Yes it was.
I actually really liked it, and I do think they're going in the right direction with this ad campaign.

Looks great, can't wait for the second one!
Dan is a hard working and diligent and good guy. He didn't frequent forums or twitter because he was busy trying to fix (an awful, embarrassing) freak thing. He's not a sophisticated but ultimately talentless pied piper manipulator of youths and blazers like me, and any time you DON'T hear from him it's because he's trying to fix it.

If that was Colter, he sure as hell has improved. dunno what you heard Madness, cause that was fantastic.

Yeah he's improved a lot since Midnight or whatever that thing was called.
Nightfall?

So I'm guessing the second trailer is probably going to show Chief's side of the story?
I think overall it got a fairly good reception, but it was definitely a more precisely targeted piece of work.
If I had to boil all my criticisms with Legends down to a key sentence, I'd say "It was just too Japanese for me." Introducing Spartans and then immediately killing them, the Gundam suit battles, the dramatic "it's a girl Spartan!" reveal, crazy hairdos... it felt like in some ways the studios didn't really get Halo.
Frankie had a large hand in writing the stories, so maybe I'm misplacing my disappointment, and it's his fault instead. But I think a lot of the issues came down to presentation. Overall I still enjoy elements of it, and I'm still really hoping the stuff we see in "Origins" actually turns out to be prescient of future events.

He went rogue after losing his waifu, duh.
ONI does some really shady shit.
I don't think Chief is being considered a traitor at all. I think there is some major corruption going on at the UNSC. I bet chief turns to Dr. Halsey and the covenant (Arbiter) for help which gives the appearance of a traitor.
Just by the commercial alone you can tell that Locke is a bad guy. The tone in his voice, why hes choosing to execute chief on his own instead of just bringing him in for trial. All too fishy.

Um ok I wasn't serious and you don't have any knowledge about how the forum site works in comparison to gaf. It comprises of former and current gaffers. No banning (as far as I know) and there's no approval to join.
Ok

Didn't see it posted in this thread.

In other news: Clone John went missing. He ain't dead. He's a fighter, too. And a damn lucky one at that.
So here is a quick analysis of what I'm thinking is going down in Halo 5.
Chief is responsible for the destruction of whichever world they're on (or multiple worlds) by doing something stupid
Since Chief did said thing, Locke is now on a mission to stop him, and says in the trailer that he should be remembered as the protector he once was and not the traitor he is now.
Pretty cool shit. Going to go full geek going through story possibilities from now until E3.

driven by the grief of the death of Cortana.

Falls pretty close to my smaller sample size data as well. Don't suppose you would have access to the raw data?
Yeah I think I can export that data to excel. Pie charts were never an option in the Kwik Surveys systems
The twist is that Locke is the flash clone.

The twist is Locke is ONI's Arbiter.
The twist is Locke is a product of Thel's and John's DNA.

Hope ya'll love the sky because that's where we're going for our first map.
Yeah it's interesting that the flash clone apparently didn't die off like a lot (or most) of the other ones. I think it's stated in TFOR that it's not *necessarily* a death sentence but every case we've seen the clones died (or I guess with Daisy were at least crippled.)
I'm confident enough to say with 100% certainty you're at least partially right on that score.
