As usual, the use of the AR makes the gameplay look boring. They should have used the DMR/Pistol for the presentation.

The space battles do not interest me, actually. Anyway, I hope they are as well integrated into the core gameplay as the good old vehicle battles. I don't want linear and gimmicky vehicle sections, like the ones in CoD, Gears, etc.

I still think the game looks too dark and grey. I like pretty colors. I want them back!!!

Bye

The more they keep revealing, the less I want to play other games.

We're not done yet. Launch team Gamma prepped for combat.

 

[Ramirez]

The graphics in the space scene are pretty insane art wise.

When's the G4TV live demo?

 

[feel]

Yes! This was incredible. As promised by Bungie employees, mindblown indeed.

HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE

 

[Schmitty]

They should have put this at the end of the show instead of Natal stuff

 

[-viper-]

Can someone rehost the video?

 

[NullPointer]

Anybody have a HD link for the video they showed at e3? Its different from the Bungie trailer (and much better imho).

Bungie really nailed the "you are part of a massive war" aspect with that trailer.

Yeah, it reminds me of the live action ODST battle scene.

 

[ZZMitch]

Space Battles!

Give us Forge!

Edit: and Firefight!

 

[Chinner]

Gotta give props to Bungie, this was the best thing at the press conference and it looked great. I'm hoping they're going to finally deliver a Halo SP i'm content with.

 

[Lebron]

Been a long time since I've been actually this hyped for a Halo game.

 

[LunaticPuma]

I was telling my friend last week that a Halo Wing Commander/Colony Wars game would be awesome. I'd love to be in dogfights or assaulting cruisers or piloting a pelican ferrying troops. Looks like I'll at least get a taste of my own awesome idea. :lol Now where is my Firefight reveal and a longer game play trailer? I need something to incessantly watch on my Xbox over and over until launch day.

 

[bj00rn_]

The gamer and Halo fanboy inside me feels satisfied by what I saw

 

[zumphry]

Space combat+me=

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

oh my FUCKING GOD!


CRIMSON SKIES REBORN!! SPACE SHIP BATTLES, I AM SOLD!

 

[Genesis Knight]

Loved it. Can't wait to see more footage - the game just keeps getting bigger and bigger. How much content can they fit in a $60 purchase? Dayum son, dayum.

Gametrailers is down for me as well. Hope they get back up soon, because their coverage is definitely the best of the online streaming sources.

 

[Gui_PT]

Urk, any chance we can get the actual video of the demo?

 

[AwesomeSyrup]

Last time I saw something that awesome was probably the Halo 2 level that didn't actually make it into the game.

 

[Pennybags]

Space combat+me=

Awkward and aimless?

 

[Genesis Knight]

Gametrailers is back up.

And from #halogaf:

[14:52] <Freedom_> wait a minute
[14:52] <Freedom_> wasnt there a gametype called "dogfight" in the reach code
[14:54] <Freedom_> pretty much means space fighting in MP?

 

[zumphry]

Awkward and aimless?

Yes.

(also in need of new pants)

Day 1 if true.

 

[Roche]

I still want some details on Forge Bungie, drop the goods please.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Remember that shot of the Covenant ship themed MP level from the last Vidoc? Maybe you board a Covenant cruiser from space and carry on foot from there.

 

[WJD]

Huge props to Bungie, that looked glorious. Also, space battles is something I've wanted in Halo ever since 2001.

Thank you Bungie

 

[Lifejumper]

Is it just me or did the base movement speed increase?

 

[zumphry]

That was what I was thinking too. Either that or they just spoiled the ending of the game (THANKS, BUNGIE.)

I'm telling you. MasterChief cameo in Reach.

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

Game looks amazing now... and the space battle action looks crazy fun! Can't wait!

 

[mescalineeyes]

Is it just me or did the base movement speed increase?

I definitely noticed that.

 

[BladedExpert]

Is it just me or did the base movement speed increase?

Jump height looked bigger too.

 

[Kitschkraft]

Just saw the trailer.

