People REALLY overanalyze things. "OMG Bungie r say sumthing no understood I didn't. REACHHHHH?"
If anything, look at where they said the Mariners were impressed by the new animations. Try to imagine what they could be working on. (Think like, adding boardings in Halo 2...)
Boarding, melees and new enemy animations (New berserk brutes/elites, whichever is in the game) would be my guess, along with jumping and reloading.
New animations doesn't necessarily mean new features. I was more interested in new 3d objects - it implies some pretty cool stuff, because I doubt they'd include that for just scenery.
Doesn't mean you can't analyze what's possible with new animations. Personally, I'm not a fan of any super-analyzing this early on, but I'm just pointing out that they've got one thing that they said about Reach, and then something else that could just be nonsense
But think about it. Really, what else can they make players able to do? Throw grunts? Club enemies with a mongoose? Sprint overlay fast, flip twice in midair and assassinate a chieftain?
We're pretty much at the pinnacle of what players can do. Beyond giving us superhuman powers, there's really not too much they can add.
As for enemies, they can EASILY get new abilities. Grunts might be able to hold two plasma pistols at once. Jackals might be able to bite you. Hunters...well, hunters might be able to literally melt you. Drones might be able to pick people up at will, rather than just where scripted. Jackals might be able to drive certain vehicles. Elites might be able to work together, covering each other from enemies and taking out squads of marines.
The possibilities for enemies are endless. Players? Not quite so much.
