Looks intriguing, not sure how this ties into Halo 5 though. Is this just self contained story to set up Locke or will the antagonist carry through to Halo 5.

I'm expecting the Arbiter has a big role to play in Halo 5 and early hints suggest he may be an antagonist.

Well from the opinions on here people seem to have wanted to see michael bay explosions going off in the trailer to get "excited." The first teaser trailer for movies and tv shows just give the gist about what the plot centers around and little more, but if this was a trailer released just before halo: nightfall was to come out then yeah it wouldn't be that great.

With a limited budget however this may live or die on how intriguing the plot is, although I'm not making any judgements until we see the next trailer closer to its pilot.

Hahaha, as if ;) Problem is that at least some saying they don't like the trailer also don't like Halo at all (even funnier that those not liking Halo now like Destiny but that's a different story to tell...).

I posted a link to a producer interview that explains a lot about this movie.

I admit it has changed my opinion of it, and I am now much less critical, as the scope of the show is explained.

I was very critical when I thought that this is an actual TV series. Now that I know it is an add-on to the MCC, serving a purpose to entertain fans and to bridge the gap between two games, I really don't have any complaints at all. As most of my complaintscwere of technical nature.

Actually, this makes MCC an even better deal than it was in the first place.

Not the point. Expecting everybody to come into the thread and receive the trailer positively is too much.

Some people do not like the trailer...halo fan or not.

Threads are NOT limited to the fanbase of the game in question. Thats not how forums work, as long as people back up their opinions and add to the dicussion all the negativity in the world is perfectly fine in my book. It's when people come into a thread and just bash a game for no reason and has an obvious agenda then it becomes a problem. We need to be able to distinguish between that as a community. Mods havent even come in here, which is a good indication that people havent crossed any lines. Quite frankly the only thing that is wrong in the thread is the low tolerance of criticism.

Trailer is not amazing but for a first glimpse its not bad.

Exactly. I'm a huge Halo fan but TV shows and movies don't interest me at all. There were even a few people in this thread, who are known not to biased, that also said that the trailer wasn't that interesting. 

I'm also a huge Zelda fan, I played it once on N64.

I'm usually on Xbox One Empire, I know you're not a HUGE halo fan.

Well I don't know why you think that. I still play Halo 4 and its the game I've played the most since it came out.  Even with it having the worst multiplayer from all the Halo games, I still play it. You can tell by my stats on Halo waypoint that I play it very often:

Someone who doesn't like Halo wouldn't spend more than 700 hours playing the game. 

Halo was the reason I got an Xbox and then a 360. There is no other exclusive on xbox that really interests me other than Halo. So I don't know how you came to the conclusion that I'm not a big Halo fan.
