I dont like her design either but its painting the whole show bad based off that is just so dumb its what the halo community always does
It's a very low issue on the radar of potential issues imo
I think it’s cool and gives the show its own sort of identity considering it’s supposed to be an alternate timeline
Same, could be more blue though
But I can see why people don’t like it
Yup. Wack as heck
Yeah
i vibe with the pelican, i vibe with the armor, i vibe with younger halsey
The new Spartans look pretty cool honestly
i vibe with the frickin uhhhhhhh, space AK
hell i even vibe with the other spartans who i know nothing about
Space aks makes sense if those people were insurgents
Main thing I don’t vibe with is the human on the side of the covenant. But it’s early days yet
Should've given them commandos since that looks like an Innie gun anyway
Yeah
It's not a space AK, AKs are just built different
honestly i liked this trailer
prop design was probably started before the commando was finalized
To be fair we don’t even know if it’s a normal AK

i really want to make a cosplay of a halo 3 marine to use in nerf wars
The BR looked cool
wait are those tentacle things lekgolos or flood
Lekgolo
I’m guessing lekgolo
I wouldn’t say it’s flood
i was scared it was flood for a second
😂 this is gonna be reddit for the next year. Least it will spice up the “look nobody killed me in a wasp” and all the other dumb spam
Lekgolos, flood would have been a whole lot worse
Probably Lekgolo
Cuz covie lady was in the room with them
Because they looked like separate worms almost
i was like "☹️ "
probably hunter
Yeah, they might be doing something similar to how the Lekgolo worked in Nightfall.
Plus issa worm
Also covie lady was there
And plus Hunters are Lekgolos right?

she wont be able to control the flood
Ohhhh i already know what r/halo is looking like right now and i dont even need to go there
One message removed from a suspended account.
And the flood was only discovered on the Fourth installment if I’m correct
Considering what the discord was like, I want nothing to do with the sub Reddit lol
I usually only open it to cringe myself to sleep i feel u

New timeline, the Flood could've been created by humans in this one for all we know.
One message removed from a suspended account.
Fourth installation, which is the ring in CE
yea i think thats when it was released canonically
Yes
I’m guessing they’ll introduce the other installations at the end of season 1?
Wonder if there'll be live action reach
That’d be cool
I mean the Flood was encountered on the Shield world by the Spirit of Fire prior to their release on Installation 04, but they were contained in both instances so
Yes
Could be halfway though the second season, we didn't see a second ring until a third of the way into halo 2
My reasoning for that is that the covenant woman was controlling them
Yeah
I just hope they bring Johnson back, he was a chad
I doubt they will.
why?
I mean it could be possible that he returns
Remember this take place before the events of Halo
I don't think he's the kind of character that gets a pass on shows like this, too vulgar or stereotypical.
The Original halo if I’m correct
I’d be so happy if Johnson was brought back
Yeah
He knows what the ladies like
I don't see why they wouldn't, alot of the fans like him and he could work well if he was made to stick with the marines
I wonder will these Spartans be called blue team
Lol
I've seen non-David Scully Johnson before, didn't care for it.
theyre silver team i think
ya
Oh?
It is a different timeline. So maybe he survived the ark with the arbiter and went home and got promoted to Command Sergeant Major
It'll be silver team instead, at least for now
I think you’re right. I think it’s before Blue Team was a thing in Halo 5 unless I’m mistaken from Fall of Reach
Damn I hate auto correct
Lol
Nah, they were in the lore beforehand, chief was split from them after reach
isnt silver team the main reason they're naming this timeline the silver timeline
I just wanna see noble team
That’d be cool
I wanna see jorge again
Do we see an odst in the trailer at all?
Figured
Don't see any
A Noble Team Reach movie would be fantastic
Wasn’t really expecting one
Even in the scene with all the marines in front of the pelican I didn't see any
One message removed from a suspended account.
Yeah I thought there might’ve been one in that large group
these people have the best video game music created ever and they choose to not use it
One message removed from a suspended account.
remaster the cutscenes
One message removed from a suspended account.
I’d say they’re waiting for a cool moment to use the halo music
Yesssssss
So it’ll feel more special
One message removed from a suspended account.
Warthog run when?
Remaster 3’s cutscenes
One message removed from a suspended account.
I didn't see any, but I got a feeling they'll show up at some point
I really wish they made a anniversary of Halo 3
But that’s off topic

Well they were always ugly once they infect a user since they’re a zombie type
I mean the floor is meant to look pretty gross
Maybe not at all?
