Gameplay Details:
New carbine that shoots needles, and explodes when 3 needles are hit.

BR
It is a one shot battle rifle with 12 rounds, pretty powerful and effective long range.

Perks
New HUD (see photos). In the bottom left, you can see your squad mates health and names.
Right above the radar shows what perks you are carrying. When I played there were 3 perks-sprinting, cloaking, and hologram.
The sprinting makes you run when you hold LB
Cloaking makes you invisible (when you cloak your radar jams and you can’t really hear anything around you).
The hologram creates a hologram of you, so enemies will shoot at both.

I like the addition of sprint. Perks, not so much (if that's indeed what they are).

I hope it's not on the same old dated Halo 3 engine, but I'm sure it will be. $:-\$

Is this a straight up new game, or an expansion type deal like ODST?

Supposed to be a new game. ODST came with the multiplayer beta, btw, whenever that starts.

-If they're really changing the BR then I wonder what the new default weapon is going to be
-I like the oldschool HUD
-Carbine (if that is a carbine -- looks like a new gun entirely) is way too bulky
-Hologram sounds OP, though it's hard to say without the details

Holy mother! what is that on the back of the warthog?

also, you can see that the driver is using the cloak perk

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #9 on:** November 05, 2009, 05:46:18 PM »

Probably just a remodeled rocket turret.

cool breeze · « **Reply #10 on:** November 05, 2009, 06:00:55 PM »

not to get too far into the Halo lore, but doesn't this take place before Halo 1? a lot of weapons being inferior to those in 1, 2, 3, ODST would probably make sense. That big ass part at the end of the Warthog could be some prototype rocket launcher before it was scaled down.

then again I didn't play Halo Wars, so maybe that says different.

I believe it's the Tom Morello engine, which is a great engine except for one tiny flaw they haven't been able to fix.

Look at that mountain in the background. That's just pre-WoW MMO quality.

Tom Morello looks like he came right out of a Bethesda game with that dead eyed stare and low poly count.

Probably not. The reason Reach is hitting next year is because Epic wont be ready with Gears of War 3. Possibly because they need the extra time to develop a better online system.

Could've sworn that they said Gears 3 won't be for the 360.

There was some speculation of that at TGS, but Epic has since clarified saying THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW.

Yeah Gears was great.

I think I prefer 3rd person games to First person games. We need more 3rd person shooters.

Halo 3 and ODST look like absolute dogshit. I don't expect anything else form Reach. Bungie doesn't care about graphics- Halo sheeps will buy it anyway.

They're sheep because they don't care about the graphics?

Besides, you can't even tell anything about the relative detail level from shots like this.

I understand not caring so much about graphics, but it gets ridiculous when fanboys and media fall back on "pre-alpha," early on, switch to "it's got a subtle beauty" when it's apparent that not much will change, and "suffers from minor issues, but the art direction is great, 9/10" when it's released. If your fans and the critics are grasping for ways to avoid telling it like it is about the visuals, there really isn't much reason for them to improve.

Bocsius · « **Reply #42 on:** November 06, 2009, 03:56:40 PM »

1) Halo 3's graphics are fine.
2) Reach's graphics look like placeholder.
3) Reach should be cancelled.
4) ? ? ?
5)

Gears of War 3

Diluting the franchise is 343 Industries' entire mission statement.
