I'm not a Halo nut so not especially excited. I do have ODST however so look forward to trying the beta to see what the fuss is about

[The Preacher]

It just looks to me a bit like Halo meets Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Squad-based shooting, set in the Halo universe. I don't see how that's anything much to get excited about, but then again, I've been underwhelmed by all the hype and hyperbole tossed about about all of the Halo games. They're all a bit shit, when you hold them up against a PC shooter from the same period in time. The only Halo game I've kind of liked was Halo Wars, and even that is utterly simplistic compared to other examples of the RTS genre.

But pc shooters (except half life) don't have the same level of awsomeness to them, or warthogs, or the chief and most don't have any love to them.

Let the milking commence.

Huh? Why does that controller look all cracked?

[Sonic Alpha]

They've just announced a special edition 360 Bundle too. Shiny new 360 S, and a copy of Reach. Not sure if it has any fancy designs like the Halo 3 360 though :/

Update: Oh, it does. Same fancy paint job as the controller above. Also comes with 2 of those controllers.

Headset as well:

Those designs are still better than the Halo 3 ones. The Halo 3 360 & headset made me want to vomit... :/
