Well said! It was different, but also familiar. I really did enjoy it thoroughly.
Halo 4 looks phenomenal on the Xbone.

Doing exactly the same right now. Im using the Xbox screenshot function every 5 seconds. Still sad there was never a theatre mode for campaign, hope to hell 5 does.

My personal issue with Neil's work is that some of it was straight out of Transformers, Alien and Star Wars. Playing Halo with out the score was like playing Zelda without the Fairy fountain theme on Player Select. It was odd.
That small snippet of the Halo theme after exiting slipspace was like water in the desert for me. - https://youtu.be/GbjA6rB98Yk?t=38m5s

Marty is such large shoes to fill and it would be a mistake to replicate his sound but I really didn't like Halo 4's soundtrack. Too much of an orchestral/Hollywood feel.
Marty's best work is probably Halo 3 IMO. Just listen to this amazing piece.

Ya it will be done around 8pm central just like last week.
Just me or does that sound like something straight out of Marvel?
Marty probably first but it sounds so like Marvel.
Crazy I was just watching this too lol. I was going to comment on how I didn't care for that part of the H4 soundtrack with the straight up John Williams sounding theme, which was worse considering it was followed by the monks. Not that I hate John Williams, it's just that was one of the places in the Halo 4 campaign where I completely lost immersion because of how out of place that sounded.

You think? I love this rendition. I only ever get a "Halo" vibe from it.
It does have a splash of Epic Movie Theme I guess.
Hah! That's exactly how I felt.
I was slightly stunned at how odd that piece of music felt during that cinematic.

Nothing, yet. We'll see more around 9 EST (~2.5hr)
So 9PM EST?
Just recent memory I suppose, marvel everywhere. I've listened to it a few more times and the Halo-ness does come through more than it did before.
Yeah, sadly.
It ends for every timezone at 6pm, but the only timezone that is right is the Pacific Time.

So what was the countdown that just ended?

It went off at 6pm your local time, not 6pm PST like it's supposed to be.
Sorry if this has been asked, at what site is the countdown?

Marvelous, a count down that doesnt work. Begin hype
Final Verdict

Why didn't you like it?
Also, it was just a teaser, just like Halo 3 had the "gods and daemons" teaser two years before it came out, so you can't compare this one commercial to an entire marketing campaign.
It's on the Xbox page: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/halo-5-guardians
I assume the info will be dropped on this page aswell, though: http://huntthetruth.tumblr.com/

Yeah, Xbox.com's countdown tool is broken like what.

I hope this is not any indication of what the halo 5 launch will turn up like
Sarcasm, but seriously, get yo stuff strait 343!
Says 20 minutes left for me, is it supposed to be at a later time?
Ah, I see. It's 5:40 CST for me. Oh well, we wait a little while.

If you ever watched a 343 live stream on Twitch, they're pretty bad at countdowns.

is it fair to say in terms of accomplishments Chief is the greatest soldier in UNSC history?
Gods and Demons was amazing though. I still get chills when the Chief walks out of the dust and Marty's score starts playing.

not necessary, the most skilled however
Thanks guys
Any idea what we are getting?
Live action trailer during Walking Dead I assume.

Live Action trailer according to IGN, but I'll keep my expecatations low, like Stinkles said.
Most likely.
I recall reading somewhere that out of all the members of Blue Team, John wasn't the strongest, nor the most accurate, nor the fastest. Though he was the luckiest. Might be remembering wrong tho.

I really liked the Halo 4 soundtrack, it was fresh and grand. Awesome tunes to accompany epic moments. Most notably the end fight towards the Didact and the flight section. All was good. Marty's tracks are of course classic, but a new composer needs to make his own mark so I wasn't clambering for a predefined style. Anyway, maybe its best to move this kind of discussion the Halo OT in Community.

That's always a safe assumption.
I did the same for the 1st announcement and watching the trainwreck was glorious.