Actually
One message removed from a suspended account.
I take that back they’ll definitely introduce it in some form
One message removed from a suspended account.
There needs to be floor, or at least heavy mention of them
It'd be awesome if the flood look like resident evil zombies in aesthetics
Yeah
The halo rings wouldn't exist if the flood didn't as well

New timeline so all of that speculation is null

And then he changes it to the H5 armor
The armour actually look good af
That might not happen tbh
It'd cost too much to make so many different versions of live action suits
Trailer dropped and masterchief has a new terrible voice actor with emotional dialogue lines.
Maybe in the future he gets new armor, but only after a few seasons
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking
Master Chief's armor in some lightings looks a lot like the Halo 2 Anniversary Mark VI
Yeah
One message removed from a suspended account.
Can we talk about how they didn’t get the right voice actor?
Wait what?
Yep we can talk about that now
The show isn’t supposed to be a carbon copy of the games
One message removed from a suspended account.
I think it’s fine
imo wasn't as bad as cortana
One message removed from a suspended account.
Ya
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a younger chief in this
Cortana is just plain on terrible into it
I'm more worried with how marine armor looks more than chief's va
if they just wanted to make cortana look more clothed why couldn't they just use infinite's design or something
Eh I guess
i saw someone edit cortana blue and honesty she looks like this in live cation
action *
Idc what she's wearing, I just want blue skin
looks better more life like
I’m not really that bothered by it but blue would look better
ngl now theres actually a reason to get paramount + lol. hope the shows good
I don't mind her not being blue, as long as they stick to her character from the bungie games, I'll be satisfied
the entirety of SpongeBob or south park?
Yeah
South park is on hbo
The character is more important than the design
this is obviously not gonna be anything like the games my guy. if thats what ur expecting this show isnt for u
People seem to want a carbon copy of the games
This
I don’t get it tbh
Well
I kinda do
Lol
im very happy w the cgi from what we've seen. exceeded my expectations for sure
I hope the first arbiter in this is gonna be the one from halo wars, then have vadam replace him after the first halo is destroyed
9
thats what im wondering too...
One message removed from a suspended account.
like id rather 4 GREAT episodes than 10 good episodes ya know
I think forward unto dawn had like 10 million right?
At least that's what is said in #faq-and-glossary
Tbh that'd mean bringing spirit of fire into this, which would mean that the 9 episodes in this first season will be more crowded with story than needed
alright thats cool
i wonder if paramount spent all the money or microsoft forked over some for production
Doesn't necessarily need to have spirit of fire, at least to an extent as in halo wars
how long is an episode?
prob mandalorian length
Could just be the arbiter and silver team racing to the ring or something
True, but if it does include that arbiter that means the show will be going to harvest and arcadia
Like most shows
yea seems reasonable
Paramount needs some good content to make their platform work outside of movie releases so I’m hopeful for their sake this show owns
Yeah
yea hoping this show is a major hit cuz i love halo and want it to keep going
Is it bad?
Its alright
It's a completely different timeline, so they don't have to stick to the canon of the games, just the characters and maybe some major events
Im not really a Star Trek fan lol
Cortana looks so bad
Star Wars and halo is my main thing
Yeah i did my free trial for the south park specials and didn’t bother with renewing afterwards
nah cortana looks good for live action
#NotMyCortana
True, but thatd mean having a big key character only to replace him to episodes later
Yeah
#ChangeCortanasDesign
side note i love how cortana is back lmao. cortana never going away
Bit late for that….
wonder if shes gonna say goodbye again
I know it’s just an example
they should get ron perlman to play sgt johnson
how long did it take for the sonic people to change sonic's design?
