Halo 3 advert

[carocat]

Probably one of the best gaming ads I've seen.

[Spindryer]

Saw this earler today and thought the same thing Cat :D

[Gaskin]

It's not that good, although old people scare me..

[KONSPIRACY]

Pretty pants IMO.

[Gaskin]

Yeah, Chris likes to get down and dirty with some good f'ing action!

[Pie In The Sky]

It's well made and all, but I don't think its that effective as a game advert.

[Tipsytom]

No gameplay footage. The have gone for a "we will honor our dead" feel. There are alot of adverts like that for world war 2 games, but in this case as its not really is it appropriate?

[Spindryer]

It does tell you that the Human race survived...

[Tipsytom]

He might be in heaven??

[Pirate Balloon]

No gameplay footage. The have gone for a "we will honor our dead" feel. There are alot of adverts like that for world war 2 games, but in this case as its not really is it appropriate?Exactly what i was thinking. This would be brilliant for the likes of Medal of Honor or Call of Duty, but this just seems wierd

[FiveOhOne]

Aye, I thought it was a bit pants.. I quite liked the starry sky one, this is, well, just a bit 'meh'.

[kurosaki7]

Pathetic, not appropriate at all, the best bit was when you got a glimpse of the miniature figures.

[Tugsy]

I really enjoyed it, nice change from the usual 'Not actual in game footage' we get shoved down our throats.

Thumbs up from Tugs.

[carocat]

And the continuation: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=S8_TG4bbDQk

[Innes]

the continuation is much better than the first.

[KONSPIRACY]

Still pretty darn pants IMO.

Looks like somone spent ages making a fight scene out of toy soldiers and they felt obliged to put it a new tv advert.

BTW its no longer available on that link.

[NeoKubrick]

I liked it. It's setting a mood - not selling a product.

[Azure]

That was embarassingly bad. "Masterchief was still in the fight - he gave us hope" urgh.

[NeoKubrick]

Come on Azure, wallow in sentimentality just for Halo 3. :p

[KONSPIRACY]

That was embarassingly bad. "Masterchief was still in the fight - he gave us hope" urgh.
2 keywords highlighted nicely sum up the advert.

[carocat]

I think you guys are being a bit too harsh. It's a different type of advert, it could be like an advert for a program on the History channel.

Yes, the advert with the shield may have been typical, but to have a different advert than the others is trying something different and these ones excel.

Personal preference, eh?

[Pie In The Sky]

On the topic of adverts...

One of the best adverts I have seen in a long time.
I think it is genious.

[carocat]

Yeah, definitely. First time I saw that I was just thinking the whole time on what they could possibly advertise!

EDIT: A more real version of the first advert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEWIw-a0GJw

[Gaskin]

ROFLFLMAOZORS at that one. I just burst out laughing and woke my Dad. :D

[KONSPIRACY]

lmfao! :D

edit: wtf happened to capital letters ffs? :mad:

[Razor]

I think the advert was a nice change from the usual gameplay we've been shown recently.

This one sent shivers down my spine.

I posted that somewhere at the beginning of the thread, but the video was removed.

I like both proper and 'the other one' so far.
