They should have had a trailer which would bring people to the franchise, not just cater for us people already here, they know we are going to by the game so why not expand the audience a little with a kick -Yoink- advert…

Yes, thanks for understanding. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good trailer, but it needs that special something that made the Halo 3 trailers stand out.
I’m still doubting that ‘‘Scanned’’ is the Launch trailer.
I’ll keep my hopes up for a real Launch trailer. Epic music, scenes of chief doing what a chief does. Covenant blowing up. Then at the final moment of the trailer… THE DIDACT says something dramatic.

As long as you follow the forum rules, they have no reason to ban you.

I don’t think it’s the launch trailer. I mean we still have a few more weeks before launch and this trailer was released around 1am. If you want a lot of people to see it and to like it, you gotta air long before 1am and during a big football game or something and add the epic music score.

Depends on what you’re saying.
Can’t call them Something trashy developers or something like that.
They’re just trying to maintain order on these forums, opposite Bungie who allowed it to become a flame fest.
Calling out 343? Lol. Stop being a baby, saying you were banned, ok. nobody wants to hear your sob story.
The commercial was pretty cool. If you didn’t know the story or already now what the characters looked like you’d be like wtf oh no they stole little children and turned them into Frankensteins. Must learn more yada yada yada.
I liked the trailer, the CGI was awesome in my opinion. Diehard Halo fans don’t need these trailers, they’re nice, but we’re buying the game regardless, its more to appeal to the general crowd. These trailers are never really taken as cannon, and if you look back at past trailers, the sequences shown never happen in game, so its a pump up trailer, just enjoy it at face value

It’s funny because many people complain about catering too much towards the new audience.
Now we got this amazing trailer and people are still not happy. How do we get everybody happy?

Exaclty, but some people just don’t understand that the game can never be perfect for somebody.
Everyone has a different taste and so you can never expect to like every single feature of the game.

Im not talking about the Game though - Im talking about promotional material opening Halo to a wider audience.
Take movies for example - most of the time they will market each film as though its new, even if its part of a majorly sucsesful franchise.

Agreed. 343i is doing their best to make everyone happy. There just has to be that little handfull of fans who can’t be happy.
I can’t even imagine the pressure as a developer of a game. Must be terryfying.
