Halo Wars Continued

[teh lag]

From HBO :

As we mentioned on Thursday, there was a new cinematic unveiled on GameTrailers TV last night - DHalo pointed it out while it was being broadcast, and then Impervium passed along the online link once it went live. It's a pretty impressive piece of animation - and it unveils quite a number of tidbits of the upcoming Halo Wars storyline. Go watch it - and then jump into the thread linked above and toss in your two cents! Update: looks like the entire episode is online - you can see more Halo Wars content, including Campaign gameplay, in there. Thanks, Bzerker01. (Louis Wu 14:59:29 UTC)

Dialog seems even more cheesy than normal Halo tbh, hope it's not going to be a recurring problem.

Cinematic assets look amazing, especially that Arbiter. Sadly, the brutes that were shown off a few weeks ago aren't anywhere near as good as these elites... I want my bear-gorilla-rhinos, not Planet of the Apes + beards + ewtastic armor.

It seems that they discovered something about the Flood?

[Ki11a_FTW]

looks awesome :-o, and no not the flood. the game takes place 20 years before halo 1

Cheesy Dialogue? That's how the Covenant ALWAYS speak. Personally I loved that trailer.

Given this game's already established desire to futz with the storyline, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Flood make an appearance only to become part of a MASSIVE ONI TOP SECRET COVERUP.

Also, am I the only one thinking the music is definitively un-Halo?

Also, why would the writers build up with "key to the whole war" on the part of the Captain? Obviously it won't be (or it will conveniently be sealed off with an everybody-dies ending) or humanity wouldn't be fighting for 20 more years.

Also, christ that "open the relic" scene was out of The Mummy or something.

E : Teek, I think this is a new level, and not just for the Covies. "Well, open sesame..."

[TeeKup]

I agree with you there though. Piano seemed like an excellent element in Halo 3 but for that trailer it really didn't fit. ONI Cover up seems obvious like you said though.

However I liked the ending there.

EDIT: Now that I looked back, the music seems too star wars-ish. :S

[ICEE]

is it just me or does that planet somewhat resemble the planet in halo 3's legendary ending?

What? All we saw was a big black sphere of a planet, the little detailing we DID see doesn't match Harvest at all. >_>

[Heathen]

I didn't think it was too starwars-esque.

Still loading the trailer though.

EDIT:

Also, ew. On the second video with gttv.

00:55. Look at the snow at the bottom left from the explosion.
