OMG epic!

Is that pic what the game will look like in-game or is that sort of like placeholders?
Plus is that BG and ground gonna be better?

So epic yet so unrevealing.
I have to say i did NOT expect it to be so different!
Wow, just amazing!

I like it,

I love the attention to detail, especially the female spartans short cropped hair like in the books as apposed to Halo: Legends.

Great facial detail, a definite improvement on ODST.

Great musical score.

The visuals didn't live up to my expectations, admitedly they are an improvement, but they are in no way groundbreaking or stunning.

Also I would like to ask where you have put my colour bungie? The colour Pallet of the Halo series, is vibrant and unique, it's what really sets it apart from other games. The washed out, grey feel of the trailer really ruins it for me, it makes it like every other war game out there. I just hope the covenant can bring me my colour.

I couldn't help but cringe at the line "spartans never die, they're just missing in action." In the novels it was a very emotional statement, and was very inspiring yet sad at the same time, almost creating a legend. In the trailer it seems thrown away and doesn't feel right. Simply saying "Didn't you know, spartans never die..." would have been much more effective and then you could have gone into more detail later into the game stating how they are never reported as KIA only MIA

wuzap pplz lolol
also, c0nz through Bungie Day

somewhere i read that Reach was going to be like the jump from halo 2 to halo 3
i hope that is true, but the screenshot doesn't look that much different
but hey, that doesn't mean that it looks awesome :D

  • 12.13.2009 5:20 AM PDT

That looks bloody amazing.
I love the music Marty, the theme really fits the scene, but uping the scale and "grandness" would make it amazing.
The graphics are amazing, the surroundings and environment and the nuke in the background was brilliant.
I love the new designs: helmets, weapons, vehicles, the inside of the helmet, the arm (the prosthetic one), the buildings. However I have to say that the scout helmet really doesn't allow the field of view a scout would really want.
I really hope you guys can really up the AI on this one, I'd love to just watch other spartans do what they do with super efficiency. Theres alot of pressure on the programmers here.
I hope we get to at least see if not fight with or fight in Blue team. That would make the game.

Awesome work guys.

The trailer was disappointing if you ask me. No gameplay and no action either. Fail.

I just noticed a Magnum Pistol on his leg...can it be the long waited return of the Halo CE Pistol!

I was expecting the launch date for the Halo Reach Beta to be announced, the trailer was good

Hard to believe those are in-game assets. Had to blink a couple of times!

Finally got around to posting in here. All I have to say is that I love you Urk (in a completley non homo-blam!- way of course ;P). Without you I would not have seen the epicness of that 2.5 minute Reach splurge. Just make sure everything is as good-or better-than that and I'll be a happy camper.

Then there are the people who poop in the mash potatoes. Those people get launched out on their asses.

Damn. This is very nice. Excellent work to the Bungie team.

5 out of 6 pediatricians can't tell the difference between a resident vagabond and a local hobo.

A couple things I noticed that need confirmation:
-If you have watched the first part of the 3rd halo legends episode, isn't the female spartan the same as in this trailer, even though they have different helmet permutations?
- When the sniper spartan says "you picked one hell of a day to join up", is that a french accent or russian, I'm really hoping not french...
- The commander is not seen in the main Reach icon picture, so I'm assuming he dies quickly, but then again I think they all die.
- do you think the extra large back mount on the heavy(1:12) and the odd looking back mount on the sniper(1:29) will factor into some sort of gameplay difference?

Yes, I was hoping for an un-shadowed view of Noble Team.

Thanks!

Awesome! Graphics look sick!

  • 12.13.2009 6:38 AM PDT

Watched the VGAs for 2 hours for this. IT WAS WORTH IT.

  • 12.13.2009 6:43 AM PDT

Go Rams and Missouri!

Great cinematic, but that new logo for Reach is damn tight.

  • 12.13.2009 6:51 AM PDT

2 words; Frickin beast.

I am pre-ordering as soon as I get a chance.

This is probably because ALL of the other halo games have conveyed a mood of hope and wonder. This game is all about dread.

We've already fought against the covennt 6 times, and the forrunner 4 times, so there's no wonder left.

This. Is. Awesome.

Is this an in-game cinematic? The graphics are really impressive, although I do agree about the color; I would really like to see some more vibrance.

Urk, thank you for that wonderful eyegasm, too bad things will always be awkward between us now, just waiting for the next eyegasm to happen..
Oh well.
I'd like my breakfast now please.

Then I have to go, I had plans today...to go do stuff, sorry we can't hang out like you wanted to.

Flipping awesome, Bungie.

I'm thinking we're going to see the ascendancy of vehicles as true modes of transportation and not mere throwaways. Not only that, but I'm interested to see their weapons, as the ones they have appear to be modified in some way, like the BR-like thing on his back.

And of course, I can't really argue with a whole team of spartans rocking everyone's stuff. Keepin' it PG.
