(Page 1)2. I've been watching these. I dunno this just doesn't feel like an epic battle between the convenant and unsc, and I don't like that documentary feel to it. Ahh well, maybe they're saving best for last.

3. I loved this short the first time I saw it. Blomkamp's style gives a very gritty, realistic feel to the Halo universe. Hopefully, Halo 3 and these videos will convince a big name studio to fund the movie.

4. Lol I guess it's just me, imo it looked like one of those paintball fields I've played on. The setting is plain with a couple of unknown walls that seem to serve no purpose, maybe just cover (aka paintball walls)

5. well the Halo movie does have some one funding it...... FOX
but they said they want to wait until more people to take a interest into it first.
ALSO there is a rumor going about that it is already filming and these short films kinda prove it as think of the first video. Where did they get the money to make all the scenery and weapons and even the warthogs. Also if you watch this video where did they get the money to do all the special effects and stuff and to be honest i doubt they would be filming this stuff just for halo 3 i think that the halo film is already in production and they are filming as we speak.
and yea i suppose these videos are to create a hype for the movie as well.

Dude, how can you hate these? These are fucking amazing! The detail is so outstanding, and the armor/warthog/brutes/banshees/EVERYTHING looks so well done and real.
This gets me so fucking hyped for the movie, seeing how great they can make it look, now all they need is some patented marty Halo music and it will be the greatest movie ever!

There's only one Spartan, the rest all died on the Planet Reach when it was glassed. Unless UNSC is fixing up a fourth batch.

10. I know how everyone says the brutes look so cool and realistic, well i mean they do, but just imagine the other covenant, JACKALS! GRUNTS! ELITES! HUNTERS!

11. I hate to say this, but..... I watched an episode of power rangers with my nephew the other day, and this looks sadly similar. Just with blood.

12. Token, you n00b!
There's about 4-5 remaining spartans, going by what the novels say. The chief himself, Kelly, erm, couple of others.

13. Insomnious lol. They died. I'll go back and check but I think Kelly, Sam, Fred are dead or are MIA. The rest are MIA or KIA after several Campaigns.

14. @zourskittles-
halogasm, nice. I'm stealing it.
Also, Universal & Fox were co-backing the film & both backed out due to higher production estimates. Since Weta already did pre-production work, they're trying to use it to stimiluate support & also get some mileage out of what they've already spent. You can be assured that when Halo3 bows, someone will step up to finance & distribute.

16. Holy shit! This movie looks so freakin' awesome! The brutes looked so kick-ass as well as the ODSTs. I wanna see Master Chief in action though!

It's likely that you already are aware of this but even Halopedia says Fred, Linda and Kelly are still active on Onyx
I think the movie should be made, but it's possible that the movie will be bad and create a black mark on the face of the Halo series. Then again, the shorts are pretty good.

18. definitely looks really small compared to the "halo-esque" field that we're used to playing on, but it looks badass nonetheless. seeing the banshees shoot overhead was awesome!

19. @Token,
In the book "Ghosts of Onyx" is were you will find the proof of surviving SpartansII's and Kurt's Spartan III's, as well as Chief Mendez and Dr.Halsey. However, some die along the way, not all but some. It's a really good book, you should read it if you havne't bug I suggest starting with the other 3 before it.
As a Halo uber fanboy, I can honestly say that all the novels, graphic novel, and marvel comic along with other Halo related things is very true to the franchise and worth the money if your a fan, with the exception of the Mcfarlene controls, I don't like the artwork.

1. Got my nice little HD download from IGN. I think it's free. I hope they put these on the Market Place.
