What the puzzle looks like so far.

Someone else actually linked this (Dark Ninja 196, I believe). All I can say, is WOW! This looks incredible. Notice how Chief and Blue team are on Locke’s side, and Locke’s team is on Chiefs side. http://www.haloarchive.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/gwTV8WY1.jpg

Screw all of the petty sprint discussions, this is game of the year material right here. The art is amazing. Zoom in to see the fine details.

I predict my laptops wallpaper changing when the image is complete… Just saying.

sweet

Really hoping that the Arbiter fits in to all of this

It’s speculated that there is a 5th figure on Locke’s side, and there is a high possibility that it’s Thel :slight_smile:

My current background is a Covenant Battlecruiser firing pulse lasers. It basically looks like a space rave, but with more death. Anyhow, I’ll be swapping by background as well.

Mine is the larger version of the Halo 4 cover art. But yeah, it’ll be changing soon. :slight_smile:

Mine used to be Chief in front of the Cryptum in Halo 4.

The same

Some serious Stuff is coming. Can’t wait !!

Any speculation on where Blue Team are in the picture? It looks like Locke’s team are on Sanghelios, can’t work out where Blue Team are.

Yea that’s definitely my new wallpaper when it’s finished.

Are there any good analysis of the picture so far?

Some questions I have…

  • That architecture of the city: Strange mix of shapes - blocky and round, ancient greek and oriental.
    Could those towers be Sangheili clan-towers?
    Is this even a Shangheili town? The Banshees in the city seem to confirm that.
    I mean in the MCC trailer… the city in the background had been confirmed as Sangheili. There are similarities… but it looks different at the same time.
    City seems to be under attack? There is fire on one rooftop.

  • Is the Forerunner construct the same as the one we saw in the announcement trailer? Seems like it fanned out…
    Strangely reminds me of that bird construct in Bioshock.

  • That the teams are on the ‘wrong’ side seems to be an art choice - dark-blue background = Locke, warm-orange background = Chief
    Strange nonetheless.

  • That background on Locke’s side looks really interesting… very tomb-like, ancient, stone doorway… however could be time of day too (night)

What I’m also asking myself… could this be high-res in-game backgrounds and models?

Jesus, I want that damn game!!

Even though it’s an orange hue, I’m looking at it as Red (Locke) vs. Blue (John)

Wow!
For years we had but one Spartan in our games, now this is feeling like an early Halo fans Christmas!!

The architecture to me at least looks like something the Sanghelli would build, like the UNSC ships, we build more blocky buildings. But the Sanghelli ships are curvy and more round looking. Same as the architecture in the picture minus the purple though. This is just my opinion.

This is definitely happening to my laptop.
