G.R.I.E.F. Trailer

In a world overrun with hoodlums, criminals and vagabonds— griefers — one government agency rises to take a stand against an abomination that threatens the very existence of Matchmaking.

This is a trailer for our new Halo mini-series that should be hitting next month, titled, as you all know, G.R.I.E.F. It’s going to be an action/comedy series with a heavy emphasis on the action. We’re excited about it, and you should be too.

Stay tuned to the site for some more cool announcements and extras this week (some of it TLW related) that you definitely don’t want to miss. Huzzah!

Edit: Much thanks to Burnie from Rooster Teeth for the shout out. You all should go check out Ep 12 of Reconstruction.

    As soon as i saw this, i dashed to the page only to find MARTH had beaten me to the first post. -_-” Soooooo…. second.

    Looks and sounds awesome guys. Cant wait for Web Zeroes, either.
    When will that start?

    HA HA EDDY
    Young Love. Cool.

    Wow I can’t wait, this looks awesome. You guys are amazing I love all of your work, you’ll go far with this.

    SFF must taunt us so with such magical trailers? Stop the torture and give it to us! We wants it!

    This just popped up on WeGame in the H3 group (that I run). Anyways, love your work! This trailer is a great birthday present (25th).

    I can’t wait!

  18. lol?

    The trailer is pretty pro 😀 bold series though lol.
    *waits for people to spam and say that this is a rip off of red vs. blue* xD
    lol how is that possible

  24. BlOoDy BuDdy

    Yea, um… I really think that the leader is Westheimer from The Leet world? Y dont u put other CT-s as well then?

    Nope. I didn’t do a voice for this trailer. That’s actually Ty, who also voices Mendoza.

    woo!! first post in a while!!!

    im so glad the Gunstop guy is back….this trailer was constructed on paradoxes

    Great trailer, hope this does well when its out, i know i will like it 😀

    Ps: HAZZAH!

    [quote comment=”11021″]Great trailer! The music sounds familiar… hehe :P[/quote]

    there was definitely some research done for this one…

  45. AlphaHawk

    Well if you’ve seen TLW then you’re inevitably going to think about the T’s and CT’s, but the challenge for these guys is to make sure people know this series is different from TLW. Still, whoever said “Huzzah” that I liked 🙂

  47. Leonidas117

    I’ve kept up with TLW since it started, but I checked the music and found no relation. It sounds like a final fantasy rendition of the Pirates of the Caribbean song. Just an observation. If you guys would like to advertise, Eddy, Nick, Daniel, check out GamerChiefs.com. We’ve got 500 people who’d be in awe over your amazing shorts and the Leet World. We also capture videos, and me and some friends are working on a podcast as I type. I’ll tell them about you guys.

  48. Asian

    I think I heard the voice of Chet with the one that yelled “GRIEFERS!” I think.

    Looks like this’ll be good.

    The one that says HUZZAH is done by the voice of Westheimer?
    Same voice for the other Halo 3 short?

  50. zombie bait

    so its chet and i think umm ellis and i know that the third voice is westhimer or daniel right? anyone want to continue it?

    No, griefers are people that join servers, and dileberatly disrupt them.

  52. Mr.C0nsoleG4mer

    LOL i like the idea but it kinda reminds me a bit of RvB (which plenty of people will no doubt say that too). Although that’s no bad thing, really. Is the Huzzah! guy the Will Farrel/Shakespearian guy fron the shorts? I love that guy! 😀

  54. devildog1785

    :O this looks epic, but the beginning of the music sounded well not as great as b4, other wise awesome!!!!!

  56. PlayuRFTW?

    Huzzah is a word with… many meanings
    I dare you to choose one.. no.. 😀

    looks…kick..ASS!!

  57. NicoyaPapi08

    that trailer was awesome
    cant wait for G.R.I.E.F to come out
    also how long will this last
    maybe a couple episodes or a couple seasons? (who knows)

  61. HuckDoll

    BRavo and, dare I say, huzzah!
    finally a group who will step up and take care of the malevolent scourge that has plagued Halo 3 matchmaking for so long.
    Great trailer. I’m hype-zored.

    The whole series is going to be pretty over the top.

    Ha, I have to say that all of us are just baffled that everyone thinks Westheimer’s voice is in this, seeing as how I didn’t do a single voice in the trailer 🙂

    the whole idea was to make it outrageous and trailer-esque. pirates music is one of the most over the top anthems ever. its similar, but not even the same. and if anyone wants me to hear their music, i would gladly listen 🙂

    Hello, Eddy said the one that said Huzzah! in the trailer wasn’t Westheimer’s voice. -.-

    So I’m guessing that it’s the voice of Ellis.

