Has anyone noticed that Bungie is really good at makeing trailers? 
 

The trailer for Halo 3 still nearly brings tears to my eyes. When I saw the trailer for ODST I thought it was really cool. This Reach trailer left me underwhelmed.

The Halo 3 teaser was amazing and one of the best I've ever seen.

Not really..

No, video game trailer are almost always extremely embarrassing and Bungie's are no exception.

Yeah I love their trailers too.

Yes very good

As long as you don't count any of the god awful live-action shit they've done, I guess they've been pretty good.

"Halo 2: Chief jumps out of starship, into space. This is followed in latter months by one of the best E3 demo's ever.
Halo 3: Chief dramatically wanders into view, looks over the side of a cliff and watches a Forerunner structure activate including an entire battalion of Covenant ships. Trailer shows off impressing new technical improvements, specifically in the environment. 
Halo ODST: For a single player expansion, the hype and even run up to the initial trailer was pretty excellent. One teaser at a time, cultivating in a very nice dramatic trailer showing nighttime stalking and a revamped musical score. Haunting and inviting.
 
Halo Reach: After a teaser that essentially...Announced what the project is, the next trailer features a bunch of Spartans getting together. Going off to fight.
 
From a technical perspective, the game looks modern...and that's about it. Nothing new was shown. A big praise I keep hearing is that the faces look more detailed. That's not a praise, that should be a given. 
 
The problem with prequels is that we know how they end. Reach is decimated, the Spartans all but extinguished. There was nothing new or fundamentally grabbing with this trailer, aside from a reiteration of the setting, which has promise but has yet to shown it can deliver, especially from a presentation side. Bungie can make great trailers. This was not one of them.  "

I just watched the trailer and i think it looks terrible.  
I really cant see how halo is so popular ?  
I do try to like it. Now and a again i do try to play halo 3 but i just find it terribly boring.

But one thing they hopefully do for all of you is shock you.
 
Especially the ones who just keep shooting down the game.  You still don't know whats coming, so don't say it won't work.

The funny thing is that this isn't a trailer, its part of the opening cinematic of the game. ;D

" Not really.. "

yes, bungie always makes amazing trailers

I don't know what they were trying to show us?

Yup a fantastic opening movie.

"The funny thing is that this isn't a trailer, its part of the opening cinematic of the game. ;D "

His armor was shiny! = )

I thought this trailer was fantastic, they showed in game footage for once and the sheer majesty of what is possibly the last Halo game by Bungie sounds and looks great, this is the final push, this is Bungie's chance to finally live up to the promise of Halo 2 and 3 which I think no matter how avid a Halo fan can admit did not live up to the incredible game that was Halo: Combat Evolved, the end of this new trailer showing a symbol of doom hanging in the background, who cares if we know the outcome it has been said many times its not the destination its the journey itself, and to me the final stand of the Spartans against impossible odds is what I wanted in 3, this may be the best Halo and I hope it is, I am tired of the naysayers because I can't always say they are wrong. Halo is a great franchise and Everyone should want this to be amazing, and if Bungie can recapture the magic of the first I am all for it.

They could learn a thing or two from Team ICO.

This trailer was nothing special at all, I found it boring and I kind of enjoy Halo games.

Makeing.

Are you kidding? It was so lame. And the the Elite at the at the end? That was so lame and cheesy.

I for one thought that the trailer was awesome. I loved how it really didn't focus on anything other than "HOLY SHIT, THERE WILL BE OTHER SPARTANS!". It wasn't like, ok here's this giant enemy, you have to kill it, it is really big, trailer ends. Like most trailers. It was just really subtle and showed how different the visuals are, and this is still a year away from it's release. 
 
I'm surprised no one is talking more about the music though. Epic beyond fuck! I think it's a lot of what makes it what it is... seeing the spartans fly away slowly towards this massive battle, not really knowing who they are yet knowing that you will get to know them soon. I dunno. It was just done really well.

The live action ODST trailer was one of the best trailers I have ever seen. I really want a Halo movie done in that style. It is fun to watch, and captivating. I'm not sure why i'm going crazy over it, I just really really dug it.

Again, this wasn't a trailer. It was a PART of the OPENING cinematic. Like last year's Uncharted 2 reveal. A part of the opening cinematic. Told us nothing but Drake's in deep shit. Same here, expect instead of Drake being in deep shit, its a planet that's in deep shit and there are Spartans waiting to do something.

I wonder if they are going to include the spartans that survived reach?

Gearbox is better.

Honestly, I've never been that big of a Halo fan. I love my 360 (primarily for downloadable titles), but Halo really never did anything for me. However, I did like the Halo 3 teaser. The 'Halo Reach' trailer didn't really do much for me. Since I haven't been steeped in Halo lore myself, I probably didn't get what others got out of it. Probably. I don't know.
 
I will say that I think that Blizzard makes really great trailers. The Wrath of the Lich King trailer was pretty fantastic. I've been trying to think of other trailers that grabbed me, but I really can't think of anything. The only other thing that comes to mind was the Gears of War trailer with the "Mad World" song from Donnie Darko. That's only because of the song though. 
 
Also, I recall seeing the trailer for Muscle March for WiiWare. Is that a trailer or a commercial? Usually, trailers have a big reveal and it's a huge deal. Muscle March was just something I saw on YouTube earlier this year. Would you consider that a trailer? If so, the Muscle March developers win the "Best Trailer Makers" award.

I liked the trailer quite a bit, seeing as how they kept much shrouded in mystery as far as gameplay, and only released some tidbits for the true Halo fans. Not to mention showing off the new engine, which looks pretty fine. As far as a trailer for a game that is still a year away, I think it's pretty epic.

the only one iever liked was the live action odst one

you mean lame? sure it looks alright but where's the gameplay or anything else I care about
