Definitely. Jorge looks like the Hunchback in that picture. Still, it's pretty damn cool to see anything from Reach.Arnie said:

The perspective in the picture seems off. Almost like the Spartans have been drawn elsewhere and pasted onto the image.Arnie said:
EVA Spartan and Jorge especially.

:lol It looks like the AR, and it looks like it's been given a HUGE makeover. Possibly an MA5K?
You're wrong on both accounts.Ramirez said:

Looks to me likes its just a different looking Assault Rifle. Definitely looks cool though.Zeouterlimits said:

People called Romanes they go the house?
IIRC, wasn't the BR past development, and Reach had several of the "old" AR to BR conversion kits in Reach's underground facilities for the spartans right when the Covenant arrived?
It mentions something about them in First Contact, I think.
Could mean an AR/BR hybrid.

The MA5K (for comparison):EazyB said:Definitely an AR.
Yeah, it's an AR, but it looks like it's from a class we haven't seen yet.
The gun also appears to have that "diamond" shape display found in the leaked picture:
In Contact Harvest they had prototype BRs.Metroidvania said:
Honestly, that AR looks incredibly similar to Halo 3's. Throw in the artistic license, the screen below, and there's no way you could convince me they look any different.
Considering it still has a 32 round magazine I fear it'll function the same as it did in Halo 3, spraying bullets all over the place. I was (am) hoping it'd have a shallower clip, a slower fire rate, and tighter spread. Couple that with headshot hit detection and I'd be fine with the AR.

There also appears to be a green tint to it. Although I can't really tell if thats just colour bleeding from the grass and on to the gun or not....

With this leak I went back over the World Premiere trailer, and found the AR. It's the same one as in the picture.
Kat's holding it in the trailer, but in the art, Skully is holding it. This could suggest that while each Spartan has a certain set of abilities, most can choose their weapon of choice.

Can't be anyway similar to Halo 1 without the best thing found in Halo (and nearly all of videogames): Trying to survive in beautiful alien vistas that are a perfect blend of Forerunner structures that offer a sense of mystery and wonder, and nature. It's why I liked "The Ark" and "The Covenant" so much, and why I like Halo 1 the most out of all the Halo games.Letters said:

Not sure if this was posted yet, but supposedly the official UK release date has been set to September 24, 2010 as 'sources in UK retail and marketing' say.

I bet if haloGAF was polled end of September would have been the most guessed release date. So I am taking it as an educated guess.

That cover is also in the image gallery on the Microsoft CES site. I really hope it's just a placeholder.

Yeah, the IQ is terrible in those shots. Must've been captured in realtime instead of frame-dumbed version you guys have posted:urk said:

I wouldn't mind a closer-up shot like that as the cover. Would be badass to just have an elite occupying it though.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Reach came out earlier than September. It seems to be farther along in its development cycle compared to Halo 3's.Domino Theory said:My vote goes for November, this time.

I like how that guy on the left is half flood.
I'm totally down for Natal support in Reach. Just dumb down the AI a bit and thrown that physics thing out of the game and we'll be waving our way to 4-shots in no time!A00man said:

Heh.
Optional-Natal support would have been fine if not for taking upwards of 50mb of ram and 15% of CPU resources. Hope they keep that shit out of my Halo.
