[op_ivy]

that is awesome.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

This was produced much better than I expected.

Mario t-shirt in plain sight confirms "Hell naw".

So this is up to almost 1.5 million views on youtube.. I suppose that is pretty good?

Oh yeah, that's pretty damn good. People right home for getting close to 100k.

It's the GAF audience, really.

The Armour in Landfall looked better, something seems a little strange about that marine armour aswell as the cadets version.

They were all ODST's in Landfall I thought.

 

[Walshicus]

Yeah, it's a Greek Spartan, seems like a symbol for the UNSC and that will play a role later I guess. I have mostly forgotten everything that was in Fall of Reach, they might have touched on this topic?

Um, isn't it a Roman Centurion? Since it's named for a Roman general?

 

[LQX]

It was okay, cant wait for the others when things pick up. Also, its kind of absurd I could not easily watch this on the 360.

Haha, this.

I watched it through the YouTube app on my appleTV.

The first episode was decent. I wonder how the pacing will be when all the parts are watched back to back?

 

[TheVoidDragon]

The two at the start are ODST, the rest are Marines.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Agreed. They looked more real for sure, the metal stood out more and the dirt, wear and tear really pulled it together.

Its pretty easy to access through the Halo Waypoint app.

I think i just don't like the type of armour they are using. It looks like it's a different variant to what was used in Landfall. In Landfall the Marine armour was the same as the Halo 3 Marines, like this:

Whereas the Forward Unto Dawn armour looks a bit more like the ones used in reach. I have no idea if this armour is now the canon marine armour, as the Halo 1 Marines and the Marines in Reach wore it.

Eh, I would still put it closer to halo 3's style than Reach.

That said, they style I don't mind, its just the armor in Landfall looks more real. But I like the armor in FUD, im just not super fond of the cadets armor.

 

[TheVoidDragon]

Ah, you're right. It looks more like the Halo 3 version. The Helmet is more like the Reach Variant though, which i don't like at all.

Same date for the UK I wonder?

 

[derFeef]

Nice! Extras sound meaty.

 

[Dictator93]

Personally, I find this quite endearing. Kids should enjoy pop-sci-fi and good games. THem being a part of the target audience is a great thing

 

[S1kkZ]

i hope limited-edition owners will get some of the extras...

 

[Dictator93]

SUPER AWESOME DOUBLE POST EXCUSE ME

So awesome, the Blu Ray will be mine... Can't wait to see the Covenant VFX models.

 

[TheOddOne]

Episode 2!

 

[Krilekk]

Haha, noticed that right away as well. Hello Frankie.

My major complaint about this series is the lack of any likeable character. This episode felt pretty much like the first one but with reverse storytelling, kinda strange. Even a bit boring.

 

[TheOddOne]

Actually liked it more then the first episode.

 

[Ein Soph Aur]

It sucks we have to wait another week for Episode 3.

Good episode though.

 

[S1kkZ]

Actually liked it more then the first episode.

same. next episode seems to be amazing, the elite in the preview looked cool (from what you could see).

 

[Ningo]

More like Forward Unto Yawn...

Spoiler

I know that was bad. I actually don't mind the series.

 

[Raide]

Much better than the first but the first tends to set up characters more than anything. Damn them for making us wait another week for Episode 3.

 

[NH Apache]

Beamish got me good haha.

I'm really enjoying this.

 

[Majanew]

Only 3 episodes left. feels a tad rushed.

 

[The Elite]

Episode 2!

This will get a lot of use.

 

[dehydratedbabies]

Subtle this cameo is not.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

This episode felt pretty rushed TBH, the pacing was off and it ended abruptly.. felt like it needed a better ending. Still, I liked.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Guy from Machimina is on Bloomberg right now specifically talking about Forward Unto Dawn.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Pretty good. I love the Cortana bit at the beginning of each episode.

 

[Gowans]

Fantastic new ep,

could watch this all day.

Loved it!

I'll update the OP and ask a mod to update the title

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Is it me, or the MachinimaPrime video getting really low youtube views?

2.79 million views now - hah

 

[Gowans]

2.79 million views now - hah

WOW! Deserved!

 

[Silly.Mikey]

lol was Frankie the cook or the janitor?

But i have to say, the black chick whos the squad leader or whatever, shes really not convincing to me.

 

[watership]

2.79 million views now - hah

I was just going to post this! Last time I checked, it was so low. The word must l have gotten out over the week . I suspect as the series gains momentum the views will skyrocket.

 

[Spiders]

Just watched the second episode. Really enjoyed it.

The opening was great, and so was Frankie's cameo.

 

[AlStrong]

But i have to say, the black chick whos the squad leader or whatever, shes really not convincing to me.

Yeah... kinda feels like she's trying too hard. "newbs" -_-

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

New pic:

Since this thread was technically for episode 1 should it get a new thread? Or a title update? I'm sure a quite a few people don't realize this hits every Friday.

lol was Frankie the cook or the janitor?

But i have to say, the black chick whos the squad leader or whatever, shes really not convincing to me.

Agreed, I can't really figure out what she's supposed to be... a second year as a leader? One way or another she seems out of place.

I think YouTube's view counter must just be slow to update.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Wow all that teen angst drama. It's like High school musical Halo edition. I was just waiting for them to break out into dance at some parts.

 

[JimiNutz]

Second episode in and the show is def a lot better than I expected. Still not getting too excited until I see MC and some Elites for the first time!
Is it confirmed that MC will be in next ep?

I saw on the YouTube comments that MC would have been only 14 when this series takes place, is that correct?

 

[JimiNutz]

Is it true that MC is only going to be 14 when he turns up in this? Saw that posted on the YouTube comments...
