h3's e3 trailer had a random road sign on the road...

This trailer makes us question cortana from where we left off from halo 2, new armor. with ruins which give it a forerunner feeling, and the covenant/ elite fleets makes us wonder what is going on as they all meet up at one point. with lightning and some hurricane storm(something is really about to happen) Cortana says this is how the world ends, which is suppose to signal the end of the halo trilogy

this trailer is cool too, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=DLFDzC_ok8c

Well, it's a paved road. You gotta have road signs on a road.

how is that different from halo 4 to 5? she died, what happens to cortana later? plus, halo 2's ending kind of gave away what happened to Cortana anyways.

too bad bungie ended it on a sour note(killing likable characters, leaving bad characters as bad characters, etc), then added reach to the wound.

plus, it was bungie that made the cliffhanger; of course halo fans would want a sequel, so bungie fans and former bungie employees gathered together and made 343 Industries so they could create what the fans wanted. despite former bungie members being in 343i, people still can't grasp the concept that 343 is essentially a smaller bungie with better funding and less intelligence.

Do you guys do anything but complain? Do you even do research?

Frank O Connor confirmed the cloak was to conceal his identity.

His armour is damaged, yes; which leads me to believe that this is roughly halfway in the campaign or something along those lines. Why would he conceal his identity? He's gone rogue. Research is that easy.

but I said this first!

he's actually got no more clean clothes for the week, and the UNSC had to cut budgets on their dropships

Concealing your identity is a must, especially when you're an 8ft tall murder machine with serious attachment issues...

All in all, the trailer was silly, but the game will be better (hopefully).

Wouldn't the poncho keep his armor from getting all the paint scratched off?

lol even if that's true...

Ever seen the budget cut Great Fox? that thing had one hell of an engine problem

Just for the record, that trailer does not make me want to play the game... On the contrary, it re-enforces my decision never to play a Halo game developed by 343i.

THIS was an epic trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z36WDj2PcU

while this is a lame trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhMU_FCjFs4

I understand that some people enjoyed Halo 4 but lets face the facts: 343i took the most beloved frachise in all of gaming and replaced all the things we knew and loved with lame, lazy, poorly imagined crap. The new theme song might as well be white noise in comparison with the original, MCs new armor looks totally rediculous, MC and Cortana's "relationship" was on the verge of being soap opera material, and the prometheans were just stupid.

(anyone want to know my theory for why the prometheans limbs are floating like that instead of being attached in a believable fasion? Because rigging and animating joints is time consuming... stiff floating objects are easy.)

Okay... sry about that. I'm done now.... I apologize if any fans of the game felt insulted by that, I just tend to get angry when people ruin things I care about.

While this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N-CRrP9xjQ Was a pretty awesome trailer.

But can't you all realise the obvious truth? He's not wearing it because he's a monk, he's not wearing it because he's gone rogue, he's not wearing it because he's a Jawa.

He's wearing Frodo's magic camo cloak! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N-CRrP9xjQ

Btw, nothing tops the ODST ad. I wanted to see Tarkov! He would've been bloody awesome!

Except we got crappy characters, a crappy story, and love. Dear lord.

The question is (for those on the fence over Xbox/ps4.)

Would you buy the Xbox mostly for Halo 5?

I was a devoted PlayStation fan had 1, 2 and 3 Then i played halo at a friends a month later i had a 360 and have never looked back

Microsoft you can put that on the box

But seriously overall it comes down to the exclusives and i like halo any way i found the last god of war, killzone 3 and grand torismo lacking in quality

Jun was killed in ghost of onyx.

Really? Wasnt the whole planet destroyed? I'm confused. Actually, maybe im thinking of something else. Was Jun even in that book?

No. The spartan that was with Halsey in that book was Kelly; the spartan Halsey kidnapped in the First Strike.

You're probably thinking of Will. Or Kurt (one of the best Spartan characters ever.)

Or Gladius Team.

Or Dante. Or Holly. Or Beta Company. Or Alpha Company.

I'd say about... Hmm, 637 Spartans dead in that book? Roughly. Any of 637 Spartans you might have mistaken for Jun.

jun dies in fistful of arrows, and other spartans are given the choice to integrate into the spartan IV program. all the good characters left to me are: lord hood, arby, kelly, linda, fred, and mendez.. all canonically alive, yet 343i has yet to mention of thier whereabouts..

