[quote]Today, at San Diego Comic-Con, 343 Industries and Scott Free Productions gave show-goers and the Halo Nation a first look at Halo: Nightfall, the original live-action digital series executive produced by Ridley Scott set to release this November on Xbox. During the panel, 343 Industries premiered the series’ official first-look video, as Executive Producer Kiki Wolfkill, Franchise Development Director Frank O’Connor, Scott Free TV President David Zucker, and Halo: Nightfall cast members offered new details on the series plot and a look behind-the-scenes of the production.
Taking place between the events of Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, Halo: Nightfall follows the origin story of legendary manhunter Jameson Locke (Mike Colter) and his team as they are caught in a horrific terrorist attack while investigating terrorist activity on the distant colony world of Sedra. Led by Locke, the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) agents are forced to coordinate with a Sedran commander with a remarkable history and deep-rooted mistrust of ONI. As the plot unravels, they’re drawn to an ancient, hellish artifact where they’re forced to fight for their survival, question everything, and ultimately choose between their loyalties and their lives. Agent Locke is a new character in the Halo universe poised to play a major role in Halo 5: Guardians releasing on Xbox One in 2015.
Led by world class talent such as executive producer Ridley Scott, Scott Free TV President David Zucker, award-winning director Sergio Mimica-Gezzan (Battlestar Galactica, Pillars of the Earth, Heroes), and written by Paul Scheuring (A Man Apart, Prison Break), Halo: Nightfall takes full advantage of Xbox One’s seamless blend of high-quality visuals and rich interactive storytelling features, connecting the games and the series in innovative new ways.
“In science fiction, we're always searching for new frontiers. We're drawn to the unknown,” said Scott. “With Halo: Nightfall, we're pioneering a new medium in terms of interactive storytelling on Xbox. It’s going to be fun for long-time fans to see how the worlds come together with an ambition to attract new fans along the way with what we’ve created.
Halo: Nightfall is included as part of the Halo: The Master Chief Collection and will be accessible digitally on Xbox Live beginning on November 11, 2014.[/quote]

[quote]-Alpha Halo ---Fragment emerges from slipspace near Sedra; crashes onto planet[/quote] uhhhhhhhh wat
-
looks cool
-
Wouldn't the fragment crashing cause all life on that colony to go extinct? The weight and speed of it would be enough to block out the entire atmosphere with dirt and ash.
-
The element is what's used in the composer.
-
Nothing in that trailer was hype
-
Updated with the SDCC Nightfall panel.
-
"Meh"
-
Didn't really hype me.. I don't know why.
-
Where's OrderedComa? We need her objective view on this.
-
This trailer didn't quite do it for me ...

[quote]---Deep mistrust of ONI[/quote]Is this referring to Locke? Because that's a bit odd considering he has an ONI logo slapped on his Mjolnir armour.
-
While Locke's team looks for the source of the black compound deadly to humans, research team B investigates a Forerunner ship and finds a stasis chamber still active...
-
Interview with Mike Colter on his character.
-
will there be an end credits scene? Inb4halofollowertheories
-
B-Roll footage. Interesting. Their armor is gold. They must have used gold so when the filter is applied to the footage it makes it look shiny as silver/grey.
-
Thanks to twitter, I now know the Narrative Designer on Halo 5 is a pole dancer. Do with that information what you will.
-
One of my absolute favourite things is how the music in the trailer appears to be a remake of Covenant Dance's drums.
-
I'm excited, have been for weeks. Actually, this ^ is my current iPhone background...

Transcript of the dialogue courtesy of Chronarch. [quote]"They're saying they got their hands on a compound that selectively kills humans and nothing else." "It's not a compound, it's an element." "This is on you. You know that, don't you? They weren't after us, they're after you. UNSC. Because you're operating here, on our soil." "People eight to ten kilometers are being affected." "It'd be a bold move. Send a team in to destroy the deposits and nab whoever it is that's mining the stuff." "We didn't find out what he was carrying, but we found out where it came from. Says it's sourced from a place they don't wanna go, he says it's sourced from hell."[/quote]

I am going to laugh if Locke is announced as the spawn of Avery and Jilan.

wonder where/what the chief is up to in the show (he's in in right? i remember being told he was)
