev team: You know that scene in Michael Bay's ninja turtles where they slide down the mountain in the snow and fight stuff? Let's do that, only with Halo guys! [everyone cheers]
Please show me how I was being a dumbass just because someone doesn't know something and you do doesn't give you the right to be an ass
+quigleyfox I often joke about a car that can be 7 stars ANCAP (Australian New Car Assessment Program) in Australia. The most stars a car will ever have is 5 stars. The reason I mentioned this is because I have got a theory for that car that can really save people's lives more than 90%. If that car gets developed then it would be pushing the boundaries. Just like Halo 5. I have had the first Xbox bought from the shops 3 months after it got released new and since then I played halo 1 that I had owned. I finished it and the fact is that no matter what Halo is Halo. I have finished Halo 2 and I have got from the shops a new Xbox 360 with the 60 GB hard since 2009 and I have played Halo 3 that I bought used. So my point is that if anyone tried to change the rules or the gameplay of Halo or any other game it might be for the better because if everybody just kept playing the same game the players will never know if this new stuff is word every penny. Just like the 7 Stars ANCAP safety rating car that can never exist as long as someone pushes the boundaries and decides to go against the flow of what car makers are already doing. So if this quigleyfox is from the developer team from Halo is because he must need some info as to how the game looks and what are people's reactions so that in future Halo Games they will not make the same mistake. I have only played the first 3 Halos so I can't comment on the rest unless I buy them and Play them.
The last final thought would be that to leave him alone if you think that he is joking about something that he simply stated that he wants people who are going to play the game to know what it will look from a developers perspective.
This is awesome! Can't wait to play Halo 5! #TeamBuck
#teambuck
Looks more like another Marvel action movie than Halo. Let's hope this ridiculously over the top intro is not indicative for the game's combat.
+Heimkineast I guess you never played the BETA. The gameplay is fucking epic!!
+Heimkineast They are supersoldiers numb nuts.
+Heimkineast Truthfully, this is the best way Spartans are represented deep within the lore. Combat shouldn't be affected, but the scripted parts will probably not be your favorite in the game.
+Heimkineast How else would you imagine people with super strength and agility to fight?
+edgeofsins They are basically like Iron Man though...who can do all of those things.
I'l admit the ground pound is pretty questionable but nobody is at least giving them credit for the most basic of things. Look at the amount of work this took to make compared to a cinematic in Halo 3 or any other Halo game really. These people aren't just waving their dicks around making juvenile decisions. People in their position make decisions for a reason. That's more than a lot of the UA-cam commentors can say.
This is true. However, no one ever complained about Halo 3s cinematics or other Halo games. If they want to exercise their animation skills go work for dreamworks, don't change a great franchise into some ridiculous childish shit.
I just believe that after 11 years change should be a little more appreciated.
+Slyrae Durant A beautifully well-crafted cinematic doesn't make for a good game, though.I couldn't care less about the quality of cutscenes when I could have a fitting story and overall content.
+L Faraone yeah whatever shutup your lying
***** I wasn't asking for an argument nor will I participate in one. Thank you for writing that wall of text so poorly and aggressively, now I can add you to my blacklist.
these are spartan 4s imagine Spartans 2s. seriously though, they went too crazy this time. lol I guess they've been watching avengers. seems like gravity was set to 50% lol.
+Ozone9 You realize this wasn't taking place on Earth, right?
+Japeth555 I know.
All of them are using jumpjets to boost their jumps and speed. Why is this difficult to understand?
+OrchardFilm true. it just looks weird. not used to seeing this kind of movement from a spartan. in the books they are like this.
in the past halo games they seemed sluggish as hell.
+Ozone9 to me it just looks like people in super suits: enhanced jumps, speed and power but not invincible; they're still in critical danger the whole time. You're right tho, they are way faster than past Halo games... maybe they've made some improvements to the suits?
Oh godddddd I was really hoping this was a fucking joke but it's not is it? What are they fucking God-like super beings? Does anyone else think they've gone so far past any semblance of credibility that it has just become a joke? OK so basically these "Spartans" which may as well be the avengers, just toss on their helmets like a fucking baseball cap, fall thousands of feet from the sky and just start skipping along the ground doing kung fu on everything in their way? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS
+zedooncadhz Ya, that's kinda what Spartans are, they're super soldiers. That's how they've always been in the books, they just haven't had proper representation in the games until now.
EPiiCx5587 Even if they were super soldiers it doesnt explain how they could fall thousands of feet without needing to break their fall and then stat skipping along at 50mph. There's a line between what is believable and what isn't. You might as well say "ah well they're super soldiers they can do anything" and just have them skipping through space tearing the engines off all the enemy ships they see and single handedly ending the war
zedooncadhz
Master Chief fell from orbit and got back up at the start of Halo 3. Plus one of the augments spartan's get are nearly indestructible bones. Plus their reaction time is a lot faster than a regular human. Plus Spartan can run really fast. One of the Spartan's on Master Chief's Blue Team can even run up to 54mph from what I can remember. If you want I can provide a list of some of the augments Spartan 4's specifically get. BTW in Halo The Fall of Reach ( which was the first book made for Halo ) Master Chief himself back-handed a missile while running, and still managed to avoid the explosion.
Spartans are able to run at about 55mph, their enhanced bodies + Spartan IV suit allows them to be extremely strong, agile and resistant
Master Chief literally punched a nuke and survived, killed a guy in 2 punches and survived re-entry to a planet
Plus, the books have described spartans as almost super heroes, they can pull some serious stunts and maneuvers that seem impossible, Halo 5 is finally portraying them as they are
+zedooncadhz "What are they fucking God-like super beings?"
They're super soliders
"OK so basically these "Spartans" which may as well be the avengers, just toss on their helmets like a fucking baseball cap"
Like Chief did in the start of Halo 2?
"fall thousands of feet from the sky"
Have you played Halo 3? Only difference here is that Osiris had thrusters to slow their descent
OMG HYPE OVER 900000
+I'm Patrick why
+I'm Patrick hype over 343,117!
Still better than what destiny will ever be.
THIS PINHEAD JUST CAME
+Dawson Granger what isn't better then destiny?
When the trailer is better than the game.
All aboard the Hype Train!

