Halo: Reach "The Battle Begins" trailer utterly dissected


Above: Guess we know now why it’s called Halo: Reach amiright? [gong sound]


Above: The lower resolution and unsteady flying seems to indicate that this is gameplay. What’s more, it’s not the only flying level we’re getting


Above: What do you say to a Sangheili officer this pissed at you?


Above: A Spartan feebly fires his pistol at a Covenant Dropship. Hey, it worked in Saving Private Ryan


Above: What does it mean when a bunch of highly trained special forces operatives are all firing in the same direction? Scary shit is coming from that direction, that’s what


Above: A lone Spartan, armed with naught but a pistol, observes a trio of cruisers hovering above a ruined city


Above: A lone Spartan’s ass. Oh, and some dog tags


Above: Judging by the ruined buildings, raging fires, and a squad at half-strength, it doesn’t look like the battle is going too well

Above: At least the Navy’s not going to give up Reach without a fight. The Savannah’s battle group looks ready for one

Above: Our intrepid hero, just a few yards from an escape pod, observes a planetary bombardment. Is this the doomed fate of our noble Spartan?


Above: Guess we’ll have to see

Did we miss something? Misidentify a vessel or a character? Bet you’ll tell us in the comments.
