Maybe it's an 'academy' type game.

I mean, that's basically what Reach amounted to, right? The place where they trained spartans?

And then the Covenant showed up and there was a big battle. But I'm sure it'll be more about the training than the enormously significant battle.



What I'm really looking forward to in Halo: Reach is fighting Elites again. Yeah. Sick of Brutes.

Didn't the Covenant end up glassing Reach though?  Been a while since I read that book.

[SpardaSon21]

They only glassed it partially, then landed lots of troops to hold it and search for some Forerunner stuff buried there.

I was pretty pleased with ODST so I have strong hopes that this will turn out pretty good as well, especially if they take a different slant on it the the standard MC fair.

the suggestion that  it will be squad-based is promising..
EDIT: that's the ingame stuff!??
awesome.

That trailer is simply boring.

[General Battuta]

No it's not, especially not if you know what it is. It's a cinematic taken from the game, rendered in-engine in real-time. It's rather impressive.

More importantly, it shows off the characters and attention to detail Bungie's employing.

I don't like the music.  =/

[General Battuta]

WAT

Heresy! I thought it was pretty heart-pumping.

Also, I take back the earlier statement. mxlm could be right: the trailer might be a bit dull if you're not a Halo junkie. BUT I AM.

I, uh, knew that already

My favorite part isn't the squad based play, or the music.  It's that the Spartans are finally being given some non-book time character!  The different armor, varying emblems and personalities (at least the ones visible in the trailer) are what I've been waiting for for quite a few years now.

[IceFire]

The trailer makes things look pretty exciting.  What I think is cool story wise is that we already know that Reach was a massive battle that ended badly for humanity.  So with the basic path already set there's quite a bit of really cool stuff that can be done but we know it's going to end on what is probably a sad note.  All of those beautiful locations.... glassed.

Looking forward to the possibilities of squad based combat and a new story.  I love that they have already shown off a dropship like aircraft that looks a bit like a Pelican but with more conventional/throwback propeller blades.  Looking forward to more new old stuff

Good music, amazing atmosphere, and bad-ass looking Spartans. (Helmet paint and arm prosthetic?)
What's not to like?

Question: What's Lone Wolf carrying, doesn't really look like a BR.
