Yeah, remember that part in the game where the Infinity was burning and Chief had a magnum pointed at him by Locke. And when Blue Team rushed into that meeting and shot up a bunch of terrorists? Or when John-117 was annouced as KIA to the galaxy?

Yup, how do you get "everything" out of that?AlertFiend wrote:They had everything to do with Halo 5.MisterUnggoy wrote:What were the hunt for the truth commercials and videos even supposed to mean?

Really? Tell me where Hunt the Truth tied into Halo 5 because I genuinely missed the link.AlertFiend wrote:They had everything to do with Halo 5.MisterUnggoy wrote:What were the hunt for the truth commercials and videos even supposed to mean?

343... why. And to some extent????? Ok........Noah B225 wrote:John was declared dead following the events on Meridian. The decision was taken by ONI, and it makes sense. They couldn't simply admit that humanity's hero, a guy who almost single-handedly ended the Covenant threat, went rogue. Not only would that be very demoralizing, but it would also lead to mass panic. Better to claim he's dead.
"All Hail" and "The Cost" were supposed to be metaphorical, not literal interpretations of what was to happen. I agree that it was overkill given that the Chief and Locke do not stay enemies for long in the game, but I understand where the intention came from.
The shooting at the diplomatic meeting happened before the events of Halo 5. The whole Hunt the Truth campaign was a way to talk about events surrounding the plot of Halo 5. They couldn't talk about the plot, so they developped lore around it. On one hand, it can be misleading, on the other, it's a great way to create more lore without spoiling the game.
Remember that live-action trailers and marketing operations such as Hunt The Truth are usually in great part made by different people than those who write the game. Sometimes it's all 343's marketing team, sometimes there's other companies contracted for those jobs too. It does not justify the lack of coherence, but it explains it. The writers at 343 simply needs to take more time to check on what the marketing teams are doing.
I understand - and, to some extent, agree - that the marketing was somewhat misleading. Yes, 343 overplayed the John going rogue thing in their marketing campaign. Still, Hunt the Truth season was a smart way to introduce the global context of the game without spoiling it. Not everything about Halo 5's marketing was bad or totally unrelated to the game in my opinion.
1. Not a literal trailer as anyone could see since there were two versions. 2. That actually happened. 3. He was announced KIA to the galaxy so that Locke could go after Chief.AftermaTh XCVII wrote:Yeah, remember that part in the game where the Infinity was burning and Chief had a magnum pointed at him by Locke.

HTT was the civilian side of the story and so it is fully canon. Chief was declared dead after Meridian so Locke could go after him. Do some actual research please.I NOOOB I wrote:Really?

Chief gone awol and Locke sent to retrieve him by any means neccesary?
K dudes Im gonna to have a fist fight with the widely accepted greatest supersoldier in our species history.
Which quickly became a 'Chiefs being misled and its our job to be 3 steps behind at all times during our rescue attempt.'
HTT and the advertising campaign of Rogue Chief vs Locke was great sadly imo it never even slightly became the story of Halo 5

I think the ads were meant to be misleading so you could ya know Hunt The Truth lol.RedMangabey wrote:It was just another of tons of misleading advertisements we got.
Yeah, let's not use misleading ads that people rely on to make a choice to purchase a product being charged from upwards to $60. That's not ethical.impanther2002 wrote:I think the ads were meant to be misleading so you could ya know Hunt The Truth lol.RedMangabey wrote:It was just another of tons of misleading advertisements we got.
