I played Halo 3, but never really got into the games. Forward unto Dawn was pretty good.

Damn good stuff. Also 5 part halo series directed by Ridley Scott coming out. Hope you played the Destiny beta. It was like Halo+sky rim+mass effect

I watched it with my sons. It was decent for a low budget action film. I would really like to see that trailer for ODST become a full length movie. I have never even played the games, lol.

I heard there is a TV series coming soon with Spielberg at the helm as well.



I actually love the Halo story and universe. If I had any intention of owning an Xbone anytime soon I'd have the next game pre-ordered already.

Yeah, the ODST trailer was amazing. That song [in whatever language] was perfect for the tone.

The cloaked Elite was impressive. And awesome.The way they played almost monster-movie with it and kept most of the shots of it obscured or fleeting really worked well.

I played the shit out of Halo 1/2/3 and played ODST. Thought ODST could have been better. My Xbox broke years ago and never really played them since.

They have RedvsBlue on Netflix and I watched a few the other night and got me geared up to watch this one. And I was told surprised how much better it turned out to be then I thought it would be.

Yeah I totally agree that's what impressed me the most. I wasn't even expecting to see any of the covenant or an Elite to boot.

My buddy was on leave and was over, a Staff Sgt. And he got all into it

I've never played Halo once. Saw Forward unto Dawn, and enjoyed it.

You don't need to spend a billion dollars to tell a story, even a sic-fi story.

Every few months I end up on YouTube watching all the Halo mini movies and trailers. Love that stuff. I bet they could make one awesome movie BUT you know they wouldn't make it out of any of the games or books already done.

No, it was used as a way to introduce Lawsky as a character for the game, Halo 4. This is the only movie.

microsoft will not let anyone make a movie

they wanted some insane amount of money to do it and hollywood balked.

it was really screwey how much microsoft wanted.

what was rumored was they would not finance it, or help and wanted all of the profit. or something around those lines

Here's the overview and trailer. Might turn out to be shit, I'm not getting the reverent vibe Forward Unto Dawn and the live action stuff from years ago had. I almost get a last ship vibe from this http://www.cnet.com/news/ridley-scotts-live-action-halo-nightfall-trailer-lands-at-comic-con/

Looks like shit.

Give that budget to the folks who made the ODDT trailer, and you would have a masterpiece. Give it to a Hollywood circle-jerkist, and you get crap.

It was ok, I'm a fan of the Halo series but not a huge one.


Have them all except 4, borrowed it. Didn't care for it.

I like Reach the best for some reason.

The live action trailers for Reach were pretty good as well, particularly the pre-invasion one with the civilian families. I thought it was a movie trailer first time I saw it.

edit found it:
