Or will it be using a new game engine? It will be 2010, and if the game is the next true installment in the Halo franchise, it will suffer if it doesn't look as crispy as it's competitors. Will I still eat it up? Heck yes. But will I be sadened at the dated graphics and physics of the game? Yes.

Comments.

I believe it will use a new engine, since it has been in production since 07'

It wouldn't take 3 years to make the game if the same engine were used

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

If it used the same engine it would be, Halo 3: Reach

So no, Reach will not use the same sytem as in Halo 3/ ODST.

Not likely, It's supposed to be unlike any halo we've seen befor in certain aspects, and the development time gives the chance for a better engine

Too bad Bungie hasn't made any moves to use the CryENGINE 3. (For those who don't know, it's basically an engine that enables Crysis like graphics for consols) I would be so excited if Halo was seen in the CE3. The physics and graphics surpass any other game, and that's not an opinion.

DDOS'd Amazon's servers F5ing for Swag Bags...yeah I was there. :)

7-7-11 was another awesome Bungie Day! Thanks Bungie for making halo so amazing over the last 10 years. Can't wait to see what your Destiny will be next. ;)

I would think they would go with an entirely new engine. This should be a totally new game experience.

Also, with there being a beta ran for Reach, that also makes me think they are using a new engine. At least a heavily modified version of their current engine. Then they can use the Beta to see how it holds up on a global scale.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is a new engine, as it is a totally new game, not a continuation or expansion. Not to mention i'm sure they've been working on this one for some time if they are already preparing a public beta.

No new multiplayer, lack of 3, etc. if it was run on Halo 3's engine. Plus it's been in production for 2 years and will be released after 3 - it's safe to say it's a new engine.

Hope so. Bigger maps!

Corrine Yu from Gearbox is working on the engine.

I would like to point out (due to some comments being made) that a new engine doesn't necessarily mean bigger maps or better gameplay.

Halo 3 is for noobs. Gg NoRe.

Yea lets hope they do. If they don't they are going to put it a step backward. ...

Yeah probably a new game engine, but I'm just guessing.

Apologies, but my question is where? Many people on these forums throw the word "confirmed" around like it was going out of style. If your E3 comment is true, i'm jealous, but that still isn't a published confirmation, I could easily say I hung out with the Bungie crew in Kirkland once, and they confirmed that Reach is about Spartan I's but that doesn't mean jack.

No offense.

Don't, know about physics, but there's a brand new graphics engine.

As long as the game looks polished and compares to Gears, Fallout 3 or Mass Effect I would be extremely happy, graphics of course.Halo 3 was a disappointment to me (e.g. The Halo 3 Teaser trailer compared to in game Ark scene). Storyline they can't go wrong due to the fact that Nylund has already written the book.

I understand that. A new engine doens't promise anything. It could be a worse or better off with one. But I trust Bungie to do great. On the otherhand, I hate Gearbox's games, and I don't like the handeling of them. I'm nervous about Bungie using Gearbox. I don't understand why they partnered with them. They are a class C gaming company in my opinion. And it's not like Bungie couldn't have handpicked anyone else... anyone who has the oppritunity to partner with the guys who own Halo rights knows better than to turn it down.

Real quick, MS owns the Halo IP, not Bungie anymore. Also I have never seen anything from Bungie or MS confirming the involvement of Gearbox in any capacity, but i'd love to see it if you have.

Well, Nylund's book is mainly from the space aspect of the fall of Reach. And I have a hunch that Reach will be on the ground, asuming from the teaser. Even though the ground battles were touched on in First Strike and TFoR, I think some new sub-plots will need to be scripted.

With physics, it'll probably be some upgraded Havok system.
