Subject: Trailer was CGI?

if you have any questions about halo i am one of the few people on this site who will gladly help you. Even though this account has been active for only a year, my past accounts go all the way back to 2002.

I'm just wondering if this has been confirmed. I know it probably isn't the new engine but i haven't found anything on the internet confirming it.

the trailer was CG right?

Nope. Its live footage.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Does it matter? If it was a trailer showing huge battles it would make a difference, but that just showed a planet, some stars, and a UNSC Orbital Platform.... Nothing special about it.

if that is in engine then its an example of the games graphics, which would then be really Fing awesome

haha yeah.

I can't imagine Bungie using the game engine to create that sort of teaser maybe if it had shown more action but when all you need to do is create a planet with some explosions it seems a bit of a waste.

On top of that I can't think of any instances where a teaser GAME trailer has had the game engine supporting it.

It's a CGI Trailer. Not in-engine.

Bungie have stopped doing in-engine announcement trailers because of Halo 3 - the announcement trailer for Halo 3 looked better than the final game, which caused a bit of a fuss leading up to the launch of Halo 3 - mostly about the textures on the Chiefs armour.
