New halo: Reach live action trailer- deliver hope

[JBetts97]

So I'm looking into the "Marine" situation on this short film, and it looks like they are wearing Legacy Effects ODST armor, sans backpack for most of them, and sans gauntlets. Also, the helmets aren't ODST helmets, they are Reach Marine/Army helmets. Of what I can tell (through faded lighting and smoke and rubble, mind you), it looks like they are based on the same costumes in the previous live-action short (everyone's favorite all-talk one), but with the thigh armor being worn on the legs instead of tucked up under the backpack, and the shins/knees added back.

Yes, that is interesting. The "marines" in the "patrol" short had on odst armor (with no helmets) . I would like to see some of those unsc army helmets UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL!! lol

pretty much. They probably spent so much money on the CG and Spartan Costumes, they were going to go over budget or something.

Well, I wasn't necessarily saying that to talk about it in a low or over-budget sense. I personally like the fact that they're using the LE stuff. Why waste a good thing if you still have it? I mean I know that the Reach Marines/Army have a totally different look than the ODST, but if they're all background characters in this short and don't really get any screen time, and if you have stuff to fill in those spots that fits in at a glance, then you can put your efforts elsewhere in the film (like toward the spartan armor like you suggested).

Also, it just means more LE ODST stuff for me to build. :P

Indeed, and this is why Thom (the previous Noble Six) died.
That nuke went off before he got out of that ship, so thats why he died. And also take in mind the armor, his is customized, while us, aka the new Noble Six, isn't customized (yet).
This also almost made me cry.
Seeing Kat blown up and such.

So beautiful... I refuse to criticize this at all. You guys know how close we are? 18 days and counting. We're almost there.

Edit: Just found that Bungie is now allowing players to redeem their Halo 1 activation keys on their site. Just unlocked mah virtual swag!

Watching it the third time through, all I could think about was the multiplayer announcer going "Bomb dropped. Bomb taken. Bomb planted. Bomb detonated."

I concede guys!.....

It's Thom not "our N6"

I saw a ghost light gray(using model paint color terms here)/light gray coloring, and FJ/Para knee plates and the helmet had the comm-uplink thing attachment
