I love Halo but Master Chief was a shitty character.  I found it incredibly difficult to care about a faceless voice hidden behind armor, nothing human about him at all.  The new members of Reach are much better.

What are the guns like? Does Jeff Bridges have a different gun to the rest of the people in the game? Is this gun available in a multiplayer mode? Is there multiplayer in this game? How many armours can you achieve/get in the game? I have no more questiones.

Well said! In most FPS, you die with just a few bullets or a headshot. Multiplayer becomes a game of hide and seek and positioning. In Halo, sometimes you have to empty a whole clip to get a kill which makes the gameplay much more dynamic. Its not really even comparable to COD since the balance is so different. I am really stoked about Reach. The Beta was awesome and firefight will kick ass!

He was the main character in the entire book, not just one of it's plot points. Not to mention the fact that the Spartans trained on Reach, including Master Chief. I'm not trying to start anything here, just stating facts. MC was on Reach and the majority of the book revolved around him.

The characters here are about as dull, lifeless and retarded as they were in ODST.  An agressive shot-gunner? The silent, cold and calculated sniper?  Big dude with the turret gun?  Skinny, worthless female with "brains" whose just another bitch?  Then there's the new guy, the "Rookie" with absolutely no character development or personality.  That's where you come in douchebag.  Fuck you Bungie.

@Lies: It's too bad Dr. Halsey was the worst part of the trailer. What the hell happened to Jen Taylor's voice ? I've never heard her so monotone and uninterested. She almost sounds bored with the whole Noble Team.   I guess she couldn't stick it. "
 
 
It because Cortana is a younger, more enthusiastic representation of Halsey, the Dr herself is pushing towards her 50's in Reach and has been worn down by the things she's done to create the SPARTANs and the fact she has to keep sending them into harms way. 
 
She's voicing a worn down woman, the tone seemed appropriate.

The world may never know. "
The UNSC did have a huge fleet stationed at Reach, along with the 20 Orbital Defense Guns. The fleet had 152 ships, with 3 refit and repair stations to act as shields. The Covenant had over 300 ships. When they lost the ground-based generators for the Orbital Super MACs (due to a few thousand Covenant ground forces), the biggest threat to the Covenant fleet was gone so they bulldozed the remaining UNSC ships who didn't, or couldn't, escape (like the Pillar of Autumn).

Though the UNSC managed to take out over half the Covenant Fleet, they still lost 130 ships along with the MAC platforms, Reach, and all but like, six or so Spartan IIs (not including the Chief, Grey Team and Kurt).

Keep in mind, the UNSC had the first shot, consisting of a few hundred MAC rounds from both ships and the Orbital stations (due to the Refit and Repair stations used to block the Covenant's first volley) along with a nuclear minefield, taking out at least a hundred Covenant ships. Even with that opening, they still got annihilated. (Recently re-read the books).

Also, was that Dr. Halsey? Nice. The 14th can't get here soon enough.

Because it's different from the other Halo games, in that these are actually characters, and not characterless avatars meant for the player to put themselves into?

@Pop: AI, probably a cortana-like one. If you read the books that looks like a particular doctor who plays a major role in creating the Spartans and who creates AI based off of a model of her brain.  
 
I am curious how this Halo will go. It seems very very different from the first 3.

Hmmm I spied the Night Vision mode from ODST in there.  
 
On a different note, Bungie seem to be throwing away and keeping various parts of the Halo fiction for this or maybe I missed something in the books during the three times I've read them all.

I don't wanna to enable this Halo debate too much because it happens a lot, but I think it's important to remember that at this point there's no denying the effect that the Halo series has had on gaming history. It's like the current state of the GTA games. Despite what you think about its past or whatever the fact is that right now, in this moment in time, there's enough of a foothold there with an identity all its own, that people can know what to expect from and look forward to. And it improves every time. I personally would put myself in the camp that thinks the first Halo gets a bit of undue credit for certain innovations, but that doesn't stop me from having a blast playing Halo 3 multiplayer for the balanced, polished, insane fun that it is today. I guess my point is that smack-talking the series just doesn't make any sense, not to mention the redundancy of it.

" Am I alone in thinking that the Halo series gets way more attention than it deserves? I mean.. It's not really all that great.. Halo 1 was the first big fps to hit the xbox.. And that's really where it all seemed to take an odd turn. At the time, there were hardly any fps'es for the pc that didn't stand up to halo fairly well, but it seemed like the rift between console and pc gamers at that time was rather pronounced, cause the xbox guys were ecstatic about it, which must mean they hadn't played many fps'es before that time. I remember buying it for my xbox and playing it quite a few hours to find out what was so great about it. Pretty decent for a console fps at the time, but the story was boring and the art direction wasn't even close to what I like when it comes to sci-fi. Way to childish ans silly. Instantly made me think of Jumping Jack Flash for ps3 when i saw the stupid looking enemies.  Bought halo2 as well, just because it got even more attention than the first, and it was the same thing all over again, only even more so. So what the hell am I missing here? I'm usually able to see why people think highly of a game/movie/band without really liking it myself, but with Halo, I can't really put my finger on anything that isn't mediocre. Is it that people were mp starved on xbox live when halo2 came out? I know a lot of people played mech assault on xbox live, and that wasn't all that great either.  Do xbox online players have extremely low standards or something? "
Not sure if this was just meant as obvious flame bait.. 

But as someone who did play PC FPS games before moving onto the Xbox, what I found appealing about Halo was the massive levels, the first level were you touch down on Halo itself and your surrounded by a massive environment that you're pretty much free to explore, with huge mountains, lush waterfalls and one of the greatest gaming vehicles ever to drive around in was just an experienced that can never be matched.  Especially when you put it on co-op and could do this with a friend.
 
I also really enjoy the universe and setting.  It didn't click for me right away, but when I got into it, I really begun to love it.  It can be as deep as something like Star Wars, but doesn't always take itself so seriously and doesn't try to force the story into your face.. but it's there, if you want to enjoy it.
 
With the amount of multiplayer games on the Xbox, you'd have to be very niave to think people simply play the game because of "low standards".  People abandon bad games very quickly, and I'm sure the 1 million+ players that are currently playing Halo 3 right now would disagree with everything you just said. "
There's just a  rhythm to Halo that's so addictive - no other shooter gets the balance quite the same between grenades, shooting and melee - I love the moments when it clicks and you just start ripping through enemies one after another....