    [quote comment=”11089″]putthe trailer on machinima u need more viewers so u can have some represintation[/quote]

    I’m not interested in Machinima.com making money off ad space on the videos that we post. Besides, more than 80 percent of Machinima.com’s viewers don’t understand that Machinima.com doesn’t actually make the videos that they post, and they’re not too keen to point people away from themselves, so it wouldn’t help that much.

    Aw ug… Sorry to bring up the music theory. I didn’t know u guys will get this much “slamming”… WHY WHY WHY!!! :'(

  87. samy

    guys where is mater chief? he would deal wiht these GRIEFERS any ways once again good and also good job on theleetworld 😛

  88. devo

    perty jaked about this, if the trailer is an indication of good(nes?) then it is very good. and also u gyse should band together with rvb and make a super series, im super serial.

  89. Chazzy Fresh

    Well I skimmed through most of the comments and yes… I am baffled… I could have sworn that was your voice, Eddy. But I shouldn’t be so surprised, Ty’s voice acting is amazing: “huzzah!” “I told you never to use my name!” and his super-crazy-go-awesome impression of don draper ~~~(I actually did not vote becuase I wasn’t sure whether I liked his act becuase he’s/was mendoza, or becuase it was so good(most likely both)).~~~ sorry no more parenthsis 🙂
    “““““““““““““““““““
    ** Which brings me to this question 😉 -> Are there more/new people voice acting in ‘G.R.I.E.F.’? **

    P.S.!!!#!@#!@$! Sorry about the long comments. Peace foo(s).

    P.S.S. (sorry) Thanks for the 5 minutes to make corrections on our comments!

    haha, i guess no one remembers the huzzah guy from “The Over Achiever” and “Gunstop Way”. I did the voice, its the same character, the cqb. I kind of love him and I cry every time someone thinks eddy did the voice. thx.

  93. Jangaroo

    This was such an awesume trailer, im really looking foward to it! I have to say between this, TLW, and Rvb Reconstruction, im going to have a good year.

    So I WAS right with my second guess 😀

    I listened to the trailer more closely a few times, and I heard a hint of Ellis.

  95. Sir_Godspeed

    I dunno why people think this is like RvB , clearly we’re having to do with a small elite group with distinct personalities and dysfunctions who’re kicking the asses of generic 14-year old-minded players.

    It reminds of a Fellowship of the Ring like thing, actually.

    Great work! 😀

    Love the leader voice, btw. It’s got grit.

  97. LOL RoFlCoPtEr

    What does G.R.I.E.F. mean. What each of the letters mean. Is it just a part of the word griefers or its like the F.B.I (federal bureau of investigation) and the letters mean something.

  98. GainesWorthy

    Eddy you sure you weren’t the Movie Theater Man? (Who has the lines; “Beyond our Borders there…etc…..” in the beginning AKA the guy who narrates the trailer) That sounds kind of like you…… Heh, I mean It could be Daniel, Ty, Nick, Jeff, or even Jace. Or possibly an unknown source O_o!

    EDIT: Also I doubt they will tell us what G.R.I.E.F. Stands for. Getting Ready for Incinerating Evil fucks? I don’t know…

  99. devo

    its funny how very few pplz comment on how this is like rvb, but you see a lot of comments on how people are flaming people who say tht. anyway i cant say it enough, i NEED this to continue living. this looks sooooooo good.

  101. Kuru

    I came into this pretty late in the game (ep 10 onwards) after stumbling over the original leet world trailer.
    I was suitably impressed and watched the actual series and was blown away.

    Watching the shorts such as “Bag boy” and “The Gunstop way” whetted an appetite for another Halo based show. The trailer for G.R.I.E.F. has furthered that, and now I can’t wait.

    Keep up the great work!

    Thanks for making me smile.

    You’re right. I knew we should have gone with Viva Pinata.

  111. Trey3rdeee

    Holy shit if you were to do a michinima using Viva Pinata I would have a heart attack from the shear joy! That would be the strangest yet funniest one of them all!

    Oh and it looks great, I was hoping you would do something with a lot more explosions/action and this looks like it will have it. You guys are great at telling a story, so my hopes are really high for GREAF.

  112. R. Thompson

    Yes! The triumphant return of my favorite character from the shorts! I cannot stop laughing whenever I hear the chivalric tone in that goofy voice, typically declaiming something obvious:

    “Stay your weapon my friend, this foe seeks our interaction through words, not force.”

    “Perhaps I can barter for a new weapon. The day is mine!”

    “Noble storefront worker,”

    “Your speech is constructed on paradoxes!”

    “What does the M inscribed on the side of this large, dangerous gun stand for?”

    That guy is gold. Thanks for the laughs Daniel.
