A video isn't showing up for me, but i saw some footage of space fighting eariler today. I wonder how Bungie is going to explain, as the Covenant always had a superior space fleet, space battles between UNSC and Covenant were typically one sided.

But all things considered, this should be a very kickass game.

Seeing the footage of the space battles brought me back to the space battles in Star Wars Battlefront 2.

WHERES THE EFFING VIDEO

I'm not getting video either, had to look it up on gametrailers.

Didn't show for me either. If you hit the jump and scroll back up, it shows

Am I the only one that doesn't give a shit about Halo?

Lol at the next comment after mine confirms all future comments. What a cunt

looks pretty lame TBH

I can't say I needed a lot of convincing to be psyched for this game, but this stuff is absolutely gorgeous. From head to heels, it looks like a game I'll be playing over and over again.

That aside, I'm also pretty happy to see so much of the dtoid community being excited as well. Maybe the Halo Hate Train is finally leaving for more gruntish, angry places. Or maybe everyone's too busy hating Kinect.

Either way, WOO REACH.

Just as Halo 3 was everything halo 2 should have been, it seems all the more like Halo reach may be everything that Halo 3 should have been

@almightyred: I tried, U cunt

Sweet... The naval battles were some of the most intense moments in the books. I hope they can replicate that for this game.

@Dexter345

Indeed sir, indeed.

This was......unexpected. Think that they might put this in multiplayer too? Oh and the new campaign footage looks beautiful. No more random mess of enemys.

I'm with Lugtor. Lame, sterile.
I wanted to want this Halo, but the trailer makes me kind of shrug my shoulders and think "Uh huh. Looks like Halo. Like every Halo since the first except with sharper textures. More of the same, except with some stealth kills and space battles."
Am I alone in seeing flying spacecraft multiplayer levels making me want the game LESS than if they weren't in it?
Whatever. If I could only get one, I'm going Call Of Duty Black Ops over Reach over what's shown so far of either. Halo is looking really old, Bungie is smart to miove on after this.

If anyone in here played the beta, then I'm sure you could agree with me as I tell most of the people that are voicing a dismissal that it felt a lot better than any other Halo. It brought back the excitement that the original had. The armor load-outs were great. The fact you can make your Spartan look unique. Elites are balanced differently in multi-player. The modes were extremely fun. It didn't feel like a cop-out like the previous two games felt, and it also didn't reinvent the wheel like the second one attempted to do with dual-wielding and such. More or less, it actually felt like a new game. I'd suggest that anyone who at least liked Halo at one point to try it out when it comes out. Anyone who cannot stand Halo at all, maybe try it out, but there is still a layer there that still allows it to be familiar to a Halo player, so it could still clash with your play-style if you are more of a CoD type of player.

The fact that one load-out (Scout) had the dash ability really helped ween me back into Halo-style, since I'd played so much Modern Warfare up until then.

Indigit4l. Ok, to use a word that you seem to like a quite a bit, what kind of cunt who says they don't care about Halo, clicks on a story about Halo?

You're the cunt, my friend. Now run along back to your bitter little world.

i know it was just a beta, but i thought halo 3's multiplayer felt a lot tighter and more balanced than reach's.

The only thing this trailer really does to me is reinforce the feeling that Bungie is going batshit insane.
The amount of stuff just randomly thrown into the game (or so it seems) is just overwhelming. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be bad, but it sure is going to be unbalanced and incoherent as hell.

I mean, just look at the friggin space battles. They look just randomly thrown in for the sake of it.

Thank you ChaosTeaCup.

So basically Halo haters are drawn to Halo threads, too stupid to tell the obvious visual differences difference between Halo:Reach and Halo:3, and honestly think that battlefront 2 invented space fighter combat in a shooter? LOL.

The problem with space battles is that I can tell just looking at the video that the ships do not control as fluidly as Warhawks. Freakin' game ruined air battles for me. Still a day one purchase though.

Why was Halo 3 disappointing? It had the best level design, graphics, and combat in the series until ODST came out. The only disappointment I had was Halo 2.

I assume we're talking campaign here, since that footage was all from Reach's campaign.

Haters gonna hate

You know, considering how videogames used to embrace the "fly a ship around space and shoot stuff" philosophy so warmly, it's strange to see how few games are using that premise today. You know, when did we stop flying around space and shooting at things? Like... Starfox? And that's all I've got. Today when you hear "Space Shooter", it's an FPS, with a scifi setting. I'm glad Halo's going back to this way of thinking.
