Great week for shooters.
Portal gets updated, Bad Company 2 hits, and Halo Reach multiplayer leaks.

Would be sweet if they went a weapons permutation route with executions... You can unlock different ones and then use which ever animation you went in multiplayer as your calling card.
Could actually happen too from the different types of executions we saw in the video.
Another new gametype.

Yeah you see them blow up a generator during the Elites vs Spartans section.
Could be a Battlefield type gameplay where you destroy points accross a map, or could be to drop shields and open up other areas. Either way this is the sort of gametype I think I'd really like.

no letdowns.
I called it:lol

I wonder if they looked at Gears 2 for the weapon based executions? It would certainly add a little more variety to the game.
Someone already posted but Tribes instantly hit me in the face. The thought of squads of Jetpacking Spartans and Elites is going to be too awesome.

Wow....the wait is going to be so much worse now. I already have watched this vid like 5 times. Amazing.
Edit: Also what do they mean by "Active Roster"??? Clan support?

I only saw Spartans jetpacking and elites rolling, maybe these are exclusive.

I think there is a Red Spartan rolling at one point in the vid for a second, on a walk way or something.
Edit: Nope it is an Elite.

The few glimpses of invasion are truly mesmerizing.
I can't stop thinking about it as being some sort of firefight-l4d-wtf mode.
So much win in just 98 seconds.
And now we know two new armour abilities: a shield and fucking jetpacks.
jetpacks.
Dear lord. Jetpacks.
All aboard the hype jetpack!

Sai-kun said:Oh yeah, did anybody else notice there were SIX people during the "Invasion" gametype?
Yep.
So, firefight online (meaning player-controlled covenant) with 6 spartans?
I'm not gonna survive this day at work.
Thank God I work for the multimedia section of the company, so nothing is blocked on my pc:lol
The footage lists.
Loadouts (Weapon and Upgrade packs? Kinda like MW2 kit loadouts?)
Assassinations (Stealth + Assassination = Flaming Ninja! )
Invasion (Firefight but with Humans playing on both sides?)
Headhunter (Funny to see someone headshot and 5 or 6 skulls pop out :lol )
Active Roster? (Clan support would be pretty awesome.)
Spartans Vs Elites (Pretty obvious)

I really like the damage-direction indicator...more natural than the previous red arrows. Its also much less strain on the eyes than the blood/red screens in COD and other shooters.
Looked at it again, the arrows are still there. still cool though.

Some thing I found interesting:
Death at 0:25 by granade-like explosion is blurred (new mine-like weapon?)
Also a similar explosion is shown later in the footage.

Looks good, but still very Halo. Like really very Halo. Still can't wait to get my hands on it, but I'm hoping it feels more different than that video implies.
I noticed that your ability is shown near the top of the radar. If you watch the footage, you can see it draining when its used. 0:33 onwards shows the stealth being used up.
From 1:13 onwards also shows objectives destroying. Bottom right corner also shows A and C, C vanishing once the objectives is destroyed. Maybe its a Health Bar for the objective?

At 1:04, check out all them red dots! Is that a radar jammer... or.....???
Sai-kun said:
No. Think wolfenstein. I think it will be 6 vs 6 for an objective type invasion game. So stop them getting to the beachhead, then stop them getting to the perimiter then stop then getting to the base and blowing it the fuck up.
Or Yeah, 6 vs 6 DM, covies vs humans, each starting with their own species vehicles and weapons. Not as exiting to me as a objective type mode.
All speculation though obviously.

Is it related to the alpha-state maybe?
Or maybe the footage is quite old/the beta doesn't have the new mo-cap animations?

Don't know but the other death animations shown in the vid (especially via melee and not just the assinations) look considerably better than previous games in the franchise.

So good, and so excited for team/class objective based Halo multi.
And that music was sci-fi hotness too!
