First Halo Reach Screenshots, Details Leak?
by Chris Faylor, Nov 05, 2009 12:52pm PSTUpdate: A scribble-free set of the Halo Reach shots have been uncovered by NeoGAF, with indications that MLG Forums poster ToM MoReLLo was not the original source, but rather obtained the pictures from someone else and claimed them as his own.
It is unclear as to whether MoReLLo fabricated the rumored details or was repeating information passed along by the initial source. The updated pictures are below.
Original: While Bungie has remained mum on Halo Reach, it seems that someone out there in cyberland has spilled the beans, as images and details have cropped up.
It all started when MLG Forums poster ToM MoReLLo claimed to have played Halo Reach at Microsoft and offered blurry pictures and gameplay details as proof--a feat quickly noticed and made popular by NeoGAF posters Dani and Tashi0106.
It appears that Reach will feature squad-based combat and the addition of perks, assuming MoReLLo is to be believed. Three example perks were given: sprinting, a radar-jamming cloak, and a hologram used to confuse or distract enemies.
However, the shots also indicate that Mr. MoReLLo was only able to play single-player, so the extent of the changes made to multiplayer are unknown.
More details and clearer images are expected as Bungie's Xbox 360 prequel nears its expected 2010 release, with those that own Halo 3: ODST getting beta access.

I will look past the fact that the book was written for the level of thirteen year old boys, and included lines like "The Master Chief wondered if having to sacrifice his people on the planet for the greater good was what his first military instructor meant when he said 'Sometimes, you will have to sacrifice your people for the greater good.' But the Master Chief had no time to wonder about it. The Master Chief filed the thought away in the Master Chief's mind so the Master Chief could consider it later. Right now, the Master Chief had to fight..."
Instead I will note that the book had about ten minutes of combat taking place on and around Reach after two hundred pages of exposition, and had the Spartans split up into two groups, where the Master Chief was with two other Spartans for the entire battle before the inevitable end where every other Spartan was killed and the Chief ended up at Halo.
If it is based on the book, it should prove the shortest Halo game yet considering the ten minutes of actual combat, and can only end with everyone but the Chief dying.

But more of the same Halo? I'm getting kinda sick of the engine, "floatiness" and Covenant.
What would really be cool is playing a Halo game from Covenant perspective. No, not the lame Halo 2 version. More like a whole game dedicated to formation of Covenant and first contact with Humans.
I'd play that.

While spile is a word, I don't think "spiled" is.
