Spartan Ops Season Break Trailer
Here is a [url=http://cdn.playwire.com/1809/embed/145444.html]trailer[/url] for the second half of season one.
There's a few cool things in there.
-Thorne went down swinging it seems
-Infinity gets boarded as predicted and Palmer leads the defense
-Jul gets what he was looking for?
-New architecture. Flood? Precurser? Who knows.
*UPDATE*

-Looks like we get a Broadsword mission! Glad 343i are varying things.
-New environments including the Infinity, not the campaign version.

We have to wait THREE weeks instead of one?!
-
Yeah, mid-season break unfortunately.
-
That structure at 0:36 looks [i]very[/i] different to anything we've ever seen before. Anyone's inner Mass Effect fan grin when Palmer shouted "HOLD THE LINE!"? Can't wait for some of the new episodes - more space battles, more epic confrontations, more mysterious revelations. I hope the 3 week wait is worth it, glad to hear that there'll be new locations too.

They are always impressive and the new ones seem more action oriented. And the change of scenery for the missions should be good.

Return of the Flood? I prefer the Flood to the Prometheans anyway.

I hope the 3 week wait is worth it, glad to hear that there'll be new locations too.[/quote] That space battle scene is from Episode 1, unfortunately. But I am intrigued by that bio-architecture looking thing. It looks far too out of place to be Forerunner or Covenant, nothing like them at all, which to me means it's a new faction. It could be a Precursor structure the Forerunners dug up and were researching on Requiem, or it could be Flood. Neither of those sound likely, because it'd be odd for the Precursors to be introduced in Spartan Ops, as they're more fit for a main game reveal. And the Flood would require entirely new enemy behavior modeling and art, also seems unlikely for S:ops. If it is the Flood, however, I'll be very impressed. So for now, I have a nagging feeling it's a bizarre covenant structure, but that seems as likely as any of the others so it's up in the air. Edit: Hell, after seeing it again, it very well could be alive itself. What a twist that would be, if it was a sleeping Precursor. [Edited on 12.08.2012 4:44 PM PST]

Love how Palmer apparently does not know how to use a helmet.
-
Can that mysterious structure have anything to do with that downed vessel from the anniversary terminals? Probably not, but I just wanna know when that thing will show up in the trilogy. It's most likely Precursor related. I would like a reasonably sized, but kinda ambiguous, discussion to take place if it was actually alive. It's very bizarre looking.

best part of this trailer is where the guy was introducing it at the show and no one clapped. he had to stop and tell the audience to clap. speaks about this game

[/quote] The only possibilities I have ever seen for the Terminal ship was Ancient Human, Ancient Forerunner or Precurser. I usually lean towards Ancient Humans but the symbols from the terminal show up in Halo 4 and Cortana says they are of Forerunner origin. So I'm thinking that some Forerunner splinter group from the Forerunner-Precurser war set up an isolated colony/civilisation before the Forerunners we know lost their historical records of that time. It's all speculation though.

If anything the structure reminded me of the general shape and structure of the Collector General from Mass Effect 2

The strange stucture looks awfully a lot like a Scarab...

It looks soo exciting.

[/quote] I don't think they'll have to, I suspect that there are some Flood already in there. We have infected Spartan models for multiplayer and the whole backstory of the Halo universe involve Flood so I think they will get some kind of a cameo. Cutscene if not gameplay, 343 said that there was no Flood in Campaign but they dodged every question about Flood in Spartan Ops.

[/quote] Whatever it is, it can't be Forerunner. Between the three factions already in game, it would most likely be Covenant, but the thing almost looks like it could be alive. Too organic to be Covenant, I'd wager. Though in the back of my mind I'm retaining an expectation that it will be Covenant, to avoid getting my hopes up.

[i]Infinity[/i] gets boarded? I -blam!- called it!

I don't even think anything interesting will happen.

And what's with the break? They made Season 1 as part of the game development. There's literally nothing to make, or upload to Live. They just unlock another Episode from the disc every week, so why are they making us wait 3 weeks?

I thought the coolest thing was what looked like a deactivated Scarab.
