From the small clips shown in the video i'm quiet excited!

All the screenies are boasting 1920x1080... Do you think this means they are finally ditching the 640p rubbish? I hope so. 1080p would be gorgeous, although combating frame rate issues would be a massive bitch.... especially considering the mass polygon and AI boost.

The game certainly will not be 1080p, 720p surely considering they've had plenty of time to optimise their engine.

Haven't played any of the Halo's, is this tied in with the rest of them - or independent?

This game is set before Halo: Combat Evolved & is based around the planet called Reach, which is destroyed.

Whatever did happen to 1080p gaming. I thought that's what this whole generation was about and neither console maker has really lived up to that. A shame. I don't really mind the lower res when it's up on the big screen but when I play on my xbox which is on my desk it's quite apparent.

Ah, prequels are good. Although I tried playing Halo the very first time it came out, and couldn't get into it. I've missed the others since, but this does look delicious.

It's about HD gaming, and is somewhat ambiguous about what exactly are HD gaming resolutions. We could go 1080p, but then the graphics would have to be toned down and we all know how much of a sales killer that can be.

that looks mad, hope it's better than halo 3

mcrow5 · 4th March 2010, 7:03 AM

multiplayer FTW!!!!

all i can say is.....bring on May 3!!! cant wait for this

n2o · 4th March 2010, 1:13 PM

to be honest, the multiplayer looks same old, infact all halo multiplayer has looked the same part from more polygons

for some reason, i could never appreciate the halo multiplayer experience

gregpolk · 4th March 2010, 2:26 PM

That looks like about the biggest change they've ever made to the multiplayer n2o. If you don't like halo multi I'm sure they're not going to change your mind.

Quite impressed with the trailer. The one thing that keeps me coming back for the odd game of halo is the sheer number of game modes.

mrpiccolod · 5th March 2010, 9:13 PM

I think that trailer was amazing really showed off the halo experience as we know it and highlighted the new additions which look to really bring the series up a notch.

Jetpacks +
Camo +
Sprint +
Dodge +
Assassinations +
Elites are back +
New weapons +
New pop up shield ability thingy +1 (from the MP trailer the guy who takes out a ghost uses one)

It looks like there will be some sort of class system with loudouts which is a great addition as it should make the game even more tactical.

I honestly can't wait for May just for this game (beta)

tarek001 · 6th March 2010, 10:32 PM

this might actually make me take up halo on a regular basis again.

Tried playing recently in a couple ranked matches, result = lol (lag really doesnt help either...) ....might stick to social till i can aim again....

i think they've tried to add too much shit, might really water down the halo exp. I also think that with every new halo release its much easier to die.

if anyone plays a couple of custom (team slayer/slayer) games add me, need to play against a couple of aussies.
