Halo Aniversary? Is anyone else a bit confused or disorientated? I mean I think it's a nice idea but using the Halo Reach ARMY models to replace my beloved metal wearing leathernecks and using Halo Reach S-IIIs for multiplayer?

Honestly I saw glimpses of my feared Halo enemies; The Flood! [Never could make sure they were dead]. I can saw I'm happy that the MA5 will be getting it's 60 round clip but why use the prototype? Halo had the MA5B AR. I think I just wished they went about it cannon-ly. I loved the Halo Reach Elites, they're aggressive and challenging but after Reach I'm confused on rank structure.

You obviously haven't met my younger brother then.

I saw no flood at what point does it show?!?!

Due to some e-mail dumbness, my GT is not the one listed on my profile. My GT is the same as my board name.

0:35 in the video, you can barely make them out. It's not a good glimpse but they're there.

I usually build an opinion around what the Community says. I say we're half and half.

Eh easily changable. I mean, i don't care about the mp. I feel like the single player is still getting tweaking for the weapon looks, etc.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

They reused things from Reach
I'm still very weary of it.

It's Campaign that I'm worried about. I liked it before. I'll play it sure but what has changed? I don't want to run around with ARMY grunts from Reach or hold the MA5 AR. Well scratch that. Everyone is afraid of change or not, just worried.

If you look there's only regular grunts (though no weird grunts from halo 1?) and the elites are all default. I mean it's using the reach engine, but things aren't necessarily all made the same

the update are better. you have to remember when using a different game engine and given the time microsoft wants the game to come out. you use what you have. I can't wait.

I used a warhog to ramp off a wraith in Halo. Damn straight I'll use what I get. [6 tries to get it right btw]

The Elites aren't all default. The white one with the sword is clearly a Zealot, or at least has the armor that Reach calls "Zealot." The red elite walking (along what appears to be the launch bay of the T&R) has what looks like the original Halo 1 armor updated.

Now that you mentioned the Major from the that it does look like it belongs to Halo Legend's The Package. I also saw that Zealot [leaping around like Halo elites.]. They should've just let them be Halo Reach Elites, more challenging and aggressive.

Is it wrong to complain about using the Reach engine when, cannon wise, Halo 1 takes place minutes after Reach.

Think about that.

Anyway.... the Halo 4 trailer had weapon attachments...

Jet packs are not FTW! It reminded me of Dead Space 2.

Whenever someone says Bungie can do no wrong, my only reply is "Remember Reach".

... another halo reach in a mask =( the MP has AA and i cant tell if bloom is back. Have to watch and see if its worth the trouble.
