It appears as though with Halo: Reach’s newest “documentary”, the guys over at Bungie are trying their hand at reinventing the Halo franchise, yet maintaining the sense of grandeur players felt when first stepping foot in Combat Evolved’s expansive universe.
Phrases like, ‘millions of more polygons’, ‘millions of more particle effects’, ‘new and different’, and “we’re rebuilding everything from the ground up”, have been tossed around, giving viewers such as myself, the sense that Bungie must feel paranoid to be seen as the old, outdated Halo that was later succeeded by the Call of Dutys of the world. By this video alone, it’s clear that Bungie are doing their damnedest to dispel such a stigma.
Whatever the future holds in store for Halo: Reach, mixed reception, or even a multiplayer plagued by glitches (which is admittedly very unlikely given Bungie’s track record), one thing’s for certain, they’re going to hit it out of the park.