+BrassProphet please go back to your PS4 to play some arcades this holiday
I've been aboard lol
+BrassProphet I mean if we are talking about Flop Town The Order 1886 has been there from the start.
Choo choo muthafu**a
Everyone and their mother is a Spartan now. Also Spartans are invincible and ridiculously OP.
did you even look at one of the books
+DeathByCake118 You don't even have to read the books... You just have to play any other Halo made before 343 took it and realize what an actual spartan is. And it's most certainly NOT a spartan IV power ranger.
+DeathByCake118
agreed, SPARTAN IV's aren't meant to be as good as SPARTAN II's. The Spartan 2's were the best of the best, and could genuinely achieve the feats shown in this cinematic. From the age of 6 they were trained to be the best the UNSC could make them. They were SPARTANs. But it's not unlikely that their are other Spartans that could achieve similar feats. SPARTAN B312 was designated Hyper Lethal, on par with John 117. And by the sounds of the game, Fireteam Osiris are going up against Blue Team, THE SPARTANs. If you have read the books then you'll know that this team are the best of the SPARTAN II's. So the UNSC would have to find a team of similar ability to bring the former into line. Also, it's not unreasonable to assume the UNSC has evolved to be efficient in dealing with the Covenent and instilled these idealologies into the SPARTAN 4's.
+Matt Woodley they needed a cheaper more efficient way to get effective troops on the battlefield. i dont necessarily agree with their method but to be fair it would take a while to get someone as skilled as "the private grim reaper" on the field again
The music that kicks in at 2:12 is sweet.
Ikr! Like damnnnn
I didn't know Halo soldiers were so strong that they can put down a large alien beast with a single back hand
Hey, remember when Elites were a legitimate threat to humanity's absolutely best super-soldier? Neither do we!
-343 studios.
+Brad Zeitler That was before Humanity's technology expanded and even incorporated extremely advanced Forerunner technology.
Spartan-IV's are quite supported by their tech - more efficiency. PLUS - these Remnant elites are much less organized, perhaps even with less training.
+Minor Elite yeah in reach they raped Spartans easily now there likegurnts
+Minor Elite So spartan-IV's are suddenly all magically as good as our absolute best supersoldier EVER? And the remnants were supposed to be at least as organized (if not more so!) than the regular Covenant. I don't buy it. Maybe if they were brutes, but elites were supposed to be, well, elite.
They should have let Master Chief's legend end with 3, and followed someone else for 4. Fresh start. Re-find the majesty, the mystery! Now its nothing but "Quick! shoot these robots, they're the NEW bad guy! OOOH! Spooky evil space robots! Bewaaaare!"
Brad Zeitler
Not magically. Spartan-IVs are a result of human technological advancement combined with the reclamation of old Forerunner technologies.
They would've been created sooner were it not for the Human-Covenant war completely stopping all technological advancement.
They aren't as good as a II, but they certainly can match up against one. IN their armor. Outside, a II obviously would win.
As for the Remnant, they're more fanatical. They don't have an entire military powerhouse behind them. If anything, they're nothing more than one of countless anti-human-treaty factions.
+Minor Elite I would also recommend watching the Halo Wars cutscene "Monsters"
Just imagine if Buck mumbled the ODST song (Jodie) as he Jumped off. He just starts mumbling this as he slowly walks towards the edge:
: Helljumper Helljumper where you been?: Feet first inta hell and back again!: When I die please bury me deep: Place my MA5 down by my feet: (continued): Don't cry for me, don't shed no tear!: Just pack my box with PT gear!: 'Cuz one early morning 'bout zero-five!: The ground will rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky!: Don't you worry, don't come undone!: It's just my ghost on a PT run
Then Buck leans forward and leaps into Hell.
+Richard T that's an ODST running cadence, otherwise known as a jodie, not the ODST anthem. The military uses jodies to keep people on step while they run while also boosting moral.
+Legion _ (Fixed) I found it under anthem, so I just assumed, either way.
+Richard T a bit cheesy
Miow Corp. Yeah.
....... Nathan Fillion?
Yes
No Charlie Sheen.
+Reginald Quaffsworth NATHAN. FILLION.
+Reginald Quaffsworth I think the character name is Buck and he was in ODST. I'm assuming he got promoted to Spartan when they started doing it to "normal" people. Probably because of the events of ODST :P
***** sssshhhhh, we dont want them to know about the secret buck cloning factory they commissioned alongside the spartan program during the great war.
90% of the comments on this video just prove how much of a fucking cancer the Halo community has become. The game's not bad, but the community sure as hell is.
+XenoAlbedo there are still some good people out there
+XenoAlbedo True enough.
+XenoAlbedo It's not the Halo community, it's the people who hate the halo community along with nostalgia tards. People are just plain stupid now. "DONT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT HALO EVER! BUT IT NEEDS TO BE NEW AND DIFFERENT OR I'LL GET MAD" It's completely ridiculous. And this attitude is plaguing every sequel being made in the gaming industry and it's just sad when so much work goes into creating these games and stories.
agsozero Where to begin. I'm Japanese and I grew up in Japan, I've graduated from University and I have a degree. That being said your english is garbage and what you said makes zero sense. Also Halo has always been about the universe and the characters as well as the combat. Halo 1 was made before Xbox Live even existed and the story was a massive part of what sold the game. So if you want some dumbed down zero emotion pointless shoot meaningless crap game, it's never been halo and thank god it never will be. You're a mindless idiot and you want mindless crap, and that's perfectly fine but realize you're an idiot and get lost. Also it's 343i not 343j.
agsozero lol, I genuinely don't care about anything you have to say, nor do I care if you believe me. That "you're" I made a mistake on was only because that originally said "you're an idiot" but whatever. Good luck being a racist moron.
So now there are boosts (like CoD Advanced poopfare) power punches (like destiny and advanced poopfare) and now the guns sound weak and low caliber (like advanced poopfare).
+laimonas lb There have been thruster packs in Halo since 2001.
The only thing close to thruster packs was jet packs in and after Halo Reach and man and vehicle cannons which lift you into the air. This Halo seems to much more like Destiny and/or Advanced warfare.
A thruster pack is a type of jetpack. And there were thruster packs in The Fall of Reach (2001)
Japeth555 The book? yes of course there was and in the game, but not these call of duty horizontal speed boosters.
