A ton of new Halo: Reach media has made its way to Bungie's Web site this week. There's a bunch of new screenshots and some great concept art that you'll want to take a look at in the gallery below. A profile on NOBLE Team, the unit you'll be fighting along side with in Halo: Reach, has also been released detailing info on your future squad-mates.
So what can we take away from these screens? Well, there's new weapons, new vehicles, you'll have a health bar on top of your rechargeable shield, three's a new enemy type cousin to the Jackals and the new stealth kill system is shown off with one of the SPARTAN-IIIs stabbing this Elite in the back. Also, take a look at the screenshot above -- Something right above the radar is censored. This most likely has something to do with your ability to augment your armor (cloaking, sprint, extra shielding, etc.)
Or, it's a penis. Who knows!

All I can say is, look at that character with the skull on his face.
Evidently Ghost from MW2 was so popular, Bungie decided to blatantly rip him off.
I'll have to see this in motion before I can really judge how nice it looks.
Although the textures have a very "plastic / shiny" look to them, this appears to be a good looking overhaul compared to Halo 3 so far.
A little more polish and this could be a very nice looking game.
Infinity Ward TOTALLY ripped off Ghost Rider.
TOTALLY.
RIPPED 'EM OFF.
CAN YOU SEE HOW MUCH I CARE? CAN YOU SEE?
True story.
Motion controls anyone?
No shit. It's an effin' Halo game. Expected a Call of Duty game, did you?
And yeah, the crosshairs thing is kinda freaky...
Seriously, what does it matter what, who, where they got it from? Skulls are cool, kids like skulls, kids play videogames, skulls in videogames = PROFIT
Also, Halo in HD still looks sloppy. Only now it's slightly less sloppy looking, I guess that's a step up... hooray?
How can you play shooters on Natel? has any one ever thought about this? do you position your arms like holding a rifle or something? But these screens better be very, very early development because it's just halo 3 with some touch ups. I hope squad and armor customization play a big role in the game or ODST wont be the biggest waste of money ever(seriously $50 for a DLC?!?!?!??!).
But Reach is looking good to me, definately picking it up.
serisouly must have *drool*
Two points about it, one it's red when its not actually on a target and two the gun is firing and the Jackal directly infront of the gun is dying. I imagine thats not supposed to be there?
Also about Natal, Bungie has said that there will be support but from my idea I imagined menu support and 'Look Put Your Face in the Game' support.
I for one, am a guarenteed purchaser.
this means that emile is not a rip off of ghost, and the graphics will most likely get better.
(also, the crosshair thing was a rendering glitch, not an in-game feature, and the blurred out text is, according to bungie, "extra UI text in it that’s not in campaign.")
