Usually I'm beyond hyped when I get a new Halo trailer... Not so much this time. It's a Campaign montage, instead of a cinematic trailer. Like the Halo 2/3 announcement trailers, or the recent Digital Domain-created Halo 3 TV Spot. They were all non-gameplay though.
This new "montage" is just a collection of 3-second chunks of combat strung together. Didn't help that the encoding quality of this new video was pants. Looked like it had been upscaled from VHS.
Okay now I can comment on the good stuff in the trailer:
- Yes some of the scenes look detailed
- the Pelicans ducking between battlecruisers
- scenes with Arbiter/Master Chief/343 Guilty Spark/Cortana in the same room...
- new Scarab looks cool! might be boardable/destroyable...?
- Covenant drop-ships now seem to be destructable too
- levels DO look laterally huge
- MC putting a pistol to Arby's throat :)
There's too many scenes that show muddy textures and goofy, cartoon-style animation. Brutes are huge! They shouldn't be moving like ninjas.
