Game Informer's February issue is all about Halo: Reach photo

Dying for some Halo: Reach info? Well then you're going to have to pick up the February issue of Game Informer as they'll be bringing us the first detailed look at the game. The February cover story will have ten pages of exclusive details, screens and art. Game Informer's Web site will also have Halo: Reach news all this month.

The cover artwork above helps continue to fuel the notion that Halo: Reach may have some type of squad system. Spartans in the novels usually always work in a squad and I wouldn't mind getting a Halo game with team elements akin to Star Wars: Republic Commando.

Be sure to head on over to Game Informer's site to check out the full cover of the latest issue showing off the five Spartan team looking to annihilate some Covenant.

The graphics are definitely better, and hopefully that applies to the gameplay. ODST was good, just very similar to Halo 3. Hopefully Reach will be Bungie's best Halo since the first, if not better.

I hope Bungie takes as long as it takes to perfect the game. It'd be a sad shame if they had to rush the game to meet a deadline because Microsoft wanted it shipped early.

Halo:Reach is the last stop before Bungie can reinvent themselves and step out of the shadows of being called "those Halo guys." I think we will be treated to a better game once Reach is finished; multiplatform or not.

@ Lazy

Really though, it's their last ever Halo game. It's a big part of their company and probably the sole reason why they've been so successful these last few years. You can tell from the updated graphics alone that they aren't taking this title lightly, and hopefully the overall game is that much better for it. I have high hopes for this game, and I hope it can return Halo to the quality it enjoyed when it released for the first time,or hopefully even better. I don't expect "Just another halo" from the creator's last Halo game ever.

From what I'm hearing, it'll be if Rainbow Six and Halo melted together in some creamy goodness... ew.

If Reach turns out to be as good as it is pumped up to be, Microsoft will be in a hell lot of trouble in following Reach up with their own sequel. They could end up treated just like Treyarch; yeah their games are decent but can't beat the original creators' body of work.

Can we start calling the inevitable hype "Halo: Reacharound"?

God I hope they keep the elements of ODST that balanced everything out. They can improve on it for sure but especially don't get rid of it. ODST makes it so hard to go back to wonky "One man against the armada," gameplay of Halo's past.

Not that Republic Commando wasn't great, but I would prefer the next Halo not to mimic it. I prefer the Halo approach.

GOD DAMN where is republic commando 2? In this age of co-op shenanigans it could be totally epic.

If Halo Reach can build on the innovations made in the last two games then it will be crazy awesome. And god damn will the people laying into anything with 'Halo' written on it STFUAJPG?

Did Republic Commando have co-op? Damn, I've got to find out how much it is on Steam.

Republic Commando was awesome so Halo Reach might be interesting

Game Informer lost all my respect after that atrocious top 200 games list.

@Gameboi

Are you serious dude? Please tell me your joking? REPUBLIC COMMANDO???

That has to be one of THE best STAR WARS games EVAR. The AI on your team was amazing and the game play was just fantastic. Not to mention the story ( well actually it could have ended better now that I think about it ) but I think that game doesn't get that much credit as it should have. Hardly anyone liked it I guess. Like a cult movie like Kung Pow.

But Game Informer...you embarrass me. They use to be so good in their days and have good issues....C'mon though "ALL ABOUT HALO" crap? They could've have done better.

I'm not to sure about Halo: Reach. Halo: ODST like any other Halo game was fun for the first 3 weeks after it's release...
