Pretty awesome.
Spartan porn.
Lack of MC in the intro makes me upset though. And nothing beats Halsey's speech with Spartan II/Chief footage.

Rendered with in game assets as basis. Basically CG as far as this conversation is concerned but the majority of cinematics will be in engine.

Fucking wow, that was glorious.
Apart from playing it at my friends' place from time to time, I've never owned the series myself but hot damn, do I always love their cinematics and trailers.

Looks fucking phenomenal. I hope we don't see any MCC concern trolling in this thread.

So you guys will explain some stuff between H4 and H5? Not everyone reads the Comics etc So it would be nice to have some stuff explained in the game with some nice CGI scenes

I ain't even mad, Stinkles should just give all of us early access to the full game for stringing us along. That was definitely higher then a 4/10, f'n liar!

That was pretty good.
I want to see how it transitions into gameplay though.
I was expecting to see that until I re-read the sentence and saw "real thing" at the end.

I assume some story heavy prologue will take place just before.

Gross. So are Spartan IVs just comic book super heroes now? I guess Halo just isn't for me anymore.

The music, pacing and action has this feeling like the Nylund books coming to the games. I've watched it twice and so many elements coming together e.g. animation, voice acting, graphics, effects, Spartans etc. Feels like when Chief gave the Covies back their bomb X 4

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.

Looks really nice visually, but I almost saw them yawn at how easy they took out that enemy faction.
If you make them like Superman, there's no tension or excitement from overcoming incredible odds. You're just going through the numbers. Been there done that. The Order 1886 had the same problem for me; the heroes looked bored most of the time. When you first encountered werewolves, the main character barely broke a sweat. How can you be excited when your character is bored.
Hope it's actually reflected in the gameplay itself or there's gonna be a big disconnect between how free and easy it all is in the cinematics compared to how linear and handicaped you might be during actual gameplay.

The air drop was awesome, the fight whilst running down a mountain looked kinda badass but felt far too over the top for me. Older Halo trailers manage to make the Chief look like a total badass without forcing him to do loads of acrobatics (I know the H4 prologue has him doing a backflip but that lasted all of about 5 seconds).

That really felt like an epic adventure was about to be had. Awesome.

They ever gonna bother explaining in-game what "The Covenant" consists of now?

Any other links? Vid isn't loading for me.
Spartans have always been described as being able to do this kind of stuff. I have no problem with this representation, and I see this interpretation of Spartan ability as being the best fit for a movie, were one to ever happen.

this is so far from the HALO bungie created, sad day for me
this is actually closer to the lore which is great

I think the purpose of the cutscene is to show how they work well as a team and have their shit together, but yeah I hope the level following this isn't super linear and filled with corridors.
Lol, love that gif
