I’ve said it again and again, but I never really enjoyed the Halo campaigns. But after seeing this recently released Halo 3: ODST Live Action trailer, all I could say was “Holy Shnikes!”
Now I’m totally pumped for the game, so all I gotta say is the marketing team that came up with this ad did their job. This trailer has not only made me forgotten that I’m not a Halo fan, but I would now go see this movie in the theatre if it was made into a full-length feature film.
I think the trailer does a great job of humanizing the ODST, and practically turns the disadvantage of not being able to play as the Master Chief into somewhat of an advantage for this game. Something like this couldn’t have really been done with Master Chief since he was basically a super-hero (and maybe that’s why I never liked him too much – he lacked character). If the protagonists of the actual ODST game echo even some of what I’ve witnessed in this trailer, I’ll be more than satisfied. After all, this ODST trailer tugs at my Band of Brothers’ heartstrings. Day 1…<sob> day 1…
