I thought the terminals would just be some text or audio like previous Halo games. Pleasantly surprise to see that they're going to be much more than that. Also, check out those slick transitions between images. Good stuff.

I think this will be the last Halo title released for the Xbox 360. New Console announced next E3 with Halo 4 a launch title mid-late 2013, would also explain why they have kept the multiplayer open to Reach fans... although if the 360 continues to sell they may delay the announcement till the following E3. Brad dollars!

They kinda showed the first terminal stuff, which looks nice. 343 can do some interesting halo videos.

I'm still amazed by how great an idea this is. I really hope Halo fans enjoy it because they seem to be handling this game perfectly.

Everything they are doing with this is great. From allowing players to swap between new and classic visuals on the fly and offering the multiplayer maps as DLC - this seems like an awesome collection.

I think David Ellis had about 6 cans of Red Bull before this interview. Tough job. :(

Nice to see Drew took some time out of his day to stop killing serial killers and do this interview. 
 
Glad to see they included Timberland from Halo PC. I loved that map.

You know how I knew all the answers to Drew's questions? Because 100 other websites have asked the same questions. Why do sites do that? Ask questions that aren't always asked.

Good stuff, Drew. Interviews are always better when the interviewer knows a subject through and through.

Hey Dave! What makes you think that your Halo Reach community will be the same as your Halo 1 community? Halo 1 and Halo Reach are totally different games and pull very different user bases. Sure, you might have a 20 or 30 percent overlap, but that can be said about almost any game (i.e., maybe 20 or 30 percent of Madden's online users also play Halo Reach online, but the majority don't -- the user base doesn't overlap that much!). Please re-assess your assumptions about dividing your user-base if you ever decide to make an Halo 2 Anniversary edition ( I can only handle one tragedy a decade).

I didn't realize the DLC would be playable on Reach. That's pretty cool!

Not to thrilled about Halo Reach multiplayer even on classic Halo 1 maps.
