😂

hahaha, man I just watched about half the first episode last night.....how awful.

😂

Nah.. MC is still sleeping. Series was over after Reach

I was ok with the series until episode 8. I lost all respect then and there. Fuck this show

They made District 9 is what they made. It's all they could do after they had Halo ripped from them.

Literally what I was thinking! Glad I'm not the only one to return to simpler times

I was gonna bring up some bad CGI parts, but you know what. This thing is 10 fricking years old and I felt more Halo from rewatching this, than watching Master chief action scenes in the new Halo show. I feel so robbed that we didn't get a show with this quality.

​@@sados649715 years old actually.

​@@sados6497CGI would've been better, the same guy who made Lord of the Rings was directing this too, this was the only edited section they got somewhat finished

This does feel like a Neil Blomkamp movie

I knew I heard some of Peter Jackson’s LOTR music.

Blomkamp would have made an amazing film. Such a shame what we got instead.

you actually have better than that today, but you terminated morons can't stop crying about it not being like you want it to be. At least I can enjoy how butthurt you are you salty kids

The best part is that I believe that this was part of District 9's development, and that is how District 9 was made. I may be wrong, so don't crucify me. But, this was wild for the era. The CGI is on point. What gets me is the Spiker being shot semi-auto, because the brutes knew humans were practically soft-body targets.

Facts. Straight facts.

Straight up looks like footage from the Ukraine war.

Especially when the music kicks in at the end

BEST MEDIC EVER. 💯

straight up footage from a paintball arena@@logangoulet7522

True! Also, came for this comment🤣🤣🤣🤣

And the live action trailer for Reach. Still amazing

Facts

That and the odst trailer

Thank you! This is the truth, from up high.

Yeah, it really does a good job of showing how humanity was losing during the Human Covenant war. People are used to seeing guys get hit by plasma but as soon as that ODST got hit with a spiker round it really makes you go “oh shit”

@Kagamine Rin loves oceania part of indonesia uwu:3 Spartans are seem to be considered as if they're the last resort, humanity's only hope for survival.

They usually explode too

Hm, I would have made the spikes with barbs so you can’t take it out. Then make it hollow so you can’t cut it. Make them like porcupine quills.

I wonder how Miranda felt lol

@@arths17777 Yo boy, what are you doing?

yeah... seriously this video is just...amazing...

Well, i wouldnt watch 9 episodes of shaky camera. Its also a way to hide bad cgi. The rawaness of the action is cool though and the brutes move naturally.

@@samulimustonen2047 First episode of this this show makes Forward unto Dawn looks like masterpiece. CGI looks awful. Elites look weird. Cars look like repurposed modern cars, same goes for insurrectionist weapons. So far best visually live action footage from Halo is short "Halo Landfall" and "Deliver Hope". They even look better visually than this woke abomination.

@@kamilpotato3764 I like forward unto dawn too!

Damn... That's is why I'm afraid to start it. I'll still probably watch it but Landfall is still epic imo. It still looks great and I'm able to believe the world they create in such a short time.

15 or 16 was first released in 2007

They better use the Warthog being stored in Weta Workshops basement

There's no way they'll reach this level. Still, it'd be awesome if they did!

Back when the developers knew the game was about war and not space fantasy.

I really worry that they're going to do something much safer than this.

They'll ruin it and then it'll get panned hard by critics and audience alike and get cancelled. Since when has Hollywood respected original video games story and characters. Heck they even found thier way into video games and Ruined Halo 5. They always try doing it their own way and it always ends up being sub-par. Let's see how the story evolves after the shitshow that was Halo 5. Waiting for Halo Infinite...

Well said!

From what I hear, this style was highly influential to District 9. I imagine from the glowing review that you would like it.

Sorry I'm 10 months late, but I wanted to disagree with you. Making Halo feel realistic shouldn't be the goal per see. I think what we all enjoy about this short video, is the effort gone into making live action adaptation of a game we've grown up with, and played for thousands of hours. The creators of the new show, didn't. You really hit the hammer on the head by calling it a passion project. This was a group of dedicated people who wanted to make something cool. With, in all honesty, basic physical/ practical effects, as well as superb computer graphical ones. I fully believe a dedicated team with the same passion can create something like this, to the same degree. It should require lots of money, but for a motivated teams, cheaper alternative can be found. This should not be a one off thing, something like this can be created again.

👏

@Sedition Case Right, real weird seeing people saying a decade in the comments. This came out around the time of Halo 3. (obviously) Fifteen years ago. We're getting old.

Of course. Creator of this ..he is a master.

This became district 9 instead

The entire 90s Halo 3 Belive Diograma was better than the Halo TV series

@@trehanero Peter Jackson was producing, Neil Blomkamp was director, and Alex Garland wrote the script. Alex Garland who wrote 28 Days Later and was actually a hardcore Halo fan and wanted to make a legit horror movie in the second half. What we could have had huh? The original script is still there by the way. It actually follows the first game pretty closely.

