Halo: ODST Trailer

During the Comic-Con festivities, Microsoft dropped this trailer for Halo: ODST. And while the meat and potatoes looks just fine, anyone else think the trimmings – the music and voice acting – aren’t quite up to Bungie’s usual standards?

    Any cast that includes Nathan Fillion is an instant sale for me.

    Ummm this trailer has been around for months…. and no i don’t think there’s anything wrong with the music and voice acting. And even if there was it’s just a early trailer that sets the scene – not in any way representative of how music and voice acting will be withing the game play of the finished product.
    Plus i would look past anything just to see (or hear) members of the firefly cast working together again.

    I’d disagree, sounds much more polished than Halo 3 did, especially with the music. There’s only so many times Halo 3 could play the same theme before I got bored of it.

    Maybe they are pissed that Microsoft is cutting them loose?

    As far as I know, MS didn’t show anything at Comicon that wasn’t already shown at E3.

    About the only thing added were the extra justifications for why ODST is now a “full priced” game.

    Please feel free to correct.

    It’s the audio production. The music is fine, the voice acting is fine – the mix and master of the video’s audio track makes it seem flat, a little bland. If anything, the video production isn’t up to Bungie’s standard.
