^Makes sense. This way rather than following the book storyline, they can still make their own new story arc. Makes perfect sense actually since there were plenty of spartan teams on Reach. Just only 1 was originally thought to survive (MC) and only one team was officially followed to have survived (Fred, Will, Kelly, Linda, etc). I guess it makes sense that maybe one other team survived and went off on their own fight in some way.

Can't wait to see what Bungie does with the story and what features are included in the game!! All I have to say is that if they kept all the Halo 3 features, and made that level of graphics...... just ASTOUNDING!

This is Bungie, expect them to keep all previous features, enhance them, and add some more :)

I just saw it on XBL in HD. This is how it should be seen. This trailer kicks ass.

Music kicks ass... Visuals kick ass (if they are in game) and im ready to fucking slaughter some Elites.

Amen to that!!!

Second impressions after watching it in HD and reading some of the analysis stuff:

1) I thought the teaser was CGi when I saw it in SD, but it's not. Bloody amazing visuals, absolutely stellar stuff. The lighting is the best I've seen on the 360 so far, maybe the best I've ever seen.

2) Good, 6-player co-op with classes, way to keep up with the game Bungie.

3) Music is excellent, as usual.

4) Was I watching CGi? Still feels like it. :P

5) This part really is actually pissing me off, but they show Spartan faces and they're all grizzled, normal looking adults. In the books they're just these creepy looking, tall young kids, due to the bone grafts, muscle injections, and so forth. WTF is this shit? I don't like it one bit.

I agree with you on all counts.  I just watched it in HD on XBL and it looks so much better than last night on Spike.  It definitely has Gears of War 2 graphics or better.

As to the last part, I believe they did look like adults by the time Reach happened.  In the original Halo series I believe the MC is at least in his 30's to 40's.  I'm betting they used more normal looking faces so as to keep the whole vision of a perfect human going.  After all, everyone wants their heroes to look good as well

What confuses me, is that so far the 6 spartans are not even including the ones that I remember from Reach.  In the last Halo: Legends video I just saw, it showed Fred and Kelly with the MC, and as far as Reach was concerned, I was pretty sure I remembered Fred, Kelly, Will, and a few others being involved.

EDIT:  Also, whoever said it was right.  There is a 7 formed in the clouds at the end.  Wonder if that is the month the beta will start?  Kinda dissappointing since that's 2 months later than the Halo 3 beta started, but oh well.

MC is 40-41 I believe at the time of Reach.

Digital_Foundry says that ultra-high AA strongly suggest that the Halo: Reach trailer isn't as in-game as @geoffkeighley promised it would be so I'm dissapointed a bit, if so. But do you guys know if VGA trailer was supposed to show in-game? I just don't know

CG trailers should be banned from game previews....that was just weak.

For the last time it was rendered using the in game engine. Yes you can polish up a cutscene but if you or anyone has ever played halo you would know CGI cutscenes are NEVER used. If you actually pay attention you can tell it is not CGI. CGI cutscenes look Avatar quality now. Obviously this is not at that level.

Very underwhelming.

Linky?

 

Because I can provide a linky.

"We can hardly wait. A tremendous amount of work went into this two and a half minute first look. Creative Director Marcus Lehto, and his Halo: Reach team knew it was gonna be a challenge to get it into fighting shape in just two months time, but they didn’t want your first look to be CG footage. You demand more from Bungie. So you’re getting a snippet of a cinematic."

EDIT:  Ok, I see their twitter feed.  Interesting, they are not only calling Geoff a liar, but Bungie as well.

My main problem with it is that there was no gameplay. Just walking. Geoff Kielef said this would be an amasing tralier but it wasen't.

What do you think?

It wasn't a trailer. It was the first official reveal. I'm excited about watching the first proper trailer.