Based
hes prob the only white dude who could maybe pull it off lmao
Dunno half a year
sonic halo spongebob on the same platform, lol
Maybe
We only saw like 3 frames of cortana, chances are she looks completely different than most people are freaking out over lol
Yeah, but it kinda makes sense to me. The arbiters were the will of the prophets, and vadam was the one that broke it. Could just be something to establish the history of the arbiters instead
oh they def not gonna have time to change that
Yeah
I mean
Word is he’s still eagerly awaiting the call on the next hellboy film so he’s def up for it
It's a simpler fix than what sonic did
As long as the character is good, that’s far more important than the design
All they have to do is make Cortina more blue
Get some spray paint
Lol
i feel like theyre trying to get the star wars audience w this show, wonder how well it'll be received
😳
i mean im not a vfx artist so idk
She’s already blue if you look closely at her. Literally blue dots all over her
trailer is already getting hella views
It could be hard to change every shot of the character in the show to blue within like 6 weeks
That's kinda what they're going for, they want to make this show something more accessible to people who aren't too familiar with halo and its lore
i think so too, which is prob why they're not going with the games story too. so that its more digestible
that shot with the prophets got me real excited
Not if they release an episode a week
Definitely the right move imo
Would be good for hype too
I didn’t consider that actually
You’re right
If they dump the season entire season, it kills hype because people can binge it in a day
I mean once a show airs it’s not really touched by production again. (Usually)
Kinda like what Netflix did with stone ocean
They probably only took her in because she has some sort of ability
thats dumb
ig they could have done that to have someone they can use to access forerunner stuff but thats a long shot
ofc they gonna do episode a week, thats how all paramount shows r
At least cortana looks like Halsey, I'm happy about that
but they do that anyway, it just takes longer
isnt that like half of humanity or something
Do you think it is installation 04 they found?
Probably what will happen, the prophets did start the war to cover up the fact that humans were the reclaimers
Or do you reckon they’ll call it something else
Nah, it'll be installation 04
Don't see why they would change it
Maybe they could call it alpha halo instead
i am just pointing out that the covenant not genociding humans is a MAJOR shift in the francise
Yeah
Same thing at the end of the day
even one exception is disastrous
They still are doingthe genocide, but they still need a human to activate the array. Besides, she seems completely brainwashed from what clips I've seen
they arent blue team
well they prob changed the whole covenants motive tbh
they are just other spartans
Not blue team, it's silver team now
it is???
really
oh damn
since its pretty dumb
Ig, but I don't remember if there is any other way to activate the rings besides using a human
u can w an activation index
no
no
in CE spark tries to get you to turn on the ring
that's why tartarus needed miranda keyes in h2
and truth with johnson in 3
but she wasnt covenant
So that's probably why they raise a human, to have a key that they don't need to take
they kidnapped her for one use
makes the most sense
then were going to kill her
they forced keyes to start the ring activation
He's the black guy
pretty sure it's lord hood
i hope that shes a secret so that they have another thing to cause the great schism because have a human probably wouldn't be that popular
That old guy is lord hood
if they wanted to do that, why start genociding in the first place
isnt soren that guy?
and not try to absorb them
soren-066
The Prophets do it to cover up the fact that humans are a plot hole in their religion
Definitely
For sure
They think the rings make them gods, but it actually just kills them, and the prophets start the war to keep their power in the religion
Along with not breaking the covenant
i am saying, why start the policy of full genocide when they have a history of absorbing other species if they are just going to graft a human into the covenant anyway
The humans kinda disprove their entire religion
maybe becoz they think they'll find out that humans are the real reclaimers?
And everything will know it’s BS then
So if they say the humans are heretics and kill them all it covers things up
but adopting the human risks that anyway
and if they are keeping her secret, why is a Lekgolo colony under her command
The humans disprove the whole religion, so if they include them it breaks it. The prophets probably keep her as a secret, so they can activate the rings when they get to it. She's probably brainwashed/raised from birth anyways, so she'll be strongly loyal to the covenant
special ops lekgolo?
do we know if it is under her command
She's a covie higher up, so yeah
its attacking humans with her on the ship bridge
could be some other augmentation for her
and not attacking her
Maybe they include her as sort of a savor figure, or she's a spec ops commander in a way
since the covenant have had some experiments with augmentation
but having her there breaks it anyway
they practically need her to use Forerunner stuff
If she's not known to the public, or at least in a way that doesn't portray her as a part of the religion, she won't
how is she not known when she is leading other aliens on the field
They could be an elite unit who report directly to the prophets
it looked like she was mainly in high charity
As I said earlier, could be spec ops
And are loyal to them above their religion or something
spec ops talk to normal people
wtf
they arent completely isolated
and Lekgolo are a hive mind
if the covenant know humans are needed to activate forerunner stuff wouldn't they realize that the great journey is false?
all the more i think they like did an augmentation with her
I’m sure it’ll be explained
they didnt know that in CE i think
There were spec ops lekgolo from my knowledge
and in 2 only the prophets and a small group of brutes w/ tartarus knew that
that isnt my point, spec ops people talk to non-spec ops people
oh ok. and the reason tartarus didn't realize was becoz he didn't care about the religion?