The beach scene looked like Halo....which is a great thing. Encounter for encounter, I've always felt that Halo has always been leaps and bounds better than other console FPS's. Glad to see Elites back...and not speaking the Queens English this time! They could live off this style of gameplay forever. Ironically, I'm just getting through ODST now....not finished, but the solo campaign feels like the best one since Halo 1 to me.

Only gripe I have is that the enemies appear almost too similar to how they've always been. Would have liked to see them go for a big jump in AI. I know that that is probably in opposition to what I just said but, I dunno, sorta with they could tweak some enemy behaviors while still maintaining the near-perfect gameplay.

The space battle stuff actually scares me a bit. Looks like something that can easily be vanilla and plain, even for a talented studio like Bungie. Seems like even when the space battles are done right, they are all very similar and, too linear or something. Interested in seeing what they do with it.

Will definitely be a nice addition to the online component if they decide to add it. I would personally like to see a separate playlist dedicated to space battle.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Underwhelming, but I'm sure the single player will be adequate. From the sounds of the Halo Reach beta, that as well will be solid.

 

[Kuroyume]

Movement looked slow. It was like... Could it take any fucking longer for the dude to get to the space ship?

 

[RebornYeti]

The more they keep revealing, the less I want to play other games.

This. At this rate, we'll soon discover that nothing else matters, nor will ever matter, once Reach is released.

 

[squidhands]

We're not done yet. Launch team Gamma prepped for combat.

T-minus...?

Remember that shot of the Covenant ship themed MP level from the last Vidoc? Maybe you board a Covenant cruiser from space and carry on foot from there.

Was thinking the same thing. I wonder what/who we get to rescue?

Also, there was a new Spartan on Elite assassination that looked frakking sweet. gah, too much want!!

 

[bathala]

space dog fight. yes. yes

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I can't stress how awesome that was. I really cant wait to see what else they have to show. here is hoping we see skirmishers and brutes in action... Hunters also.

Oh god, the space stuff seems so awesome..

 

[Schmitty]

Gametrailers has the full demo stream on their site

MUCH better than the Bungie.net trailer.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

I was expecting the space launch to be something that'd send you crashing back down to the planet. And then when they focused on the ship I was like "Oh, guess you are going to some space station." AND THEN THE MOTHER FUCKING GUNS STARTED FIRING HOLY SHIT.

 

[Lafiel]

Space battles look awesome. Considering there isn't a actual game made based off that setting, this will be the closet thing.:lol

 

[SpudBud]

http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/Reach/images/screenshots/e32010/full/Reach_E310_Campaign10.jpg
So awesome.

 

[Dipswitch]

Great trailer. Excellent sense of scale to the ground battle and I'm delighted to see some of the space sequences that were heavily featured in the books are getting some screen time. It probably will be a quick sequence, but if you get to board a covenant ship I'll be very happy indeed.

Bungie brings the goods once again.

 

[KZObsessed]

Wish the space parts were in a first person cockpit view. I miss space combat sims

 

[Monocle]

Wait, what?

He probably means that awesome New Mombasa level that was demoed at E3 (I don't remember the year). You know, the one where Cortana says "bet you can't stick it" at the end.

We're not done yet. Launch team Gamma prepped for combat.

You've got a sweet mouth on you. <3

 

[Y2Kev]

Looked fantastic. Really, really reminds me of Silent Cartographer.

 

[Wizman23]

maybe there is a lot more to the "Indian Ocean, Present Day" Top Gun comment from Luke Smith from awhile ago. I doubt the Saber fits into the normal MP sandbox so maybe we get a new MP mode. Heck that would be like a new fricking game. Awesome if true

Another thing to notice is that it looks like the Spartans are warped from where they get dropped off to where they meet the first Elites. I'm hoping there is a heck of a lot more to the ground outside combat area to that level then what we saw. It looked like such a fun and pretty place to fight in.

 

[Phatcorns]

Why would you post that chopped up version on Bnet? Makes no sense, I was completely underwhelmed by it. The conference version was so much better.

That being said, this gameplay is just getting really old. I don't know, it will definitely be fun but it just seems like too much more of the same.

And my god, did you guys really not fix the reticle visibility yet? This is rigoddamdiculous.
