Watched the trailer this morning and thought it was excellent. Fits with the holistic focus on Chief as a human with a childhood and everything. Loved the scene with Chief face to face with the antagonist, helpless; hugely reminiscent of Arnold being held up against the tree by the Predator.
Fucking never change though HaloGAF. About 8 pages of mostly moaning about what is ultimately an advert which is irrelevant once the game launches. And yet I've seen about five posts on the fact that Theatre hasn't improved in five years sans Campaign rewinding. Dem priorities.

Hmm, I really enjoyed the trailer, as a big Halo fan, but I think a lot of the criticism is fair.
Last time I checked I was the only one advocating a server browser, don't talk to me about priorities.
As I said in the trailer thread, I found it on a par with Deliver Hope, but nowhere near ODST or Halo 3's Believe compaign.
I did enjoy the Didact segments, and the scene where John suited up for the first time, but I found the whole composition fairly weak. It's not a case of 'hating', as someone just said, nor is it a case of not understanding it; as an idea, and as a final piece it's just nowhere near as effective as We Are ODST, for example.
Like I say though, Didact was fucking cool (if that's him at all).

Probably already touched upon, but I found it absolutely fantastic that early yesterday we were talking about that classic piece of Halo art with a crew surrounding and working on the chief's suit, and later on the day we got to see it realized in beautiful live action.
Will watch FUD ep3 later, not at home.

agreed, fantastic fanservice.
that gives me hope for the halo film (if it ever comes out).
hell: when halo 5 comes out, we will get a full blown 2 hour movie directed by nolan and thats just for the marketing (like fud)

I just wish they would actually improve it, at least make it feel good to shoot. The new sound may help a little, but it still looks like its the same ol pea shooter.
Final Fantasy 7.
Trailer was okay, depending on how you view it--don't see it as much for the casual viewer, nice touches for the fans, but the commercial lacked the story arc we got in the best Halo ads--Believe, We Are ODST, etc.
FUD was pretty good. The kid actors continue to impress.
Also, liked the nods to Davidge's music in the FUD episode

(when Lasky gets informed about his discharge.) And the people falling from the space elevator was pretty damn creepy, and a nice nod to 'Second Sunrise on New Mombasa' in spirit.
I wish the fanbase would stop acting like the AR's balancing in multiplayer is canon.
holy shit this was awesome
FUD = great
Trailer = solid
That was great. Music lined up really well.

What if John turns out to be the ancient evil and the scan process (from the trailer) is what awakens that part of his psyche?

Re' trailer:
not what i was expecting but cool nonetheless. did not anticipate our first view of the didact. by scanning, i had assumed we'd see the forward unto dawn "scanned" ala the infinity ship from the e3 demo - possibly admist the covenant boarding action from the first level. instead we get a glimpse of chief captured and scanned by the didact himself, possibly seeing the "evils" of humanity in chiefs life. a judgement of sorts? also, interesting to see that he appears to share, at the very least, some design elements with the knights.

I thought the commercial was awesome. I also might have to agree about the music(slightly disappointing) ill have To watch it again. But dam did the chief look badass. And the didact!! Also my one really complaint would be is this a spoiler?
the chief gets captured by the didact? I really would not have watched it. If I knew before hand :/
Shout out to New Mombasa Waste Management.
