I would have rathered MS & Bungie not even reveal Reach if all they were going to give us was a video of reach getting destroyed on some radio commands followed by the logo.

Teaser trailer - Do Not Want.

It would be pretty freakin' sweet if they find a way to include the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV.

Edit: The story potential for Reach is extremely high.

INSTANT GOTY. Seriously. GOTY. And it's not even going to be a full game. :lol

I need to find a place to preorder this so I can get Johnson!
 
The Beta of Halo: Reach begins in 2010 it says (at the end of the teaser), you just get an invitation to it with Halo 3:ODST. Similar to Crackdown, where we had to wait a few months to actually play the Halo 3 Beta. Hopefully it's Q1 2010.

We’ve brought Halo 3: ODST to the show with us so the press can get hands on time with the campaign’s opening moments and the new cooperative mode, Firefight.

Hmm, maybe we'll see some Firefight gameplay then?
 
The fact that there's a beta for Reach makes me think that it's either running on a new engine or its multiplayer mode is different from Halo 3.
 
As long as the retail version of Reach is out by the end of 2010 I'll be happy. Firefight mode in ODST will more than hold me over until then. :D
 
I've always found survival modes to have a very limited lasting appeal. Hopefully it amounts to more than just locking down the best location and spraying enemies as they stroll through a couple of choke points.

Maybe I'm just bummed because Voc had me expecting "more than something like Terrorist Hunt"
 
Anyone see textures in the 3new maps section of the ODST page? :D

Also, love the fact that you can unlock Sarge for Firefight mode. Can't wait to hear his voiceovers when he starts mashing on some brutes. LOL :lol
 
Wow, GameTrailers.com kids... (also, don't even bother watching the vids on GT they are terrible quality and aren't even complete... they are interrupted by buffering screens and ads and shit)

LOL, this looks so sucky. You don't even play as Master Chief. Enjoy your tacked on expansion pack Xbots. LOL, what a let down.

It's freaking amazing. One of the most addictive game modes ever. Think about Horde + Halo + SomethingNew + co-op Pinball scoring. Ultimate Halo party experience.

Is it just me, or does that look a little like Midship?

It would only be more awesome if I can take a screenshot from said game mode and post it to Facebook ingame! :P :lol
 
If they have that crazy sequence from the novel where your pelican gets destroyed and John jumps into the forest without a parachute I will scream like a little girl.
 
Reposting what I said in the ODST-Reach thread:

What is that guy on the far left? The other 4 could be Spartans, but that guy on the far left has some other kind of armor. Squad, class based shooter? He's the heavy, guy on the far right is the sniper?

Hype level rising...


I wonder if they will bring back the 1shot BR, and the old look of it. Hopefully someone will be smart enough to ask that question during the live demos on Wednesday.

It has to be, right? I doubt it's even an FPS. Why would they make another Halo FPS with a different multiplayer mode than Halo 3?

I'm thinking they're all Spartans, but they just have customized armor tailored for their own special strenghts. Like that skinny one, 2nd from the left, could be Kelly (the speedy one).
 
"Halo 3: ODST" (Bungie). Launching Sept. 22, "Halo 3: ODST" is a new game in the landmark "Halo" saga that lets players experience the events leading up to the epic story told in "Halo 3" through the eyes of a special forces ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper). In addition to an all-new campaign, "ODST" includes three new "Halo 3" multiplayer maps and the complete, stand-alone "Halo 3" multiplayer experience.(2) The game also introduces Firefight, an exciting new cooperative multiplayer mode that pits up to four players against increasingly challenging waves of enemies. As a special bonus, "Halo 3: ODST" also includes an invitation to the "Halo: Reach" multiplayer beta on Xbox LIVE. Also, launching on the same date with "Halo 3: ODST" is the "Halo 3: ODST Collector's Pack," which offers "Halo" fans a new and exclusive wireless controller and the game title in one package at a great price.

Instant GOTY? Slow down, there:
BioShock 2
I have no idea what to make of the shadowy figures that have been shown with Reach. I want to know more about Reach right now. They could've at least told us when it takes place.
 
Ever since the H2 demo/trailer I've been wanting to run around the same streets and buildings. ODST will finally deliver on that wish...

Um... takes place around the events of Reach?

When? During/after the attack on Reach. Who? Spartans, possibly Master Chief but there's a ton of Spartans on Reach at that time so they could be focusing on some more unknown Spartan(s). My guess is the latter, if I know Bungie right they won't want to make a game that simply follows the novel page by page, but rather something that ignores it as much as possible and maybe even contradicts it.

Well, duh. But is the game going to take place during the Fall or Reach, First Strike, or some combination of the two? I want to know when, at least, where we're starting off. They could've revealed that.

lol. If you know Bungie? They're not about to contradict the universe they've created.:lol

@Kibbles: thanks for the link. Watching now.

Well they've done their best with Halo 2 and 3. Maybe not outright contradictions, but atleast very much pretending that the novels were never written.

huh? The books are as much canon as are the games. Bungie didn't want the story of the books to tie into the games, or make the books required reading to follow the story of the games.

Bungie's going to be showing off ODST all week. Sweet. I'm particularly interested in how co-op campaign will work for ODST. Will there just be three other ODSTs?
 
Gameplay wise ODST looks like it will still be pretty much on par with Halo3 movement wise. What I didn't see in the demo, thanks to kibbles for linking, is that I didn't see any jumping involved. Jumping is what made H2 and H3... I wonder since they brought back the H1 pistol if they brought back the fall damage as well and the ODST's jumping ability as compared to MC's are severely gimped.

Lots of jumping in the pics.

But it looked like the Rookie took fall damage when he landed from up high early on in the trailer, at the 24 second mark.
 
so whats the consensus on halo reach?

i get the feeling that is a multilayered game, where some people pplay normal halo3 mp battles while some people take strategic decissions, some provide aerial support etc etc
