the images in the OP?
check the date.
also reading the title would have told you they were leaked images, thus why the "shit images"

- We play as Spartan IIIs. Jorge is the only Spartan II on the team.

- Carter 259 and Kat 320 are the only members of their original squad.

- Jorge is a heavy weapons specialist.

- "Skully" now has a name, Emile 239. He's the silent type of the game.

- The sniper is called Jun 266. He's thoughtful and taciturn.

- We can customise the appearance of the Lone Wolf by a small degree. Awesome.

- The game is apparently darker than any of the other Halo games, even more so than ODST.

- Human Insurrectionists are possibly in the game

- Bungie have once again made the Covenant more dangerous and frightening, as they were in Halo 1.

- Covenant soldiers no longer speak English, they speak in their own languages.

- A new enemy like a Jackal has been introduced, named a "Skirmisher." They are deadly and cunning enemies that attack in packs, and flank secure positions.

- Graphics have been improved drastically, as proven by in-magazine comparisons.

- Elites are back, and are more ferocious than ever.

- Larger scale combat will be in Reach. Where only 20 AI at a time could be on screen in Halo 3, now over 40 AI and 20 vehicles can be present at a time.

- Scenes are more cinematic.

- Noble Team splits up at a point in the story.

- Health Bar is back along with energy shield.

- Single shot rifle like the Halo 2 E3 demo is in the game, named the Designated Marksman Rifle (DRM)

- Sniper, AR and Magnum make a return. Gun sounds are more realistic.

- Needler Rifle is in the game, a mid-range headshot capable weapon.

- Spike Grenades and Flame Grenades are out. Only frags and plasma remain.

- Helicopter Transport is called the Falcon.

- Civillian vehicles are now drivable.

- Fully stealthy gameplay is now possible.

- Assassinations are possible with a knife by holding down the melee button.

- Sprinting is now possible through an equipment like mechanic.

**BadKarma** · 2010-01-11 15:27

Snow I've never seen a post of yours contain more than 7 words lol. But yes, it does indeed look awesome.

If you ever read the Reach novel, it's dark as shit. Not to give the plot away, but there's a reason Master Chief is the only Spartan left in Halo 1.

The problem is that bungie is completely throwing away the novel as being cannon with what we've seen so far. =(.

Yeah Fall of Reach was fucking awesome. I wish they made the movie that followed the events of the book. This Halo may be the best one by far, and it's not even close.

Beta starts for May 3rd pre-ordered ODST owners.

Requesting Mod change to title

Just make it Halo: Reach

**Kyo** · 2010-02-12 13:22

Ill have to admit Halo Reacharound is looking really good. If they go with this serious tone Ive been reading about, it should make for a really awesome game. Their also saying its going to be the best halo in the series, we shall see.

**BadKarma** · 2010-02-12 13:26

Halo 2 was the best multiplayer game in the last decade imo. The multiplayer will be touch to beat.

I don't agree. Their were MANY other spartans on Reach. This game tells some of their story. Not the MCs

So this is the Halo:Modern Warfare series of Halo games then. Pretty. As long as its not a fucking love story like ODST was.
