Well, this just sounds downright amazing. I think after FFXIII and GoWIII hits my hype for Reach is going to shoot through the roof bigtime. Unfortunately because of the 360's dumb internet set-up and my colleges bad bandwith, I won't be able to enjoy the online. :(NAPK1NS

My hype for this I think surpases my Halo 2 hype.

Just the fact that they mention it is going to be a throwback to Halo CE type of campaign makes me grin like an idiot.

cannot wait for this game. What halos 2 and 3 should have been. at least in terms of single player it seems

Hoping that its the game Halo 3 should have been. Looks promising, but gushing statements and previews (or Bungie's own doing) of Halo titles pre release has a habit of getting my attention or turning me off. So I am still mixed between the hype of what it offers, or the potential disappointment.

I don't remeber them saying Halo 3 was going back to CE roots.

BURSTIIIFIRE
*raises hand* Tbh I do; and the wide open expansive levels, the unscripted battles happening as you traversed the environment, random enemy placement etc. It is nice to see Reach is going for what was said for the above, mixed with the inspiration from L4D that seems to be there (in various ways). Here's hoping it surprises me.

Looks great, even though I'm certainly no Halo fan.

Too bad I don't have a 360.

Good article. We didn't learn a whole lot of new information, but still a good read. I like how they describe the weapons, though.

If Reach is like the original, that's a major win in my book.

Let's hope all that is true and that it will be better than the original. Because IMO the only thing that saved 2 and 3 was the innovation in consoles of online multiplayer.

Halo 3 already had 18 players in "Big Team Battle" gametype. Halo is perfect for small skirmishes

wait, didn't they also say Halo 3 was the greatest thing since sliced bread as well when they previewed it? Now 3 years later everyone is finally admitting that they were just over excited because it was a new Halo game. But NOW....this is the real one that's going to blow our socks off. I'm not sure which more laughable, everytime Sony gives a release date for GT5 or when someone says "the next Halo game is going to be the best game evar"

I cannot wait. My only problem with the game is that I have to wait until the end of the year. What I am really curious about that they haven't mentioned yet is whether we will be able to play as Elites in MP. I don't think they would take them out and make it all spartan again but it is set pre-halo3 so its possible.

For all we know the person reporting that information was fed a company line by Microsoft/Bungie. I wouldn't take any of those statements at face value. I'll believe it once its been released.

yes because there is no way a game can be actually as good as the person previewing says it is. M$/Bungie go around telling every site and magazine what to say about the game.

Slow down, I'm not saying that Microsoft is actually spreading misinformation. I'm saying that, given that so many other studios have done it in the past and Microsoft isn't exactly a boy scout, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually were spreading misinformation. Given that it is atleast possible and reasonable, then I reserve judgment.

M$ had nothing to do with thispreview it was just Bungie showing the game at X10