spec ops grunt
i mean it was probably just like "hey dont snitch about her to the whole rest of the covenant pls big worms"
i think he knew, which is why he tried to stop guilty spark from speaking more to the other brutes
i want to say the R-word, but i will settle with "thats dumb"
so he just didn't care cuz he was doing it for the power
probably
plus he hates elites
spec ops grunts exist but ok
PURPLE GUY
also the prophets probably manipulated whoever was tasked with knowing
ok so becoz monke hates big lizard
Doesn't mean they'll bring her up, they probably know what it would do if they told anyone else
those split lips
also spec ops probably wont just casually talk about high priority info
to be clear on my position
i dont mind her being into the covenant ideology, i mind the covenant not killing her
I think they don't kill her because they need her, that's why she's the only human in the covenant
I get you
if its explained well, then whatever
but i need it to be explained or else i hate it
Yeah
yea they don't always blindly kill; like in the cole protocol they willingly sell plasma weapons to humans to let them kill each other in the insurrection afaik
the prohet of truth does i think
bro
i hope im not the only one who noticed
but there was an AK in the start of the trailer
i saw it
yes the 500 year old ak
There's no other way to activate the rings besides a human, and the covenant religion is based around the rings. If they kidnap her at birth and raise her to be part of the covenant, then she'll be fully brainwashed and on their side. That's what I think the explanation of her being there will be
yea
Alright, this new trailer was awesome. But tha Cortana though...
Also AKs are like built different
this, its the insurrection they have to use whatever they can get their hands on
honestly i just want either a more blue or purple cortana
Exactly
Though this show will be lit
i also think it does look weird in the general halo aethetic
i can believe in both
which is weird because presumably she will be in Chiefs head the whole time
if she's written well her looks shouldn't be a problem to most
I just hope the show is decent at the very least, the trailer is very promising
their armor doesnt look metal
elites to me look like a mix of the bungie and 343
Cortana looks like Halsey, so I think that's what the writers were going for
and they seem to go down easy
elites look pretty good to me
armor looks more traditional to me at least
Like at first glance I honestly thought it was a weird brute
they all look like they are wearing the Arbiter suit
they do
which isnt their standard loadout
it makes sense to me
Could be some sort of arbiter group or something?
could be
I hope we see hunters like in forward unto dawn, they were very well done in that
Or maybe that's the design the show will mainly use
Arbiters suit is supposed to be way out of date from modern Elite armor
Ya think it's gonna look as good as the mandalorian?
i hope
No
cause if it does good
tbf, Mando wasnt that good
Mando production is amazing.
the writing wasnt
I just wanna know if reach will be shown at all
oh i misread, sure, maybe
Lol
I like how Star Wars just has a halo ring now
I hope at the very least we get a reach movie if reach isn't shown in the show
how much people want to bet most of the show is humans and only like 3 fights with aliens
If it's at the start of the war, that'll kinda make sense
tbh i think halo live action stuff would've learned that by now due to forwards unto dawn live action
UberNick looked better in his cosplay than Jen Taylor herself in that trailer
loooks like it yea
Wait.
but Cheif was not around for that
This is master chief origin story??
he was??
we come in like 20 years in
This is a new timeline, now he could be
bc in the start of the trailer we see what appears to be insurrectionists fighting spartans before the covenant show up
Didn’t they say something about the show not being canon to the games
yea
Did they?
It's not gonna follow the canon plot, it's a new separate plot, so he totally could be around at the start for this
it's a separate timeline
The TV show follows what's called the Silver timeline
even though im pretty sure john halo was around during the beginning of the war
they infiltrated the carrier
and lost sam
i hate this timeline nonesense
So basically the tv show is a “Fracture Event” lol thank you Halo Infinite
lol
its just an excuse to screw around and fudge whatever they want
marvel multiverse moment
whcih is a good thing imo
HCU
pretty sure they won't do that
gives mroe freedoms and liberties
As long as the show has hot ppl.
^^^
None of this pc junk.
Don't be wierd
it takes talent to work in constrictions, new timeline is cowards way
Yeah, gives the writers a bit more freedom, and if it sucks, it won't affect the canon
A lot of people wanna make them pull a sonic movie to fix cortana
most the people that are in the halo fandom already know
Will it be rated M?
the lore
Why tho? She doesn't look that bad
to me it'll be personally boring just to see it in live action from what i've played and read
ehh
literally just make her more blue or purple
She looks more like Halsey in this
the rest of the internet would disagree
they can literally do anything else, as long as it fits in the world
it doesnt need to be a book or game rehash
that is why new timeline is cowardly, they are literally telling us they arent good enough to make it work
I'll be fine with chief origin story and flashbacks and stuff.
