Behold, the might of... well, Halo 3: ODST, I guess!

On the left, you can see a number of skull icons. All on the screen is the immediate 4-player co-op style. The top left intrigues me, possibly showing the wave number and player crouch/standing posistion?

The top right is a score, duh.

Something else I noticed: look at the bottom left. Grenade count. I say no more.

The E3 demo showed quite a bit. I'm sure you'll see videos of the gameplay on Youtube within a few hours.

I thought it was gonna be added to the regular halo 3 story mode missions but under the last mission

Watch out with that robot arm, you might rip your own.. gentlemanly parts.. off.

The most highlighted icon looks like it could stand for 'Tough Luck' I'll give it that..

The Flood Revolution is coming...

Seeing as how waves will have skull multipliers, I'm sure that's what it's all about.

My Grunty claws will STING!

He's gone, thank the nipple!

Dude! Looks like Bungie's bringing back 4 of each grenade type. Also, if you notice the tags above the people, it looks like you service tag can now be 4 numbers or letters. There are quite a few four letter words i can imagine people typing, so i think we will see "Blam" quite a bit.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Compass for the win.

I noticed that too.

How is that going to work though? Can you have 4 grenades of each type, even at the same time? That seems a little over powering.

Firefight looks like a horde/survival mode which is going to be awesome.

Man cave.

And Bungie thought we wouldn't notice these. =P

Keep it classy Flood.

Is it bad that I'm wishing that summer was already over for this game?

Just kidding, I love the summer. The only three months were it is possible to swim outside (I live in MN).
