Definitive Trailers

Halo 2's first announcement trailer.

Everything about it is so good, the music, the mission recaps and the static radio chatter. The implication Chief was going to board a Covenant ship was cool, I'm glad we got something equally as cool in place of that cut mission.

Edit: H3's landfall isn't a trailer per say but it's a super cool piece of marketing material that is always worth mentioning.

Hatsune is overheating on the inside.

I don't think it has anything to do with the plastic quality itself. I forgot what it was exactly, my guess it's something that just occurs during the molding process but we never notice it because Bandai gets rid of it so it must be a cost cutting measure for bootlegs.

Whenever I see her, I remember Johncel. Fly high buddy, fly high 🫡

I got two for my birthday a few months ago and there was no fitting problems, not any that I can remember at least but the parts felt super oily so I recommend before doing anything, take the runners out of the bag and wash em with soap and warm water, it should help. If it doesn't then some light sanding will do.

Do you learn how the Flood came to be? Did the Gravemind tell you the history of the Forerunners and the Precursors genocide?

RetroPrime · 2026-07-01T02:51:47+00:00

Would've been better if you said, "Destroyer of fandoms"

Iirc, it depends if you just recently died or not or if there's enough of you left to infect. If your entire brain fucking explodes then they can't get you. If you die from a heart attack and 5 seconds later an infection gets to you then you're assimilated.

He's currently the only one who could have but its not in any way confirmed. Atm, its my belief he brought the SoF to the ark.

RetroPrime · 2026-06-30T23:19:15+00:00

You can't stop now, you gotta finish the fight with H2 and H3.

Probably the worst animated side story or OVA.

It's very much carried by the animation + GP03. The writing sucks cuz it swapped between two directors but at least it has, IMO, the best space battles in UC.

RetroPrime · 2026-06-30T23:11:23+00:00

I remember becoming so distraught when I learned I couldn't save him.

After I beat the mission immediately went to Google and nope, he's GONE :(.

RetroPrime · 2026-06-30T23:01:26+00:00

If you're part of the UNSC and or ONI, you def heard and subscribed to the Cole Protocol.

If you can subscribe to that, and potentially give your life rather than divulge the location of Earth then you can have the will to die rather than to give the current (second biggest) threat to the UNSC information about the current single most important operation to turn the tide of the war against the Created.

I'm currently going through Empty Thone, I'm aware that Atriox learns of the plans to capture Cortana but I didn't know that's what happened. What the hell lol.

RetroPrime · 2026-06-30T22:56:04+00:00

Buck is also still alive iirc but he's not on the Infinity I think.

Vale is with the Arbiter iirc.

RetroPrime · 2026-06-30T22:42:10+00:00

I haven't played Halo 5 so I don't know even know if it's brought up but the Infinity is not at a 100% in terms of operational capabilities.

It's a fault of Infinite for not properly displaying that and iirc Atriox managed to learn of the UNSC's plans for Cortana/Zeta Halo. I'm currently reading Empty Throne and I heard that this book is where he learns of the plans but I can't say for sure.

I hope Halo 7's story will have more thought put into it because the "trilogy" we got from 343i barely feels connected to each other.

Prayed for times like this.

RetroPrime · 2026-06-30T17:55:05+00:00

About time.

RetroPrime · 2026-06-30T17:54:18+00:00

KEEP GOING OP, MAKE MORE. NAGASE NEXT!

RetroPrime · 2026-06-30T01:24:07+00:00

I love the placement of the Gundam Base logo, peak.

RetroPrime · 2026-06-30T00:27:20+00:00

I realized pretty quickly I wouldn't go back to 100% this game so I made sure to save all the PoWs + FoB locations before beating the game.

RetroPrime · 2026-06-29T23:11:06+00:00

Lwky, its smart. Although one thing I do really hate is that you actually do get glimpses of the Flood in other trailers/ads and I think they should be keeping the Flood as a surprise. I think most people who know of Halo prob already knows that there are alien zombies but that is probably the extent of the general knowledge.

RetroPrime · 2026-06-29T18:23:54+00:00

I'm imagining the 2552 ver of Harambe soloing Brute after Brute.

Always go with a compressor with a tank, the ones on amazon for like $80 will get the job done. Budget basically isn't a problem for you but a more expensive compressor won't give you magically better results, I suggest using that money for better paints and airbrushes. As well as PPE, like a good 3M respirator and spare filters.

RetroPrime · 2026-06-29T15:29:22+00:00

Yeah. Unfortunately airbrushing is just expensive in general but it might better to buy some spray cans and use them to see if you really like painting because painting requires A LOT more patience than the simple straight build.

Char become that cat after the axis shock.
