Cool to see one of Halo 3's scrapped ideas is being implemented here, armor variants augmenting your abilities.

i really am interested in the part where it talks about being able to be camoflouged or being able to sprint...not sure how the camo will work with multiplayer, if u can use it all the time or what, but im pumped for the sprint...sounds awesome so far

I like how they are making the covenant darker, creepier, and scarier. Should make for an awesome campaign

Jorge is the only Spartan II. He was the only one who's helmet looked similar to the Master Chief's in the trailer. The rest Spartan III's. According to canon, Spartan III's were planned to be more expendable than Spartan II's. Cheaper to train, arm and produce, relying more on teamwork and more numerous than Spartan II's. They were planned to number a hundred thousand in a few years over the very few Spartan II's that there were. So even though they are the next generation of Spartan super soldier, head to head, one on one, the Spartan II is still superior. The background story for the game is all starting to take shape. I can't wait.

IGN just said you use the ability until a meter runs out, so no you can't use it all the time. I don't like that you can swap from sprinting to camoflage, well, as long as you're not invisible in camo then I don't mind.

i wonder what the new "treats" will be....... I'm hoping an improved firefight mode with match making is one on the list. especially since they say the new engine can support 40 AI characters and 20 vehicles at once in battle.

Big Team battles with 40 players would be epic, huge maps etc.

Of course, they better supply some dedicated servers if this were to happen, but only for 40-player games.

Improved vehicle physics too.

They said Halo 3 only supported 20 AI, but I don't remember ever seeing 20. Maybe the flood but does that count?

I heard a rumor that there is a new weapon that is likened to be a rifle/needler-like thing?

Think about the Scarab fights. The 1st one had around 4 marines on the ground (on mongooses) and probably around 12 covenant troops in the actual scarab. There were also marines on the turrets on the wall where you could go up and jump onto the scarab.

If Halo: Reach can double that number then that would make the fights so much more epic. 8 marines on mongooses and rocket launchers, maybe around 6 ghosts coming after you, and all of it while fighting a scarab. That would be pretty awesome (of course I don't know if they used Scarabs on Reach... but then replace with 6 more ghosts...).

As all Halo games, I have that they are awesome, but there is always room to disappoint (ODST.....).

PS: Having the Health Bar back makes me so, so happy.

You mean the needle rifle. Hooray for adding a sprint abillity, it only took them four games to finally add one.

Sounds great. I'd like to see it all in action though.

Sounds good. Though I'm surprised that they mentioned rebels. Reach was the UNSC stronghold, especially after the covenant showed up. How would they get through all the defences?
