Im assuming 1st person shooter...like the rest but possibly...maybe 3rd person tactical over the shoulder, just to tread new grounds.

It essentially fits right into the beginning of the story. The first encounter with the covenant. Reach was the furthest colonized planet and was of course absolutely pommeled by the covenant or 'glassed' as they would call it. It also was the origin of the spartan project, so a fuck load of spartans were situated there. Hence the reason Master Chief was the Last Spartan.

Now i may be completely wrong in every aspect above, but with my shitty plot gathering skills, this is impression im under

Stay tuned for a three page outlay, detail to detail, when wolf posts later....Or he may be posting now....just takes awhile to write it all B)

Don't think that's all correct, but maybe I'm confusing my Halo lore. I'll wait for Wolf.... lol


Jams, build a bridge, get over it - you don't like Halo, we get it. :)


The trailer shows a damn sight more than most first show trailers do... remember the first trailer for MW2 - you know, the one that was effectively a music visualiser for most of the vid?

I wasn't excited until I saw the vid, now I am. I take back my comments about it not being in the running for game of 2010. Not saying it will be, but now think it could.
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

Not quite bro.

Reach is/was the science and military hub of the UNSC. In 2552 all the remain spartans were sent back to reach (thats where they grew up) to prepare for a mission to capture a Prophet. Just before they set off Reach was attacked by the covenant, the spartan's tried to stop them they failed. All the spartan's except the MC (Master Chief) died (not really). Reach got glassed (kind of).

MC goes to Halo (installation 04) the convent follow him from reach. MC blows up Halo, MC goes back to reach. Turns out it wasnt entirely glassed and all the other Spartan's weren't entirely dead. They do a bunch of stuff (Stop the covenant getting some crazy time distorting artifact) then leave.


My guess is the game take part before the MC gets back.

The interesting thing is that these spartans have never been heard of before, have ranks that dont make sense, and that the Lone Wolf (the guy that doesn't talk) is hinted at being a S-III (spartan 3).

I thought the chief went to Earth after Halo.... going from the games anyway. I don't care what Bungie say, only the games are Canon in my eyes :)



Oh, and I would have thought this was the battle for Reach that preceded the events of Halo 1? That would seem to make more sense, show the battles that led to Pillar of Autumn (it was the autumn in Halo, right?) heading off into the never never and finding the big ol' space ring.

Guess we'll find out as they start teasing us over the next year....

After Halo went bang MC (in his long sword fighter) met up with a bunch of guys (and one girl) including Sgt Johnson that were hanging out in a pelican dropship. They then took over a covenant flagship (Ascendant Justice), they couldnt take it back to earth as the cole protocol (a Navy law that prevents the Covenant from finding earth) does not allow you to bring a covanat ship to earth. So they went to Reach in the hope to find a wreak from the reach battle to fix up to return home (earth ala Halo 2).

Cool. Makes sense, sort of.

Still pretty sure reach is set before the first covanent invasion though, from what I've read... I really hope so, at least.

No the first contact happoned on harvest in 2524, 28 years before the battle of reach, no spartans were involved with the first contact, they would only be 13 years old at that time (They didnt look 13 in that vid to me).

I meant the covanent invasion of reach, obviously, given the title of the game, but never mind.....

Just watched the vid in HD on my xbox, things that i noticed.

The grass was a cheap and nasty job, as if they just has a bunch of replicated grass ( i only barely noticed)

Wonder what the gun on the commander's back is, cause it didn't look like the standard battle rifle from the other games

im curious to see if this game is going to implement a "class" system into it, as each individual spartan seemed to have it's own "thing"(cant quite put my tongue on it) Like ones looks like a juggnaunt, another a sniper, then a scout/runner?

Anyone notice this or just me?

I'm trying to figure out if that Spartans an emo...

I'm sure I read somewhere about the different Spartans having 'roles' which is what you'd imagine in an infantry unit anyway... not sure if that would be a good thing or a bad thing though, I like the idea of Spartans being badass supersoldiers who can do everything.... sets them apart from ODST

Bungie have today released information regarding the Halo Reach trailer, mainly providing answers regarding whether it was an actual representation of how the final game would look.

In this weeks Bungie Weekly Update, they state “The Halo: Reach trailer was produced directly in our new game engine using real game assets. Because the game is still in the midst of development, which means things like framerate are still in flux, we do something called a ‘frame dump’ that lets us spit out the content, frame by frame, and then compile it back as the video you all saw on Saturday. We can actually run this same cinematic right now, within the latest game build, but it’s not always at the consistent smooth framerate of the final game (yet).”

I guess this was released in relation to the response by the disbelief of some gaming sites that wondered just how much truth was behind the use of a new engine, and how much of a true improvement it was over the engine used for both Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. It is nice to see that Bungie have taken the time to be entirely honest regarding the graphical discrepancies that some noticed within the trailer – at least we now know there is a reason behind it.

As for whether this can be what fans can expect from the title when it releases next year, they continue “This trailer absolutely represents our visual bar for the final game and is near identical to what you’ll see next Fall. The single biggest difference between this trailer and the final game will be the extra generous amount of anti-aliasing (the smoothing of “jaggies” or edges of pixels) present in what you’re watching right now but rest assured that Reach will be significantly improved in this department compared to Halo 3. (The extreme “AA” in the trailer was due to the “frame dump” mentioned above.)”

As a huge fan of the Halo franchise, I am really looking forward to seeing more footage from the title and was partly dissatisfied that the trailer shown at the VGAs didn’t let us see more. However, that makes me even more anticipated to see what Bungie have released to magazines which we’ll apparently be able to see in “just a few weeks.”
