waaaay back when, bungie posted a weekly update talking about how they were testing a new physics engine (had the chief in a recliner hurling johnson out of a cannon into these pillar things and they watched him fall in various ways as he went down.) that they were planning to use later. according to everything that we've seen, ODST uses the halo 3 engine. will Halo Reach use this new engine? what do you guys think?

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

As far as graphics go, I think the gaming world would need Reach to have a new graphics engine. Halo 3's graphics are amazing, in my opinion, but a year from now they may be slightly dated by new-game standards.

For physics, though, I'm ok with seeing a revised HAVOK engine (which is what Halo 2 and Halo 3 use). Halo 3's use of the engine is incredible, some of the best game-physics I've seen, but it could still be tweaked a bit more to be even better.

were it so easy...

Yea i think a new engine would be cool. Maybe make it darker and less cartoony. I LOVE the halo 3 engine, but something new would be cool.

I'd hate if they took away Halo's cartoony look. It's incredibly original and I love it. More so than any other game's graphics. Gears 2 included.
