I say footage because in my eyes it wasn't a trailer. A lot of people are underwhelmed (the graphics are great but it was boring!)

People are forgetting this was IN GAME, the opening cut scene, so it wasn't a put together explosive trailer. (trust me they will come)

The quality of the cutscene is miles MILES better than Halo 3/ODST. Thus I'm confident the actual gameplay will be just as much a jump.

P.S I loved it!

i guess the biggest problem was that it wasn't a trailer but more of an intro and Geof Keighley hyping that trailer didn't help either.

I don't take anything that man says seriously (though I do think he's cute ^^)

Same here. I think the people saying its a small upgrade from Halo 3 seriously need their eyes checked.

You can download the HD version from Bungies website.

Please DL it and then give your opinions, the crappy Gametrailers version doesn't do it justice!

Best looking game on 360 CONFIRMED!

(not kidding)

I'm happy to hear that the music will be great in this game. Reminds me a bit of Modern Warfare and Gears of War 1, so it won't be bad that's for sure!

And I'll say this now: to everyone saying that this game looks like Army of Two Gears Halo 6, think about why they decided to take that dark and gritty look. Halo games usually have themes surrounding them, and as we all know, the humans lose the war on Reach. I don't think it's going to be a very cheery story!

exactly, the tone of the game is going to be the downfall of man, not the "hero defeats bad guys!"

But the aliens are PURPLE!  You know who else is purple?  Barney.  That's who.

Seriously though, I thought the trailer was awesome.  I would rather have a "boring," complete intro than a bunch of random short clips stringed together with music or a voiceover.  Music was great, and the graphics were good (although I doubt that it is representative of what the end game will look like).

Not to mention the majority of the Spartan IIs are suppose to die down there.
