Subject: New or old Engine?

Just want some opinions on what people think whether Halo: Reach will have a whole new Engine or will they keep the same Halo 3 Engine.

I hope they make a whole new full Engine, (and bring back the Halo 2 BR Spread) ; )

Hopefully it is a FPS and not turn out like Halo Wars =/ ...
I just really wish this is a whole new engine, Halo 3 is indeed outdated now.

Did anyone see the Assassins Creed 2 trailer? It looked REAL! No joke. Insane graphics.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

More than likely a new engine since it's a new game.

but then again i did just see a teaser for a new halo game , and odst game play, so my excitment levels were off the charts =P

If this is a new engine the graphics/visuals are going to look insane. It will be Halo 2 to Halo 3 all over again but this time even better.

Only a small portion of Bungie have been working on ODST, so I reckon new unless their DNF lazy.

I suspect that they have bin working on this game for a long time. They had to be soing something in the last three years...doesn't take a whole dev team to make map and expansion packs.

I vote new engine or at least so upgraded it seems new.

Think of it this way, they probably wouldn't need to have a Public Beta if they were using the Halo 3 engine.

Exactly, Any Ideas on when we could expect to see the Beta, my guess is May (same as Halo 3's)...

Not true at all. Online betas are for testing networks.

Anyway, yea, I'm sure they will.

ODST does look a bit better than Halo 3 though. Very neat lighting effects...and sky boxes....
