Ted 2 and halo 5

Games Halo 5: Guardians
#1

I just watched Ted 2 and I got to say…LOTS of Halo 5 shots thrown in that movie like vip passes worn by chatacters, cosplay shots…billboards…Screen Shots right next to the main chatacters all set in the New York Comicon, which as we know happens mid october…

Is 343 trying to tell us something??

By what happens in the movie, it appears that Halo 5 may come with some risks involved.

Ummmmm

I think it’s just clever product placement, more than anything else.

#6

I guess after Nightfall was a less-than-stellar Hollywood attempt at Halo, Microsoft figured they couldn’t go lower.

Yeah Halo and cough Call of Duty cough has been the “front mark” of video gaming in comedic movies, it conveys a sense of socialism, modernity and humor.

I never thought that I would see Ted 2 and Halo 5 in the same sentence, but I guess I was wrong.

I guess I’m the only person who thought that Ted 2 was some kind of Ted Talks conference event.

Halo 2 was in ‘The Longest Yard’.

The amount of Halo in that movie was only overshadowed by the amount of Transformers and MLP.

Hasbro’s depiction in that movie was really meta at times. At some point you’d think they say they didn’t want to be depicted like that, people think of them like that as it is.

Same goes for 343, do they really want Halo to be seen on that giant TV in that particular scene? I guess it’s all screen time at the end of the day.

You’re not alone. I forgot this was a movie and was hoping to see the same thing when I clicked the link.

343 really should to a TED Talks though.

Yes…because it’s exposure. Also 2 major chatacters have halo 5 VIP passes right on their chests during some of the scenes, all in perfect view.

Halo has been used as a plot base of ‘video gamer’ -Yoink- stars too. It’s in movies, television shows, etc. It’s just a product placement, as well as a way of free advertising, and showing the people playing as ‘hip’ or with the times. They had Halo 2 in The Shield, but if you watch the guy on the controller, or his friends (it was a single player campaign), he and his friends were playing with the arbiter being the only character on the screen. Lol
