I never would have thought the Halo series would one day struggle to remain relevant, but the magic really is gone.

Looks....like Halo to me. Not really that exciting to me. Then I've never been a HUGE halo fan so maybe that's it. But... I don't really see anything all that exciting.

Did you pay attention, Ghost never died, he was just MIA. :P

Looks both tubular and radical. 
I don't really get everyone going "ZOMG GHOST RIP-OFF", though... Sure, I noticed the similarity immediately, too, but I, also, designed a character with a skull on his mask before I saw Ghost. 
It's a pretty mainstream design.

The only thing I have to say to that is, how long ago did we first see ghost? If we didn't see it, bungie didn't see it and they've been working on the game 2 years. Pretty sure they made the design decision about the same time IW did, Bungie just takes more time making their games.

Dutch in ODST (you know, that game that came out BEFORE MW2) has a skull painted on his helmet.

Those don't look like spartans.  They're starting to look like big exaggerated anime characters.

Wait, is there Master Chief in the Reach story? Because if not, I care significantly less.

Not a bad trailer, but it does nothing to justify the game. My bets are on the same old same old given Bungie is either unwilling or doesn't have the talent to change things up a little.

It's hardly a trailer at all. More like a snippet of a snippet of a trailer. It shows nothing whatsoever.

That trailer is underwhelming. But I'm more interested in the game now that I know they changed the engine, or greatly improved it.

Looks incredibly promising. I was worried it was gonna be a poor man's TF2, but it looks like a singleplayer squad-based game that finally lets you play beside other SPARTANs, which is what I've wanted all along.

I hate how the Mark IV armor is so bulky. Also, aren't Spartans all supposed to be green? The book didn't mention that Spartans had different armor permutations.

Even though this might not be a valid argument, Reach was in the making before MW2..
And yes, i do think so. Having a visor with something painted over it isn't that terribly unimaginable.
He's sitting there sharpening a huge knife on his fucking armor, of course he needs to have a skullface!

I doubt that in the month since MW2 came out that they had the time to insert or remove any similarities to ghost, so I think it's safe to assume that this is a coincidence. Besides, that's just a rip off of Army of Two
