Don't flame me too much but...visually this looks good. But a far cry from the OMG BEST GRAPHIX EVER that people have been swearing.
It could be the feed but I doubt it'd make a huge difference.
However some of the cutscenes look amazing though.
The action scenes in the prologue goddamn, give me that movie already.

You could make that argument based on the Anniversary terminals alone. I'd be there day zero.MS should seriously say fuck live action and do a full blown 2.5 hour CGI movie. With a Pixar level budget.
Huh....not exactly what I imagined the Forerunners to look like.
Dat Legendary ending. Just make the movie already! fuck me that was awesome.
Storm Elites were probably the grunt-class Elites maybe? As for the armor? They lost me there too.In the prologue, why are all the Spartans wearing the Mark VI suit that Cortana upgraded? They should have Mark IV or V... Also why are they using the Storm designs for the Elites...
The final boss isSomeone spoil it, please. YouTube is blocked where I work.

EDIT: Based on the wikia Mark VI was deployed around Halo 2 to the surviving Spartans. If it's a fight on Earth then it all makes sense.
The final boss isCortanaa QTE.always wanted to touch Master Chief's chest. The feeling's mutual, I'm sure.
It's just artistic license. Someone though old Halo designs were lame or not modern enough, so they changed them based on their idea of "cool".No, the Storm is separate from the Covenant, they came AFTER Halo 3. Also Chief isn't wearing regular Mark VI, it is a suit of Mark VI upgraded by Nanomachines, it is completely unique.
I only saw some random cutscenes on youtube, so I lack the context for most of the events and would probably get a lot of it wrong.Can you give me some real details?

I see. For the armor, at the end when you see him leading the people behind him it's clearly the unique armor but the one the rest of the Spartans use when we see them looks like regular Mark VI. Something about it looks abit different. Either that or they were just lazy.No, the Storm is separate from the Covenant, they came AFTER Halo 3.

I'm glad this is where they took that part of the storyPrometheans are ancient humans converted into forerunner slaves by a device called the composer, which the didact is seeking to convert the rest of humanity into prometheans.

Cortana didn't do a thing to the exterior of that suit, that's now what it always looked like. Same goes for Covenant armor, Godzilla Jackals, Grunts with luscious little buttocks.
Prometheans are ancient humans converted into forerunner slaves by a device called the composer, which the didact is seeking to convert the rest of humanity into prometheans. Didact retrieves the composer from a UNSC research base (not sure how they got it) in a massive forerunner vessel and proceeds towards earth, chief follows in a broadsword with a nuclear payload which he intends to use to destroy the composer.
The final mission starts with a segment reminiscent of the death star level in rogue squadron, flying along the hull of the massive forerunner vessel towards the composer. Chief's broadsword is eventually destroyed so he has to infiltrate the ship on foot with the payload. Cortana injects the rampant aspects of her personality into the defence system to lower the shields protecting the didact and the composer, but the didact then destroys the pedestal containing the real cortana, leaving only the rampant copies. Chief eventually reaches the didact, who throws him off the light bridge and is about to kill him, when the rampant cortanas materialize from the light bridge and hold the didact down. The final sequence requires you to plant a pulse grenade on the incapacitated didact, who then falls into an energy core. Chief detonates the nuke by bashing it with his fist, but is saved by cortana, who uses the last of her energy within the system to save him (telling him this in some kind of hallucination where she is life size).
He is then found by the infinity. The end.
An encounter with the librarian is alluded to as well but I didn't see that bit.
Anyone who wants to fill in the gaps be my guest. There is surprisingly little left unresolved for the sequels, maybe they haven't nailed down what direction they want to go in yet and are waiting for feedback.
I think it's more like a mixture of Cloverfield monster's and Voldemort's heads, on the body of a metal sculpture of a Gears of War Berserker.Ew, Didact looks like a mix between Gears of War Locust and the Grinch from that awful live action Dr. Seuss movie.
Bizarrely random bit of fanservice. They said that they didn't want players to look like the (current) Master Chief in multiplayer.Then explain the Mark VI available in multiplayer.
I'm glad this is where they took that part of the story, but that part is presented EXTREMELY poorly. It's basically an info dump in the style of Assassin's Creed Revelations... I mean, except with actual revelations in this case.CALLED IT!

He also wears an Army of Two bro's helmet and sounds like a Transformer.

Seriously, the armor still bears the same battle damage from Halo 3. If nanomachines could completely alter its shape, they wouldn't miss that spot.
Also had that feeling about the prometheans
They looked way too human like for me and totally not what Forerunners were described as in the books. Only seen last 90 min of the game do we know which of the two didacts the one in the game is. Also does someone have a picture of the librarian?

Obviously that's just them being lazy.Okay, then why did it showChief receiving Cortana from Halsey while wearing Mark VI.
He's grotesque, so I'd assume it's Bornstellar, but that's just a guess.Only seen last 90 min of the game do we know which of the two didacts the one in the game is.
You're right, he is wearing the Mark VI. The new one. Because that's now what it always looked like.Okay, then why did it showChief receiving Cortana from Halsey while wearing Mark VI.
You're right, he is wearing the Mark VI. The new one. Because that's now what it always looked like.
According to the description above, they're ancient humans converted into forerunner slaves. Shouldn't it be normal that they still have some human attributes?
Obviously that's just them being lazy.
So essentiallythey "killed off" the last remaining Halo character(besides Buck) that was actually interesting.
Im just so excited for the next game! /sarcasm
Who?
They did, however, "bother" making a clean, not scarred variant of the suit.Except he never saw Halsey while he was in Mark VI. That scene would have to be him in Mark V. Ergo they just didn't bother making CG models for Mark V and VI.
Better be.She'll be back.
They did, however, "bother" making a clean, not scarred variant of the suit.
The "marks" of armor designs have become completely meaningless over the years. The books have a Mark VII that looks like "Mark V", Forward Unto Dawn and Legends feature Mark Vs that look like "Mark VI". Spartan IIIs wear all kind of mjolnirs, which sometimes look like SPI for no good reason... It doesn't matter what you call it, this is now a design he's been using for years.
Either that, or all cutscenes are unreliable and they might as well have used Elite models to represent the yet untold invasion of flying spaghetti monsters.
Just saw the ending,?Cortana is gone for good
This is BS to have to use tags here, GTFO if you don't want to be spoiled, I'll do it anyways this one time.
THE GAME ISN'T OUT YET
When nov 6 hits, then the spoiler tags become unnecessary
It's a spoiler and speculation thread- since game isn't out it's really a speculation thread
Yeah I think it's dumb too but whateverJust saw the ending,?Cortana is gone for good

Remembershe's essentially just Halsey in AI form