You realize that even if we just consider the video games, that Halo: Reach (2010) was the first game to introduce such a gameplay mechanic, right?
I'm choking on my own blood right now.
Man 343 you really want us to like Team Osiris don't you?
WELL ITS WORKING
+TheSpectralForce Are you ok?
Tys Dasd Nope
+TheSpectralForce Mission 1 is Team Osiris.
Mission 2 is Blue Team.
That's why Osiris is the focus
+Opie Winston personally, after seeing this, i think it's an even match. but if they take blue team head on, they will lose, but if they strategize and pick them off, osiris stands a chance.
+TheSpectralForce Chief for life!!!!!!

In previous you fought and never said a word...
The halo universe evolved around you!
now.. you talk and talk and talk.
+randomshittutorials It's the 120lb women Spartans. Yackkity yackkity yak. Also, did we need to have Otter-pop flavored armor 343? I guess they're camouflaged if they happen to run into a Kool-Aid factory.
opetke Nah the armor looks just perfect to me..
Just the speed and talking..
it's oke if lock and the spartans from the new
but the master chief MUST talk heavier and less.... We know he's not a war machine but it is how he grew up!
I think we've had enough silent protagonists for one lifetime. You can't connect with them as much.
futurewriter87 I think it's fine if they talk less, Their silent looks and few words are enough for me to see inside their souls and know what their thinking!
randomshittutorials Well, not everybody can read between the lines.
343i at it again continuing to make cannon fodder out of the Covenant and turning Spartans into Marvel superheros with these ridiculous over the top cinematics... *Sigh*
R.I.P. Halo [2001-2010]
+xKingGhidorahx They literally killed about 10 Covies. And the rest were distracted by the Prometheans as they ran past them. They literally didn't touch 9% of the army.
And Spartans have always been like that. Read the books; they are a team, they are affective, and they are resilient. The Chief ran at 70mph at one point, only ended up tearing his achilles.
+Minor Elite
Did we even watch the same video? I ask because I just watched dozens of Covenant along with several vehicles get effortlessly destroyed by four Spartans in a ludicrous fashion (that is no where near representative of gameplay) all within a one minute time span. Spartans never did this kind of superhero nonsense in any of the previous games (including Halo 4) or pre-2011 books.
This is just 343i turning Halo into something that appeals to a younger crowd of gamers with no attention spans, plain and simple. This game's online population will plummet within the first few weeks just as Halo 4's did, mark my words.
xKingGhidorahx
They ran past 90% of the enemies. The others, we didn't even see them die necessarily. Get shot and flinch, their shields fluctuating? Sure. But we saw _MAYBE_ 5 or 6 actually drop dead.
The vehicles being effortlessly destroyed was very reminiscent of the scarabs. Especially the Halo 2 one where you kill everyone inside, then it cuts away with the *impression* that MC just went insane and tore and shot at everything he could find to destroy it.
Halo Wars displayed Spartan-I action. It wasn't as insane as this, but at the time it was just regular adults with unadvanced armor.
Several game trailers and other things displayed other Spartans like this. The books talked about the Master Chief sprinting at 70mph at one point. He tore his achilles, but sustained no serious injury.
This is the intro cutscene. The first one in the game. It's designed to get you pumped. The rest of the game isn't going to be about mindless violence. They even explicitly stated you would want to take things slow because of all the subtle levels of story present in the game.
Yes, and so has every other post-2010 multiplayer game. It's not 343, it's the players in general. But either way, as fans, we have no reason to care if the population drops. If no-one else wants to play, that's fine, not my problem. Halo 4's and MCC's online is still functional and has enough people on it to be playable, there is no concern.
And frankly? Halo 5's multiplayer is a major step up from 4. And there are still people playing 4 to this day. A small amount, but once again, enough to keep the games full.
It will be played. It will be liked. It's won over a dozen people.
+Minor Elite
I'm not sure how one could watch this cinematic with a level-head and come to the conclusion that only a handful of enemies were killed, but okay. Lets just for a moment say that you're right, and only a handful of Covenant died. Tossing all the other Covenant they touched around like rag-dolls (except for the few Grunts of course) doesn't make these Covenant look any less incompetent then they would if they had all been killed. My original point still stands.
"The vehicles being effortlessly destroyed was very reminiscent of the scarabs."
Go try to take a Scarab from Halo 2 or Halo 3 down on Heroic/Legendary, then comeback to me and explain how it was just as effortless as what was shown in this cinematic. As for what the Chief did to that Scarab in Halo 2, it's a hell of a lot more plausible that he destroyed it's core after killing everyone on-board then going crazy and simply shooting everything inside as you describe.
Elites getting slaughtered by mindlessly charging at three gun-wielding Spartans with sticks on a narrow bridge in Halo Wars doesn't equate to what we see in this cinematic.
There was only one Halo trailer I can recall that was just as ridiculous as this scene. That would be the Gamestop Spartan Locke Armor Set trailer, which also made cannon fodder out of the Covenant and showed off Locke as a Marvel superhero. However, that example really only helps my case.
That part from The Fall of Reach with the Master Chief running that fast in a straight line doesn't equate to soaring through the sky like Buzz Lightyear, running through boulders as if they're nothing, f@!%ing ground pounding for crying out load, and all the other nonsensical BS these Spartans did in this cinematic.
Halo 5 stepping up from Halo 4 in terms of multiplayer isn't much of an achievement. How it compares to the much stronger Halo multiplayer present in the original trilogy is the real question. We'll just have to see what the silent majority of players think after observing what happens to the online player count a few weeks after release.
+xKingGhidorahx To reiterate what's already been said: the Covenant was engaged with the Prometheans; the Spartans snuck into the middle of the fight and took them by surprise. If all ships were converging on the Spartans they'd be in serious trouble.
I like how they just ran past so many elites/grunts and jackals, Master chief would have taken it nice and slow clearing them out one section at a time, not just running past doing over the top ninja shit, RIP Halo 2001-2010. 343 fucked it up.
+Brian Steele Maybe cause they had an objective to get to?
