@mrsmiley: same happend with gears 2.
 
It's just a case of making it run smoother while having all those polygons, im sure halo 3 could have had 1000+ polygons, but with its engine it would have run at like 3FPS

Oh totally. I was kinda being facetious. ;) I'm actually really impressed at what modern-day developers are able to do with 5 year old hardware.

As they were talking about needing to revamp their tech, I wonder if they can make human faces that don't look completely laughable. But this does look more interesting than previous games.

Hell yeah Reach. ODST was a step in the right direction but this looks like an actual successor to Halo 3. Hopefully the multiplayer will be huge.

I hope to god Bungie innovates on the Multiplayer ..... its been the same since Halo 1 days ..... See a battle, Go in guns blazing, throw a couple of grenades on approach, die, rinse and repeat.  
Bungie has some work to catch up the IW, as they are the Kings of XBOX LIVE .... but this has me excited.

This game looks like a big jump from ODST in terms of production value and hard work. The changes to the engine are phenomenal! Here's hoping that this becomes the best Halo game yet!

I almost crapped my self when they showed Halo: Combat Evolved, and then Reach, to see that graphical jump was mind blowing. Great video can't wait for this game. This might even be better than Combat Evolved.

Epic. I've loved every Halo game, but this is the one I've been waiting for. It looks like they're finally capitalizing on just how epic the universe really is and they were able to convey that sense of scope way better than any other game in the series. Even in this vidoc it's easy to tell that the battles are taking place on a far larger scale than even some of Halo 3's biggest levels.  
 
And I gotta give a shout out to Marty. No matter where the series goes, Marty is always at the top of his game. His soundtracks are always a day-one purchase for me. Perfect.

So basically it's Halo 3..but with more stuff. They even said so in the video "We want to find a balance between the traditional Halo gameplay and the new stuff". Why can't Bungie be original for a change. Also, why the fuck did they ever leave Microsoft anyway, they're still making damn Halo games.

I don't know if you notice but Halo 3 has been on or near the top of Xbox Live for literally the last THREE YEARS, a feat which no one else can even get close to (MW2 might hold up there, but MW seems too annualized for that). I'm not disagreeing with your point about the multiplayer being the same, but if you think that IW beats Bungie you are dead wrong (by stats, at least).

It would be nice if they finally made a Halo game as good as the original.

Let's see if for once what a developer wants to do and what actually comes out are the same.
