How do you sell a new system if you don't show its capabilities? 

From a sales standpoint I think it was very weak. Didn't make me want to buy a new console, didn't make me wanna play almost anything. Halo showed us some minutes of gameplay which will be available on the current gen.

They marketed Series X as the most powerful console, where did they show that? They could've AT LEAST show some Hellblade 2 gameplay.

"But Halo was never about great graphics" "Halo is about gameplay". Ok, then why you need the so called most powerful console? 

CG or not they are enough to get people excited. Again I don’t see where gamers decided it’s a mandatory requirement to show gameplay for every reveal. Avowed is a Xbox exclusive Skyrim with LOTR elements, that’s huge! But nope it’s trash because it’s CG. That makes no sense to me. 

As for Halo, you need the most powerful console to make Halo open world while hitting those resolution and FPS benchmarks. The open world aspects is a dream come true, they traded graphical fidelity for scale, and of course the gameplay is tight. So the game not impressing “graphics whores” isnt a big concern of mine. We just want a great Halo game and in that regard the trailer didn’t disappoint. 

I don't even know who you are, but based on your icon and this response alone...I think it's clear that Microsoft could piss in your breakfast cereal and you'd eat it up. Halo looked terrible, easily the worst looking thing in the entire presentation and you're trying to spin it like it's a graphical or performing marvel? Come on dude, you can't be serious.
