Wow, that's actually really cool. :) Good job!

Sorry, I don't have much to say about specifics.. It's just a good read altogether.

Thanks. I noticed some of the stuff before, but didn't think much about posting my thoughts on them until this months OXM, when Bungie directly stated to look more into the more subtle, aesthetic things in the trailer.

I agree with you totally about the aesthetics of it. The symbolism of the trailer is so dark and heavy. The Earth levels of Halo 2 set up this sense of history and greatness and power; the technological marvel that was the space elevator, the monolithic metroplex of New Mombasa splaying out from it, and the historic, community feel of Old Mombasa.

And then, in the trailer, it all changes. The space elevator is shattered on the ground. The great city is nothing more than a dark ruin on the horizon, like pebbles. In one fell swoop, all of humanity's power has been cast away...

That's not appropriate 1337 at all. 600P? Good? Not even close.

... Um, anyway, to stay on topic.. I like your last part about the trailer logo. I couldn't have described it better!

Is that a rhetorical question?

Gracias. I actually found myself being sortof redundant in that part, trying to explain how I felt watching that.

Is that even a question?

See, Jordan, it's a good thread, but I think the maturity level in this forum (at certain times of the day) aren't up to the level of this kind of intelligent and well-thought out post.. It's a sad reality.

I think it's very well thought out. I'm only 13. That's why I am not up to your standards.

FInally a thread that is not about rampant speculation and acctually has some well thought out observations. I like how much attention to detail you made, especially noticing the subtle music changes. Nice work!

So, being 13 makes excuses you for having poor punctuation? Tsk tsk. That's shameful..
However, I wasn't pointing to you when I posted.

The punctuation errors were careless mistakes.