I wish Steve Downes was voicing Chief but oh well
his voice is so damn iconic
its because they want to take his helmet off
the problem is the books and other media have already gone over this stuff, it wouldnt make the story unique
new universe solves that
^^^^^^
and they need an actor to be in the suit
this guy gets it
It's a new UNIVERSE?
essentially
yea
Yes, the series is not canon.
nothing about the universe matters in the show about the universe
What?
Also what was the weird tentacle thingies? Potential Flood hint or was it that weird Covenant human thing?
Hunters
lekgolo worms
Lek golo
Oh shoot I am dumb
That's lekgolo, hunter worm thingies
I didn’t even consider that
Hunter worm.
Well that’s awesome
I wonder what the budget for the first season was.
Maybe, they just gotta make her more blue if they even want to do it
Make her cgi and pay human a tress anyways.
they have already shown they dont care with the timeline excuse, so why would they.
It's a little strange, but I don't think it'll be that bad if she stays the way she currently is
I don't think Cortana needs to be fixed tbh
Her look is iconic
it's for more creative freedom
don't get why you hate cause of that
She should have had a bob cut imo, but either way I don't mind it
Plot twist: she turns blue after introducing herself
Cortana has been purple, blue, green and red I believe
green
because creativity thrives with limitation, them removing limitation is just laziness
that one time in 2 betrayals
I'd prefer a new universe over people nitpicking every minor deviation from existing canon that the show unintentionally performs
The only weird thing was the fact that an insurgent was using a AKM
i wouldn't be able to enjoy the show since i would literally know what is going to happen
i would like to see something new
yet familiar
what is the point of calling Halo if they want to change everything they dont like
who said they are?
Who said they're changing stuff because they didn't like it?
it literally wouldn't be halo if they didn't keep some stuff from you know
from what I've seen in the trailers it looks astoundingly faithful in terms of art direction at least
Halo
stckr 4, can you answer a lore question for me?
lore?
Not everything from games or books translas well to film or TV medium
Regarding the show
they dont like that the covenant hates humans so they put a human in it
I don't know anything about the show other than what's been shown or printed
Do you know who I could ask?
you could just ask
Or where I can ask?
and someone can answer it if they know it
They probably put her in there because humans are needed to activate the rings, so the prophets need a human to do that for the.
this isnt a giant movie production they probably just put her for budget
I mean its been sitting in #933834868637454446, ignored.
if we're going for actually irl reasons
they dont like Miranda being in the military so just change it
i mean
Halopedia echoes that
im not actually sure if anything we say here counts as a spoiler since we've seen like 2 trailers thus far
What
does it really matter
just a bunch of speculation
halo games meets halo show
In the grand scheme of things, no, but its a little piece of the lore I love. My Pfp is the UEG symbol after all
yea
Chief takes one look at Cortana "You're not cortana"
they will probably change the Spartan program so it isnt child soldiers made to kill humans
She has a name tag on and a coat collar with some decorations on it, she's still in the military
Is series canon? Wondering if AKs might be a future dlc for infinite
because why would the nice human government do such a thing
could just be a simple mistake
Typically is, its why I am trying to ask
all I'm sayin is that when the series is literally an alternate timeline expect things to differ
from them to say united
So it’s not canon?
No.
Rats
Yeah but it’s a “branch off” or something like that. AKs in infinite would be lit tho
it'll probably be explained in the show
yeah, its a common one too, so I try to kindly ask for clarification when possible
yea no harm in asking
and if they change fundamental parts of the franchise, expect me to not be on board
no its not
the people with aks seem to be insurrectionists, so them using an AK makes perfect sense
i like halo for halo
im pretty sure that's the last thing they want
its literally to get new fans in and spice things up for old ones
Fr or a modified AK that allows special ammo or maybe links it
otherwise it wouldn't be halo
its like comics
mfw the kalashnikov platform is still the weapon of choice for low-budget insurgents 500 years later
lol same
yeah sure why not 🥴
i think in canon old weapons are still kept around
AKs built different
it would fit the gun's history beautifully in so many ways
Be the AR-BR hybrid i crave
the weapons the UNSC uses are advanced, they all have a bunch of computer parts and other high tech stuff
they still use the same rounds
aks are easy to make
i mean i feel like using weapons chambered in UNSC cartridges would make more sense for a variety of reasons
just stampled metal
but maybe the AK of the 26th century is chambered in UNSC cartridges too
i can already feel Hollywood sinking their tentacles in like they did with star wars and are doing to Lord of the Rings
It’s prob easy to make an AK you can use old factories whereas new guns are 3D printed and restricted by government
man just accept that some things are different
unsc assault rifles use 7.62 x 51mm
I refuse! I want Halo CE but as a TV show, shot-for-shot like the cutscenes and I want the combat sequences to look just like my playthroughs but minus all the deaths
i can accept different, but i wont accept worse
whihc is a cartridge that exists today that can be shot by many different guns today
and the M6 (magnum) uses .50 cal
so a future deagle
oh I didn't realize the MA5 used exactly 7.62 NATO
We still use knives why wouldn’t future poor ppl use aks
future poor people lmfao
i could say a lot to that
modern knives are technologically superior to knives from 500 years ago
future poor people is a phrase that tickles me
plus the way they are made
we use much better steel, lighter and more durable handles, etc.
