Special Halo Trailer
Posted By:

During the recent The Game Awards, Paramount released the first substantial trailer for their upcoming Halo TV series.

It's special.

Visually it's mostly fine. Lots of gorgeous sci-fi landscapes, buildings, ships etc. interspersed with face shots.

The dialog though is odd.

You're special.

In fact....

I'm counting on it.

Pardon?

And it continues like that.

Possibly this is another one of those it-makes-sense-if-you've-played-the-games Halo things, like not seeing the character's face in the earlier teaser.

Otherwise it's a bit of an eye-roller.

Maybe the show will be good but this trailer probably won't inspire many non-Halo players to subscribe to Paramount+, which is the point.
