Now, I wanted to point out some major features I saw in the Halo: Reach main picture.

First, the characters standing at the bottom of the globe:
Large Image, make sure it is zoomed in for clarity

The picture is annotated to show my own observations, each can be refuted (and I would personally like this to start discussion rather than a chain of "omg ur so rong!11!@!!!1" posts)

Here's the blown-up picture I used, that you can annotate the picture with your own observations:
Blank version

Next, which is easily noticed without any annotated picture, is the change in the Halo logo. It has obviously been slimmed down and had corners/details removed, while also adding some curves to once-cornered areas of the letters. The most change appears in the H and O; the H has been extremely slimmed, and has a more curved appearance. The O is missing the ends of both left sides and the circle inside is missing its protruding line.

If you have any personal observations you'd like to share, or disagree with my own, here's where you can post them.

Thanks,
-Teltaur

Is nobody interested in this? I'm sorry for the bump, but I thought some of you might want to have a larger view of the picture and see some ides/observations

Just thought I would add that the gun doesn't look like an AR to me, but more like a BR because it seems to have a extended barrel. Just me though, who knows what guns will be in this game.

Small observations, they are well thought out. Seems like you hit the dot on that one.

Now that you point it out, I think you may be right. It could even be an SMG, but the (assumed) Spartan's arm distorts any form of gun (s)he's holding.

Hm. The chain-gun looks like something straight out of Marathon. And did anyone notice that the planet they're standing in is folded on the inside? It could be a simple image trick for the silhouette, but with Halo, you never know. -CB

Ya, originally, I just passed it off as an effect for the picture, but it could also have some form of symbolic meaning. I doubt it, though, since the background is obviously a planet and not anything that would be folded on the inside (like a Halo ring)

Excellent picture analysis... make sure you check out all the new screenshots and even some the older concept work on the armor. I'm also noticing the slender-er soldier and yeah first thought was possibly female but also because some of the armor is much smoother... which is a common trait for female characters... anyway just spitball'n here.

What screenshots, exactly? And are you talking about concepts from their other games, or something else?

soon i will get my xbl account back and and rejoin the halo ranks

I was reading fall of reach today and noticed some stuff.

no.1 In the weapons locker of the pioneer it says that sam was a head taller than the chief and the strangest of them. seems like he could be the bigger figure in the picture


no.2 Same page fred was described playing with a razor edged combat knife. much like the figure to the right has.


no.3 Same page says linda likes the sniper so that might be obvious.

The figure in the middle and the one just too its left if matching with the others would be kelly and john.


Just speculation not really that good of evidence to say anything.