@The Watcher Dunno mate, Alien invasions tend to cause Abit of internet troubles.

considering they'd been fighting the covenant for over two weeks on earth i'd say orbital resources were minimal if any. The UNSC fleet by the time of halo 2 wan't even a hundred strong (not counting prowlers and corvettes seeing as they don't even field MACs). Less than ten cruisers, under 80 frigates and destroyers, and some unknown number of prowlers (do field nuclear mines). The 300 orbital platforms might as well been dead in the water after a cluster goes dark or just cant get coverage over that part of africa.

@Joseph Dundee And you're a dumbass

@@tavianarmstrong974 the unsc home fleet was around 180 ships and 300 odps. The covenant probably had around 90 ships at earth overall

Joseph Dundee it’s a story that happens to involve extra story in interesting military tactics, let people nerd out over it, and stop being killjoy. Also, why are you here bitching?

Every human fought a Heroic fight that day and became Legendary...

@@VengefulMaverick just fucking goneded

It's f****** hilarious honestly

Why can't real Halo fans appreciate the lack of effort and lots money spent to show CHEEKS by paramount Halo show. When Kim Kardashian shows her Cheeks it's ok but when Master CHEEKS shows his everyone hates it. Hypocrites. Let's hope 343s new wide audience likes ASS.

This was made by Neill Blomkamp, he went on to make District 9 & Elysium. Hardly some pimply nerd living in his mom's basement.

He never said it was tho? He is just saying paramount sucks ass at trying to make a halo show

Because there’s absolutely no love that went into it IMO

the main reason isn't lack of skill,talent or funds to make a good show. the main reason is they have to shove (THE MESSAGE) whenever possible,and the bigger the franchise,the bigger the target for distortion and make it a sick parody. And they love to destroy anything that inspires and stirs the imagination. They don't bow to (THE MESSAGE) they get cut off.and a person's got to eat. so yes,they're getting payed to destroy beloved franchises. "Go woke,go broke" it's a myth.if it were true,people like Kathleen Kennedy would have been kicked along time ago by the shareholders,because the ONLY bottomline,is and always has been,making money. it's more like "You HAVE to go woke,or you REALLY go broke.and homeless.and possibly beaten by a screeching mob with serious mental ilnesses."

SinDawg030 i believe the director of these shorts dropped this project to develop district 9, the same guy who did chappie, i believe. it's on the Halo wiki how a movie was set in production back on 07, but so on and so on, then district 9. thus the same gritty style action present in both Halo Landfall and District 9. because of the director

Michael Pollante Yeah, Blomkamp did an excellent job with District 9 and Elysium but still, what might have been . . .

SinDawg030 Peter Jackson did these trailers, Blomkamp was an executive

***** Other way around.

SinDawg030 exactly, plus there aren't any cheesy lines or bad acting and the special effects are really good.

Well said Hans.

Could be true kameraden

I wish there was a game made about unsc’s marines and the struggles they must overcome and the process of ranking up to be better respected among the marines. I feel like that would be a perfect side story for Halo lore kinda like Halo 3: ODST

it was test footage for a halo movie that ended up being district 9

@@antoine121 wtf this ain't their property lol

This was supposed to be a movie. Its test footage for the halo movie that got scrapped. They turned it into Halo: Landfall.

It had serious potential as seen here

LynxenX correct ... what was suppose to be the halo movie became “district 9“ and the team still kept a lot of the props for halo ... aesthetically you can see how similar guns a ships are in district 9 to the halo universe

Who thought you'd need to pack an angle grinder as a medic too lmfao

Same

Halo is Timeless

I'm still impressed by this, for this level of editing and cgi, this was way ahead of it's time and should've been thrown all of the funds for this type of style to be made into a movie.

I am forever bummed that this isn't a full length movie

Vouch

Because it is realistic, unpolished, and these are actual human beings fighting, and not some poorly written filler characters blabbing their mouths and telling you what is going on instead of showing. There are so many small details, like the robotic voice warning of the banshees like it is the war time radio that would announce air threat warnings. There is the marine medic running around doing her job in that hell trying to save people. People get hurt, they show emotion, pain, fear, and heroism. The explosions are actual explosions that grenades and rpgs make and not some hollywood fuel canister explosions. This feels so real to an actual battlefield that it is insane.

This was made by people who actually cared about Halo

@@s0ulshot it definitely gives the desperation that halo should have for the marines. I mean we have all this without any Spartans at all. It would be a great intro to how difficult the force is to fight. Then once we see the Spartans things feel a tad less desperate until the eventual flood reveal and everything is hopeless again and terrifying again

Because there was heart and care put into this and it was for the fans. Not for 40yo Jane and here 3 kids who think the show is based off the Foo Fighters song (no hate to them)

because it has zero plot and is an action movie, the way Halo is intended to be

so true!

