Halo 5 and CEA did nothing for me. They both left me with negative feelings, really.

To be fair Halo 5 trailer is basically not even one. Phil Spencer said it himself none of it has to do with the game and it was just to let people know Halo is coming to xbox one officially. I expect a proper trailer with the official name of the game.
That field marshal needs to come back, so they can deal with Palmer. A single needle did seem iffy, but a super combine would have been a bit graphic.

Halo 5 technically didn't have a teaser trailer yet. I think if it had different music I would've liked it more. This fan-made version of that teaser already feels better to me.
One vote for!

We know for a fact the teaser wasn't totally meaningless. After it was shown, Frank was on here saying things like [paraphrasing] "Chief is wearing the cloak for a reason." The cloak, Chief looking roughed up, and the giant Forerunner thingie were all shown for a reason. How directly all of those things correlate to the final game remains to be seen.
I mean, whatever. I'm calling it Halo 5 until 343 announces a new official name.

With all the stuff 343 changes or adds without much explanation, I think it could be possible for Jorge to still be alive with something like "slipspace" as the reason.

Relax, I was pointing to the same thing Syphon Filter was talking about. The interview with Phill Spencers. Let's not start a game of semantics here

I could actually see this happening.

If the name of the new game is Halo 5, you all owe me 50 units of the currency of your choosing.

But why would people from 343 tease and hint at the meaning of the trailer if it was meaningless?Relax, I was pointing to the same thing Syphon Filter was talking about. The interview with Phill Spencers. Let's not start a game of semantics here

>>Asking in 2014 why 343 makes a decision they make.
Why was Camo an AA in Halo 4 after the rather universal hate it received in Reach? Wasn't it obviously terrible for gameplay? Why did they market the crap out of Spartan Ops like it was this huge deal? That "why" can be asked for a lot of things within this franchise lol

The way I see it:
The teaser is exactly as Phill Spencer said, it's just to show us that Halo is coming to the Xbox One. But if we look at it from the other side, it's very plausible that 343i had put some "easter eggs"/hints in it. Very subtle hints while still having the option to not use anything from that hint because the teaser isn't officially meant to be a teaser for a Halo game.
Silly you Jorge isn't a Spartan IV.
Lolita had so much to write about, so it was great. My literature teacher thought it was a bit too adult oriented though.
Do it at least Jorge is likable, get rid of Palmer and the S4's for the same process as well. (aesthetic redesigns as well)

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess 98% of people won't know or care if there are inconsistencies between the reveal and the final game.

Modesty becomes a woman
I don't think I get that scene at the beginning, it's been too long since I played the game. So highest level military officers are being led off the planet by spartans, so they come to the conclusion that the planet is lost?
I think the fact the ending was known by everyone, kinda made such an event inevitable.
That's not to say it couldn't have been done better, wasn't full scale ground invasion and some glassing, happening at the same time?
I was thinking about posting "you don't want to know what he took that with" earlier....

Benedict Eugn? Or possibly Cumaddict Bandersnatch?
Yeah that's the one, Sudd's needs like a giant paper bag or clothes in the next photo, why is the camera at crotch level?
Thanks a ton for the replies. I think I might just try both. Only issues I have is naming a lot of my stuff, since I don't usually have a name in mind when I write, and many things I write are in this constant state of evolution, so sometimes I'm hesitant to put something out.
I hadn't thought about Bandcamp. I may try that down the road. I really don't have a whole lot of tools to produce my stuff, so it'll go slow, but thanks for the advice about that anyway.
Thanks guys!

God.. I really really hope 343 fixes those audio issues (for Halo 5) with the soundtracks not loud enough with each cut scenes in Halo 4. That took the feeling away for my playthrough experiences.

There really needs to be SFX / music / voice volume sliders. I'd love to try playing a Halo campaign with no music just to see how it feels.

How about MY version of the trailer?...

Equalizer presets for the music could be fun, given how many potential audio setups there are.

I'm talking iTunes or car stereo-style bass / punk / pop / treble / powerful, etc.

Regardless if its halo 5 or whatever, the E3 teaser was good imo because it had that level of mystery and fantasy that I like in Halo. I was totally off guard. Just like the H4 reveal (but not as good)
At first I was like
"okay, interesting desert thing"
then I was like
"whoa, weird gravity rocks"
Den I was like
"gauntlet. Gauntlet!"
My gf face when

The cloak blows off
(single tear rolls down my cheek.)
... chief
Now we just need to recapture that level of awe in the actual game...

Hahaha, yeah, I can't deny I felt similarly. The cloak kinda ruined it for me, though. The thought of a seven foot tall super soldier trying to hide his appearance with a tattered piece of cloth just seems silly to me. I guess it's also because it's an aesthetic that's never been in the Halo series before, and I don't think it fits well. But oh well, ultimately it's a minor thing.

Yeah. The thought of Chief having to resort to using a cloak to obscure his appearance is kind of cool, too, though. It implies a desperation. Like, he doesn't have access to or isn't able to use active camo, so he has to use an actual cloak. But where did he get it from? Bought it online? I wonder what he was doing for those 2 to 7 business days.

I dunno but Bungie failed to recreate their trailers into their games, In Halo 4 I was the expecting the "I wont allow you to leave this planet!!!" from the Halo 4 trailer but it was so dull and simple in the actual game.

Yeah, I dunno.. maybe his armor is broken? I'm sure there is a least a moderately decent reason for it, haha.
Halo 4, aside from the feelings of the first two levels was bad. I was expecting isolation, frustration, and Chief not knowing what to do. 5 years drifting with his 'friend/companion' rampant, millions of miles away in some far off forerunner planet etc. Releases didact thinking it'll save cortana, librarian helps him. Didn't want the infinity there at all. The entire infinity/composer/requiem Jul M'Dama stuff should have happened after Chief stopped Didact etc.
Let's see what they do with Halo 5. That said, the Halo 3 trailers were god tier in terms of hype. I literally couldn't sleep the day or two before Halo 3 launch.
I've got a slight hunch, but it's not a very strong one. I mean, it could be an armor difficulty, but Frankie said that he is deliberately trying to hide his identity. I don't think he's trying to hide from anybody like the Didact or his minion dudes. Or even the UNSC. Idk, I'm wondering if it's something more pedestrian. Like, when he's walking through cities or something, he doesn't want people to notice his armor.
Of course then there's the issue of his helmet, but then again, even if he takes it off in public so that everybody thinks he's just a dude in a cloak, obviously it makes sense to wear it in the desert to keep sand out of his eyes. Idk.
God I want to know already.

I'm expecting Metroid and Chief lost the majority of his suit components or they got too damaged to be worth carrying around. He keeps the helmet on for intel purposes like HUD relays because it can at least still hook up to his neural interface. If Chief was wearing his gargantuan 4-era armor, there's no way he'd have that pedestrian of a silhouette in a cloak. He'd look like a hunchback thanks to all the torso plating.

The first level in Halo 4 should have been pure exploration and wonder. Like you said he drifted into space for 5 years. He wakes up and goes right back to shooting shit. The pace was just a bit off.
Then again you cant explore anything in Halo 4. One of the most disappointing things for me was how average Requiem looked in most areas. I was expecting the planet to look much more alien. All we got was rocks.
Halo 5 should be open world. Halo really is the perfect game and setting for huge open world environments. I am surprised it has not happened yet.