+Brian Steele Yeah, because all those Elites, Grunts and Jackals are enemies, right? NO THEY ARE NOT. If you look closely you'll see Covies fighting Covies, Arbiter's troops fighting M'dama's troops. Technically that's the good CANONICAL representation of Spartans. You talk about all mighty Spartans, capable of the best things and then, you cannot dodge A GRANADE? Mate, are you serious? Bungie did a great job, just like what 343 is doing. Don't blame a change of "employees" as the death of a series. 343 isn't ruining Halo. YOU ARE DOING IT.
Please tell me is that buck from halo odst if it is o snap
+Luis Herrera It is.
+Luis Herrera yes
+Minor Elite omg thank you i so cant wait for this game to come out
+Swapnil Netankar o snap thank you so cant wait for this game to come out
Him and romeo became spartans, rookie dies, dutch and mickey i get the two mixed up one of them retired after rookie died and the other one joined the rebel forces.
The cinematic looked really good and that fight scene was incredibly exciting but, for the same reasons, it doesn't look like it belongs in a Halo game.
Read The Fall of Reach. This is the full extent of the Spartans regarding Halo lore
+Thomas Webb Perhaps even better, because of the technology incorporated into GEN2 armor.
+Thomas Webb People keep saying that but in the book they struggle fightinng elites one on one and the hunters. Here they made it look like there strolling through a park e.g boring.
That's because these are the storm faction who are probably less trained then the arbiters elites. Spartan 4's have much more advanced technology and their augments help fight the elites much easier.
will Speakman Read the Fall of Reach. MC and four of his other spartans take on hundreds of covenant at once. Not only that but the speed at which team Osiris runs at is roughly the exact speed a spartan can run at stated in the book. And the ease at which they kill the covenant in this cinematic and the same ease it takes us on easy or Normal. So no matter which way you look at it everything in this trailer makes sense.
Why exactly is it a bad thing that this is Marvel-like? I'm utterly dumbfounded by the negativity in the comments; I feel like I'm the only one that actually enjoyed watching the Spartans kick ass in beautifully-choreographed style. And no love for mocapped Nathan Fillion? Seriously wtf?
+collin ohlinger I know, I'm just surprised more people aren't stoked to see him in full HD.
+OrchardFilm It's because the other Halo games had a sense of danger, of urgency. This makes everything seem silly and unimportant.
+L Faraone
Its one fucking scene. There will be plenty of danger.
L Faraone I still feel like people are missing the big picture: the Covenant and the Prometheans were busy fighting each other, not the Spartans. The Spartans dropped into the middle of the fight and got the element of surprise. There are plenty of Halo missions where Chief is soloing scores of Covenant by himself; this really isn't that unrealistic.
It's a cool scene it's just not what some fans would call a "Halo" game scene cuz there's no suspense which is kinda what makes halo trailers or scenes unique by that point suspense and endangerment to the main character by an enemy
Sick trailer, insanely good music, and Halo. What more can you ask for? So pumped!!
Thing is Master Chief would be able to do exactly that... BY HIMSELF.
+The Argent Defender truuu
+The Argent Defender and if he would just return, get properly updated, and then go awol, he can go as silent as grey team.
There were three things that made halo, halo, which are sorely missed here, Bungie, Marty O' Donnell and Master Chief.
+Texas - 315 Question, minor?
+Texas - 315 Minor?
+Daniel Forth Have you heard of Destiny? That's what COULD'VE happened to Halo if Bungie hadn't given Halo up.
+blackknightkanos i feel the real culprit in this is Activision.
Most of 343 is confirmed bungie members and bungie gave them the rights master chief is still here this is no different than halo 2 when you got to play as the arbitor so I. Really don't see a problem considering the music is still good Innovation my friend
whaaat?? how did Buck become a Spartan??
+collin ohlinger I still wonder where Romeo was shipped off to though...
+NICK STRIFFER Read Halo: New Blood to find out.
+James Mclean +NICK STRIFFER You don't have to read just go to HaloFollower channel and in their uploads should be something like Buck is a spartan or something like that.
Do whatever you have to do to get the info that is in the books.MrASPGamer
James Mclean Yes whatever to get the information but I think it's easier to watch HaloFollower, but if you really want to know waht really happened, then sure read the book(s).
That looked cool. But Halo is not about looking cool. Halo is about story, immersion, challenge, and emotional connection to the characters. We got that with all Halo games so far. But now, 343 just took Halo and made it something it isn't. I'm gonna miss Master Chief being the main focus. I miss the idea of Halo rings. I'm gonna miss Cortona, and all the other main characters. I'm gonna miss the soundtrack. I'm gonna miss the feel of the game. More explosions, speed, and cartwheels doesn't make a better game. And with a game like Halo, it should always keep its identity. Now it seems...gone.
+Aditya Datta
Not sure if dead-tired or misconceiving. It's "Cortana" not "Cortona" though I can see the issue.
I don't know if you're stupid or something but this is the first 3 minutes of the game not the entire story LMFAO!!
+Mike Elamit I'm going off what 343 did in Halo 4. And this opening is sort of too far. 343 seems to have taken the Halo story and took it too far in a different direction. I mean, they were familiar characters in the E3 opening, so I might be wrong. But from watching this, and having seen what 343 has done, I'm really concerned.
+DezzarTac That was auto correct lol
+Mike Elamite The first impression is always important.
Facial expressions on point
Holy shit 😵 if five Spartans could do that imagine like 50. Best cinematic scene of halo yet 343 have done really good on this I think legends
+dylan j 4 spartans ;)
Thank god I pre-order the limited collector's edition.
+Cortana AI got mine pre-ordered for $185 and getting both controllers
Same and it comes with a lot of cool shit
+haloisawesome7 You're sooo lucky! I cannot afford both controllers... T^T
+Cortana AI KY
I really respect the fact that instead of just using the actors voice, they actually imaged them completely into the game. They aren't just voice over actors anymore they are physically present in the game which changes the dynamic because we recognize them in real life.
This is the best intro to any game ever
I think it would of looked good in an animated movie
+RADReece Gaming Really? because this is super lame.
No its not dude
ehmm that white dude, it's Castle?
+mestido Yes, Nathan Fillion played Castle, as well as playing Buck from Halo 3: ODST.
Minor Elite Ok that's cool, I like him. Thanks.
