Is this Halo: Reach?
BY Rain Anderson Nov. 5th, 2009 More on:

A number of images of what are presumed to be some off-screen shots of Halo: Reach have surfaced. If real, which we’re guessing they are since Bungie is reportedly using the ban hammer quite freely for even mentioning these shots on the official forums, the shots are giving a first glimpse into a few locations and weapons of Bungie’s next.

It’s hard to tell much from these blurry shots but the weapon models certainly seem to look quite a bit better than they do in Halo 3. Considering Bungie has said that Reach runs on “all new tech” and that the visual bump will be “akin to the change from Halo 2 to Halo 3,” we’d expect nothing less.

      Woah, the Spartan Laser looks frickin’ detailed! And is that a Covenant equivalent below..? Maybe a bit too similar, different races after all.

      the rocks on the second shot have shitty stretched textures…

      early days spose.

      and when you say new tech, is that referring to a new engine or hardware?

      i haven’t followed reach really.

      It’s still 360-bound next fall, just a new game engine.

      There’s no need for insults. The mountain textures in the second shot indeed seem to be of low quality and stretched, probably because they’re just placeholders. Bungie’s far from done with the game.
