Wait, is there Master Chief in the Reach story? Because if not, I care significantly less.

Hopefully this turns out to be better than ODST.

Those don't look like spartans.  They're starting to look like big exaggerated anime characters.

Dutch in ODST (you know, that game that came out BEFORE MW2) has a skull painted on his helmet.

The only thing I have to say to that is, how long ago did we first see ghost? If we didn't see it, bungie didn't see it and they've been working on the game 2 years. Pretty sure they made the design decision about the same time IW did, Bungie just takes more time making their games.

this might actually be the first time a halo game catches my interest. if this really is gonna be a republic commando style squad based game i think it could be a great reboot for the franchise. curious to see more

Looks both tubular and radical. 
I don't really get everyone going "ZOMG GHOST RIP-OFF", though... Sure, I noticed the similarity immediately, too, but I, also, designed a character with a skull on his mask before I saw Ghost. 
It's a pretty mainstream design.

Looks....like Halo to me. Not really that exciting to me. Then I've never been a HUGE halo fan so maybe that's it. But... I don't really see anything all that exciting.

I never would have thought the Halo series would one day struggle to remain relevant, but the magic really is gone.

Then fuck off and don't bother watching the video, you ain't being forced.

Well it looks like they are going to be focusing on after John has grown up and become a Spartan, which will probably be more of the same.

I think I'm more psyched for this than I ever was for ODST. A change of pace and style will be really refreshing, and the Fall of Reach is something I've wanted to see for a long time.

at least COD makes an effort to switch up the gameplay and introduce new things.
halo does the same thing every time.

They really need to work on something new and different. Halo was good and has gone steadily downhill. ODST was not very good at all (IMO). I don't expect anything else from reach, maybe I'll rent it one day when I'm really bored. But seriously, I'm sick of all this sequel bussiness. I want NEW games, not another ten rehashes of the same thing. Games need to take bigger chances and they will see profit.

We shall see how this goes, but I'm quite looking forward to a new halo game, especially if there's more than one spartan in it. I always felt kind of lonely playing as master chief; being the only spartan and all. Maybe it'll be  a cool squad shooter kind of thing... similar to republic commando? Who knows? Lol :D We shall see...

Trailer was sexy in about 6 different ways, one reason is wearing a mask with a skull painted on it and one has a robot arm.

Is it just me or are they finally using motion-capture?  The character animation in Halo cutscenes has always been fairly poor, but this looks quite nice.

I think the devs know they have to massively overhaul or change everything we/they know about Halo in order to compete with modern games like Killzone and Bad Company. Hopefully something squad based?

Hasn't every Halo game up to this point been "Bungie's next (and final?)" Halo game?

What exactly has CoD added to change things up that Halo hasn't?
ODST was quite a departure for the Halo series, and this seems to be taken many of those aspects even further..

Those graphics are amazing. I love how all the haters were complaining that it was CG at first :D Bungie did a good job, despite the rather uneventful trailer. They've set the tone and I now need Fall 2010 come.

So is there a lore reason why there's a female Spartan or is it just for the sake of variety?

If you threw out every female fetus i think you'd be wasting around 50% of your potential superhuman soldiers.