+mestido I prefer to call him Spartan Mal. If you get what I am talking about then you get a cookie. Yup
+mestido He also played Captain Malcom Reynolds in Firefly and the actor himself is a massive geek for games and comis too which makes him awesome.
+mestido He was also Captain Hammer in Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.
IGN: Too much run n gun 7/10
Visuals and epicness make up for it, especially considering they are a total badass squad of Spartans: 10/10
+CJ's Reports nope i think halo 5 is too nul..... for a 10/10 Halo 5 it's 253647895607765435768549389504378965789678599999999999999999344943358940389038924892058390278960389028956478223833333333333333333333333888888888888888888222222222222222222222000000000000000000000111111111111111113333333333333344444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666444444444444444444444444444444444444444444/10
I like it. but I wanted it to be blue team
Buck was pretty much the only reason I cared about Team Osiris.
Why must all spartans be Unmasked now? three words, Call of Duty. I love that Bro-ish confidence the characters have (sarcasm). There's literally zero tension in this trailer, They're Like, All in a days work, You buying the beers later? seriously?
+Daniel Forth 'Tis the life of a Spartan-IV. They haven't had to suffer as much as a II or III.
As for unmasking, it's mainly to get more personal with the characters - they _are_ humans, after all.
monkay breadstick
Exactly, and that's another example of the mirroring presented in Halo 5, the differences between the teams, and all.
Unmasked characters = Call of Duty?
+monkay breadstick Plenty sources suggest otherwise on the sociopath disposition. It's really just a case by case situation.
+monkay breadstick This is it baby....hold me!
Am I just getting old, or does this not feel anything like a Halo game. Bring back 2003 please :'(
+vIDarkStarIv You're just getting old, evidently.
+vIDarkStarIv No, I agree with you man. They ruined it. And everybody whining, "NO WAAA! It's like the books! You have to read da bookz!" The Fall of reach came out *BEFORE* Halo 1 was even released, and you most certainly didn't have to read any books for Halo reach - 3 to get it and understand that it is a Halo game. You shouldn't have to read the books, nor should a company use the books as a basis of THEIR stories... That just makes shit writing (if you even want to call it that.) If anything the books should be classified under fanfics.
+vIDarkStarIv 2003? You mean back when all you had was Halo CE? Surely you mean 2004...
+vinducas ¿You have played any Star Wars game? All of his games are related tothe comics.
I'd be lying if I said this wasn't badass.
been watching it multiple times and still get the chill!!! it's so awesome!!! what's wrong with you people??
+syarifah hanyna I know! people complaining and stuff and I'm over here squealing like a teen girl. when i first watched this on the projector at my house i almost cried its so awesome
WHERE IS THE HALO THEME? You don't make a Mario game without the theme or a Star Wars movie without the theme. This the most generic "action movie/game" music ever
+Mack Sima The Halo theme is present. But not in this cutscene.
+Minor Elite how do you know that? No really how. Nothing they've should U.S. has the theme. Why would you not put the theme in there for the big reveal?
+Minor Elite so what you're saying is the Halo theme isn't there...
Halo 4 never had the halo theme dude I am calling it, halo 5 wont have the theme
Mack Sima
Watch the above video link. Literally the first second of it is the Halo theme.
Also, Halo 4 did have the Halo theme; it was present for about 30 seconds, when there was a _HALO_ on screen.
If the Spartans are this OP now. Then how is there even a war?
+Goatie89 Spartans were always kinda this OP in the EU. The games just never did them justice.
But to answer your question;
1) Even the S-IVs are still in limited numbers and
2) The entire point of the new trilogy is that after the war, humanity became one of the biggest powers in the galaxy. Big enough that the Forerunners themselves are among the few genuine threats to them.
+TheJasperger God dammit dude, they were never OP in the extended universe, give me examples. I can tell you Master Chief couldn't fight a solo Elite in First Strike. Taking down horde's of grunts with land mines is nothing, so don't give me that example.
IN THE STORY, Earth gets hit by
1) the Covenant attacks by Regret's fleet and the entire Covenant Armada after that
2) The composer
3) the Forerunner Retrievers from Hunters in the dark.
Humanity is on the ropes now, I prefer it if people saw them that way.
*****
Might I point out that these S-IVs have much better armor and equipment than the S-IIs ever had? And that these new Covenant might not be as well equipped and trained as the old one? They're specifically established to use outdated equipment.
And yes, Spartans were always a lot stronger in the EU than in the games, which honestly never did them justice.
Now for your examples:
1) That happened DURING the war, humanity was still weaker back then.
2) Exactly my point, it was a FORERUNNER WARSHIP. The Didacts flagship even. Not even High Charity could have protected itself against that.
3) Those were thousands upon thousands of FORERUNNER Sentinels.
So again, the only legitimate threat to humanity right now is the Forerunners. Why? Because 1) Humanity advanced greatly after the war, including reverse engineering Forerunner and covvie tech. 2) The Covenant is only a shadow of its former self and 3) the Flood is gone, for now.
Or have you forgotten how in Spartan Ops, the Infinity destroys an entire covvie fleet by herself?
Lol at the Spartans putting on football helmets
To everyone complaining about the Spartans being OP: This fits pretty well canonically. What with the advancements made due to discoveries in places like Trevelyan, it's no wonder the Spartans are so much more mobile and lethal. Plus, it's been years since those things were discovered. Gear has probably been refined.
Red vs Blue seasons 9 and 10 anyone?
What the hell is up with so many people bitching about this trailer and assuming that Halo 5 will fail? If any of you irrelevant complainers read the novels and had any comprehensive ability, you'd know that Spartan IIs and Spartan IVs are able to do what Fire team Osiris just did. This is what they were MADE to do. This game is not a CoD clone. In fact it was CoD that copied the mobility and futuristic tech and abilities that the Spartans could do in the first place. Get your head out of the shit storm that is "Halo is dead", "343 is milking Halo to become CoD", and "This isn't what Halo is supposed to be". Seriously, if you guys complain so much about it, why don't you work on Halo games and do something about it then? Crazy ass people.
By the way, this trailer was awesome and very entertaining! This is what I expected Spartan were able to do to their fullest capacity as from reading about it from the books and how they pull off the most insane stunts without hesitation.
TEEN Rating?
Nuff said right there. Halo is over.
+Randy'sGreatestHits ESRB is changine what defines an M game not halo itself, maybe you should educate your self.
