Wow this game looks a lot better than its predecessors.

@stinky: I'm with you there 100%. I was so disappointed with the story and then ODST put me down further. I truly never thought the series could come back to match the precipice Halo 2 achieved, but damn does this look like the game that'll do it!

I have to say: this already looks like a far bigger step than the one from Halo CE to Halo 2 or Halo 2 to Halo 3. In any case, I am genuinely excited to see how it plays.

When I played Halo 1 multi, I'd always mimic the Wookie like screams of the Elites when I died (I never play Halo online, just with splitscreen and sys link). When they changed it so the Elite's did it themselves during multi for Halo 2, it made my fucking day. I never understand people who play Halo seriously. It's clearly meant for just fucking around. And nothing will say fucking around better than me on a jetpack screaming BAAAAAHHH.

You know what, I wouldn't doubt that you will be able to insert your own words like that within Forge.  That would be interesting with Machinima and Custom Games.

I was going to say - Well there we go here is more halo - which in a sense is true. 
 
I was very impressed how they increased the quality of the graphics especially all of the animations of the characters and the guns, I also really like the new look of the reticules for the firearms.

The jetpacks didn't do too much for me, but the multiplayer just looked streamlined, more emphasis on precise shots, I saw nothing but weapons that were getting headshots, it'll be interesting to see how that goes with the hectic gameplay, but the trailer definitely piqued my interest, especially when halo 3 multiplayer lost me after being an avid halo 2 player

Concidering how well they sell, your atleast in the minority I would say.
Now I myself am not a huge Halo fan but I really loved Combat Evolved and ODST. Halo 2 and Halo 3 were ok but didn't set my world on fire.
 
And saying that the Halo games are rubbish is kinda going to far. Now if you like the games or not is totally up to you but anyone that play games like Halo or CoD for that mather (I personally didn't like MW2 at all but its still an excelent game)  can see that they are super polished games whit exelent mechanics, in short superb games.
 
People can say that they love or hate a game no mather what game it is, but when a game is really well made and some one calls it bad is not ok in my book.
 
People need to differentiate between their like or dislike of a game whit the quallity of the game because a game can be really exelent but you can still dislike the game and vice versa.
 
Like for instance, the best game I ever played isn't the same as my favorite game of all time.

I loved this trailer which convinced me to go buy ODST. Talked about to some friends who aren't into Halo. Showed them this vid and instantly they wanted to know everything about this game. IT LOOKS SICK!!!!!!

Interesting. Still definitely looks like Halo, but a little more fresh. Basically like a Halo 4.

Your argument is now officially invalid since you described a franchise as being a slut.

So? They are still really well made games. Like I said, if you like the Halo games are not is totally your own choice and I can respect that. But you can't call a game like Halo 3 a bad game since its clearly not. I didn't like Halo 2 or Halo 3 all that much but they are still both really great games.

" Shame. All they had to show is 32vs32, and dropships piloted by human players, flying into a hotzone with 10 spartans ready to get busy. This is just more OLD HALO. At least the Battlefield series knows how evolve. Sorry Halo, you're just too boring now. "
So from this short trailer you gathered the max number of people that can be in matches as well as all the multiplayer game types and which vehicles are player controlled. That's some skill you have.

@Regal: Haha chill out. I was just poking fun at the franchise that so many gamers consider to be sacred. I have only played a bit of Combat Evolved's singleplayer campaign myself, so I know very little about Halo.
