What do you make of it?
If they are true, the graphical improvements look really good. But it could be a really good PS job.

Oh, come on.

Looks just like another Halo routine.
Sure, it's the series but doesn't look like they are aiming for much by the screenshots.
It also appears we have a squad this time around...

If this is fake, this guy has wayyyy too much time on his hands. Even though the screens are blurry, the detail looks good.

Well, so far:

New and improved weapons ( Spartan laser, battle rifle)
Different looking environments
New HUD and squad like features
Big graphical improvments

It looks like it has new guns, maybe we can customize or upgrade guns? Would be a cool feature for the game.

I find it funny... Reach is A prequel to the Halo series... and judging by these photos, they're introducing new and improved weapons

Either way... Im a fanboy... and Judging by the fact these screens are probably taken in the Alpha phase of production as the Bungie employee's only took copies home for testing the other day... it will end up looking a lot better than this

OMG Cant Wait!

Will there be game footage?
That's all I give a **** about.

If Bungie didn't make an entire new engine and made it look realistic and not as cartoony as Halo 3, then I won't be buying it.

Its not gameplay. most likely cinematic or CGI. Media is still under embargo until further notice and once E3 is around, heaps of info with footage will come out

That's lame...

What's the point of showing a CGI clip?
I want to see what the game looks like...
Not some cinematic

- Reach will NOT follow the book, Fall of Reach.

- We play as Spartan IIIs. Jorge is the only Spartan II on the team, and as a result is larger.

- Carter 259 and Kat 320 are the only members of their original squad.

- Jorge is a heavy weapons specialist.

- "Skully" now has a name, Emile 239. He's the silent type of the game.

- The sniper is called Jun 266. He's thoughtful and taciturn.

- We can customise the appearance of the Lone Wolf by a small degree. Awesome.

- The game is apparently darker than any of the other Halo games, even more so than ODST.

- Human Insurrectionists are possibly in the game

- Bungie have once again made the Covenant more dangerous and frightening, as they were in Halo 1.

- Covenant soldiers no longer speak English, they speak in their own languages.

- A new enemy like a Jackal has been introduced, named a "Skirmisher." They are deadly and cunning enemies that attack in packs, and flank secure positions.

- Graphics have been improved drastically, as proven by in-magazine comparisons.

- Elites are back, and are more ferocious than ever.

- Larger scale combat will be in Reach. Where only 20 AI at a time could be on screen in Halo 3, now over 40 AI and 20 vehicles can be present at a time.

- Scenes are more cinematic.

- Noble Team splits up at a point in the story, but it seems they soon get back together.

- Health Bar is back along with energy shield.

- Single shot rifle like the Halo 2 E3 demo is in the game, named the Designated Marksman Rifle (DRM)

- Sniper, AR and Magnum make a return. Gun sounds are more realistic.

- Needler Rifle is in the game, a mid-range headshot capable weapon.

- Spike Grenades and Flame Grenades are out. Only frags and plasma remain.

- Helicopter Transport is called the Falcon.

- Civillian vehicles are now drivable.

- Fully stealthy gameplay is now possible.

- Assassinations are possible with a knife by holding down the melee button.

- Sprinting is now possible through an equipment like mechanic.

- Spirits, the Covenant drop ship in CE, return in Reach, alongside Phantoms.

- Grunts look a lot more menacing.

- Motion Tracker seems compressed, like an oval rather than the Halo 3 circle.

- Hud is yellow rather than blue.

- Marines look vaguely like Halo 1 marines.

- Phantoms now have a flashlight, like the one seen in the ODST announcement trailer.

- Elites seem taller, and are no longer hunched.

- All features from Halo 3 (Forge, Theatre, Co-op) make a comeback along with several new ones.

- We will be shown what Reach looks like before it is destroyed. We will see the levels of destruction progress as we get further through the game, implying the game takes place over a longish period of time.

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
