Wearing a cloak in the desert is an attempt to draw the Journey crowd, with new gritty realism.


It didn't work very well.
Nah man, don't you get it? It's cuz Master Chief is such a lone tormented hero. Drawing on that old anime trope where bad-ass tragic heroes always wear cloaks regardless. Guts, Kenshiro, Vash the Stampede... and now Master Chief.

Something tells me Cortana is going to look even more slutty this time.
Clothes?

The fuck does a computer programme need with clothes?

Ugh, more Halo hate... If it didn't get enough already. Your not insults aren't clever.

Totally. I mean, corpses are always really slutty. Those dead fish eyes are just asking for it. (Please ignore the fact that a computer program can't have a corpse, which would ruin the joke. Thank you for your cooperation)

I don't hate anything.

Maybe because 60 frames is nothing new.

Hell, it's to be expected, this is next bloody gen we're talking about.
It is new for Halo isn't it?
All previous Halo releases are running 30 FPS afaik.

And I'm sorry but you will get your hopes crushed. A lot of games won't run on 60 FPS.
For some games 30 FPS is enough and devs are likely rather use the power to enhance the visuals because its easier to market that instead.

Btw. Cortana is dead.

Now dudebro fratboys feel secure in the knowledge that they saved another woman from her femininity.

The world is saved, no thanks to the vagina, computational or otherwise.

If Master Chief has his armor on why does he need to wear that cloak thing? He can fall from space no problem but sandstorms? Ooh no, that's too much!

Also, could you turn the autoplay off please? It's kind of annoying when I'm trying to read through the thread.

All my games run at least 60fps.

I thought it was a gritty re-boot of Journey at first. Or something like that.

Why is Master Chief wearing a cloak and hood over his armor? The sand wouldn't wear it down, since his shields would stop that. Plus, even if they didn't, his hands and boots would be the most in jeopardy, since they're less shielded than his torso and head. This allows him to walk/pick things up without the shields mucking things up. So they would have to be covered, and they're not.

And yes, I am a Halo fan who has way too much time on his hands, how did you know?

I was thinking that maybe his armor isn't working correctly. Hence the giant gash in the side of his helmet.

I just have one question about this. Why was Master Chief wearing a robe? What could he possibly need with that? He's wearing armor that also doubles as a space suit. I don't think that robe is really going to help him.

Does Master Chief really need a cloak? It's not like this suit will get stuck from all the sand getting into the suit joint?

I was thinking the same thing (t's not like this suit will get stuck from all the sand getting into the suit joint?). I can only guess he wanted to hide his identity from someone or something from afar.

For all the people making snide remarks on the cloak, here are 2 possible reasons for it, just off the top of my head:

1.Protect the armor. Sand getting in joints could cause problems over time, and when they show the helmet you can see it's already suffered a lot of wear and tear which would be compounded, again over time, by sand and high winds. I don't think the armor's shields would protect him against the sand unless the particles are moving at high enough speeds to cause instant significant damage (think space dust moving at hundreds of meters per second), or it's possible his shields aren't working in the cutscene.

2.Inhibit long-range identification. The cloak breaks up the outline enough that anyone observing from a distance wouldn't think "Mjolnir armor". Additionally it looks like it might be thick enough to at least alter his heat signature.

As for the game itself... I'm invested enough in the Halo story that I would very much like to play this game when it comes out, however for me to go out and actually buy an Xbox One, given what we know about it so far, the storyline of the game would have to be so good that it wins the Nobel Prize in Literature.

A better question: where did Chief find a robe tailored for a 7'5 foot tall cyborg?

You know, I like Halo, but it cannot sell me an Xbone alone. And this is coming from someone that has a bunch of covenant weapon replicas, a couple spartan helmets, the collector's edition of each release, all of the books, and dozens of Halo figures. The fact that Halo alone can't sell this console should tell you something.
That you really don't like the DRM bullshit, publisher control and such?

Also the fact it costs $160 more in Europe and the UK even though almost none of the features work.
Microsoft needs to hire someone like you, because you've got common fucking sense. And that thing about Europe:wow. They're really trying to make this as US-centric as possible, aren't they? Well I live in the US and I don't want any of this shit. I just want a box where I can plug in and play some damn games. No DRM, no TV, just a box where I play some games. Maybe online connectivity for online play and Big chunks of DLC. Nothing more than that though. That's what I use my 360 for and that's worked well enough for the past 5 or so years.

Or 3. To increase audience interest with mystery until the last second. Seriously, it makes no sense in-universe, but tons from a marketing perspective.

OT: Microsoft, dude, I know you think you need a new Halo title to sell the Xbone. You don't - nothing can save that... thing. So move on and [i/]don't split up a trilogy between two console gens![/i] If this game and the next Halo (the last two of the "Reclaimer Trilogy" as 343 likes to call 'em) are Xbone exclusives, even after you said 360 would be supported for another 5 years, you're gonna have a bit of a problem.

You know it might have been a little harder for me to say goodbye to Halo if they actually included the theme song in the reveal trailer making it seem as if they were going to try and recapture the magic of the trilogy instead of just turning Halo into even more of a run of the mill bland fps.


Oh well, Goodbye Halo.

Play me out Vincent Price!

All of my meh.

Couldn't care less about the frames.

The scene tells me nothing except that it's the same stupid looking 343 Chief doing the same shit.

The ONLY way E3 could have made me happy about Halo and the Xbox One is if the ENTIRE reveal was centered around The Arbiter.
It was not.

Am I interested in new Halo? Yes.
Am I interested in new Xbox? Sadly not even fucking close. As a Halo fan I hope it is a good game but the console can go fuck right off into a corner and die.
Guess I'll just wikipedia the story and youtube the cutscenes.
