The trailer was good for the most part. Some nitpicks:
1. The weapons still look out of place. Mostly everything does a good job of making me think this isn't from a videogame, but those weapons pull me out of it.
2. "Stay with me. It's your only chance for survival." Cheesy.

Well you're comparing Blomkamp to the guy that directed Sorority Row.

Also on Machinima. Full thing comes with the CE of the game.

At 2.13, that's got be a cloaked elite right? The water acts weirdly.
...

I guess I'm the only one who thinks this looks bad. :_\

As mentioned earlier he's not in that part for a reason. It's 20 years ago, Chief needed to sound younger.

What have I said about assumptions?
Remember this Master Chief is a lot younger than the one we all met first in Halo: Combat Evolved.
Steven is an adult male of some age. His resonant tones would have sounded odd coming out of a character that's actually pretty young.
Don't think he'd be fit for a 25 year old Chief.

Ok, after finding the trailer a little worrying this hyped me back up! Hot damn!
Yay! Listening now!
Nope, I agree. Well, I think the color correction looks like something out of a student project, and that MC looks awkward the way he was filmed. Due to the youth of all the actors it really has a fan film vibe, but some of it looks top notch. Im gonna go into more detail later so I don't sound like a over critical asshole, its just film is something I am incredibly passionate about and I expected something a little differen't

If that was the goal, then they should have gotten an actor that could imitate Steve Downes's vocal style.
I honestly didn't know this was so far back in the past. But I'll continue to enjoy not-Downes in the other side projects from when Chief is supposed to be the same age.

I enjoyed it but some aspects were a tad lacking, some costumes and Chief's terminator line in particular.
Actually I think as far as the film quality it looks fantastic. The acting and dialogue is where I feel it falls short. And MC just seems incredibly awkward there. I am actually pretty shocked at my feelings, since I loved the teaser, and have loved EVERY live-action Halo piece to date.
This looks like MTV's Halo.

Yeah, I mean I think my expectations were set pretty low given the director and the scale/budget for this thing.
Chief just looks cheaply made which is unfortunate. You can see that a live action Halo could totally work (with the proper budget), and this looks like it'll be decent enough where it won't be embarrassing.
So I guess there's that.
That Halo 4 console is just plain bad though. Surprised with all the talented artists at 343 (SPARTH) they couldn't come up with something better.
Isn't Microsoft in charge of the console designs, not 343?
Pretty sure that's it.

Dunno, but if I was 343 I wouldn't have let it be approved.
To be honest, I don't really care about all this extraneous marketing bullshit. I just want the game to be good.
Also, I think the Halo Reach Live action trailer "Deliver Hope" is infinitely more professional looking. From the weapon design, to the armor, to the color grading. Everything about it seems like it's made by people who know their shit.

My friend's bday is on November 6th.....Nice B-day present, 343
The costumes and some voice acting is meh, but I enjoyed it
I remember that video, it was so stupid
ly hilarious
Me neither. I never am.
That pretty much reflects my feelings. I doubt this was the intention, but the production style definitely has that vibe.
Well, it is a military facility. They're usually pretty picky about cleanliness. It'll probably get dirtier after the Covies attack so the first part has a different tone than when after everything goes to shit.

Eh, I think the color correction looks kinda phoned in and is over done.. Let the natural colors breathe a little, or go a different route with it IMO. It just very much seems to have that 'student film filter' applied to it. MC looks very out of place, IMO, due to his visor. It looks cheap. I know Oakley made it, but it doesn't looks right.. Also, the paint app could have suggested metal better IMO. He was also kinda filmed in a cheesy sort of way.. I much prefer the look of the live action Reach Spartans, paint app etc, even though their suit bounced around too much. Acting/Dialogue was so-so, but its kinda hard to judge given the content of the trailer.
Eh, given the visual quality of past live action Halo ads I feel this one has more of a amateur vibe, especially scenes with MC. I expect more based on the past live action adventures. I really hope they touch up his visor in post, it just feels very off. Same with the color correction.
Just confirmed on the Sparkast it was indeed a cloaked Elite.
This makes me a little happier.

Im in the military and your right about the cleanliness but I was talking about the way its filmed make everything look sterile even the field exercise but Im still open to see the difference when all the post production and FX are gonna be in.
Your fault man. If you half ass things, people won't continue to ask you to do them.

Do it.
FUD looks pretty awesome. Suit looks cool, but also a bit odd. For what it is though, I'd say its good quality. If it was a full fledged movie, it wouldn't be worthy. But yeah, I think it looks good and I'm excited to see how it turns out. Its pretty cool 343 is doing this.
I don't care for the console either Ryaaaaaan.

There hasn't been anything that revelatory other than them saying how impressed they are with their own shit. *shocker*
