      The moment the community understands the marketing was world-building, maybe people will start to see Halo 5 differently.
      When have Halo trailers have been about what the game is about? Never. Halo 2 never said anything about the real conflict of the game and the real protagonist. Believe in Halo 3 shows a totally different story of how the Chief died. Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach is nothing but background. Halo 4 was about a little context of the past of John and the Infinity.
      Hunt the Truth was world-building. Even the thing of the Chief being a traitor is solved in the audio series, it never was meant to be the conflict of Halo 5.

    What I loved about the Bungie era Halo was that science fiction elements and human military elements were all plausible and real. The war itself was long, gritty, dirty, and violent. These trailers helped sell that and make the world and lore of Halo feel real. But then you hit Halo 4 and it just seems so cliche and well boring. Almost like it lost it's identity in an effort to appeal to a wider audience and not your already giant loyal fanbase. Then the hurt really got real when it Halo 4 came out and it was rated T for Teen and the same with Halo 5. On top of the entire aesthetic change like making the chief and UNSC even the Covenant look like default any scfi army. Then the media such as books and comics under 343 started retconing shit and made humanity OP as fuck just because they won. What made humanity special in the Original Bungie era Halo in my opinion is that unlike alot of scfi universes humanity was pretty much where we are tech wise today but just advanced enough to hold there ground but usually at a cost. Realisticly it takes ages for new high tech shit to be wide spread for military usage. I just thought that was so fucking cool! I especially liked that at one point humanity was the top dog in the universe but got reset. But more importantly Halo was a story that was meant to end after Halo 3. The entire tag line was "Finish the fight". With Truth dead, religion shattered, and High Charity gone the Covenant were shattered and gone. If you wanted to make more Halo you literally had over 20 in game years to makes games about the war. Good examples being Reach, ODST, and Halo Wars. After all the entire war was on a galactic level. The amount of fights, stories, and characters leading up to the climax of Halo 3 was pretty much endless. Fact is some stuff is just meant to end.

    • @TheMelancholicWriter
      @TheMelancholicWriter 4 года назад +15

      Halo 4 was a very different game. It’s focus was more on developing Chief and Cortana, who up until then were practically the same in every title. But 4 actually shined a light on the effects of war, and the psychological toll it’s taken on Chief.
      Halo 5 pretty much fucked things up though!

    • @Pansycacke
      @Pansycacke 4 года назад +2

      What you mean with "realistically" makes sense for today's standards. But we are talking about a story that takes place in the twentieth five century, where machines that are literally cloned brains, ships that can travel way faster than light via making its way through another dimension, and supersoldiers that can deal with highly advanced races, do exist. Halo somewhat looked realistic, but it never was totally realistic as everyone say. Anyways, it certainly had a more grounded approach than other franchises, and still has it, because 343 respected this approach. After the war ended, humans had the time, the resources, and the will to start making progress. It's obvious they were going to have more technology. It's a process similar to the industrial revolution. After so much time of not being able to do it, when they finally got the chance, it just exploded. The changes in the aesthetic are natural, and make sense for the story of the universe. Were you expecting humans to be the same after Halo 3? Obviously not, that would be dumb, and unrealistic. And it doesn't mean they're OP. They have lost many battles. Even the Spartan-IV deaths in the Requiem Campaign are comparable to the Spartan casualties on Reach. In Escalation, they lost a fight against the Covenant. Even the reason why the ONI started a civil war in Sangheilios it's because they were afraid of having to face another war. Humans took a step forward, but their technology still doesn't equate with Covenant tech, let alone Forerunner tech, and they keep their place.
      Claiming the look of the modern art style is "cliché and boring" is incredibly subjective. Halo art with Bungie can be said to be also generic since the sci-fic militaristic style was a trend back in the 90s (the time Halo was made). Even there's a movie, Starship Troopers, making fun of this trend. Many Halo designs are straightly "copied" from popular sci-fi stories from the 80s and 90s; Halo many times looks the same as Alien. Not because it appeals to a trend it means it's cliché. Everything is made under trends. Nothing is 100 % original, and it doesn't mean it's unoriginal. Halo had to move forward, to change in order to survive. That's called evolution. It needed another coat of paint, and the change was even gradual, passing from Halo 3, Wars, and Reach; it wasn't all of sudden as everyone say. But everyone is selective, they only see what they want to see. And they don't want to see that not because it changed it means is not what it used to be, and doesn't preserve what made it iconic and special in the first place.
      Even if you can say that Halo was meant to end in Halo 3, Halo 3 left too many loose ends that didn't really do honor that "Finish the Fight" line. And I'm not only talking about the Legendary Ending and many other elements that suggested the series would continue with a Halo 4. I'm talking about that the Covenant wasn't really dissolved (they defeated Truth, but they're still were many remnant forces through the galaxy that surely would merge again), about how the Flood wasn't defeated (the Flood can't be defeated since they come from out of the galaxy, this was something that even Bungie said back in Halo 3 times with Iris), that the armors of the Sartans we use in the multiplayer are made by emerging industries in the making of Mjolnir armors. Halo 3 didn't finish the fight. Halo 3 changed the fight. There was a lot of space to keep making sequels and not only spin-offs, but Bungie just wanted to move forward and leave Halo. That wouldn't be bad if they just would've closed the story, and not leaving so many loose ends. Bungie sometimes was lazy, or better said, fearful to tell a story pointing beyond, and left Halo without actually settling because of this. I'm not saying the campaigns and their stories are bad, but Bungie tried to make something more and failed. 343 had to continue the story.
      And where the retcons are? Do you even know what a retcon is? 343 indeed did what yourself said would be a good way to continue Halo: keep making stories within the war against the Covenant, because there are many things to be explored. This is not a retcon. All the things they have done within this span of time do have in mind the established lore. Something that sometimes not even Bungie themselves did with the books on their era, because "we only want games, not books".
      343 cares for Halo way more than Bungie ever did. But the "fans" can't see this, because they're not fans of Halo. They are fans of Bungie. And that's why they demerit and qualify as bad anything of Halo that is not made by Bungie. Even back then when Halo Wars was new, everyone hated it. And kept on hating it until Halo Wars 2 came out, only because Halo Wars 2 had the classic art style (the Bungie art style) with all the lights. Because the only thing you want is to play it safe because it's easier to understand what is familiar instead of giving a chance to something new.
      Isn't Halo the one that lost the way. It's the community. And I'm not even sure if the community ever had a way in the first place.

