Spoilers!
 
Looking good, but not sure I'm going to nab in come September. ODST didn't appeal to me even with the promise of avatar awards... maybe sweeter avatar awards will sell me on it!

It takes a lot of balls to claim your game is the most anticipated game of 2010. Who knows? I might be really psyched for Madden '11...

This is not my most anticipated game of 2010. 
 
Partly 'cause I wouldn't be able to play it even if I bought it.

It still looks pretty awesome regardless of whether it's the most anticipated game of 2010.

What's crazy to me about this trailer are the number of shots that seem like they were ripped straight out of Avatar. Before James Cameron releases his blue-alien picture, people were complaining how close the material was to the Halo games, with Cameron going so far as to claim that he invented the Space Marines that Halo ripped off in the first place. Now, with some of the shots in the trailer, and it really looks like Halo is ripping off shots from Avatar. It's all come full circle!

Halo Reach: Modern Warfare.
 
Good to see Bungie have enough faith in their own "Most Anticipated Game" that they went for a bunch of MW2 clichés in this trailer :/.

A rental for me. I don't think i will enjoy the new class based, body hopping combat to be honest. I will enjoy it even less if it has tacked on tactical elements to create an artificial sense of trial and error dificulty.
 
I refuse to pay for x-box live (cos I aint an idiot) so the multiplayer is moot to me. I aint interested in deathmatch anyways.
 
It probably is the most anticipated game of 2010. There are millions of "Halo Jesus" fanboys out there. Accept it guys. Halo is here to stay. For at least  1 more sequel.

Makes me wish my 360 was working. Looks to be the best one yet. And I'd love some explanation on what these "Modern Warfare 2 cliches" were. If you mean the more cinematic feel, MW2 was hardly the forerunner in pioneering that style of game. Try harder.

@Tactical_Kill:  lol. Guess we'll find out when the sales figures hit. I believe sc2 will rape and pillage halo reach. Halo has almost no appeal outside the west. Well played sir. I accept your point. Halo fan boys wither when faced with blizzardites.

@Tactical_Kill: maybe bungie planned this trailer release for after the release of Starcraft 2. Therefore saying they have the most anticipated game of 2010 would still stand because we are no longer anticipating Starcraft.

Yes, because leaps of faith and flares were invented in 2009 with the release of Modern Warfare 2.

Most anticipated game of the year?
 
Not for me... I've read the novel, and I cant see this game matching it.

Call me a fan boy, but I played Reach beta, from the day it opened till the day it shut down.  I was amazed, it blew 3 outta the water, and left me craving more.  I cannot wait for the full release of this game.  Starcraft 2 holds little appeal for me, played the 7 hour *demo* and it's just like i was playing a pretty'd up expansion of Starcraft 1..  didn't feel all that innovative to me, so my anticipation is far higher for Reach.
 
In my opinion... RTS fans were clammoring for SC2
FPS fans.. Reach
Everyone:  New Vegas ^^

I'm way more excited for this than anything else that's coming out or came out this year. Everything about it just looks so damn good. The campaign, the multiplayer, the new Forge, every aspect of this game just amazes me to no end.  GET HYPE!

To be honest, this trailer makes me even LESS excited.  It just looks too clichéd/generic, and the "most anticipated game" and "remember Reach" lines really don't help.

That's a nice exaggeration there. But you at least kinda understand what I'm saying, so it's cool :).
 
I guess they don't have as much faith in the Halo name as they used to.