+MYTHICALTWINKIE lmao people here get so defensive over this it's hilarious.
+Randy'sGreatestHits halo is life bro of course people are in their feelings
+Yah Biish Forges
I guess so.
+Randy'sGreatestHits Halo wasn't even supposed to be an M rated game anyways. The only reason why is just probably because of the flood and that's it. From Halo reach all the way to Halo 4, it should have been just T if you think about it.
I like the fact that this shows a more realistic flare to the halo combat. Like how the combat is very chaotic as you can see a wraith just tumbling. Very cool cinematic.
Laaame. They keep beating dead horse.
+Ers Static Halo hasn't changed much at all. A few perks to use but still the same shit primary weapons. Everyone uses the battle rifle and a plasma pistol to lolnope any vehicle.
***** oh, please lamebox crazy fanboy, watch your tongue while among gentlemen
***** that was your experience with your father? Oh god... you should call police, that's abnormal.
+Hokunin Painter You know what they say... if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
well said
What happened to Halo? This is more like Power Rangers.
bored now.

Remember when 343 made Halo 4 like Call of Duty? Remember when 343 pretended like everything was alright with the broken, unplayable Master Chief Collection? Remember when 343 made Halo 5 rated T, added a bunch of characters that no one is interested in at all, made multi-player even less like Halo, realeased this ridiculously over the top, uninteresting trialer and continued to shit all over the Halo franchise that we all grew up with? Yeah, me too...
+EvilPhoenix 007 My previous comment is not even primarily about the T rating. It is about my total lack of faith in 343 and their butchery of my favorite video game series.
+EvilPhoenix 007 Bro, did you not even read my first comment? I honestly enjoyed Halo 4 but that loadout/ordinance shit was gay, then when 343 sold me an incomplete game I got pissed, the Halo 5 beta sucked and all of the previews look more like 343 garbage, so there you go...I don't trust them to make a good Halo game
+Cory Davis I'm so happy you're upset. Seeing wannabe Halo fans get angry is my favorite thing. I hope you're suffering more than I think you are.
First. It's not a trailer. Second. Everything changes, games, characters, stories. Although Chief will always be badass, it'd be boring if the game just focused on him. It's 2015, not 2001 anymore you old fart.
+Cory Davis Just a suggestion: If you want to try to use someone's age as an insult, don't make the rest of your post sound even more like something that a kid that age would say than the post you were responding to in the first place.
so buzzed finally uses this channel after a year
This looks epic and badass. People are saying they want "believibility" and hate how unrealistic these SPARTANs are. You are playing a VIDEO GAME that takes place in the future with aliens, AIs, and superhuman soldiers. Where the hell is the credibility in that!? Grow a pair and appreciate the game, don't go nitpicking it to death. No body objected when Chief fell from orbit and was up kicking ass only a few minutes later! So back off and let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.
Lol, a Halo jump, get it...? So...from what this whole pre-rendered (Awfull CGI) cutscene shows us....the game's default dificulty is now what...easy? I mean...some say, fireteam Osiris is still moving up and shooting. I wonder if when they finally stop, some 30 km's ahead, they migth realize they passed trough the objective. Anyway, what i'm trying to say here is, normally, a tactical insertion like a Halo jump, is designed to get the operatives exactly where they need to be, with pin point accuracy, so they can secure that area, do what they need to do, and then exfiltrate. I'd imagine that in 500 years from now, these tactics would just become more perfected. What's the point of a shooter where you feel like a goddamn tank, with no danger of dying or loosing, like this seems to show?
+DardoUltimate "Awful CGI". Well, that's what I'd expect from a cutscene that wasn't CGI.
+DardoUltimate In Halo 3 masterchief fell from fucking orbit and hit the ground, then he got back up. Shut up
Goodbye Childhood friend, it was nice knowing you. But seriously, the multiplayer is now some fast-paced COD wannabe and the rating was dropped. The new Destiny expansion looks more appealing. I'll watch campaign gameplay to see how much 343i demonizes the Chief.
+Nerex Wow you just did that ok here i go!
Halo5's MP has to unique types of game types one being, ARENA, arena is a fast paced evenly matched 4v4 or 5v5 death match to who ever gets the most amount of points wins by killing enemy players using power weapons layed across the map and map control, Map control is mostly used for strategy by PRO players to control certain key areas of the map to dominate the enemy team. Halo5 Arena does NOT have perks, ordnance, loadouts, ADS, ect. Halo5 arena is literally shaped by pros such as Flame Sword for example. TO say halo5's MP is like COD when halo invented competitive console play is liking saying a scooter is fast then a Lamborghini.
Warzone. Warzone is a new gametype that is created by 343i and has been worked on since 2012. Warzone is implementing PVE story like bosses that are not just bullet sponges (DESTINY) but can attack and call in backup from enmey AI, each boss is actually tied deep into the lore and even has specific history about where their from and what their abilities are, these bosses pop up randomly around the map. Warzones map's are the largest in the series some up to 4 times larger then any halo map Campaign or MP in history. These maps have specific read and blue bases which you must capture by killing formidable enemy AI. Their are neutral bases around the map that you can capture and even unlock ertain buildings which allow you to use vehicles their.
Destiny TTK is an overly priced DLC, Bungie lied about almost everything in that game and is clearly for blind casuals that keep playing only to get screwed in the *ss.
Halo5's campaign is already confirmed to be the longest and darkest story in the series and will have huge open battles with more AI and mechanics then in previous games, the graphics have been greatly improved and polished, NOTE: halo5 E3 demo was a one year old build of the game imagine what it looks like now. Demonize chief? The old covenant used to call spartan demons yes but now the SWORDS OF SANGHELIOS train with spartans and see where to improve. The storm faction is only a remnant of the the original covenant and is close to defeat. Halo5 is also the 2nd most pre orderd game and is already getting called one of the GREATS aka 1,2, and 3.
If you start talking about stuff you clearly dont know your gonna get your *ss handed to you. Im guessing you probably 12 and just go with the crowd even when their wrong, aw so young but so blind, maybe some day you'll actually bother to search up information and not just repeat because you saw or heard it on youtube,
like i said though dont talk sh*t if you have no idea what you talking about ;)
I grew up with Bungie's games (Marathon and Halo) , and I'll actually say sorry, as I haven't heard of Warzone yet (sounds pretty cool). though I will disagree with ya on TTK. The new boss mechanics seem pretty cool (like two mini-bosses whose shields go down only when they are right next to each other.
