Halo 5 Guardians: #huntthetruth

To be fair though, Starry night is not live action, it is CG.
The article said the trailer tomorrow will be live action, so not sure what to expect...

Also, while Starry night is definitely the best Halo trailer, the Halo 5 announcement at E3 2013 came sorta close....at least it was the best Halo trailer since Starry night in my opinion.

So I think 343i is capable of making a good trailer, the question is will they deliver.

For me the Halo 4 announcement teaser did more for me than the Halo 5 desert teaser.
Also there's really only two Live Action trailers from Halo that I like; ODST and Reach.
 
Frankie, does the Halo 5 trailer air after the UK premier of the Walking Dead on Monday?

Anyone know?

I don't no whether or not to wait, or watch it later when its uploaded online.
 
What? The Halo 5 Announcment trailer was an absolute failure. And the only Halo trailer in the history of Halo trailers to not get me hyped.

I'm not saying Halo 5 ads in general will be bad.

I am saying the Announcment trailer was the worst of all the Halo trailers.

The Halo 5 E3 trailer was far from a failure, sir.

1. It looked absolutely stunning.
2. It called back to a major story beat in a very subtle, and touching way.
3. A cloak? What's with the cloak? Speculate!
4. Where is Chief? Is this the Ark? Speculate!
5. What is the massive (Forerunner?) construct that emerges from the sand? Speculate!
6. Dat. Music.

There's just so much packed into that trailer. So much to enjoy. And so much to dig into and discuss. But eh, can't please everyone I suppose! :p

Safe to say that Halo typically knocks it out of the park with regard to ads/trailers. Excited to see what they do for Halo 5.

Yep. Every dang time.


Though, Halo 3 "Believe" is not only the best Halo ad, it's one of my all time favorites.

I still get chills.

Best trailer is We Are ODST, IMO.

Another great one, for sure. I dunno what it is about the visor polarization animation that I love so much, but... There's that haha.
 
I'll be hyped once a Halo game actually takes place on a Halo world. Would love to revisit that setting.

I'd like to step foot on another Halo, but it'd have to be for a different reason other than finding the Index and the Cartographer and all of that jazz. Perhaps having to do with a Flood outbreak, or something to do with another mystery vessel like the one that crashed and was buried by 343GS.

There's plenty of good reasons to go back to a Halo, but for me, I want to go back to the Ark. The Hunters in the Dark novel is taking us back to the Lesser Ark, so that'll be awesome, but I'm hoping part of Chief's lam will take us back there also.
 
I didn't really feel the launch trailer for Halo 4, the first 30 seconds seemed a bit off to me.

Well, this is just a gameplay trailer. I wouldn't group this one in with the other ones discussed above. Different feel and tone and purpose entirely.

This Halo 4 trailer, though... Most excellent. It gives a lot of great visual content to how truly sinister the Spartan II program was. A good chunk of the humanity of Chief can be found in what was taken from him as a child. It's shaped him to be who he is. Guided even, you might say...

1. What exactly looks stunning about a CGI Trailer?
2. I must have missed something
3. It wasnt really that hard to see that its the Chief.
4. Kinda agree
5. war sphinx
6. Music sounded as generic as the Halo 4 music.


So yeah, that Halo 5 Trailer wasnt good or special
 
How come some of you see 48min and some of you see nothing. I still see solid 5 and 40min
 
Hoping for a September release date. I want to play all the campaigns one more time to get fucking hype. Can't wait to see where Chiefs story heads next!

Countdown is going by local timezone, not a preset one... Basically, it's set to end at 6PM when it should have been set to end at 6PM est (or whatever). Those that see 48 min will be GMT, but we probably won't see anything at 48 min, MS just messed the countdown up.

Change the time on your computer and the countdown will change accordingly.

I hope so as well. Halo returning to its late September release window would be a great way to spread out the love this fall. Given how much time they've had to work on it I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.
 
Never mind this local timezone nonsense. Those with 21 minutes on the countdown are the chosen few. We'll do our best to describe the majesty of what is revealed unto us before everyone else finally gets it during TWD.
 
At least in Germany we just had the switch to daylight saving time tonight. Probably has something to do with it,

Has nothing to do with it. It's supposed to end at 6pm PDT, but they messed it up, so it compared your local time to the end-time and set the countdown based on that. Still 7 hours left.

lol
 
No, it is 6pm EST / 3pm PDT.

Okay, just to be 100% sure. Frankie said at "The Walking Dead" finale. That is at 9/8c, which is 9pm Eastern Time and 6pm Pacific Time. If your countdown is showing you 5 hours, it's because you are in the Eastern Time Timezone. Europeans (Including myself) had a countdown for 6pm CET, which was 1h 13m ago.

I didn't know there was a timer for the new thing. This timer is for this... http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/halo-5-guardians

I can make one for the other event though or whichever one people were having trouble seeing.

No, we both mean the same thing.
 
Is anyone on the west coast to confirm what this countdown stops at? If it's 6 PM EST then its not going to be the trailer. If it's 6 PM PST then it's likely referring to the trailer.
 
It's a sound clip with a guy just talking about chief, lost now as I was told it was a trailer.

Edit: never mind maybe it's just not time yet as I am in the UK.
 
If it's airing during The Walking Dead first, then everyone set a countdown for 7 1/2 hours, problem solved. The website does show 4 1/2 for me though, and I'm EST.
