For those who were interested in the story approach to Spartan ops, this is all CG work done outside of 343, looks solid. There are pretty minor spoilers in this as it was officially released by 343.

I'm really not sure that I am into the whole dude-bro, douche bag Spartans though, but maybe that will offer some interesting contrast to the Master Chief. For those who don't know these are Spartan 4's, they are quite different than Spartan 2' and 3's in that they volunteered to become geneticly enhanced into Spartans long after they had served for many years in the UNSC, they were not taken as children.

That's some good military scifi in there. Just wish I didn't have to get my dosage delivered via video game cinematics ever since Starship Troopers.

I thought it was cool seeing them go through the process of putting on the armor.

Can someone explain the differences in the Spartans. Was Master Chief a kidnapped kid, like the ones talked about in the start of the campaign?

• Why are they moving so awkwardly, is it because they are robots?
• When the one guy says he was making sure the ladies of Rio feel "safe and secure" was he implying he was raping them? He punches his fist.
• Why dose the Infinity AI look like he is ready to take down an ATAT on Hoth while Cortana wears nothing at all?
• Why don't the Spartans where any kind of markings, seems useful to know who your superior is during a time of war.

Really happy they've set up a completely different tone for the Spartan Ops thing. If it was just more of the same from the singleplayer, I'd almost question why they included it as a separate mode.

AI get to choose what they look like. That one chose to look like a WWII bomber pilot, Cortana chose to be.... nekkid.

Yeah, I think the AI in Halo Wars even had some clothing on... Have no idea why Cortana is naked, oh well ;)

Genetically enhanced super soldiers you say? Yeah science fiction has never portrayed them as "dude bro douche bags".

These are volunteers. People who wanted to get involved and were chosen on service record or performance. It's not unthinkable there's a load of muppets out there between the Johnsons, Stackers and Chiefs.
 
But damn that's some quality right there. It looks so good I'm willing to believe they filmed the actors and cgi'd right over 'em. The faces look insanely good (especially Palmer and Lasky).
 
@Dagbiker: I'm fairly sure they have such features embedded in the whole HUD thing. Even most marines wear visors, helmets and such in Halo 4 and even without those it's not hard to learn who's who, especially if these S-IV's are able to modify their armor to their liking.

I would buy an movie made entirely in that level of CGI....multiple times and in multiple formats....

Definitely nice to see the newer Spartans though I don't think the game emphasized just how necessary/useful they are in comparison to Chief.

Is this a redlettermedia esque jibe?

I liked it. I'd like to see more.
