Halo 4: Forward unto Dawn

I was actually just watching this on a different site. Interesting to be assured, but at the same time it has all the components of something that can be so very stupid.

[Zorbanos 1st MRB]

i always love these live actions shorts in the Halo universe. my favorite was the ODST one

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

The Halo franchise as proven just like with CoD that they can make a ton of money without giving 100%

[Pangilinan 1st MRB]

Unlike CoD though, the halo franchise has a wealth of tie-in novels and stuff like these shorts that give greater complexity to the universe. Having read most of the novels (I need to pick up Glasslands and apparently the 2010 reprint of First Strike added a short story and fixed a lot of the discrepancies) I can say that Halo is more story driven than CoD. Then again, Engle may just be looking at the games themselves and the people who play em, then yes, they can suck.

i have a wonerfully horrible feeling that a movie is in the works...

[Mottola 1st MRB]

That actually looks pretty cool

ive always wanted to see a halo movie.

the halo universe is pretty rich, i think any movie set there would end up being pretty sick

I wont say big franchises suck, but they seem to make more of the same each time a sequel is put out. And yes the Halo books are pretty awesome.

ill buy it for the singleplayer...probably not the MP...its all the same to be honest and dont feel like forking over an extra 50 to have xbox live gold.

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

Most MP cames these days all have one thing in common: Annoying little brats whose sole job is to troll you into destroying your machine. Now if I must play a MP game for a long period of time I like having the option of banning those said kiddies so I can continue my session.

I really hope they don't make a movie with this trailer. It looks...really bad.

[R. Baker 1st MRB]

I love the Co-op in Halo games! I cant wait for this to be released so I can complete another one! I would love a Halo movie, it would be amazing!!!

How is it bad? Considering that they used non-bigname actors, utilized sets from Halo:Recon's advertisement campaign, and are attempting to tie in two points in the canon timeline that are around 33-40 years apart, I damn say it's a good job. Include that 343 Industries probably doesn't have much money since splitting off from Microsoft Game Studios, I say this is a pretty fair series of webisodes.

[Dawson 1st MRB]

Yea, peaker, WTF? I'd like to see your movies look this good.

[Takel 1st MRB]

Yea, peaker, WTF? I'd like to see your movies look this good.

OH, BUUUURRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

[Peaker]

Well first the actors look like they're terrible. Keep in mind that the trailer is supposed to make you want to watch the movie. The fact that I can predict what will happen in the movie from the trailer is already bad. There's the usual cliched romance, then Master Chief comes out of nowhere to save the day from the evil menace (Presumably alien). Of course, the renegade student (With his pal MC) will end up saving everyone...just like in 6528 movies before. If I can predict the plot of a movie from the trailer, then there has to be something in the trailer to make me want to revisit that plot. There's probably gonna be good special effects if it ever gets made I guess...

And Dawson, that's the old argument that if you're not a master of X, you can't tell if X is good or bad. You don't have to be an expert moviemaker to say that The Room was a terrible movie (But oh so hilarious), same with anything. If there's ever a movie made from this, I probably won't go see it. Of course, being that the role of a movie is primarily to entertain...you guys can knock yourselves out and watch it if you enjoy that kind of stuff.

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

Someone hit a nerve

[Zorbanos 1st MRB]

The only thing i can say about your analysis peaker is this isn't a movie trailer. Its a game trailer. Whenever the HF realeses these trailers, its meant to build excitement for the upcoming game and play around with live action scenes in the Halo universe. Its not meant to parallel a movie trailer. Also, judging from what ive looked into, nothing in the trailer suggests what the storyline of the game will be, i dont see any connections between the rumored story for Halo 4 and the trailer. But i havent seen all of the webisodes. Naturally the acting is crappy, but again, this isn't supposed to be some actor driven movie, its a short webisode trying to build excitement for the future of the Halo franchise.

It's not a game trailer. It's a small movie for youtube.
