I like the trailers presentation, very mysterious ending. I am, questionable about John-117's armor. Is that how Mark VI is suppose to look? The armor seems similar to his armor in HCEA.

I think 343i wanted to change the pattern that was layed down by previous Halo games. I enjoyed the serenity of the opening of the trailer and then the abrupt explosion that forced Chief and Cortana out into the open.

- FoD is obviously being destroyed by something/someone or is just falling apart (more likely)


That's all I can think of for now. No TL;DR for you, I'm afraid. If you want to know the details, take the time to read them!!






The System wishes to suggest that any power left in the ship is overloading, or has simply run out. The ship itself could be caught within some sort of gravitational pull, perhaps given or amplified by the 'Forerunner Planet' as you put it. This could be pulling it apart, or at least this is what the System speculates and assumes as a possible and thus logical possibility. Should anything be overloading, though, it would explain the explosions, though this could also be explained if anything highly explosive was also compromised, thusly leading to the explosions.

For Narnia!

343's trilogy will be like Star Wars' Prequel trilogy and Bungie's trilogy will be like the classic Star Wars trilogy.

Mark my words.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

One thing I'm wondering is how much this will really follow the final game. If you remember, a lot of the Halo 3 trailers and events in them never actually took place in the game or anything. Although, as we've clearly seen, new developer new trailer methods.

It's OK, I got a double.

Jetpacks? Noon Tube Pistal? What is 343 idustries doing addind things that dont follow the halo storyline?

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

I cannot believe people are more concerned about how the MC's armour looks than actually discussing the giant Unicron style planetoid.

Seriously, I know we discuss canon and all that - but come on..

Oh please, just shut up - you are not an AI, you are some attention-whore. What you are doing has been done before and it was as annoying then as it is now

Seriously, that's what we regard as important canon now? The look of MC's armor? Who gives a -blam!-.

Has anyone noticed the jetpack sounds like the one in reach?

  • 06.07.2011 6:33 AM PDT

Personally I don't there is anything worth discussing in the teaser other then the release date, and that fact that it's part of a new trilogy. Cause really there isn't much there.

Sight.....I'm getting so incredibly sick and tired of this community. Is there ANYTHING on this world that can please you guys? I bet if you guys had a sex you would be complaining to your girlfriends as well, about how last time was so much better, or how she is awfull compared to what you had before...

Jeeez, first everybody is DEMANDING a Halo 4...now we get Anniversary and Halo 4...both look epic as f--k, but you guys still manage to whine, complain and b--ch about it?

New developer = new ideas and new graphical style.
Chiefs armor changed significantly from H2 to H3, while still being the exact same thing in canon-terms...but nobody complained then...

And complaining about pacing in a trailer? My God guys....get a damn live. Surely we all know "bad" trailers equal "bad" games....great logic there.

Same for the "Jetpack" whining.
ITS NOT A JETPACK....its a Thruster Pack, which is standard issue for every MJOLNIR MK. 5 (and up) suits. Chief had it on him ALL THE TIME. Its even being used in many of the books.

Pistol - Grenade Launcher attachement suggests we might get attachements for more weapons in this game = awesome. SMGs for instance and being able to place and remove silencers whenever you want? Sure, why not?!

Last but not least: I dare to put 10 bucks on the Forerunner structure being either a Dyson Sphere or a Portal.

Chief is finally portrayed like he is in the books. I like this a lot...

That's the way the internet works.

Wrong. We need to squash this now, because it is not so. If the Spartans had thruster packs built into their suits, they would not need to don external t-packs for EVA missions, which they do every time.

When John fires the first shot that blows open the wall, you can clearly see the pistol's barrel break open to accept the next round. Obviously, it's a new weapon. He does, however, fix some kind of attachment to the barrel at the end of the trailer, so yes, there might be minimal weapon customization.

Not wrong actually. Have you read the books? The thruster packs on the armor were so the Spartans could move around in Low/Zero Gravity situations, and not just drift into space. Either way it's in there, so let's squash any pointless debate about that. Instead we should try to think of awesome ways they could have Low/Zero Gravity combat in game.

they needed T-packs becuase of more fuel so longer ops, unless the ones intergraded have magic fuel..........

Codeword is ... "codeword". Doh!
Also, now, Alliance FTW!

The only thing that confuses me is that the frigate is breaking up. Maybe it's hitting atmosphere of the planet, but Cortana usually has a better grip on things so her freaking out was a little odd.


It may be that this is a Star Wars moment and the planet is pulling them in with a big tractor beam. If the ship is resisting (and I would assume Cortana would do everything to delay it while she woke up MC) thus the breaking up.

One theory.

I think the trailer has a heavy dose of artistic license chucked in there, it really seems that it was made by someone with little interest or a loose knowledge of the Halo universe.

HCEA looks amazing and its gameplay footage too so I'm still quietly confident that we will see a big change from Halo 4 CGI to Halo 4 gameplay footage.

That Halo 4 Mjolnir has got to go though, so strange, so pointless.