I can’t spell insurrectionists lol
^^^^
lol
good way of describing the insurrection
I wish Cortana was blue
they are just poor people in the future
I mean the insurrection is pretty much literally a result of future people being poor
pretty sure we're gonna see some CMA stuff
They prob use better steel in future aks and better bullets u don’t know
but it still makes sense, unsc weapons have computers in them, and insurrectionists dont have resources so they use reliable centuries old weapons
Titanium A is just future aluminum lmao
Lmao ya future better n cooler aluminum
Stuff you can't wrap your turkey in!
I mean, yeah, that's kind of what I'm getting at, there are a lot of reasons to use an AK in the Halo setting
glass on spaceship is just star trek transparent aluminum
Oh word yeah
the only downside would be production availability but if the insurrection solved that problem then it's a perfectly viable weapon
and/or if the AK platform is still manufactured, which it could
Naw I prefer halo without today's weapons. The deagle is fine tho.
I would love a Starbuck cup cameo
lol you're saying this as if today's insurgents dont use ww2 and ww1 weapons
sometime in the next 500 years i would hope someone somewhere makes a weapon that can effectively replace the ak-74 as a cheap, rugged weapon that untrained child soldiers in africa can wield effectively
same, i get that its cheap and easy to make, but it doesnt fit the aesthetic
I bet the new guns are expensive too think how cheap an AK is in 2552
System link ain cheap I bet
if people aren't still making aks in 2552 they'd probably cost about what a wheellock costs today
2 dolla
you dont need a gun with an ammo counter to kill someone
i would prefer the future equivalent of the modern AK, not just an ak
MAYBE 2 dolla. Trade for a Reese’s cup
i mean don't fix what ain't broke
This is 500+ Years in the future. Doesn't add up. Unless some goofball today is using a matchbook pistol from the 1500s that somehow didn't rot away, then sure.
or whatever the saying is
i think it would actually be hilarious if unsc marines are completely incapable of aiming without a hud and if you handed them an M4A1 they'd just stare through the ACOG completely clueless
im pretty sure the magnum in the lore
they are
has been in service for like 100+ years
not a single bit of wood furniture on those aks
all metal/polymer from what i can tell
the M2 HMG has been in irl service for over 100 years at this point
I think weapons have a service life of 250 Years. Only blades and such could last longer.
hell, we've found examples of an actual individual M2 lasting 100 years in combat
they can still make more of them
The nuke has been in service 80 yrs, no
that's crazy
its not hard to manufacture a gun that's made to be easily mass produced
I don't see anyone using ye old blunderbuss today!
yeah but we don't have the same nuke today that we built 80 years ago
we need more blunderbuss
they degrade with time
I am a CBRN officer in the US Army I've seen nukes and 1911s
love seeing the Mark 6 before they find Halo 1
your argument is literally the equivalent to saying "we dont use horse and carriage today since we have the car", then saying that in 500 years we wont be driving cars because we'll all be in personal helicopters
installation 04?
anyway I don't see a problem with using 20th century guns as long as they can find ways to obtain the weapons and ammo
the modern gun has been around since the 50's with not that many major changes
It feels like the Spartans are just going to be one branch and no multi generation of Spartans
Personal helicopters…
That sounds like a nightmare lmao
the basic principal is still the same
if gun shoot bullet to kill people, then gun useful for rebels
it makes sense
7.62x51 is not what AK-74s use
because that is too confusing for normies.
my knowledge of firearms is very limited
older aks used 7.62x39
Modern AKs usually use 5.45
it's for the best tbh
looks great
mixed
if they're still using 7.62 nato in the future, high chance they're going to be 5.45 being produced
Psyched hope it’s good
I love it, I'm looking forward to seeing it and hoping they don't do to it what often happens to adaptations
yooo wach party???
