It'll probably be a new engine. They have built every game off a new engine, except Halo 3: ODST.
Bingo.
Have people forgotten the graphical leap from Halo 1, to Halo 2? It was absolutely phenomenal! They pushed the limits to the near end of the original Xbox. I'm sure they will improve just as much with this being their second game on the next gen console. And if not as much then at least enough change will occur, enough that is necessary for the time I believe.
WRONG. The halo engine has been all 3 halo games so far, and is a heavily modified version of the Havok engine. If halo were to keep the same core gameplay mechanics then they will do what they have done for all halo games; Upgrade the halo engine.

No YOU are wrong. There are three separate halo engines. The first one was a modified Havok engine for Halo: CE, the second was a modified of the first for Halo 2, and the third was a brand new engine (for the 360) that was based on the Halo 2 engine. That last engine was/is being used for Halo 3 and Halo 3:ODST.
