I wonder if they will include gratuitous tea-bagging...?

OK. I'm intrigued. Love the games, so I'm looking here at what we might have to hand.

Halsey, what looks like a giant Covenant ship (Edit: OMG it's High Charity - that looks ridiculously good!), Makee, Soren-066, I'm assuming a young John, Miranda Keyes, some truly stunning effects work and the Chief looking spot on.

 

Makee will be the most controversial character, but Charlie Murphy is ridiculously talented, so hopefully she will get people on side.

Excited to see what comes along. Notice we've actually yet to see a Halo ring in any form??

Full Trailer.

It's very pretty!

 

It's going to take a lot to get to grips with Chief having a different voice though.

I can only assume it's because we're going to see him without the armour, but still it'll be a jarring change.

 

Glad they've got Jen Taylor in to play Cortana though.

[paulkerton]

I think it looks good, though I'm a bit upset that Cortana looks like a lady I used to hang out with back in the day...

I've just looked at the cast list. There's no Sgt Avery Johnson :-(

Timeline wise it's set before Halo: CE (even though its in it's own timeline) so he wouldn't be introduced until later once they find Alpha Halo.

[ICTDirect_Dave]

I didn't know it was it's own universe. Gives them more latitdue story-wise I guess.

 

But Chief and Johnson worked together as early as 2526 (26 years before halo:ce) where he was an advisor to Chief's Blue team and fought along side them.

He was also part of the original Spartan-I program.

 

I'm just bitter because I love him and I reckon they're missing a trick by not including him early.

This is Silver team, so we now have:

The Silver Timeline (TV series)

and

The Blue Timeline (Everything else)
