Awesome trailer … shame that HALO gameplay always devolves into a bunch or silly jumping around with no real tactical component.

I pre-ordered it simply for the multiplayer maps it comes with for Halo 3, I could care less about the game itself.

Waaaaaay too much steady cam and blurriness.
If you're gonna go all out, don't cop out on effects by using split second shots. |

They already had 6 months of pre-production on the Halo Movie before it was canned.

That 2 minute commercial is closer to being the "Starship Troopers" movie than the actual "Starship Troopers" movie.

Saw it on TV last night and was blown away.
This makes it even more amazing (from Wiki): Among the promotional material released for the game was a live-action trailer posted to the internet on September 4.[54] The short was created by advertising agency TAG SF, with props by Legacy Effects and effects by Asylum. The short was directed by production company MJZ, who also handled the award-winning Halo 3 "Believe" advertisement. Legacy designed and fabricated weapons, armor, and an alien costume within two weeks. The production then filmed scenes in a Hungarian strip mine for three days; the actors featured were a mixture of ex-military and special operations soldiers. If true (hey, it's Wikipedia), that's astounding - creating all of the props in two weeks and then shooting for only three days. |

Hopefully Uwe Boll is not involved if they do make it into a movie. I Netflixed In The Name Of The King a while back and it was complete garbage. That man screws up every videogame movie he touches.

Absolutely badass. Too bad that the original HALO movie got scrapped; after seeing the Diablo 3 trailer a while back, I thought Blizzard should just make a damned movie already and be done with it (live-action Warcraft doesn't count).

Nathan Fillion, aka Mal Reynolds from Firefly does the voice over and lends his likeness to Gunny Buck in the game..Adam Baldwin is Dutch and number 6 from BSG, Tricia Helfer is Dare...the spook in charge of the mission..Alan Tudyk is rumored to be in it too..

The Halo Wars trailer was way better... THAT is what the movie needs to be if it ever is made!
The Halo 3 live-action short films were excellent as well. To be honest, this ODST trailer was weak compared to the previous videos I just menioned. That being said, I will be getting ODST and look forward to fire fight more than anything in the game! Oly Oly Oxen Free!!

The Halo franchise may have been over-hyped, but the reason for it's popularity is the amount of entertainment had in playing it. Period.
No game is so successful merely because of marketing if it is without legitimate merit in the fun department. |

The story and technical execution are fantastic, but if you worked on any of them, you know that MSoft pressured Bungie into expanding the play length of the first game significantly, which led to a lot of the repetition. Fight your way IN... MacGuffin... Fight your way back OUT along the exact reverse of the previous path... Repeat for Forerunner artifact, Covenant ship, Forerunner artifact, Covenant ship, Forerunner base, Halo surface battlefield, Covenant ship, etc. It was lazy level development partially masked by very sharp technical skills. Basically, Halo could have benefited from an editor the same way Ayn Rand needed one. |

I'd like to also point out that MS pushed Bungie to finish the original Halo waaaaay ahead of schedule, so it could be a launch title for the Xbox. There is a lot of stuff in the game files that you'll never see unless you do some hacking. And a lot of that stuff is probably there because Bungie wanted it to be part of the story. The original trailers for Halo still make me think it could have been a lot better. 1999 E3 2000 |

Halo is a failed RTS that gets recreated into a FPS while ripping off the ring world series of books \ thrown in a little bit of aliens (Sargent Johnson \ drop ships \ most of the weapons \ ect) and you have Halo.
All of this drama = mediocre games with ok multiplayer and a big marketing engine behind them to push them out. There is no new game play, nothing of real substance. Of course when you get a franchise as big as halo making changes in gameplay is a matter of iteration and not evolution because it pisses off the mouth breathers. How much do you think that video you just watched cost MS? That was not done in house. MS Expects returns on their investments, and that means less money spent on real game development. Sorry to piss in your cool aid but those are the facts. |

Arfcom needs a movie about Arfcommers and SHTF where the worlds turned on america and all the Arfcommers kill over 1000 men each, and then they all die a valient death with each their own respective AR build.
Kinda like 300 but in modern form with Arfcommers. |
