Halo: Reach - New Screenshots

[Deathman101]

I'm still wondering how they can make a game out of Reach, a major loss for humanity because they were fucking flattened.

And from the book's lore, only the Pillar of Autumn made it out.

The game is definitely not based on the book "Fall of Reach", even though it has "Reach" in the name.

I wish they put in the Spartans training scene from the book.

What is there to say 'cept it looks plain awesome? Altough I hope the campaigns won't repeat Halo's earlier... Mistakes.. *shudder*

Those jackals look pretty sick but i will probably never get around to playing halo reach.

Except the guy in the very first image, who the developers thought would look cool if they painted a skull on him.

Look, Ghost might have been able to pull it off, but drawing on your helmet?

Only true bad asses unnecessarily doodle on their helmets!

And only people with mental disabilities wear helmets.

Your move, sir.

Staying on topic, I would like to say that it is Halo, and since the 2007 launch that was burned forever in my mind (If you saw the New York release that was televised, you'll know what I mean) I have not wasted any more money on this franchise as a whole.
Looks okay though.

I don't know what to say other than it looks like Halo.

Because it looks like Halo. A lot.

It's OK, he's just going to be the guy running into walls. He'll stay out of your way.

Yeah, it looks like Halo.

In fact, It looks exactly like any other Halo game, the graphics aren't even upgraded.

I see Army of Two meet Halo. The big guy with the minigun and the skull mask I guess this is all I'm basing this on. Oh and chest high walls.

apart from army of 2 had 2 characters while this has about 6? seriously...nothing like army of 2.

and i take it games cant have mini guns (which i must say have been used in many other games) or chest high walls which make for perfect covering without the game been criticised for copying what about half the games of last year done.

OT: Any ways as a halo fan (which i will proudly say) this game does look different, new enemies, graphics, new engine, and by the looks of it special take downs. what ive wanted since halo 2 has finally come true =D

we all know that this game will be one of the biggest games this year with the amount of halo fans their is in the world, but like any other game release im staying sceptical, for one i don't like how they are using phantoms, if it is a prequel shouldn't the be using spirits? (the drop ship from halo 1)...hehe sorry went into geek mode XD

 

[Pimppeter2]

NINJA!!!!

Anyway, looks like a hybrid of Halo Wars and ODST. Which is to say totally awesome. I hope you get to infiltrate their base.

 

[Jubbsy]

Some real Spartan Action. Not this stupid one Spartan + Marine stuff.

Now we can really do some damage.


BTW, according to the books, Sgt Johnson(Pvt at the time(I think)) killed the first elite. He kicked off the war.

If they're trying to be period action, then maybe they'll bring back the original handgun. Unlikely, I know, but it would be fun.

 

[Rafe]

Hmm not bad, I'll be looking out for it.

 

[ZombieGenesis]

Oh wow, it's... just another Halo game. Looks pretty though, but anyone can tell you this is running on some kind of retardedly-high spec computer and the 'real' game won't be nearly so polished as the marketing shots. But we all knew that anyway.

 

[Layz92]

This excites me as much as any of the Halos (that is to say none at all).

 

[Sonicron]

Looks like another fun rental.

 

[Vrex360]

Looks awesome, plenty of graphical enhancements and it certainly looks a lot darker then previous games in the series, but then I guess Reach was a pretty grim moment in the Halo universe*. It should be fun, I have high hopes for this game. Plus for the record, the elites look awesome as always.
Honestly though, here's hoping I can still play as an Elite in multiplayer, other then that it would seem like the game is coming together quite nicely.

*well grim if you were a human, to a Sangheili it was blast (no pun intended)

 

[GraveyardTricks]

I know i'll get bashed for this but, Halo was good. Thats a fact. Look at the awards for example. And yeah, it did get overrated, and the gameplay became slow and samey after games like Modern Warfare 2 came out, but it was still fun.

Undeniably.

And i think Halo: Reach will be just as fun, if not better. And ultimately, thats what you want from a game.

 

[fix-the-spade]

I quite like the way the the visual design references Halo 1, especially that elite and the old style dropship (here's hoping for lots of those). Not sure about the Brute Jackal thing, maybe it's just a Jackal with armour and no fancy pants shield.

But it doesn't look that Halo-ish to me, the weapon and armour designs are getting almost towards a Gears/Army of Two aesthetic, all dull greys and improbably large proportions. The amount and application of bloom is quite Gears-y as well, I want my bright sunshine and day-glo purple back!

Mmm, chest high walls!

 

[MiracleOfSound]

SO they finally upgraded thier graphics engine. About time.

Looks very pretty, I expect it will like the previous two games... pretty good fun.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Cool.


I'm sadly probably going to get it...