    • @testchannelpleaseignore2452
      @testchannelpleaseignore2452 4 года назад +1

      Yeah I agree and I think that 4 could have still focused on the effects of the war on John and stayed true to the old style of Halo. To other people saying halo is too futuristic, I mean it is futuristic but the creator did a very good job to keep to human technology feeling like an natural evolution of things we have today. Also the most compelling thing to me about the Bungie Halo story was how the war ended. Humanity didn't beat the Covenant in a straight fight they defeated them with a combination of luck and clandestien operations, taking advantage of the Covenants weaknesses. Iirc the Covenant had no equivalent to ONI so couldn't perform effective counterintelligence and this is what lost them the war. Making humans super op in makes sense logically, think opperation paperclip post WWII, but it doesn't fit the theme of the story. If they wanted to properly continue they should have made the enemy the flood or the didact or something else the humans couldn't just yeet, looking at you Covenant Remnant. The current story seems to be a bad combination of all those things into a confusing mess, the Forerunner are back but not really its just one guy and some robots, no wait the robots are people. Then cortanas going rampant, but now shes not, and now she ahs the logic plague, no wait she's just insane and wait ohh shit she took the mantle, wait how does one just take it (the foreunners had to genocide the precursors to win the mantle and burned for it)

      @@Pansycacke I think that Bungie seemed to be moving towards a more grounded Sci-fi series with ODST and Reach. 343 seemed to move away from that with 4 and, especially, 5 which is why I think a lot of fans, including me, started to lose interest in the universe and story. I know that 343 is more faithful to the books but a lot of fans didn't read them and were more familiar with the vibe of the live action trailers.

    That looks a lot like a guardian. I realize Halo 5 has lots of guardians but here chief is running TOWARDS the guardian ad he is trying to maybe board or attack it. In Halo 5 he is pretty much welcomed aboard any of the guardians he visits. Second this 'guardian' is on a human planet. Again I realize that meridian was a human owned planet with a guardian and this could have happened else where... But I feel like this trailer COULD (not saying it IS, just that it could) actually be plausible in future Halo stories/ infinite. I realize infinite is on zeta Halo with the banished but I guarantee the guardians must be involved somewhere and I think that this last trailer could be the end of the game or some story close to the time of the game. What if infinite is when chief meets his doom? The other Halo 5 trailers could also be plausible in this scenario but that would need a lot more imagination :P

    these are way better than this crap that 343 and paramount just released...what a letdown.

    I like the one where we see Chief get augmented and stuff, other than that, the 343 ones suck!

    Why has CGI gotten worse over the years? Babylon 5 looked more realistic than this.

      Because these are trailors, not full blown tv shows meant to rake in millions from ad revenue over the course of a serie's run?
