Everybody is talking about the art style in the E3 2019 trailer (which is absolutely beautiful) but what about sound? Particularly that shield recharge sound. Now that’s something I haven’t heard in a long time and damn did it feel good.
Heck yeah! I don’t think anybody will argue you on that!
I heard it, I loved it, I’m excited
The sound design is great so far! Music too!
That sound gave me some of the biggest goosebumps. 343 seems to definitely be going the right direction.
It was -Yoinking!- glorious!
I know right, that sound feels so good, I didn’t expect that to happen
Seem to be one of the few that didn’t love it.

What’s your favourite version of the shield recharge sound?

The classic. I’ve just heard it a lot recently from playing MCC, so it didn’t have much impact to me.

Sure, but it’s great that it’s coming back to Halo.

I suppose. It just wasn’t a surprising moment to me because I expected it to be that sound, even regardless of playing MCC. ‘With the direction 343 have been going, why wouldn’t it be?’ was my line of thought.
Anyway, it’s nice it’s back.

Good call on the prediction front by you!

Ah I see. What I’m happy about is the fact it’s coming back, I like it much better than H4/5 versions.
Grinned ear to ear when I heard it. Both last year’s and this year’s trailers were a home run to me specifically as regards art style, musical style and sound design.
It feels like it’s taken 343 ten years to finally figure out that all they had to do, was continue to give us more installments of what we already loved without changing everything just for the sake of changing things because they thought they could make them what they perceived to be “better”.
Better late than never, I suppose.

Yes, I agree. And again, it’s another indication that they are catering to the old fans.

Just need the right people in the right positions. It looks like that’s the case with Infinite so far.
Definitely one of those feelgood moments in the trailer though im not sure if these additions/throwbacks to the older games are something that will be in the final product itself or whether they are just placeholders for the trailer while final designs are still in development.
Just wondering that given the number of these throwbacks. Could also be an attempt to reach out for the older core fanbase from the golden age of Halo when the sales were pretty much double from what they were with some lesser selling installments.
It was music to my ears!
