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. :P



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.

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

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

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.
I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.

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.

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.

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.

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?
