What Happens In This Halo: Reach Campaign Trailer?

Man how do they do it. I know they are going to die a horrible death, but damn I want to know their story.

" @sofacitysweetheart:  I don't get how you seeing stuff that looks like MW2 = Bungie has less faith in Halo. You skipped about 30 steps of logic... "

Music is top notch once again. Reach Me!!!

" No i think the most anticipated is prolly new vegas for me "

" 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. "

They've been doing the Halo thing for almost 10 years. I think they're allowed to get as Halo-y as they want. "

awwww shit, I'm gonna buy a new halo game, whether I like it or not.

"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! "

...eh?  I never said they couldn't/shouldn't, I just said I didn't like the trailer. "

Ah, I gotcha. I too was looking for typical, high adrenaline, Micheal Bay trailer with explosions and quick cuts. This solemn stuff is played out. "

I dunno about "the most anticipated game of 2010" part (Starcraft II, anyone?). Still, I can't wait for this game!

Mot anticipated? Hmmm, no. 
 
Blizzard might have a thing or two to say about that.

" 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 surprised anybody likes this game series...even the kids. The Halo art-style is mega-goofy.  The music is completely unfitting.

Anticipated or not, I want this

Bungie should stop remaking Halo 2 and actually commit the whole team to their new thing, rather than what fucking Microsoft wants.
 
EDIT: Seriously, why the fuck should anybody care about Noble Squad or whatever, or the team from ODST, they are completely out of the blue characters, and just like Anakin and Padme's love affair in Ep.2, we're told we should care about them rather than actually getting to know the characters and developing ties to them. But no, that can't happen because that might not appeal to the core fanbase of little faggots on Xbox Live so hey, guess that will never happen.
 
I'll bet that at next year's E3, they will announce a new Halo game, i would not be surprised at all if we don't see whatever new thing they have going on for at least  afew more years

It's a little hard to get excited about the narrative qualities of the game being that you know at the curtain call the entire planet of Reach gets glassed, nevertheless the game seems to look quality & it is certainly the first of anything Halo that has me interested.

got chills....shit is awesome.

There's been so much Halo now that seeing this isn't really interesting to me anymore.  It's more shooting plasma guns and battle rifles for $60.

Not a lot of halo fans huh?

I'm extremely excited for Reach. Kind of funny but once in a while I go through periods where I hate Halo, and then times like now where I'm more excited for it than anything else coming this year. Bring on Reach!

Meh, I might rent it whenever I get around to reactivating gamefly... *shrug*

I wanna see what glassing looks like.

i actually kind of like the 'last stand' feeling of this game.

less music less quick shots more dialogue that sets the mood the music somewhat accomplished and this was a good trailer.

I feel like Halo has lost its intensity. The Covenant need to be more serious, or something. There's just something missing.

Awesome trailer, and since when did Starcraft fans suddenly hate Halo?

This game is becoming more Awesome.

Meh, I'm not really anticipating this game because I'm probably just going to be let down by the campaign. I think the story setup is good but it fails on the execution. It feels like you need to know a lot of things before playing the game in order to fully enjoy the campaign because the game doesn't explain much to you. I mean more than half of the stuff I know about the Halo universe have come from reading forums where other people have shared their knowledge or reading the Halo wiki page.
 
I've no doubt the multiplayer will be fun though and I'm hoping this will be the game that will get me to renew my gold subscription. MW2 got boring quickly (still prefer COD4) and I chose PC as my platform for BF:BC2. Gears 3 looks fun but since I had huge lag issues with Gears 2 I'll wait until Gears 3 drops to €20 and I'll probably only play through the campaign.

(in the sweatiest, fattest, nerdiest voice you can imagine) The book was better.

Looks like a return to form. From a singleplayer campaign point of view I really rated Halo and Halo 2. Halo 3 disappointed me and ODST just didn't feel right atmosphere and gameplay wise, just felt like something was missing. From the released trailers the single player in Reach looks like it could be epic.

GOTY

Most anticipated game of 2010? HA!

" @sofacitysweetheart:  You've lost your opinion privileges. Gimme a "MW2 cliche" that is actually a cliche invented by the designers at Infinity Ward and not part of trailers/video games through all of gaming history. Geezus, why would you even say that.  Separately, I think Brad and all of South Korea would have to disagree with that "most anticipated" thing Bungie. This is pretty obviously supposed to keep Reach fresh in peoples memory as Starcraft drops, but I don't think that's necessary. When new Halo drops people will buy it because it's new Halo, myself included. Can't hurt that the game looks really good up to this point, can't wait to see the campaign. "

Looks pretty Epic. Not sure about the space combat. Well see. 

Let me check......wait.......almost there........yup, still not excited about this game.

Man I think I'm gonna have to go buy a new XBOX just for this...

Who said it was most anticipated game of 2010?
