Nice article! The new Grunts look so bad ass.

And it's good to see you here Sketch, I thought you forgot about us :P

I don't like the new grunt. I like its old face and pointier back. The new one doesn't look as aggressive. On the other hand, I love the new AR look. Bungie artists did a great job remodeling it to look fresh without losing the iconic view of it that we all know and love! In my opinion, the warthog has had a very minor improvement which isn't bad at all since I love the halo 3 model. And the new elite just looks shinier. Anyways, this all does look really great and I look forward to playing it this fall!!! Thanks Bungie for making such an awesome game!

The AR in Reach actually has more polygons than an entire Marine character did in Halo 3.

Badassness.
New Marines look awesometacular too. Now the REAL question is will they actually be able to drive in the right direction? lol

Also, will there be firefight and forge in Reach?

Positive vibes.

So will the AR sound any different in Reach?

I jizzed a little when I read this.

It seems to be the case.

Apparently they sound a bit more concussive and explosive-like.
More manly and realistic.
I'm so psyched for Reach.

The new Grunt is BAMF

~ I hope someone from bungie reads this ~

The art looks incredible, and I deeply appreciate all you guys are doing...

I know this is a dumb question, and I don't doubt any of you, but are you going to make sure the gameplay is the main focus? I'm worried most about replay-ability and fun. Halo:Combat Evolved was so damn good...Halo 2 even better but Halo 3 I felt lacked a little campaign-wise, although I freakin' loved it.

I dunno. I guess my expectations are so high, and I want you guys to do really well because I'm super excited for the game.

Whatever happens, I'm still a fan. Thanks bungie.

EDIT: That sounded offensive. I'm not trying to be offensive Bungie, I just want to voice my...opinions?...as a member of the community.

When we joined The Covenant we took a oath; according to our station all without exception. On the blood of our fathers on the blood of our sons we swore to uphold that oath even to our dying breath.

But you still don't tell us if the Sangheili will be available as Multiplayer Models.

....whut?

I love the new art, but really... All I want... is a good freaking spawn system. It seems as time goes on, spawns in games (as a whole, Halo included) are getting worse. I hope Bungie will turn this horrible trend around.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Wow, everything looks really good! So excited :)

I like the new Grunts, AR, and Marines a lot. I think I'd have to see another picture of an Elite from a different angle; I'm still on the fence about that.

I can't really tell much of a difference besides updated graphics on the Warthog.

Everything looks great graphics-wise regardless.

Incredible. I love it. The humans and grunts look awesome!

The elites look badass. And the assault rifle? Totally changed. That is astounding my friend. Nuff said.

Go Halo. WIN!!!

Tell Marty wassup for me.

During this ten years, the tech has evolved, yes, but the spirit that made the characters of Halo: CE still living and it has the ability to modify itself for better.

In the first halo, the characters looked like folded desktops (comparing to nowadays tech).

In Halo 2 you gave them more details (was almost a miracle to see everything more real), they stop seeing as cubes.

And the great jump came in Halo 3, you gave them texture, your eyes make you wonder "How it'll fell to touch that alien skin!, That armor!, That weapon!".

And for Halo: Reach, you made both jumps in only one game. You made a masterpiece of art. Gave them the texture and the physical appereance (like if you just took the photo in your garden a minute ago or that the battle is happening next door).

I just don't have enough words to describe this masterpiece, but I'm sure your efforts will make the players feel that they are loking across a window, and not a TV.

I'm shocked; Bungie kicked asses again.

Now this was a great update! The Elites certainely look better than in Halo 3, same with the Marines and Grunts. Sounds also to me that the AR or DMR will have a more beastly sound to it. From what I've seen, this game will be far superior to Halo 3, but then again, who is honestly surprised?

Family guy

"John Footp3nis?"
"Its hancock now!"
"Why?"
"Mind your business thats why!"

this is the best update youve had in awhile.
Keep it up guys.
Love reach so far.

  • 01.26.2010 6:59 PM PDT

hey i love the new grunts and weapons and stuff...but i thought halo:reach was a past thing and none of the new stuff looks like it came from the past, it all looks like they are upgrades that come after halo 3 time than before it....

"We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams."

The more I see on this game, the more excited I get. I love seeing these shots too. You guys have such a high emphasis with pushing forward and raising the bar; and I love this about you. It's a personal philosophy I tenaciously hold on to.

I wasn't on board the Halo franchise until recently, but I can still appreciate how far this has come along.

An aside; the new grunt helmet reminds me of the Halo 3 Elite Flight helmet. I dunno, just something I noticed.

I think I'm most excited to hear them speak in their own respective languages, and see how you guys (and gals) handled that aspect!

Ramble ramble. I'm looking forward to our next peek!
