    Definitely one of the best looking exclusive Xbox360 games, which is something that couldn't be said for Halo 3 at the time. It definitely looks better than Mass Effect 2 and it's on par with Alan Wake, the facial animation and the lip syncing is far superior than Alan Wake's though. What is more impressive, is that they've managed to have so much detail in such a vast and large environment. The animations also look a lot more fluid and organic than previous games. However, I managed to spot obvious clipping during 1:54 and 1:57.  The skyboxes are also a sight to behold, they truly look epic and give a epic sense of scale. 
     
    I'm disappointed by the lack of any battles shown though, I can't blame Bungie for it, I mostly blame the time constraints they're given.

    Noble 6 speaks?-didn't expect that since the Rookie was a silent protag in ODST.

    And whats even better is that the voice changes depending on if you make Noble 6 a guy or gal.

    One of the guys from Bungie (I forget if it was urk, Sketch or somebody else) said on NeoGAF that it was because of some sort of weird German censorship thing. They weren't allowed to show too much gun violence.

    I feel like I can tell which Spartans are the sassy female Spartans by their animations.  But yea, I'm on the Reach train again.

    I'd honestly be really concerned if the name didn't change if you played as a different gender.
     
    But seriously its a nice improvement from Master Chief's bullshit, and I like that the characters don't actually look like the typical soldier achtypes. Atleast they seem more generally interesting than the ODST team.

    Its mostly just the first cinematic trailer we saw of Noble 6 first meeting Noble team. After that is some gameplay of them walking around a small outpost. Not really anything else to note. Not a single bullet fired.