+Nerex destiny is gay
+Nerex Sorry but as much as I used to respect Bungie in the past, Destiny is a joke, they got 500 millions buck to make a generic Halo MMO without a significant story... ewww, I mean with that ton of money, many devellopers would have made something better than this pure garbage. Destiny is a shame.
+GoldGollum
just putting this out there, but that 500 million commitiment is to the game for teh next decade, it was NOT what was used on destiny 1, furthermore, it's already been leaked, that storyline wise, destiny was vastly different a year before release(and possible good) but activision shits on anything they touch...so yea, destiny turned to crap, and bungie let it happen.
The music for this trailer is epic.
Isnt there suppose to be a rule where like: You cant just run into battle and kill whoever tf you want when two armies are fighting LOL! like they just basically 4v9000 outta no where xD some covenant just got off the ship and just got wiped out LMAO ayeee xD
Is it just me or does this trailer remind anyone of the avengersXD to me it does
+Armando miller its a cutscene not a trailer.
+MYTHICALTWINKIE well doesn't this cutscenes remind you of the avengers
+Armando miller I've watched the avengers trailer, reminds me nothing like it.
It does, the opening scene haha. You can search up a video with this and the audio from the opening in Age of Ultron.
You mean that it's so over the top and awesome like the Avengers? In that case, yes, it does remind me of the Avengers. :3
I prefer the live action trailers ,made with real props and actors ,it made me want to play the game more. This just seems lazy and cartoony.
Umm not a trailer.. It's the first cinematic of the game.. Their might be a live action trailer soon. Since all halo games have seem to have one.. So don't get your hopes up yet..
+Nathan Tabain Read the description Einstein ,this is a trailer and don't you mean "Don't give up your hopes yet"? ...If you gonna reply with the idea of correcting someone at least put some thought into it m8.
they released a couple of traditional live action trailers a while ago, and this is the opening cinematic to the game so your argument is completely invalid.
FU
Great reply thanks!
an amazing and actually realistic to the halo lore cinematic, the reason why I loved spartans. This video showing them dominate is proof of how powerful the spartans and how feared they were.
I'm sure that matchmaking will be shit again
It's 343i, of course.
+kepoman_94
Dude, have you seen matchmaking! LOOKS FUCKING AMAAAAAAAZING!!!!
+BrassProphet
Lol, are you actually commenting on every comment chain!? Get a life troll.
Again?
Good troll attempt tho
Eh, absolute trash. No sense of danger, no sense of urgency, nothing. Just a couple of buds foot sledding down a hill, slaughtering entire battalions of advanced, alien life forms, whilst some how disarming, and destroying an entire armada of space craft. 'Cause MAH CoD
***** Boy, seems realistic.. Yeah, if there are more than one enemy, they won't engage one, whilst annoying another. Jesus Christ, you people will defend a shitty dev group until the death.
***** Trust me, I stopped actually enjoying the games at Reach. How is how an enemy would react to a different foe on the battlefield unacceptable?
First off, this a group of highly trained SPARTAN-IV's all hand picked to hunt down Master Chief and Blue Team. Second off, when you are fighting one enemy and some other enemy seemingly appears out of thin air behind you, where the rest of your team was just alive five seconds ago, and jumps on your back you are not going to immediately think "Argh an enemy! Quickly, throw them off of my back and kill them!" no you are going to be like "Hey Terry stop fucking around we are in a warzone!". And lastly they only killed what was directly in front of them, they didn't destroy any spaceships, and they didn't just start mowing down hordes of enemies, they killed what they needed to in order to make it to their objective in one piece.
+LazyFaux5656 Dude, come on, have you ever read the novels about the Halo Universe? At least the essentials? Don't come criticizing if you don't know what you're talking about. Look:
Spartans are trained since childhood in order to minimize the impact of those senses of danger and urgency. The UNSC usually recruits children that went through a lot of negative experiences during their childhood so they won't experience a bigger emotional impact. They use chemicals to make them taller, stronger, faster and a lot smarter than any marine, meaning that they would have around 10 times faster reflexes than a normal person. They can endure for weeks without eating or sleeping. Some of them even know about electronics. Also, they are all used to being at their limits during any fight.
I must say I'm not disappointed by this scene since it retrieves a lot from the Masterchief's experience from the first 3 games of the Halo saga. But, well you could tell -by the context of this scene- it seems like 343 industries gave these characters some whole new devices and abilities of massive destruction in order to make them more overpowered than they were already, which is an improvement in comparison to any of the previous games. But well, you know it's their game so they can make anything happen and screw logic :P
+LazyFaux5656 The UNSC surpassed the Covenant in technology by Halo 4
343 has yet to make a game that was not broken, trash. 343 has killed, cut, and ruined everything that I ever loved about Halo. The custom games, and the community from earlier Halos is all but killed completely. Split screen and fun with family and friends, the biggest and the most important part of Halo is completely removed, they say to free up space for graphics. The online gameplay that was renowned as being the best of it's and any other genre has been changed, watered down, and perverted, into a COD copy. This is not Halo, this is a completely different, and worse game made by worse people, cashing in on the amazing prestige and recognition of the Halo name. They have taken a game that was in almost every way perfect, and turned it into something unrecognizable, and a disappointment to anyone who respected the original developers and game. Microsoft and 343 take advantage of loyal fans that buy their games, because fabs are hoping and wishing that maybe the next Halo will be like it was, that maybe, just maybe, they can pull it all around. The fact is Bungie finished their game, they finished Halo, this is Microsoft desperately trying to cash in and get as much money as they can, beating the horse, and then when Bungie decided that they would not destroy their game anymore, Microsoft built a new company that would. I'm sorry, but now when I look at Halo all I can think of is all the fun I use to have with friends and how this will never live up to what it was. Microsoft will pay 343 to make Halo games until people stop buying them, it will eventually become a yearly release COD style copy past job, there is no love left in this game, it is just a disappointment.
Oh, shut up. Either accept the fact that this is what Halo is now, or leave it altogether. The true Halo fans wouldn't mind one bit.
