Halo: Reach

Also, guys Sierra != Spartan, although it is likely it is.

Halo 3 live action trailer the troops reffered to the masterchief as sierra 117, so yes. sierra != spartan.

With the release of Halo 3: ODST only a short time away, that has where most of the series' focus seems to have been recently. However, E3 saw the announcement of another Halo title from Bungie, subtitled "Reach." And according to the studio's Community Manager, Brian Jarrard, it could very well be their biggest game to date.

"Reach is going to be a tough project for us to wrap just because the scope is really big -- it's up there," he told G4TV.com. "It'll probably be our biggest game ever just in terms of the amount of people working on it and the expectations for it. I mean, it's a big deal for us."

G4TV.com's Patrick Klepek notes that they were under the impression that it would be a smaller spin-off not unlike ODST, but are now convinced by Jarrard's words that nothing could be further from the truth, "much bigger than I'd ever imagined."

"I know just for at least the next year our hardcore focus is going to be on getting Reach done and awesome and hopefully getting people excited about it," Jarrard said.

It is noted that while, as the title implies, ODST is built upon the Halo 3 engine, Reach is going to be a from-the-ground-up new experience, representing a major step forward in engine technology and a complete reinvention.

"Reach will be a full three-year cycle -- it's got all-new tech, akin to the change from Halo 2 to Halo 3," Jarrard said.

More of the interview with Jarrard from the Penny Arcade Expo can be found here, and it covers ODST, Reach, what might come after Reach, and Halo in general.

The part about how there going to use all-new tech for this game really intrigues me. Hopefully this game will actually be 720p or higher.

According to various online sources, Microsoft has revealed that they will be showing a trailer for Halo Reach (unsure as to whether it'll be the same as E3 or a new trailer with *gasp* in-engine footage) at this years TGS (Tokyo Game Show). For those that don't know, TGS is taking place NEXT WEEK (Sept. 24th I think).

Would that be on G4?

So are they going to stick to canon and actually bring everything back from Halo 1 on a new engine with the Reach story or are they just going to fuck everything and now suddenly the Covies and Humans have all new shit (again) and the MC has another new set of armor?

Reach means Mk. V armour...they will graphically overhaul it, but it will be Mk. V. The MJOLNIR Mk. VI was really created as an excuse to change the way the Chief looked and how the game mechanics played out, as stated by Bungie.
