Welcome to Reach.
Bungie unveiled the Halo: Reach teaser trailer at the VGAs last night. Above, you’ll see the YouTube version from Bungie’s channel (with HD turned on).
As you can see, there are multiple Spartans, female Spartans (with a prosthetic/bionic arm) and Elites with swords.
None of this reveals anything major in the plot though. It looks like there may be Spartans with dedicated skill sets. None of these Spartans appear to be any of the ones we’re familiar with (e.g., Linda, Kelly, etc. from The Fall of Reach).
Here’s some quick screen caps from the short trailer that identifies these new Spartans:
"Lone Wolf" (appears to be the main character) - He's a Lieutenant and new to the team.
Carter - Spartan 259 ("Commander" according to Kat)
Kat - Spartan 320
Jorge - Spartan 052
Sniper Spartan
Skull Spartan - Clearly, he likes grenades...
There doesn’t appear to be any identification on the Skull Spartan – other than the skull face, of course.
Of course, the fate of Reach is already known; however, there are many battles fought and many stories to tell along the way. As an admitted Halo junkie, I’m stoked about the game. While we get multi-player beta in 2010, I’m really looking forward to the story in the campaign. And, I’m glad to be back in the saddle fighting against the Covenant again (including Elites).