I have left it altogether, and True Halo fans would not play a COD copy with a Halo title. Sorry these are facts, I don't expect people to be happy about it, Fanboys especially.
Well, we are happy with it, wether you agree with it or not. True Halo fans accept change, and dont get held back by nostalgia.
We need to move on, dude. We can't copy+paste Halo 2 anymore. That's just lazy.
What ever you say man, if you are fine with a COD yearly release clone which is were this game is going now, then have at it. But it is not Halo, and it is not a good game, just because a trash developer throws Halo in the title. However a fanboy like yourself would not criticize a Halo game even if it came with a mandatory rectal exam. Because it is Halo, therefor it is good. Sad really, if you care about your games, you should fight for them, not bend over and and take it. Remember when Halo was the main MLG game? yea that has not been a thing in a long time because it is not a good game anymore. Remember all the awards it has won? you probably don't becasue 343 has not gotten any awards for any of its games, and the last time any Halo game received an award or even a nomination was Halo 3. So tell me this is improving, tell me that it is a better game. The fans said they wanted a reskin of the games they loved. 343 answered, and decided to give them exactly what they wanted. All they had to do was update the graphics and put out a game that worked, but they could not do that. People wanted the games to play the same as they did, 343 changed how the games played, one of the most important being the melee system. You can fanboy all you want, but don't stand there and say Halo is better for it. Looks at the facts, and fight for the game. If you want this game to go to shit, then fine, but don't pretend that what is happening is good.
lol, saying a game is better than Halo 4 and Reach is hardly a complement. Every game is better than 4 and Reach. Also, if you read what I said, I said that it is heading towards a yearly release like COD. Plus these "facts" you are pulling out of your ass that 343 has done all these things, and is so great, and that they listen is full of shit. Also I never said I wanted all Halos to be a Halo 2 reskin. I personally like 3 over 2. However I want Halo, to be Halo. This is not a Halo game. If you look at what people are actually saying, and not threw your fanboy ears, you will notice that most people say that the game looks like it could be good, however they specifically say it is NOT HALO. If 343 made their own game, they might make a game that is not half bad, however they are trying to do two things at once. they want to make their own game, but they want to make Halo. They need to let Halo be what it was, and make their own thing. Halo was done with 3. On the back of the game it says "The exciting conclusion to the Halo trilogy." 343 needs to make their own arena shooter, with spring, and gun kick, and all the other crap they have put in. and if they did that i would have no problem. but it is not halo, they are trying to cash in on the halo name, because they are afraid to try and stand on their own work.
Still watching, love it...
this is what xbots are excited for? really?
+jalankia It's one cinematic of a game. It is in no way the right representation. Noentheless, it is fantastic eye candy, not even the most professional and mature can doubt that.
+Minor Elite I wouldn't bother responding to someone who refers to console owners as "xbots" Lol
+Evening Commenter I'll prove your point, bitch
do you have too many chromosomes?
Alex W I got more than you, bitch
Directed by Michael Bay... Seriously what a joke. Halo used to be a respected franchise. And LOL at the Spartans, middle aged and out of shape looking, it looks like they picked up a bunch of retired TV commercial actors and put them in battle armor.
+STDrepository hahahah yes. 'directed my michael bay', my thoughts exactly. it might sound cliché but none of these kids understand what's missing from 343's 'halo'.
Hahah exactly! Micheal bay has already done enough damage to our childhood dreams so far! Thanks 3.43!
+STDrepository Not even battle armor, Bionicle looking armor.
+Ers Static dumbass again?? reminds me of 343's writing.
as for the rest of this comment, more baseless tripe. I was there day 1 for halo 2 and halo 3. halo CE I first played a month after release.
***** What are you even saying right now? Lets try to use common sense next time ok?
ponies gonna b salty!!
+Mista zOgs They've been salty. lol...
+Zurg Goide
Playstation is by far the most popular console brand globally and -> PS is more popular than Xbox on Neogaf. OMG, shocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (That has to be the case on every single multiplatform forum and community, and certainly so outside the US.)
(And btw, I like Halo and I'm going to get XB1 eventually.)
Zurg Goide
Keep trolling.

Don't we have the option to block delusional/annoying people comments if we're the comment starter? you should try that. unless they removed it.
+Mista zOgs lol that's your opinions and all the ponies whatever u call them lol that's silly don't give a dam about halo btw I have both consol
It's the way the Spartans were in the books translated into video game form, I'm loving the way this trailer looks
What is this the Avengers or something this looks so silly, Spartans are super soldiers but this is so over the top that it's stupid.
+Ａｏｒｉ
This is actually not too far off book descriptions of S2 abilities if you've read them. They're just trying to hammer home that Osiris is on par with Blue team.
They're super soldiers but the actions super soldiers would do is somehow over the top?
pass, i think ill stick to 40k books and Halo cane stay in game form. Infact im glad its still xbox only. only played Halo1 due to that shit. was not goin to upgrade to a new OS in vista just to play fucking Halo 2 then onnly to get shafted when Halo 3 ODST etc were all also XBOX only.
goldenstalionMCOM I read the books, I know the kind of shit they do but this just looks like some over the top Hollywood action movie and is nothing like Halo. It's like some shitty CoD Trailer with them doing rediclious shit to hype you up to not even be able to do that in-game.
l l l l l
>Halo books are not like Halo
ok.
This is bullshit. I want the story to be centered around *Arbiter* and *Chief*. Like in Halo 2 and 3 Covenant invasion of Earth, where they finally become buddies and their dogged resistance assisted the overall effort at slowing down the Covenant advance.
Im sorry this looks absolutely ridiculous and doesnt seem like halo what so ever. Only thing the does obviously is the look of all the characters. Thanks 343 for making another CoD.
+BangThatGong Halo came first. COD's new future aesthetic came second. So that kinda devalidates your argument here.
hmm Bungie makes a trailer like this and its a masterpiece? But since it's 343i then we should bash? Wtf man. This game is fun as hell. Don't go around saying this isn't halo because it is! If you want that tactical feeling play arena. The rest of us will enjoy this game
+BangThatGong I get your concerns about it being "not halo," but how does this relate to CoD in any way?
Love the music that goes with this cinematic