I haven't read The Thursday Want (never intend to - That woman killed the good characters) but Kelly, Linda and Fred are probably integrated into the S4 program, Mendez probably going to be a DI for the S4s, Lord Hood dealing with the stuff that the Human Covenant war (and that woman...) left behind.. Same thing for Arby. Catherine Halsey locked up at an ONI researching facility.

Okay, I'm 100 percent sure that Linda 034 is a vegetable and tbh, I'm fine that a lot of characters in the books were killed off. It's not a war with untouchable heroes. Fall of Reach and Ghosts of Onyx are the Shingeki no Kyojins of the Halo world. No matter how important you think you are, you'll die or get mortally wounded.

Personally i think dr haysley is with the covenant
and wouldn't they keep the spartan IIs together because of how effective they are in comparison to the spartan IVs and probable send them on mission against the covenant to get new technology

Quote: --- Original message by: AllySuzumiya

nononooooo trust me i think its bs but canonically linda is alive. what happened is she gets "killed" and chief puts her in cryo immediately, then she is put on the pillar of autumn, reach falls autumn escapes, and comes under attack. the autumn apparently (and this is in the books) jettisons her into space.. events of halo combat evolved take place, chief finds her with his longsword along with johnson and an odst or two, they capture a covenant ship, go to reach, eventually meet up with halsey and halsey un freezes linda and operates on her. so in linda time, she was only dead for about a second... unbelievable but hey, its in the books, its 343i endorsed canon. and if you read the books, the spartans i said are alive are ON infinity. doesnt say what happens to them but there are last seen on the unsc infinity

hood is a solid character, and is also alive but currently (realitive to where the story as of halo 4 spartan ops) in a diplomatic pickle with arby about jul mdamas splinter of covenant being all.. kill humansy..

Oh, the beauty of editing doth ensure that once the slate is wiped clean, none shall remain.

Isn't it great watching somebody try to be a macho, serious Internet superhero, and then totally blow it out their arse?

Poor Dennis. He must be so disappointed...

On the topic of the thread, it's not all that mysterious, since it will not even be in Halo 5. At least not the 'mysterious' elements. A year and a few months away, oh boy, it'll change a bit. No Aquila. No... orange lighting for the Aquila.

On the note of his robe, it may be a camouflage cloak that they used in 'The Fall of Reach.' Now, obviously, that's not gonna work in that sand, but he may have come from a rocky mesa like the one in 4.

Educated guesses really have no purpose, though.

Is it possible to anyone... that the cloak might just be metaphorical? Or to keep sand from gumming up his armor.

Either way, its really not that big of a deal, its major point in the trailer was to hide the identity of the Chief at first and for all we know it could have been there only for that purpose and not show up anywhere else in any media about the game ever again.

The chip and the Robot Chicken serve the purpose of introducing and or reinforcing major probable plot points in the game. Cortana, specifically the chiefs grief over her loss and possible quest to restore or bring her back. And the Robot Chicken emphasizes that the forerunners/promethians still are a threat and could possibly be more of one than before, considering that the Didact is still alive and kicking somewhere. The chip will most likely make an appearance in the game, and the Robot Chicken probably will as well. Its doubtful that they will appear in this exact situation in the game though.

I thought Fistful of Arrows was non-canon...
That was fan-made, you know.

On the creator's website thing, it even says:
"An unofficial companion piece to Halo:Reach by Bungie"

Jun's fate has yet to be decided. He might be alive.

Edited by Dumb AI on Jun 16, 2013 at 11:18 AM

it was non canon but it fits so i accept it.. and it was a awesome

Lord Hood is going to be in Halo 5 alright.... When they go to his funeral after he dies of a heart attack because of old age! BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-huuuuuuuuu..... I don't care anymore.... As long as the Chief is still alive, I don't care. Most of the characters that shaped or represented Halo is dead anyway... Now it's just the Chief running around shooting random things because that's all he knows to do. Chief is getting old anyway, they may even kill him off in Halo 5 also. And then they get some other spartan from Halo 4 to play his role (I don't know. Maybe that one spartan chick with white armor?) or introduce some other random younger spartan person who would be able to drag the Halo series for the next 10 years or so. Or they might just clone him to a younger age, to drag the series on longer.

All this talk about previous characters. What about Arbiter?!

He's got his hands full. Assassins and civil wars and shiz.

it would be cool if possible arby missions were stealth-oriented, to change up the old W+M1 formula.
