The micro-documentary also reveals some surprising trivia about the shoot, including the fact that the opening funeral scene was shot inside the cooling tower of an operating nuclear power plant. Oh, and the battle sequence? They filmed it at the bottom of a coal strip-mine. Really? We could have swarn it was New Mombasa.

If they really want to Convey the Halo Universe then they should have bright colors and immaculate uniforms since nothing in Halo gets dirty. Vote me down, but the kiddy color palette is what they do.

His profile was just created today, so i say the shoe fits. That and the ridiculous idea that joystiq is PS3 leaning, when just about every PS3 fanboy raves the opposite.

I expected this video to mention it but they didn't. Although they did say that the characters were hungarian and of course the language they spoke as well, the singing in the full video was actually Welsh.

I'm not saying you have to change yourself, but simple things like your account name format. There are plenty of fanboys on Joystiq, but most last longer than you. It's your history that keeps you on the shorter leash, so I would think that simple things like a change in your account name format would keep you around longer. And, of course, stopping using a phrases like "holier than thou" and accusing Joystiq of bias all the time wouldn't hurt either.

That would be awesome to get one of those ODST costumes

i was thinking the same thing. There's a fan group that's basically the Halo equivalent to Star Wars' 501st, the fan group that creates their own costumes based on the bad guys in star wars and do charity events. The Halo one is called the 405th and unlike the 501st they actually sell some of the armor they make. Their website's been down for awhile but if it gets up you might be able to find one. Some are almost as high quality as the ones in this video

If you dont listen to the podcast why do you so vehemently assert joystiq is pro sony? That's like saying Star Wars is the worst film franchise ever with only having watched Episode 1. Despite what you may think, very, very little of the writers actual opinions shine through in the posts, the podcast is literally filled with depressed sigh after depressed sigh at stuff like the psp go, PSN, and advertising. Something which, in almost every podcast post, PS3 fanboys flip out about

Great commercial. When ever I see it I wish the Halo Movie was still a go.

NOBODY click on that shitty piece of shit GAMERVISION ad. Clicking on the red X won't click the ad off; it will take you to their shitty piece of shit site. Whoever did that should be shot.

Haha, I recall some people complaining about the bad looking "CGI" Brutes. This video makes those complaints so much more funny.
