that is simply KICK. ASS.

[Deepblue]

I made a *squeek* noise the first 3 times I watched.

[freespacegundam]

In the latest Game Informer magazine I recieved, one of the reviewers had the audacity to claim that Resistance Fall of Man had dropped a bomb down Master Chief's pants...

I can now affirmatively say that the Master Chief has just shoved a Meson Bomb up Sony's ass.

[brozozo]

Damn you, dial-up, damn you!

[Fineus]

Very impressive but.. which bit of that was live action?

[Deepblue]

The beginning with the kids. I think it's John/Kelly/ as children in the Spartan program.

Hopefully it means that Halo 3 will acknowledge some of the sweet elements of the books.

[Mefustae]

That's it?! Christ, the way you guys were babbling...

[Deepblue]

Are you kidding?

[Mefustae]

Edit: And, again, perhaps this could be rolled into the bigger Halo thread we have going.

[Deepblue]

Reasons this is WAY better than the E3 trailer:

+Acknowledges elements from the books.
+Demonstrates game play elements (visible weapons, Sprinting?!, darker tone?)
+Shield grenade!!!
+Attaching assault rifle to back
+First look at new brutes
+High action, rather than just standing and looking.

Reasons this is not better:
- Not the game-engine.

[Turey]

visible weapons

I thought that was in Halo 1.

[Deepblue]

No... All weapons not currently in use disappeared to magic land. Now they appear either on the back or on the leg.

[Mefustae]

I don't really feel like getting into a debate over this, but what the hell:

+Acknowleges elements from the books. Irrelevant, as the average person wouldn't have read the books and thus it's only an homage to a niche audience. Nice addition to be sure, but irrelevant for the uninitiated masses, of which I am a part.

+Demonstrates gameplay elements (visible weapons, Sprinting?!, darker tone?) Irrelevant, given that it is entirely CG. Granted, the Shield-grenade - most certainly a coolies moment - likely foreshadows the appearance of that gameplay element ingame, but one can't honestly count on anything given this is clearly not ingame, nor inengine. Thus, one cannot claim 'gameplay elements!' when it is clearly not gameplay. For instance, I draw you back to that Call of Duty TV-spot a few months ago which was entirely CG. Was that an accurate depiction of gameplay elements?

+Shield grendade!!! See above.

+Attaching assualt rifle to back See above.

+First look at new brutes Not really sure what you mean, given that a fraction-of-a-second glimpse doesn't really count as a 'first look'. I don't really understand what's 'new' about them, either.

+High action, rather than just standing and looking. I'll give you this one, lots of action is rather exciting. Regardless, it has little substance. The E3 trailer displayed the technology of the engine, a glimpse of the story to come, and had some kick-ass music. Frankly, it was just better quality. I know a trailer like that most certainly wouldn't play on a 20-second teaser, and action undoubtedly plays better to the masses than a slow reveal and/or story elements that would mean nothing to the uninitiated, but still...

It's good, but nothing to go all bibbledy over. Sheesh.

[achtung]

I like it.

[Deepblue]

For 56k people:

[Dough with Fish]

That's it?! Christ, the way you guys were babbling...

QFT, man, QFT. Looks nice and all, but meh, little too short.

[Deepblue]

Philly fans would have been REALLY pissed had it been longer.

[Mongoose]

Philly fans would have been REALLY pissed had it been longer.

I can validate that personally.

[Fury]

That's it? From Deepblue's and Cobra's reactions I was expecting second coming of Messiah.

BTW, don't link to some asx **** that cannot be viewed on any other than windows boxes. Thank you.
