Reach Does Epic and Teases Space Combat

Bungie’s Marcus Leto took the stage at Microsoft’s E3 briefing to show off the world premiere of Halo: Reach’s unseen campaign. The clip shows Noble Team pushing on through a beach as Covenant Pods fall from the sky and attack – all looking very epic in terms of scale, even by Halo’s standards. Announcement and video after the break!

It’s hard to keep your eye on what’s in front of you though, when set pieces are being triggered off at every other second you can’t help but glance (not that I’m complaining). My one huge gripe was not seeing much variety in the demo regarding the “openness” of enemy encounters, still – Ghost-splitting, space combat and unseen executions helped wet my appetite for later this fall.

Halo: Reach drops September 14. More footage to come!