Agree, especially for the civilian market
pretty sure everyone here wouldn't mind if they managed to make landfall into an series
B a S E d
I think it being separate from Canon gives them alot more freedom narrative wise as it also seems like Halsey is the villain
Which she kinda was for a bit
i have been burned by my other favorite franchises, so i have mixed feelings
also game them an excuse to make keyes black lol
are they amalgamating johnson and keyes or something?
I mean Halsey is always shady but saying she's the villain in a show with the Covenant in it is making me laugh a little
Keyes being black doesn't matter as he was more of a character type rather an actual character, atleast in og CE
Having Halsey as a villain that they need to keep around makes for a great plot I think that’s one of the best aspects that will translate to a linear story
idc if keyes is black, he's still keyes to me if he does keyes things
I always find race-changing a character to be a little bit extra but as long as they don't ruin the character of Keyes himself I don't really care
it'd be nuts if they made keyes anything like johnson, makes keyes feel like a father figure to john the way halsey is a mother figure to him
different universe anyway
Imagine if they had chris rock as johnson
Why do we care if he’s black again? It depends on the merit of the actor not the color of his skin lol
Kevin Hart as Johnson
10/10
Personally would like more mexican characters but I don't want the act man calling them space truckers
Chris is old enough now to pull it off.
we have them
Micheal Cera as Cortona pls
they're the marines
I mean I think it's a little silly to change the race of an existing character in any direction, but fortunately by setting an explicitly different timeline he's not an existing character
it's a new captain keyes
because they dont care about the franchise if they just race swap white people for diversity
agreed, if he does keyes things then he's keyes to me
literally alternate timeline
alternate
Keyes literally gave a few lines in CE then died. His character was later explored so it's technically still a clean slate
yup
I’m fine with that tbh not like they’re changing something something from the past to make it less historically accurate for diversity sake
hahaha
i could careless really
and on top of that, if you're aiming for a degree of authenticity that's going to be hard, so either way you want to have flexibility when it comes to casting potential actors
The Kingpin from the original Daredevil movie was on point
And although the show itself was bad, Jet Black from the live action Cowboy Bebop did a really good job
And also? Nick Fury. The original Nick Fury was white.
Wildly incorrect, but go off
as long as they stay true or somewhat true to the character
insert statement here about how X race can't be spartans because they genetically can't hack it, or something
assuming
I am the CEO of Assumptions
i dont care if they change peoples races honestly i kinda like it because more people can see themselves in their fav media
Dude I think 343 gives a crap about the franchise if they’re still making halo games, they probably found the guy to be the best for the role out of those who auditioned like normal people, I doubt they had a sign for auditions saying “black people only” for keyes
Ah yes, a characters skin color gets swapped and people assume they no longer care for franchise
let's just move pass this
oh lmao they got muted role
since it really isn't important
Yeah that’s cool with me, more different people getting into Halo is a plus
Buck would probably be the easiest character to add to the show since he is literally modeled after Nathan Fillion in the games. Same with Veronica.
I 404'd a little when Parangonsky was not obviously Slavic but in 500 years who's to say people's last names don't match their outwardly-displayed ethnicity? already happens iirl
yo, that's true. that would be sick
They could make Buck black if they wanted too
Halo is embracing a multiverse
We'll get a Fractures Tenrai series soon, and it'll have anime seiyuus in the role of Yoroi save for the one guy that will portray Jorge LOL
Her voice sounds fine
could be more blue and she's perfect
I wish she was bluer
i dont actually mind that much
it's literally the same va
just wish the blue parts were more bluer
Don’t really care, think she looks fine but a little more blue would be nice
Tenrai anime would be dope
i dont mind the skin colored part
at least that's what it sounded like to me
originally she was gonna be voiced by the actress portraying Halsey but people complained enough to get Jen Taylor in the role
I think Steve Downes not coming back is fine as we'll eventually either need a new VA or the death of Chief
Halo anime would be so tight
Yeah, it'd be like the recent star wars anime mini series from 2021, animated by multiple studios like Halo Legends but one of those studios is Studio Trigger
wait what
Personally as long as it's not as bad as replacing Woods' VA I like having chief around
Alternate halo universe anime where spartans look like samurai
She’s got blue dots all over her. If she was the same blue as in the game, i think it would be a mistake. Colorblind people wouldn’t want to watch the show
Steve is 71. Not gonna be able to have this role forever
Pretty sure one already exists, halo legends
Halo Fracture that's set in the 2020s and the Covenant eat us for breakfast
please
don't make me depressed
you're good
Cortana's SFX make her look too organic...would have worked if she were the Created Cortana but here I expected more of that holographic effect with the horizontal screens
I mean, Cortana can physically look however she wants
The colorblind should watch 1 thing and that’s the inside of a labor camp bro all my homies hate the colorblind
is color blind
😔
Bruh what lmao
To gulag you go
was i a good laborer
Honestly as long as the series confines the Spartan count to 300 I think the series will go well
A lot of them are dead, but still in the main timeline there's a whole lot of Spartans
No
oh.
