That's what he started questioning right at the end of the audio clip.

Hadn't finished listening when originally posting, that makes sense. I just assumed that the flash clones degraded much faster than that and didn't retain their original attributes as well. I guess it can still fit within the universe :/

 

[whipihguh]

Maybe it's just the perspective of the statue, but it seems pretty interesting that it seems to be a blend of the Mark VI and the Mark VII(?) armor.

I wouldn't expect Gameplay until E3. This is all story stuff.

So doing a tiny little bit of analysis here:


- His left (our right) shoulder has some serious damage. The Mjolnir armor there has been ripped apart, looks almost like flesh damage.

- Damage scarring across his chest plate.

- He is moving his right (our left) arm and grabbing something in the rubble or just the rubble its self.

- No visible crack or damage to his helmet or visor. Either this is pre-E3 trailer or that just isn't happening... or he has a new visor.

- Possible look at what Locke's INGAME HUD could look like, I'm assuming the VFX team that worked on this shot had assets from 343 from Halo 5. There looks to be a shield and health bar; and Locke has taken damage.

You can see a pistol in the rubble in front of his hand.

Only multi beta gameplay, campaign is on lock

Just a reminder, that this actually won't happen in-game probably.

There was no single live action trailer, that represented the actual game scene, but they were always kinda close. Don't take them too serious.

Yeah, I was expecting something similar to the diorama advert in Halo 3 - MC being surrounded by a fuck ton of Covenant - but nothing at all like it happened in game.

I think in the case of Naomi, her flash clone lived for like 2 years after being swapped. I could be wrong, it's been a while since I read that book.

There is a pistol in front of his right hand.

EDIT: Beaten.

[Final Verdict]

Damn son, the Infinity got wrecked! I wonder what the hell could have done something like that. Not the Covenant, surely?

Can't wait to see the second part, maybe it'll answer that in some way.

Maybe the giant forerunner thing chief woke up is what did the damage to infinity...

Or maybe chief justice stuck it with a plasma grenade...;p

 

[Magwik]

"IN MY OPINION THE HUMANS ARE EVIL"

Oh god I can actually see this happening now

 

[paragonpro]

I have to wonder what hit the infinity, will we still be dealing with the fore runners, as the didact is dead, or are we maybe looking at the precursors? Possibly even the humanity that existed before our evolution restarted? I love this kind of speculation!

 

[iFirez]

You can see a pistol in the rubble in front of his hand.

This excites me... nearly as much as your avatar.

 

[TheGravemind]

cant remember who you are quoting

But it would be so awesome.

It's a star wars reference. Replace humans with jedi.

ah ok it's a quote from that shit tier movie named episode 2.

Now i got it

Locke seems a bit... salty.

He is reaching for a pistol. Look in the dirt.

Between this and this bat shit crazy Wrestlemania, tonight has been awesome.

episode 2.

Nope

 

[SmartWaffles]

The HUD shows Locke was using BR but the weapon he throws on the ground is actually a DMR.

So... a Locke Vs. Chief pistol stand off?
DRAW! Classic Western stuff right there.

 

[iFirez]

Chief's armor damage:

*awesome image*

Looks like something super strong hit him, that shoulder damage has ripped the Mjolnir apart and that hole in the chest piece doesn't look much better.


edit: I double posted, my bad. <3 Sorry all.

 

[Final Verdict]

Comming up!!

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I wonder what Locke shot him with to do that much damage?

 

[Bsigg12]

I wonder what Locke shot him with to do that much damage?

I was thinking railgun

 

[Feel the Swift]

That's probably the best Halo trailer I've ever fucking watched. Christ just take my money you pricks.

Wow, bold statement.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Is it bad that seeing chief like this kinda physically pains me? Like, I almost want to hit Locke right now...

Spoiler

I will destroy him.

 

[wesleyshark]

Closeup:

Obviously there's heat damage of some kind... But what about the veiny marks? Could be cracks. Could be... something else.

 

[Magwik]

"I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT ONI WERE PLOTTING TO TAKE OVER"

Okay, this is perfect

 

[iFirez]

I wonder what Locke shot him with to do that much damage?

Who says Locke did any shooting prior to this... I think there's more to this that we have yet to see.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Closeup:

Obviously there's heat damage of some kind... But what about the veiny marks?

Cracks caused by trauma and heat?

Railgun seems about right.

A plasma shot would've melted the armor and not left sharp edges like it did.

Sniper rifle wouldn't have left so much heat to the armor.

Railgun would have left heat and sharp impact edges.

 

[bGanci]

Closeup:

Obviously there's heat damage of some kind... But what about the veiny marks?

Probably just cracks coming from the hole.

 

[BlackJet]

Chief's armor damage:

Arbiter plz help

 

[Bornstellar]

You guys listen to the new episode yet? Really well done.

 

[Fata1moose]

I was thinking light rifle damage on Chief.

 

[Magwik]

There's no turning back now

 

[Final Verdict]

Chief's armor damage:

Hope he has that rare disorder where your heart is on your left side....unless chief doesn't have a heart...
