Now that Reach has finished its live action marketing, I want to see people's opinions. Which trailer was your favorite? More importantly, consider this: When there is a live action Halo movie, which level of quality, style, and filmmaking do you want it to have, and which trailer represents that the best? My vote is for "We Are ODST".

Oops, I forgot "Birth of a Spartan". Any chance a mod could either add that in or recreate the topic with that trailer listed as well?

Starry Night by far is mine, and in a distant second is We are ODST which was sick. The thing is that what made Starry Night the best was what someone mentioned recently which was MC bustin out of that Bubble Shield and dashing at the Covenant baddies like a bad mo-fo, keep in mind that the parts that made this trailer the best were not "live action."

Perhaps that could serve as a reminder to those who will be involved in the Halo movie in the future that not everything has to be live action in order to be kickass. If I had to pick a trailer that best expressed the Spartans, Starry Night would be it. However, We Are ODST provided the overall view of the Halo universe that I love, kind of paralleling WWII. Young men (and women) going to fight for one reason or another, discovering what actual war is really like, and enduring it as best they can.

Starry Night was not live action. There's a difference between CG and live action. As far as best live action goes, ODST takes the cake by a long shot.

The beginning intro of John and Kelly in the field at night is live action, so that classifies it as a mix in my mind. The action and visually oriented scene was CG, as well as the environments, while the actual people were real. Kind of makes me think of the filmmaking used in 300. But that's why I included it.

Deliver Hope for me. Almost a tie with Starry Night.

How about all of them put together?
