[QUOTE=Darkmaster21;35677765]I REALLY hope they do a Halo 2 remake like they did for Halo 1 and keep the multiplayer mostly the same. Yeah, a bit farfetched I know, but one can only dream...[/QUOTE] That too is my dream. Or if they would just reopen the Halo 2 servers, that would suffice for me.

[QUOTE=Hiccuper;35675555][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjOEmHEd2XM&ob=av3n[/media] The song pretty much makes this trailer though.[/QUOTE] Thane was such a badass. Sucks that he had to die.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;35678875]Can't you save him? I thought you could save the whole crew.[/QUOTE] He dies in Mass Effect 3, and its sad. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O9YpMcpg3E[/media]

[QUOTE=<man>;35674177][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVM558UI0y4[/media][/QUOTE] I can't help but find trailers like these a bit silly. He just waltzes out into the open and shows off making some kind of stage performance instead of an assassination. I know its assassin's creed and the realism expectations are on par with cod, but the thrill level is just higher when more realistic scenarios are used.
Its normally a good idea to make trailers as cinematic and exciting as possible.

They're just really generic summer action blockbuster trailers that don't do anything special. They're designed to hype a young crowd that loves to spend money on those kinds of movies, and I guess if that's what they're shooting for, it works; I'm not part of that demographic.

A lot of "deep, artsy" indie games tend to stray into that territory far too often. I'm just looking for more commercials and trailers that appreciate the source material and evoke what the player would see or hear or experience. In that sense, the ME2 launch trailer is somewhat appropriate when we're talking about the suicide mission, but for the series as a whole, the Distress Call TV spot I posted in the OP is much more appropriate; even if it's rare to make a choice that dire, the subdued nature of the encounter and the contemplativeness is something that happens a LOT throughout the series. Plus, it's well-written, with excellent filmography.
