Amazon has the system for Pre-Order already: It's $399.99 and comes with the Limited Edition Slim System, 2 Limited Edition Controllers, a head set and the Standard Edition of Halo Reach (Weak. Come on MS, at least throw in the Limited Edition of Reach to keep the Limited Edition theme of the bundle going). The System also makes Halo related noises upon start up and when the disc drive opens.

Can't wait for this one, especially playing thru the main game on CO-OP and getting into Forge World.

Trailer dropped.

I can't wait for this one. I really enjoyed ODST so I'm looking forward to this.

I wonder if that is in-game or rendered.

I love all things Halo, but I really hope that was in game, which means they are working on a new engine. The old one is really showing its age.

Well it's about time they made a Halo game with good graphics! Honestly though, with games like Gears of War and Call of Duty, Halo really isn't much of a thought anymore. Most people, at least the ones I know, play it just because they feel they have to...it's Halo. I think we all played ODST like once and never touched it again, same with Halo 3. They really need a re-boot to get some fans back.

Bungie themselves say it's a in-game cutscene not CG.

if that is in game, they really are coming up with something special. Lets hope they bring a 10 hour campaign at least....

yeah you can tell thats in game. Looks really good. Much better then the Older Halo 3 engine. I love the art design in Halo, the armor on these guys always look badass.

False on pretty much this entire post.

Trailer looked really good.

Cut scenes are nice but gameplay is all that matters. Let's see some in game footage then we'll talk.

Is this going to be squad-based?

I know it's just a teaser trailer but that looked kinda boring. It did nothing to wow me into being hyped up for the game. Maybe once we see some gameplay vids i'll be more interested.

Right. Cut scenes don't tell us jack. Cut scenes almost always look better than the actually game play so there's no way to know what the actual game will be like.

I agree. Even though it was impressive that it was in game I really thought that there would have been some game play footage not just in game engine footage.

Hopefully there will be perks and customizations and levels in the new multiplayer. After CoD it's sometimes hard to go back to Halo.

I'm the opposite, I got really excited after watching the teaser trailer. It's just a cut scene so you can't say anything about the graphics but I loved the music.
That's going to be my most expected game of the fall/last third of the year. Right now I'm only focusing on Bioshock 2, I'm looking for something between Bioshock and Reach

"Spartans never die, they are just missing in action." Loved that line from the trailer. I'm also looking forward to fighting some Elites again.

So the USNC & Spartans lose Reach, how will that play out in a game? In the end, you can't win so what gives?

Maybe you have to fight through waves of Covenant to get to the evac point?

Was Master Chief involved at all in Reach? according to the books?

It would be great if somehow he shows up at the end...

Edit: I just checked this: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/John-117 , the answer is yes.

Is Reach a FPS like Halo 3 and ODST or is it different?

FPS like Halo 3 and ODST. It's suppose to have better graphics though.

Look's like the game is this month's GI cover story. Bonemonkey @ CAG uploaded some scans of the article and you can check em out here.

His links are dead for me.

All pics from that CAG thread. Spoilerized for size.

I read that this is going to be the last Halo game. That can't be true, can it? I can't imagine Microsoft killing off their cash cow when they could still milk it for several more games.
