Wow is it just me or does the music sound like something from Half Life? Which I am totally ok with because Half Life is awesome. I am trying to find the song it sounds like now.

Zombieland style motion text is the new trend of 2010?

I have hated every halo since the first one, and I really want to play this, it looks awesome. they even brought back the 2x zoom pistol in multiplayer. 
 
also, I see no dual wielding, which is awesome.

The problem with prequels is that they have to offer you better stuff than previous games, which makes you wonder where all of that cool tech disappeared to.

Very clever.  
 
People are too used to saying this when they see a halo game as a knee-jerk reaction. What they have shown so far is the engine, which is retooled and updated from the ground up - and the multiplayer - where they have already introduced new melee, sprint, jetpack and vehicle mechanics that actually change the core of the gameplay unlike say, new perks, or other standard sequel additions to the MP. 
   
But good for you S0ndor, you got to rehash the "This is a halo game" - line that are so popular whenever something halo related is shown. If they are actually showing new stuff or not is not whats important here - it's the comedic gold which is S0ndor's halo satire.

The Reach story is the single part of the entire fiction of the Halo series that I'm actually somewhat interested in seeing, so I couldn't care less about the multiplayer bit.
