Son of a bitch that is a gigantic area that Warthog is cruising through.

I don't see any ARs in this scene, but it's probably too good to be true...

Also, is this up on Live yet?

 

[VaLiancY]

By the way, I can make out the chick's name in the 720p video: Kat.

Are those shotgun shells on the forearm and 40mm grenade rounds on his waist? Someone is geared.

Don't worry. There's an invisible barrier on either side of the road.

 

[Domino Theory]

The "lone wolf" and Kat.

Absolutely amazing. Moar!!

i seriously doubt we'll see an enviro like that in game though

If they get this to run at 720p with 2x AA I'll be mightily impressed by the engine. Don't get me wrong, as a lighting whore I think this trailer looks awesome, I'm only saying that it just can't run in realtime on any console hardware with that IQ level.

I'm with you, I think the trailer looks pretty amazing. I'm just saying I don't understand the earlier posters saying the trailer looks bad.

The BR is the staple Halo weapon once more.

To all the AR-whoring, BR-hating naysayers claiming Bungie would do otherwise: Fuck all y'all.

 

[voltron]

Yes and no. Sub HD resolution add a whole blur to the image that's really unpleasant on big TVs, plus a new level of jaggies of course.

Fair enough.

Could it be a new AA technique?

 

[Proelite]

Just imagine the shitstorm it would have been if these images were leaked instead of the Morello ones.

trailer definitely looks good, i don't think it was a particularly good trailer though...

I don't recall too many of those people actually existing (well, maybe Dax), but okay.

Edit: fucking hell those pics look awesome.

 

[Plywood]

Yeah, but I don't remember any Spartan 3s being around pre-Halo. Was Reach completely destroyed at the end? I don't remember.

Reach

Spoiler

was glassed.

Carter and Jorge (pronounced like George apparently haha).

Spanish spelling, pronounced differently, but it is George in english.

 

[AdventureRacing]

I think it looks good, than again i think i must be easily impressed cause i really like halo 3's graphics:lol

I think the most exciting part is the way the clip concentrated on the scope. There are enough corridor shooters on the market just trying to push pretty graphics. Hopefully Bungie went for a game with a massive scope.

 

[Striker]

There is something appearing in the sky on the image with the Spartan carrying a BR walking past the Sniper Spartan.. top right. Unless it's just nothing...

 

[NullPointer]

After watching it in 720p on the 360... WOW.

Looks way, way, way too crisp and clean to be representative of gameplay, so I'm not setting my hopes to that high a bar for quality. I'd be all kinds of shocked and awed though if Bungie just let all those jaggy complaints slide, so I think its safe to assume the end result IQ will be sharp enough to avoid any Halo 3 levels of hysteria.

Overall animation is night and day compared to Halo 3, and while the faces themselves are improved, the actual facial animation still seems out of whack.

My guess is for more options and gameplay on the co-op front, and a revitalized Elite AI.

Sounds good to me. In fact, I'd wish this was the first we ever saw or heard of Reach instead of the teaser we did get.

[expy]

I'd like to see some gameplay though, the trailer is fine and all but more interested to see what changes they've made to the actual gameplay.

 

[op_ivy]

i REALLY hope that lighting is in the actual game and not just in cut-scenes

 

[kittoo]

I too am in the sceptics side. While its certainly not CG, and a lot of it seems as if it can be in-game, the uber amount of Anti-Aliasing (or the complete lack of aliasing) makes me wonder 'if something' was done.

Ty for that shot, I spot front iron sight on that badboy.

Yes, I know it's Spanish. That's why I think it's funny that he pronounces it as the English name.

 

[big ander]

Zomg. This is so good in 720p. So good.

Wonder why we weren't told the names of 2 of the 6 main characters. EDIT: Meh, everyone else got to screening the trailer before me.

 

[EazyB]

I don't recall too many of those people actually existing (well, maybe Dax), but okay.

And here I am trying to be nice and not single people out.

Fuck Dax.

 

[Ramirez]

You're nuts if you think this game will have any kind of ironsight aiming.

Easter Egg in the Trailer?

2:01 in:

Marine model looks better, that's for sure.

Just watched the HD version, and there is no way this can be realtime. Not a hint of aliasing in sight, that's just not possible for any console. It's at best a high res rendered version of a realtime cutscene (like the Halo 3 teaser was), at worse CG using the game assets.

Just don't call it CG, that will really set them off, oh wait you almost did. :lol

I haven't been following the Halo threads on GAF, so this is all new. It seems to me that the same people eating out of the PR's hands now will come back with vengeance when actual gameplay videos come out. It's interesting to see the cycle up close.

 

[Metroidvania]

Honestly, by the way some of you carry on, it's like determining this one graphical jump will determine your entire purchasing experience.

Thus far, it's in-game, it could be better than standard in-game footage (perhaps similar to Bungie's aliasing properties for current halo 3 photos/videos, perhaps not, we don't know), and you know what?

It still looks goddamn better than Halo 3 or ODST did, and if you're playing a shooter solely for its graphical prowess, you're doing it wrong.

 

[Buttonbasher]

I'm going to need some higher resolution source material...

YOU'RE doing it wrong, Met.

You're supposed to waste your time going into Halo threads telling all the Halo fans that Bungie sucks and that it's not real-time!

Wow aren't you so much better then the Halo Gafers.

"We're gonna need supplies......."

I'll let you finish that quote for me.

The ones that show the draw distance with the two Helicopters flying looks like a freaking painting. WOW. And the detail on that Elite...holy shit! Looks like one mean bastard.

Looks like another planet off in the horizon... if your talking about the thing with the rings.

 

[Max]

I never thought I'd be excited for this.

 

[TTG]

Not at all. Sometimes I just forget that not everyone has been into gaming for, I guess, a long time. New fans are streaming in all the time, that's great. I just assumed that people were conscious of the fact that trailers that have nothing resembling gameplay in them go to what IGN would call "presentation" and not so much to the other stuff.

 

[VaLiancY]

He is so ready to fuck some shit up.

I'm stealing this one for an avatar, okay?

 

[zumphry]

...I don't see it. The letters on the side of the 'Hog?

Yeah. Probably just something someone from Bungie threw in. Though, it is nice to have a small glimpse of what our favorite allies will look like while they're not in dead heaps on the floor. :lol

 

[Trasher]

Go for it.

This is what some of you were looking at in the sky and trying to figure out what it was. Just a Covie ship.

Oh, and since I can't stop watching this trailer and taking screens, if any of you would like a certain screen cap for an avvy or anything just let me know. I'll be up for a while haha.

 

[EazyB]

He is so ready to fuck some shit up.

So the demo class can carry up to 18 grenades?!?

What are the chances we'll get to use that in MP? Looks a lot bigger than the hornet but much smaller and easier to fit in the game than a pelican.

 

[Mastperf]

Reach for Insulin.

Sooo close, sorry. What we were looking for was "Have you tried Yaz?"
Nice to have you with us. We'd like to give you a mustache grooming kit as a parting gift. With it we will also include Buggus Brand Delousing Shampoo©.

 

[joey_z]

Christ Almighty this game looks phenomenal. I just wish they fixed the spartan proportions. The asses look too big. It's a bit awkward.

He walks funny because of this huge metallic underoo.

Edit:

Without a doubt in my mind this is the best looking in engine cut scene this console generation so far. The lighting is crazy good.
