There is one thing no one has pointed out yet. In 1:27, when the pelicans are coming down from the cruiser, there's a really odd thing in the background; it looks like a claw somehow. But it's on the far side of the planet/halo. It looks giantic. Planet sized. I cant start to imagine what this could be. Then, in 1:29, after the explosion of the pelican, you see a strange pattern in the ground (wich is, aparently, being bombed by the covenant). Circles and lines. Its like the parttern the halos have in their outside metal area.
Well that's what I've noticed and havent been brought out yet.
There's some stuff that people posted before that's wrong. Like the one who said you could see other spartans. Completely fake. They are marines, not spartans. The ones in the mongose. Just with a diferent type of armor. Also, another dude said that you were able to see the motes that indicate flood atmosphere at the end of the trailer (when the MC is standin alone by a "control panel"). Thats a lie. You dont see any of this.
Well, here are some observations of mine that wont hurt to mention:
1-The voice in the very beginig sounds like a Brute to me. A new chieftain maybe. Im not entirely sure of course, but it sounds a lot more like a brute than like a prophet. Or gravemind.
2-To anyone who is still thinkin that the thing on the back of the brute in the beginin is a brute-sniper, i tell you, its a hammer. a melee weapon. somehow in replacement of the elites energy sword.
3-The marine who tries to punch that brute bastard in the beginin LOOKS LIKE JHONSON! A LOT. For my own sake i hope im wrong. But he looks like him. I wont like it if he dies.
4-The covenant ships burning the surface are, to me, like the one in Halo 1, Truth and Reconciliation. Not a new type. Just, slightly modified.
5-Phantoms have openings at their sides now. And repositioned plasma cannons.
7-Theres a level where you fight inside some company's (Traxus) hangar/storage room/aisles, where the workers (civilian) fight against the brutes. My guess is that it might be one of the elevator-that-goes-to-outer-space station. Cause there's a lot of containers. Or maybe its just a docking facility. But then again, the covenant showed interest in these elevator-that-goes-to-outer-space stations in Ghosts Of Onyx. So i think it IS one of those stations.
8-Yes, i think brutes have shields now. Weaker, maybe, than the elites'. In the brutes Vidoc you get that same idea. So, i guess im just confirming it.
9-I dont know why the longsword fighters fly toward the ark. But its an interesting note.
10-The dang brutes use jetpacks now. And equipement too. (i dont know what to say about this "flashbang" speculation a guy mentioned before)
11-Truth's ship landed safetly on Earth. Its shown as background.
12-The fuel rod cannon looks a bit different. More like the Halo 1 model.
13-The Wraith has a mini plas turret now, instead of the two plasma guns it had in Halo 2.
14-The hunter pair shown in the vid is taken out by a human rocket. But we're not certain if a human fired it though. So we'er not entirely sure whos side are they. I like killing hunters. So, i'd like them as my enemies. Although there's a theory that caught my attention. One that mentioned the hunters paying respect to the elites, not to the covenant. See tammin of the hunters
15-You can break a hunters spines! :) with a rocket.
16-Drones are strong enought to lift a human. Maybe they got smarter too. If so, that will be a pain in the ass.
17-I didnt see the lock-on feature in the rocket launcher when the Chief shot a grunt ridin a ghost. Thats bad.
18-Miranda Keyes seems to be in a Halo. Or maybe the Ark (Beacuse of the architecture and the holograms shown in the back). And thats a Pelican we see there ok? not anything else, a PELICAN. And she's not all by herself. You can see a marine's legs between the brute-on-the-left-side-of-the-screen legs when she dramaticaly turns to point two brutes with pistol and shotgun. Maybe she's trying to stop them from activating something. Or maybe shes just trying to stop them from killin her. :( She looks hot now by the way.
19-The longsword is shot down by a "plasma laser gun". Wich are, to me, the 10 meter high covenant guns.
20-The unknown aircraft shown in the lower left corner at 1:04 kinda looks like the UNSC sparrowhak concept from the Halo Wars page. I looks like it, but i kinda doubt that it is it actucally. Just to give an idea of what could that thing be.
21-I don know what to think about the scene where Cortana falls to her knees. There on a covenant ship, or High Charity maybe. Guarded by at least one Elite. But i dont think she dies there. I think shes just overloaded with information and she gets struck by somethin virtual....or maybe she's uploaded to a system (not necesary the ships system) too complex for her and the wealth of information just knocks her out of her senses.....oh man, this part is exciting. We also see 343 GS with the Arbiter and the MC. Maybe, they realized that nothing can be done against the flood and they decide to activate the halos via the Ark, wich might be why 343 GS is there. To guide them trough. Or maybe not. I dont belive 343 is doing any damage to her, cause the MC wouldn let him. Unless, shes gone rampant. oh man. I better leave all of this to find out after september 25.
22-Human vessels have improved exponetialy, since it is said in the books that they arent desinged to operate in atmosphere. But i just love to see how it looks like when a MAC round is fired.
23-Why does the Arbiter growls at the edge of the ridge?
24-There's a hologram of a prophet, more likely Truth. Its wearing a diferent headress, but i think it is still Truth. Although, there's a posibility that its just a minor pophet in charge of the operation in discuss.
25-There is a chained explosion in 1:18, to wich i cant find an explanation. Maybe there were covenant fusion cores nearby.
26-In 1:23, the Chief is in a pelican (with the sergeant Jhonson) and arives at a Halo. Maybe Delta Halo. He could be there in a rescuing mission. Just like he did with his fellow spartans at Reach. He could even be rescuing Cortana as well. In the vid, theres a huge wall in the Halo surface. My best guess is that it is a containment zone limit. Just like that level in Halo 2 when you play as the Arbiter. I cant re-call te name of the level. Oh and the pelican is diferent than the ones before. Theres a lone pilot seat in front. Maybe its just a variation of the pelican dropship.
27-In 1:27, again, there's one pelican shot down by Seraph fightres. The dropships are coming out (i think) of the covenant cruiser and headin toward the surface.
28-There is another kind of Scarab. More hybrid in my opinion. Wich is comanded by brutes and has a thing in the back that can be destructed, (seen in 1:43) as is shown by the Chief (in 1:45).
29-The Chief threats the Arbiter with a gun. Maybe the Arbiter said something to piss him off, maybe he insulted his authority infront of the marines by disagreeing with his tactics or stuff. Well, thats what i think.
30-The Arbiter IS holding a Covenant Chaingun. Its shown when he's on the new Scarab firing at a gold armored brute.
31-The Alien Cruisers take away from the Ark and a pelican flies away from them. And they take away for an unknown reason, not because the ark is firing. The ark has a rare aura in thar scene.
32-Finally, the Chief is all by himself, probably regretin. Or lamenting. Or just thinkin about what he's about to do. And this peculiar scene makes me conjeture my theory that the chief is the one who activates the Ark, as he did before, 101,(something, something, something) years ago. That was one of my first rampant theories, that it was the chief who activated the ring before, due to the time disorder the crystal generated, he migh have traveled in time, or stuff. Think about it. Its a poorly based theory but i strongly belive its posible. haha
Well, i hope all this helped you clear some things in your head. Message me if you have any observations or questions about what i just wrote.
Peace out Halo fans.
