It all started with a message over at Bungie about “a new MP bomb.” Quick-thinkers connected the dots and realized that a new multiplayer announcement of sorts would be released. After much waiting and anticipation, the video of what Halo: Reach will look like on the harsh online playing-fields is now out for all to see.

At first glance, it doesn’t look all that different from Halo 3. Upon closer inspection, however, the gameplay looks a lot smoother and the animation has been amped-up. Oh, and I think the jet-packs may bring in an interesting battle dynamic.
