[@PANCAKEMINEZZ]

I appreciate the little detail of the pelican behind Echo 419 being labeled B-022, for Bravo 22; the pelican that gets shot down mid mission after the security station is deactivated. They're the ones who come on comms saying, "Mayday, mayday, this Bravo 22 taking enemy fire! I repeat, we are taking enemy fire and are losing altitude."

[@Spendingryan]

I'm just happy the wing hardpoints are being used lol, we've had them on pelicans since halo reach and we never saw fuel or ordnance outfitted, Halo 2 Anniversary has the rocket pods mounted basically on the model which is cool.

[@JohnSmith-es9uo]

@@Spendingryan If I recall from the novels, after crash landing on Halo they had very low supplies and ammo for the Pelicans, forcing them to be glorified busses rather than the gunships they were supposed to be. And if you don't have the ammo for the pods, there's no point loading them onto the pelican so you can save weight and fuel.

[@Spendingryan]

@@JohnSmith-es9uo fair point, but we've had those hardpoint slots since the halo reach model, which is where they were first introduced those multi purpose fighter jet kinda like hardpoints, halo 3 did it differently with those angled rocket pods that detach from the wings

[@sam23696]

How is this not how the TV show was? The sense of foreboding and smooth transition into the introduction to the characters entering the scene on Pelicans is literally Triple A quality storyboarding that you'd expect from a multi-million dollar project. Yet here we have it, for free, from a single person making it for fun. Also, I love how the Pelicans are in this scene. They actually look heavy, clean matte grey military machines. Instead of jank or just shiny they actually look like highly capable aircraft.

I have the thought at least once every day about dedicating the rest of my life to adapting halo the right way to either a miniseries or movie trilogy.... I have whole scenes thought out in my head and some written down, and minor changes to make things more coherent for the switch from games to film... THIS is absolutely the kind of thing I have in mind! So many of the existing cutscenes can be drawn out, adding new elements like the engagement with the Spirit that you had, to make some incredible movie scenes!

[@vasya4739]

This goes hard. Showing the unique traits of a pilot during alien combat is crazy. This is the remake we would have asked for if we could.

[@jafooli]

Crazy to think we'll have in game graphics like that soon

[@guacysock]

It’s incredible, but the cutscene length did go from 0:40 to 3:22. Like bungie’s cutscene directors said, what is keeping people from skipping this cutscene? I love it, but there’s a full 3 minutes of establishing shots until the beach landing. People would skip it for sure

[@connordavisj]

This is exactly the problem. Way too long, repetitive, and directionless. Just meaningless camera shot after meaningless camera shot with zero pacing, but the graphics are shiny so people fall over themselves drooling like children staring at jangling keys. The original establishes the island, the inbound pelicans, and your mission all at once while letting the player take in part of beach terrain to come before dropping them right into the action and it does it less than a minute.

[@natista4523]

I'm glad I'm not the only one complaining about that. The cinematography was overdone. Great visuals nonetheless.

[@velacosmos]

This is my issue with this cutscene remake, as well. The pacing is unwatchable, and takes away from the otherwise good work on modeling and camera work. And the rockets bounce off the Covenant ship's shields. Destruction does takes more time and effort, but this weakens the introduction.

[@Tallacus]

in the Flood novel its said the Pelican pilots used their mounted turrets to help soften up the beach, one of the Pelicans had a turret to use

[@docholiday7975]

Not unless it's been rewritten. Foehammer uses a coaxial chin gun to shred an elite on an outlying spit prior, but that exhausts the last of the ammunition. It's part of the reason why the book has this big side bit of looting the Autumn to scavenge supplies.

[@AllDogsGoToHeavenn]

This is actualy really good

[@Dackerp]

Great job, nothing to add I wish the remake of Halo Ce was this one, or that if they are going to make a movie or series (worthy) it would have to be these people, incredible 20/10

[@Walkintakintoaster]

I like it a lot, but I think it’s has bad pacing issues. There’s also a lot of shots that are just to show off the assets. There’s a lot of cuts and shots that make it confusing as to what is actually happening. The beach drop is not hard hitting at all, it should be a lot faster. Stuff I do like? The aesthetic, the shot where 1 pelican turns to 3 (very badass), an added pelican/spirit interaction (although, it should be reworked to be done by a longsword. It makes more sense from a military role perspective)

[@KylewithaK]

I love how this is 20x better than anything paramount put together.

[@AndrewBentonElevationFilms]

Incredible work!! If I had to give some critique, it does feel a bit too slow and dramatic in a couple parts and the human skin textures feel a bit plasticky, but other than that, this really does feel incredible and the fidelity of the effects, animation, and environment is deffinately up there with what blur produced for H2 remaster.

The flipped perspective is my favorite part. The view from the alien-controlled island across a vast sea, and a bright metal glint over the horizon that can only be humans and their titanium birds. The spirit dropships seem so delicate and alien compared to phantoms, and I love how the pelican feels like a flying tank by comparison.
