"A LIE is a LIE"


- Truly intelligent and deep Black ops trailer

To make a switch away from anime, I suggest to 343i that they release a Seven-part, Live action mini series containing 15-20 minute episodes. These episodes will be similar to that of land fall or the reach live action, just simple, gritty actions scenes with good CGI and great music, and a simple setting and story.

Why?

- appeals to the wider audience, more so then anime
- Halo live action trailers are extremely popular
- Other gritty mini-series like Band of brothers and Generation kill were amazing, these just had great fight scenes with little character development or plot
- doesn't require much in the way of budget although I would think MS would deal with this


And given the huge amount of brilliant books, videos and content 343 has released in such a short time, it shows they are truly devoted the expanding Halo canon and backstory.

Signatures are for squares.

Those are much more expensive to make, I'm sure.

We're lucky we have the footage we've got.

Though nothing compares to Landfall. Those Reach live action things were for the most part, crap. ODST's was good but still doesn't hold a candle to landfall.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

I think anime, or animation in general, is a much better choice for Halo to continue as a watchable media. Don't get me wrong, I love the live-action shorts, but I don't see them ever progressing beyond that, shorts. Maybe if Microsoft and HBO, the channel, got together something could happen, but I think animation is a cheaper, more affordable venue.

Heck, we don't even have to ask Japanese studios to do it, get someone like Genndy Tartakovsky to animate it and it would be golden.

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

By "like Legends", do you mean painful to sit through and generally insulting to the audience's intelligence?

If something is objectively bad, I'm going to speak for everybody in saying it.

It doesn't matter if you like it or not, it's still awful.

The problem with that is not everyone hates it, caboose hates Reach with a passion, but he enjoys Legends, except for Homecoming, which I agree with but not necessarily for the same reasons.

Awful to you. To me I liked it.
If it was terrible, it wouldn't have been released. But hey, The Last Airbender was released, this world has no taste anymore.

When I talked about Reach:live action I talked about the combat one, that was amazing, great CGI and effects. The other ones sucked, agreed.

I had to say it.

My name is Legion, for we are many.

That would be awesome, if it was from the point of view of an individual of the Covenant, like The Duel or half the campaign missions in Halo 2. I don't really like seeing the story from only a human's POV.

I'd say CGI style. like the one in the Starry Night ad. That looked fantastic!