Comparing the Paramount show to this short but super meaningful piece would be a huge disgrace.

Too Close for Comfort

ODSTs are like paper to the Brutes.

@@Determ1nat1on yea its kinda amazing how the brutes can just kill a odst with a punch but it seems like the brutes dont think that the humans can blow their heads from long distance kinda balanced

@@n0ble621 yeah, Brutes are pretty straightforward beasts caring not of their lives but only killing in their savage ways.

Yeah

@Son Gohan Goad them into attacking, (sword, shotty, or grav hammer) and jump clear to back attack. Now you have the power weapon.

@@TheBurningWarrior or you could just trade your gun for theirs lol

@@Pinewellgaze I was confused until I realized that "they" meant the space marines and not the covenant. No, it's hard enough keeping those suicidal idiots alive without adding on by killing them yourself. Similar though tactics for when your generally out of ammo: goad a covenant into attacking melee, play toro, kill said covenant with a back attack and you're done. Also, never underestimate the lowly plasma pistol. Near limitless supply, and you can either lay out fire all day or blow through them with charged shots.

@@TheBurningWarrior oh shit lol I thought he meant the Marines I'm always against killing the Marines, and I go to great lengths to try and keep them alive in game... So I got slightly triggered and didn't read into it enough lol

A corpsman never has a slow Tuesday

Medic’s are the most scarred in the battlefield. I mean, infantry watch their brethren collapse and fall and you juat gotta keep on pushing. Medic’s watch as a suffering soldier gasps his last wishes as if they could do anything about it, wishing they could have done more. Its just really sad

She was a corpsman.

@@denal4654 no one asked

That’s war. Medics are the fucking shit. Watch saving private Ryan where they’re trying to just save a guys life and the nazis were such shit bags that they shot the barely alive soldier in the head. Just to fuck with the medics. They seen too much.

Has to be a tough job considering plasma can inflict some serious burns, needles also leave tons of shrapnel after they explode, and spikers are a nightmare. Covenant weaponry overall is terrifying, I'd hate to be a med in that situation.

Poor medic can barely keep up. Everyone getting hit faster than she can get to them

waited since forward unto dawn, this is better than the paramount series

@@Dainith forward unto dawn was pretty good tbh, i enjoyed most of it

Agree

I think a big statement across halo media was that while the UNSC was super far behind the covenant in energy technology and space travel, they had retained superior ground warfare tactics and strategy whereas if the covenant couldn't just take something or convince a race to join them, they just glassed them. So when humans are holding something they want enough that they can't laser it from space, they really start to lose. The strength and jealousy of the elites and brutes and raw waves of grunts only worked out against colonial security forces and pockets of grunts literally exhausted of ammo.

all they do in the paramount show is march around on reach and die stupidly its sad

the scene of the guy feeling a lot of pain because of the thorn the guy taking the grenade from the Brute and throwing it at the banshhe The guy shooting even though he was injured And the tcdo shooting sniper, and blowing up the Brute It makes you respect them, and have more empathy too.

@@raphaelgonzaga1044 Exactly, they're seen as marines and not as a grunt's equal.

@@djprogramer973 if it was like that in the game the enemies would run because there were more determined marines than spartans alone

@@Scruffy72 True, but again, it's not all about the tech. Never has been.

Yes, it's not about the effects. Props, real locations, real sized sets and etc makes for a better movie overall. And when you add passion into it, then we get this result, instead of that half baked crap we got with the series. Even the writing is bad.

I love this trailer, but the chief got at least 2 people killed.

+goldenhedgehog9 No one really gives a shit. As far as I'm concerned, they didn't even have names. They are in no way important to the series. They serve as meat shields for the Chief most of the time.

Dragon Knight 56 No, they serve as meat shields for YOU when you play the games. In the lore, the chief tries his best to keep the men he fights with alive, and doesn't hide behind them while they get torn to pieces.

Wasn't he Armor Locked or something he couldn't have activated it himself right? Excuse me if I'm wrong I haven't played halo 3 in years.

Actually its pretty much only you that does not give a shit. I try my hardest to keep those AI soldiers alive.

*sigh* it's sad that they stated it's non-canon so they'd be able to use the Halo influence, without making it a show about halo. Just some weird fanfiction sci-fi shit with a Halo skin.

If they do adapt New Mombasa and the ODST, Neil has to be the one to do it. No one does gritty war scifi like Blomkamp.

Just watched the new episode and then watched this. Although the Paramount show has an exponentially higher budget, just compare this to the opening of episode 1. It’s insane how this scene is more memorable despite the discrepancy in budgets.
