    I'll quote Homer Simpson:
    " Oh my God, oh my God, oh my god " That looks so great!
    Everybody should watch this in HD, you will be blown away!

    Simply breathtaking. I hope the game is 1/2 of what this trailer is as far as being emotional and engaging.


    Good words to use. Blown away.

    Thing is with ODSTs is that they don't have the self-recharging Mjolnir suits like Chief has :p

    I hope some big wigs in Hollywood see this video and are like, "Uhh, we need to make a movie, and hire the guys that did this."

    The game is going to be great. I can't wait!

    It was better than the stuff that was on the net a while ago for Halo 3 for sure - and the stuff Niel Bloomkamp did tbh. Very realistic, and I love the closeup of the Brute very cool.

    Yeah, when I first heard about ODST I just did a :rolleyes: thinking it was simply a feeble expansion pack priced as a full game.

    But after seeing that trailer and from what I've been hearing via gaming podcasts, based off hands-on play @ PAX, it is now on my 'to buy' list.

    Too bad I dont think a movie will ever be made like this, at least for the foreseeable future. I mean The Hangover, which was extremely light on any computer alterations, cost 50 million. Imagine the budget just to bring a full feature hollywood movie with decent actors and effects of this trailer's caliber to the big screen... $$$$$$$$. Oh well, we can always dream right???

    Could it be? A Halo character with some depth? A character people can relate to? No more faceless two dimensional clones with the personality of rocks like Master Chief? I may have to keep the FAILBox 360 kicking around a little longer just to see this, but given it's Halo and a console game, I won't expect to much, if anything at all. Nice trailer though, to bad you get no feel for the game from it.

    I like the CG trailer for the original Halo 3 better, although this trailer is pretty cool as well.

    I was going to make fun of this right of the bat, but that was a cool trailer. I must admit however I have a 360 and its modded so I can get any game I want and I will still never play this game. FPS on console? No thanks.

    The trailer looked great... but what does that have to do with the game? I mean, it's just live action. Anyone can make a live action trailer look great, but until we see actual game footage, how can one be impressed?

    Now if this was the trailer to the new Halo movie, then I would understand all the hoop-la.

    Looks kewl,but if Microsoft wants to limit the game to its console and not release it for its operating system,then they can just shove it...