Sorry
I like the look of the marines
i see what you did there
Very cool
You heard bro and don’t be pretending to see colors round my block
Well, the 300 count comes from IRL history of the Spartans so... lol
i have a degree in history yes
Lol
"Keep it 300, like the romans"
Kanye
keep it 420 like snoop dogg
i went fframe by frame in the trailer and i saw someone holding an aug
I just wonder what they're gonna do with the insurrectionist character
Tbh I’ve met a lot of colorblind people and trying to discuss colors of basically anything is different/difficult with them. A singular color character would be very rough for them I’m guessing
Fr where at?
Ngl I kinda wanna see kanye play as Johnson, I think that would be funny
I feel like chief might betray the UNSC or the other way around
some shades of colors for me are hard to see
like red and green and blue and purple
cortana is pretty well-known to be blue and color-blindness is typically red-green. idk where this "blue cortana would suck for color blind people" comes from
At most they can have a colorblind character for representation but he has to be evil
always thought cortana was blue until people said she was purple
it's not like she would be invisible to them
You poor soul
yep see there we go
yea lol
dm'd, cant post pics here
Just derailing this weird gripe while I’m available for it today if I’m being honest since she looks fine to me 😎
I still don't get why people are saying Cortana cannot be blue for the sake of the color-blind
agreed
I like how she looks in the show
to me personally I think it's to make her more human like
I don't know why people have such a hard on for detail orientation when it's an alternate timeline
I'm pretty sure the show writers were trying to make her look more like Halsey in this than she already does
It will probably be more easy to draw the “romance” of 117 and cortana when she looks “real” tbh
yeah
I just like Halo 4/Infinite chief
Act man and people saying that they enjoyed when he was quiet-> mid
it's good in the games
I'm actually very angry about the look of the show, Chief has wayyyyyyy too many polygons, like fr the look of this show is too realistic to be Halo-accurate
Yes but like
since you can put yourself in the master chief
C o m p l e x I t y I s m y l I f e
Idk act man in general is still mid cuz of that space trucker comment he made about Esparza
there's an N-Gon on Chief's shoulder pauldron, IT'S IMPERFECT, ANOTHER BUG FOR 343i to fix in 3 months in Season 2!
It makes more sense for him to keep talking since I think he's supposed to be younger in this, at least at the start

In that case I'm glad the comment was made towards Esparza rather than Johnson
Cuz I'd be scared about what he'd say
i mean
i mean we won't blame you for having feelings about the guy but come on lol
im much more of a late night gaming or hiddenxperia guy

Johnson is just a drill sargeant
Johnson and esparza are 2 different characters
Sean W all the way
They need to bring Johnson back
Because of the mildly racist comment (the trucker one) he made I'm glad he didn't get an early copy of Infinite
What's wrong with Sean W lmao
I need funny man
i feel like from past videos hes not that nice
He's not
omg it wasn't really racist
He made a video about why you can't make gay jokes
How is echo a trucker
it was a joke
You gonna tell me a Mexican how to take that joke?
Let's keep discussion to the TV series please
Welp
Ik but how does one draw that conclusion from him
Just seems like a leap in logic even for a joke, but idk
We all stupid
indeed
If they give us an Armor Core based on the TV series that'd be sick
it's basically the same as gen 3 thou
at least that's what it looks like to me
Anyways what season and episode do we see reach getting glassed
none
He's just weird and it's a little off of him to complain about him not being able to talk through reputation problems with 343 than male those comments
I'd pay top dollar for a Halo Paramount+ Armor Core
Oof idk
I don't think it'll go that way?
if it does happen
I think it's supposed to after that all happened?
I do wanna see a planet getting glassed
