- angrytortilla, on 11/05/2009, -5/+66I'm a huge fan of the "watermarks."
- alsazen, on 11/06/2009, -3/+57Although it is a later post, the images are clearer and 'watermark' free on this one:

Please realize this, Halo: Reach is in Beta, not public Beta, but real development Beta. Those textures, lighting, UI placement, and etc. are all in early development and will change by the time it ships. This game is far from done. And just encase anyone mentions it, Halo: Reach is NOT using the Halo 3 engine, but a brand new engine made specifically for the game. - MaxxusFlamus, on 11/06/2009, -2/+27looks fairly legit.
And just by looking at the weapons, it's fairly obvious this is a new engine altogether. Backgrounds look more complex.
I wants more. - Ramenamen, on 11/06/2009, -4/+27403 Forbidden.
- radzack, on 11/06/2009, -6/+27Very excited for this game.
- SuicideMouse, on 11/06/2009, -0/+20Because who ever took the pictures, was not allowed to.
- DjOverEZ, on 11/06/2009, -3/+20Apparently Tom Morello is raging against NDAs.
- MetalHead73, on 11/06/2009, -2/+18Someone knows nothing about Bungie.
You really think Bungie needs to "leak" photos to ramp up anticipation?
No, they don't. - radzack, on 11/06/2009, -5/+21my apologies for posting a non-snarky comment.
- BugMeNot2, on 11/06/2009, -0/+15No. Microsoft created a new studio called "343 Industries" a couple months ago dedicated entirely to making Halo-related products.
- mattyboy555, on 11/06/2009, -2/+16I don't know why that ***** watermark is there. It's not like this Tom Morolla originally found them. They were found on IGN before kokugamer
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/104/1042777p1.html - Dustmuffins, on 11/06/2009, -0/+14Halo 3 was supposed to be the last game in the story arc, and it was.
- zeazzz, on 11/06/2009, -8/+22I've always said that the BEST watermarks come from MS Paint...but no one has ever believed me!...until now...
- KotoOni, on 11/06/2009, -0/+12Clearly the work of a professional.
- Repeater2000, on 11/06/2009, -1/+12That one shot of the castle looking thing proves it's a new engine. No more twice rendering of a scene which in turn limits the polygon count. The insane lighting engine of Halo 3 really limited the polygon count as well as the resolution since each moment was essetially rendered twice on the fly.
- DocOctavius, on 11/06/2009, -0/+11You obviously never really played Halo. I will admit there were a few levels that reused geometry, but never was one battle the same even in the same places. What did you play it on easy or something?
- DocOctavius, on 11/06/2009, -2/+11And no dual wielding, you get hurt when you drop, you're slower, you can't jump as high, your damage is worse when you get shot... it's way different dude. Would you suggest changing it so much that it's not fun anymore?
- TheMeatball, on 11/06/2009, -0/+9"Turn off your space-age infrared HUD boys, I found a torch!"
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 11/06/2009, -7/+15"Possibly the last Halo game."
Yeah, right, that will happen.
Wasn't Halo 3 speculated to be the last Halo game at one point?
I highly doubt they'll stop making these games until they've milked the franchise for all it's worth. - relaxeder, on 11/06/2009, -5/+13The needler carbine looks just like something I thought up for a Halo weapon once. I'm not taking credit for anything, I just think its cool it turned out like that if its real. The screenshots seem legit to me.
- Repeater2000, on 11/06/2009, -1/+9Oh really?
The way the lighting engine worked was each scene was rendered twice in realtime. When you entered and exited the indoors to outdoors and vice versa the scenes would switch form one renderer to another. That is why the transitions from indoors to outdoors looked so nice, you would get a great almost blinding hdr effect.
Utterly useless, sure it looked nice but at a tremendous resources cost. - Ghostalker, on 11/06/2009, -4/+11I really hope they follow the book for this game. It'll be dark, deep, and bloody.
- DocOctavius, on 11/06/2009, -0/+7I didn't say it was just like CE, but there are a few things that make it more like CE and make it more fun for those of us who played it a lot back in the day.
Also, the things you listed are gameplay necessities... if it was a pure simulation it wouldn't be any fun at all, and the guns are different, they're balanced and have different characteristics which change up the gameplay. One melee to kill a brute with no shield? Maybe on easy or normal, real players go Heroic or higher. ;)
Maybe the hammer is not that heavy, it IS an alien device called a Gravity Hammer, maybe it's super-light but makes a force explosion instead of just being a big-ass tackhammer. Seems like it, right? - danwallace, on 11/06/2009, -0/+6Why wouldn't they? If there's a demand for a product, create the ***** product.
