I love the entire Halo series, Halo 2 being my favorite of the games. I think that the universe is compelling and the story is deep, sweeping, and powerful. The hidden layers in the Halo trilogy and rich details of the backstory in the novels are something I love to be lost in, and im greatly looking forward to the story that Halo: Reach will weave. Bungie has carefully and lovingly crafted a mythic tale that will stay etched in my mind until the end.

I agree with the OP... Even in terms of immersion, Halo 3 had beautiful graphics, and I love Halo 3 for everything that it is, with so many awesome extra things and nearly endless possibilities of fun and excitement... But E3 2007's trailer of Halo 3 was... incredible, yet unfortunately it was toned down.
Hopefully this does not happen again, but even if it the graphics ultimately go untouched... I probably wouldn't even care that much. A Bungie game, is a Bungie game, and they have yet to fail me... So I'll buy it and most likely enjoy it for sure anyway! Lol
i dont understand what you mean by that. The E3 2007 trailer showed nothing but actual gameplay and cutscenes from the campaign. Go back and watch the trailer again and watch closely, because i can assure you that ever scene in the trailer actually happens in campaign. You might be thinking of the Halo 3 Believe trailer, which showcased a large battle using painting models and sculptures, or the 60 second tv ad that showed once during the super bowl, because both the 60 second super bowl ad and the Halo 3 Believe trailer did not happen in the game AT ALL, and it was very misleading.
More on topic, it probably will not be on a different engine. The beta for Halo: Reach will be available to download when we buy ODST on Sept. 22, which is only a few months from now. It would be nearly impossible to create a brand new high tech graphics engine, AND develop a full, new game from Sept. 25, 2007, to be ready to be played by Sept. 22, 2009(only 2 years). Expect Reach to have the same graphics as Halo 3. And to me, thats not a bad thing. Im not a whiny moron who cries over graphics. Halo 3 was an amazing game, and its a very pretty, very artistically crafted game.
