Halo: Reach Discussion

They said it would be a part of the game's opening cutscene; I take that to mean it will be the first official look at the game's engine, as well, similar to how they showed off the first little bit of ODST at E3, except without gameplay footage.

Odd, this seems very un-Bungie-like to give us an opening cutscene right from the get-go, I would have expected some viral marketing like "Prepare to Drop".

Yeah but the last viral marketing didn't go so well with everyone insisting odst was more expansion than full game.
If their going to show the first cutscene then they must be betting all their cards on this one scene.
In which case im expecting something we have not seen before in Halo.
Possibly the pre mission prep on autumn with the other spartans now that would interest me quite alot.

Everyone insisted that ODST was an expansion because it was damn close to what Bungie said. They then decided to actually make it in to a full game.

But they still ignored the fact it came with every released mappack as well as stock, a beta key to halo reach as well as firefight mode which wasnt even mentioned untill E3.
Truth is people were so determined to consider it as an expansion they felt let down because it wasn't a "full blown" game it had just as much as left4dead in all honesty.

The main thing is was really lacking, which was where the rushed timeframe really showed the most, was artistic variety. Every single mission, every single map, every single fucking city sector was the SAME GOD DAMN THING. I'd like to be able to Firefight in places other than New Mombasa, for example an Ark type desert area, or a jungle, a swamp, something. ODST map pack is pretty sorely needed.

Firefight on the halo control room would be pretty nice, im sure theyl add something simular with reach.

List of features absolutely REQUIRED in Reach:
Firefight
Forge
Theater

If any one of those goes missing, fans will bitch and Bungie KNOWS it.

The park and the highway were pretty different.

Because the BR55 wasn't a rape machine...trade one overpowered gun for another.
