According to Gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6242904.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;1 This is kinda cool actually. Color me interested in what this actually means.

And sorry if my post looks funny, Giant Bomb ain't working well for me.

In order for me to be interested they need to do something different with the tone and atmosphere of Halo.

I liked the trailer. Got me somewhat interested in a Halo game which is one series I really could care less about. 

I thought it had kind of a Modern Warfare or Bad Company feel to it when I watched the trailer.

Done been linkified.

" In order for me to be interested they need to do something different with the tone and atmosphere of Halo. "

Yes about the new tone. As someone who is in the vast minority that the Humans shouldn't have won at the end of Halo 3, what this trailer is indicative of is very exciting for me. If its Gears of War meets halo with not as much gore and dismemberment, I'm secured.

"I thought it had kind of a Modern Warfare or Bad Company feel to it when I watched the trailer. "

Is it third person?

I would love a more violent and gory Halo. It would make me want to buy it instantly.

I agree with you guys that the color should be washed out and it should have more blood and be more like MW, because Halo just isn't derivative enough as it is.

" Awww........Am I the only one who liked Halo's old look "

Is anyone else in favor of making the link button ridiculously large?

As I mentioned, Giant Bomb isn't working right for me at the moment. I couldn't even quote you there.

Why did I read that? It was from Gamespot, and they all love men :[

But there was nothing in that trailer to indicate what the game will actually be like. It was just a bunch of Spartans doing exactly what spartans do best, looking badass. I got the same vibe off the Halo 3 and ODST trailers. "

I really hope they use this game to flush out master chief's character.

I am sure this game will still have the Halo feel. Just a more grown up version . This will not be a happy story guys and it needs a more serious tone. changing things a bit will help enforce that.

Salusard, you might be disappointed.

I really don't think Halo is at the point where it needs to mimic other games to succeed. I think I'd rather see them continue to go there own way. Whatever, though, I still haven't watched the trailer yet. Maybe tomorrow.

I've always felt that the only thing that makes me play Halo is how the music makes the game look 10x better.

@OwnlyUzinWonHan: Was waiting for someone to ask me this. I just feel that Humanity was getting its ass kicked all the way and well, they should have gotten it completely whacked.

I never really got how you could make a Halo game more violent other then by adding stuff like limbs being blown off and head being blown off or something from sniper shots. Making it bloodier doesnt really make it more violent when the covenant are still gonna bleed purple and green and stuff. This game if it follows the book just screams squad based shooter since in the book you had Chief at ponit and then the sniper chick and the explosives guy. A squad based/class based Halo game could be cool. Maybe then the multiplayer could actually be something like humas vs covenant which would be good as long as one side doesnt have big disavantages like past Halo games.

You know I'm usually open to that kind of stuff, but I hope not, please no, mainly because it would just suck. "

They said the atmosphere would be grimmer and more like Gears of War. "

How is being more like some other popular thing being different? What few identifiers Halo still has of its own as a mothership shooter (Teen rating, great color pallet) they seem to be sending down the stream to pander to trends and that should bum real Halo fans out. "

Animations can make it be more serious and so well, cartoony. Halo 3:ODST (the only Halo I have) felt very, cartoony. Jerky animation and words like "What the heck?" instead of other choice words made it feel almost childish, like it was barely hanging on to its "M" rating. "

Halo's always been on the soft side of M- how something like Uncharted gets a T but Halo has an M baffles me.  Bungie's moved up to mocap for Reach asopposed to the hand-animation they were using before, so that will likely address your animation issue. "

That's what I'm saying. Halo: Reach is definatly looking alot more "grown up." An article at Gamespot said it was like Gears of War with Spartans, now that's a strong statement. "

" @Zereta: Why do you think the humans should've lost? "

" @DystopiaX: That's exactly what I mean, too tonally similar. Those series have very different attitudes--Gears of War being gritty and bload-soaked, and Halo being bright and majestic.  "
