Well here it is everyone, the first in-engine/in-game trailer for Halo: Reach. Bungie said this is part of a cinematic in the early stages of the game. While it shows no combat, it does give us a great look at the new engine they've crafted. One that is a true High Definition engine, and is the original base of the engine powering Forza Motorsport 3.

Here is a link to the video on the Marketplace, for those that want to view from their 360: Halo: Reach Download Page

I think Bungie has learned a lot since Halo 3. They've created an engine that harnesses more power from the 360, and they've fine-tuned their network code to run more efficient. Not to mention all the enhancements to matchmaking and completely separating competitive play from casual play. The small hints here and there that Firefight might make a return, and of course four player co-op. Oh, and all the enhance to the community features; Forge, Saved Films, etc... Once again it looks like Bungie's going to trump themselves in the most feature packed game ever.

I'm having some doubts since they put sprinting in and I've heard of other CoD like features. I want something more like Halo: CE, not Call of Duty.

What kind of features? From all I've read and seen, most of it makes it lean more towards being more like Combat Evolved, even multiple people from Bungie have stated that.

Sure, they now have kits, but they're not customizable. There is a sprint, but only if you choose to have that kit. Other than that I don't know anything else that is like something from CoD.

Perks weren't customizable either. I dunno, sprinting is just a huge drawback for me, regardless of whether it's a kit or not. That's a big jump away from Halo: CE, as well as 2, 3, and ODST. What in it is more like CE?

True that they perks aren't customizable, but you did get to create a class with whatever perk you wanted, and those perks were always active. In Reach, armor abilities have a recharge after each use, so they can't be used all the time. And you have no choice over what kind of kits will be available, since they'll be specific to that game. And I should have said it fells more like CE, not is more like. They have brought back the pistol, though it's a 4 or 5 shot kill rather than a 3, health and medpacks are also making a return (even though it never technically left Halo 2 or 3). Come over once the Beta starts and then pass on some kind of judgement.

I'm not saying I won't like it or making any kind of major judgement yet by any means, I just don't like the idea of sprinting in Halo, that's all. For all I know it could work out fine. We'll just have to see!

There's videos on most the major sites (Joystiq, IGN, GameTrailers) that showcase most the features in the beta, check them out.

I've seen a few videos now and I think the game looks awesome. JETPACKS! YES! I plan on doing a lot of flyin' and dyin'. Sprinting is an interesting concept, I hope it works out well. Perks are cool, possibility of firefight is kick ass, new/changed weapons look sweet too. I hope my Xbox gets back in time for the beta, I can't wait to try it!

I have to say, though I haven't had nearly as much time for the Beta as I hoped to, the game is awesome! I love pretty much everything about it and I think Bungie is yet again showing why they're my favorite studio. They have some balancing to sort out, but that's what Beta's are for! Can't wait for this game, going to reserve it as soon as money allows me to.
