Just finished Hunt the Truth, amazing series overall.
It’s really sad 343 put so much effect and great story telling and actor talent to not even mention all that in Halo 5 is both sad and insulting to all those who did an amazing job setting up the game.
IGN are experts at lying, so they would know. They’re like the ONI of gaming media.

Yep it’s all about getting more people to read their reviews and such. Controversial or surprising posts get more readers.
^so you’ve played the game
Locke is Hunt Chef and he is branded a traitor?
HOLY COW THAT WAS HARD TO READ TOTAL CRINGEEE!
This was pretty much how I felt throughout all 9 hours of my campaign experience. What a disappointing story that felt shallow, eye-rolling, and completely irrelevant at times in regards to the story at large.
That’s ironic considering the title is a lie.

Meh.
Wait, wait, wait, how is this a controversy? From what I can remember the trailers for every Halo game show events that never took place in the games. For example in Halo 3, the Chief was never captured by a Brute on the battlefield and appeared to be dead, but that’s exactly what happened in one of the trailers.

This.
I sometimes think IGN pulls stuff out of thin air to get more views.
But, to each their own, I suppose.

I agree. The marketing campaign was extremely misleading and the story of Halo 5 just felt very “meh” overall. The planet we see the Chief/Locke adds on (the same planet as this concept art) isn’t even in Halo 5 at all. Infinity wasn’t damaged at all in Halo 5, yet in those trailers we saw it looming overhead heavily damaged like it had just been through a big fight.

How? They made a whole 2 season podcast then never talk about those events in game or even if they ever took place
Like I said in my above post…why waste great actors, and writers on something your just going to ignore in the core game? It lets down all of us fans who listened to the entire series it pumped me up for Halo and now it’s like it didn’t excise? Cool
Are ya’ll really that butthurt that trailers didn’t take place in the game. I mean its really Common Sense that its not. Especially if you listed to Hunt the Truth thats when 90% of these marketing campaigns come from. The Locke vs Chief one… Its marketing.

Bungie did the exact same things with Halo 3 and Reach. The one of chief fighting a wraith and a few brutes, I recall, in a CGI trailer. The “dead” chief trailer where he blows them up with a grenade. Halo Reach where the bomb is taken to the Covenant carrier was not in, or mentioned, in game.
My point is this: If IGN wants to bash one Halo game for not having those trailers tie into the game, they need to bash all the other Halo games that did the same. And IGN likes to slant towards anti xbox these days it seems, at least in my opinion.

That concept art is Meridian. It was probably changed to being glassed later.
And I think you really missed the point of the Locke vs Chief trailers showing a damaged Infinity. It was heavily, if not entirely, symbolic.
I can agree with the article, but the fact that this is coming from IGN, who apparently didn’t feel the need to write an article on Destiny’s terrible marketing strategy, really makes me doubt gaming journalism today.
THIS JUST IN!! GAME DEVELOPER MAKES AD THAT GIVES YOU IDEA OF WHAT GAME WILL BE LIKE WITHOUT ACTUALLY USING EVENTS IN GAME TO GIVE AWAY STORY!!!
You’re kidding right? This is nothing new and Halo isn’t even the first to do ads this way. Get the heck out of here.
The ads lied to you, and you should be mad!
1. No poncho.
2. The two opposite/contradictory teaser scenes don’t both happen.
For more on our Halo 5 -Yoink–fest, keep it locked on IGN!
