Remember the Halo 3 Trailers?The kids in the grass, MC being held up by a brute revealing a plasma, and all that stuff that never came close to actually happening in the game?

Remember Halo 2? All the hype of defending Earth and stuff and that lasted all of five minutes?

Remember when Halo Wars was sopose to about the battle of Harvest and we were on Harvest for like 3 of the 15 levels?

Halo trailers don't necessarily mean anything...remember that.

Admittedly, trailers that Bungie doesn't use the in-game engine for often lie, yes.

But trailers are known to show the beginning of a game, since you don't want people to know the end of the game going in.

I'm willing to bet there's actual info in there. And I'm willing to believe that Bungie is aware of how many plotholes that, if the trailer was meant to show what happened on Reach, they created.

1. Covenant don't jump into atmospheres of planets; that's heresy.
2. The Covenant had to get past the Orbital Defence grid first, which did give them a rough time for a good while.
3. They didn't begin glassing for a good while.

Those are just three I can think of immediately. So the trailers, I'll agree, are not meant to be true in the most literal sense.

Words of wisdom all around, but no one ever seems to listen. The words are all around but the words are only sound. But nobody seems to listen. Instead they'll say, "Well how could we of known?" I'll tell em, "It's really not so hard to tell. keep adding stones, and the water gets lost in the well."

True Statement. Luckily, game designers only put in what is needed. Unlike movies where every plot detail is revealed in a 60 second trailer.

I forgot about that whole kid in the grass thing.

hater.
they have reasons for changing this stuff.
whether it be time, or just the way the story flows.
i was disappointed by not being able to play through some of this stuff, but im still satisfied.

and thats not going to change that this game is obviously about Reach so it'll most likely be on reach and there's going to be spartans. there's nothing in this trailer to even lie about

and i think the audio in the trailer is what is supposed to happen through the span of the game.
like they compressed it into that little trailer, not literally supposed to be happening all at once

I'm not saying something as grand as the game won't be about Reach. But I think its obvious that the trailer we saw isn't going to be apart of the game, like every other Halo trailer we saw it was made just to be a trailer.

The whole kids in the grass thing was never going to make it in...were the heck would it have fit in? It was just marketing.

exactly. it was just a reveal trailer. why would that even need to be in the game? its not like anything epic happened. it was just showing the planet from afar with some audio basically saying, this game is on reach, there are other spartans and something big is happening down there.
