So is it possible for some brand new abilities besides what you can do in halo 1, 2, and 3? Like taking cover and maybe even new weapons such as a combat knife?

EDIT: I'd also like to see better graphics as well as something promised for Halo 3 that was taken out. A reflective viser. Meaning that if you look into another persons viser it will show a real reflection

It's certainly possible.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I would like to see a new engine, but i like alot the Halo Engine, so i wouldint mind eather option.

And about cover, i would love to see a Halo with a cover system like R6: Vegas 2. But im sure their not going to do that.

You obviously don't know what a engine is.
Use wikipedia and learn something, then you don't have to ask questions like this one.
What you want are gameplay mechanics to be changed, this has nothing to do with the games graphic/physic engine.

Dedicated driver.

I think they are staying with the Havoc engine which they've been using since Halo CE. And I hope they do. It's got some really nice physics.

That's called real time reflections.

And no, there will not be a cover system, it will remain similar to the previous 3 Halo games. New weapons? Probably.

I heard bungies been working on this since 2007 because they made a new engine for the game. I wouldn't mind a cover system, but not the Gears cover system. I like the Mass Effect cover System. But Halo is probably better without it.

There is already a reflection in visors...

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I doubt they will do anything that requires player animations that restrict your movement, one major thing halo always had was constant smooth movement.

Not real reflection, the reflection is just a blank map. It is a tool used in any games that try to cheat when simulating reflectivity, it isn't even reflecting, just showing an image built into the visor that was customized for each map. Real reflections, like in many of 3D realms' games, would show players, objects, even decals.