- Mayday408, on 11/06/2009, -1/+6Below is a transcript of what happened.
HEY GUYS. I PLAY VIDEO GAMES ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL. I WAS INVITED BY BUNGIE TO TRY THE NEW HALO REACH. WITHOUT THEM KNOWING, I TOOK PICTURES OF THE GAME THAT ISN'T EVEN IN ALPHA YET. I ALSO WRITTEN UP A FULL REPORT ON EACH LEVEL I PLAYED. OH YEAH, IT WAS *ME* WHO DID IT. HERE IS MY FULL NAME AND GAMER NAME.
WAIT WHAT? WHAT THE *****? BUNGIE?!?!?!? WHY ARE YOU SUING ME INTO OBLIVION!!?!? THIS IS INCONCEIVABLE!
What a ***** IDIOT. Attention whore kid just couldn't leak them without the glory. Enjoy bankruptcy - DarthVolta, on 11/06/2009, -0/+5He's right.
I remember playing the Halo 3 Public Beta, and the final game was considerably more polished than that even. - Megadeth222, on 11/06/2009, -1/+6I liked Tom Morello better in Rage Against the Machine tho...
- dronkmunk, on 11/06/2009, -0/+5Sure, it did.
- lesbianlasergun, on 11/06/2009, -2/+7hahahahahah
- Tiptup300, on 11/06/2009, -0/+5yeah, h3 = last game in that arc of the universe.
- dalectrics, on 11/06/2009, -0/+4Looks like MC has health packs again then.
- Dregganaut, on 11/06/2009, -0/+4OK, you do know what you're talking about. Apologies
- GTRagnarok, on 11/06/2009, -1/+5Why are they all so blurry? I'm no professional photographer, but I can a hold a camera (be it a digital camera or a phone) still with no effort. Reminds me of every UFO and Bigfoot picture.....
- tehknotte, on 11/06/2009, -4/+8Why last Halo game?
- DocOctavius, on 11/06/2009, -0/+4To clarify, Bungie had said Halo 3 was the last in the story arc focusing on the Master Chief, NOT that it would be the last Halo game, NOT that it would be the last game with the Master Chief in it, just that it was the last in the 3 part story arc of the series.
Reach is going to be a prequel, and will undoubtedly focus on other Spartans and Marines, as there were many before Reach (it's a planet) was glassed (burned basically) by the Covenant way back before we found Halo.... which makes me wonder why there's the word Halo in the name still? They should have come up with a new concept for the title to differentiate from the original series... obviously name recognition is a huge factor but it would have been interesting if it were named something else...
So Bungie isn't breaking any promises or going back on anything they said, and yes, I am huge fan, but not a boy anymore so don't call me a fanboy ok? thx - PolarBearFire, on 11/06/2009, -3/+7It's 2009, doesn't anyone have a halfway decent camera?
- DocOctavius, on 11/06/2009, -0/+3yeah, you don't need a flashlight with night-vision dude.
- thizzlebot, on 11/06/2009, -1/+4I guess thats the Noob-Block Plus working.
- danwallace, on 11/06/2009, -0/+3Wait... the needler wasn't in Halo 1?
- clive88hale, on 11/06/2009, -0/+3cooooool :D
- Charlotte_Web, on 11/06/2009, -3/+6Sounds like they're just getting started milking the franchise.
- adokimus, on 11/15/2009, -0/+3encase ≠ in case
- DocOctavius, on 11/06/2009, -1/+4Keep in mind this is at least 6 months from release, probably more like a year. It will look way better than Halo 3 when it's released. Hell, ODST looked better than Halo 3 using the same engine...
- vicsvenge, on 11/06/2009, -4/+7omg new engine. thank god. halo 3 looked dated.
wow am i a jaded gamer or what? - spinky342, on 11/06/2009, -1/+4Actually I think that if ODST was played online and it wasn't just the original Halo 3 that the game would have been much better. With the scoped SMG you would have died a lot less from a bunch of idiots using only the assault rifle.
- mntnbkr7, on 11/06/2009, -0/+2The weapon in the 5th picture looks like one of the weapons pictured on the junk scraps of paper in ODST.
- Tiptup300, on 11/06/2009, -5/+7Duh ***** you talkin bout?
There's like 5 halo games in the past 4 years and each one was fantastic. (Although I'm not sure about Halo Wars) - pmonay, on 11/06/2009, -1/+3what could very well be Bungie’s last Halo game, Halo: Reach - did we not here that for halo 3? still excited either way
- jdizzle88, on 11/06/2009, -0/+2Soo stoked although I remember Bungie said Halo 3 would be the last "master chief" title. Guess they aren't sticking to it but I'm glad they aren't if this is real.
