Halo Reach Beta trailer shows jet packs, assassinations [update]

Huh? What do you think you're doing? You're reading a post that has "shows jet packs" in the headline? When you know that there's a Halo Reach beta trailer (initially leaked by a Taiwanese site called GNN) ~~right after the break~~? We're just going to assume you've already watched it, because any other scenario speaks ill of your mental stability.

That said ... DUDE! Jet packs! Assassinations! Load outs! New modes! The only feature Bungie forgot to list that was also included in the trailer? Like 50 million boners. Why don't you start digging through the clip and let us know in the comments what else you can find?

Update: We've replaced the leaked video that was posted after the break with the now officially released trailer above and added one new piece of art in the gallery below. Good news: The trailer's still got jet packs!

Halo: Reach

50 Million boners is a pretty large understatement.

I think it'd be 50 million sticky keyboards.

Stay out of the computer lab today kids!

Jetpacks are great, but they are useless without a disc launcher....

Its like halo meets tribes... this might be amazing... and one of the guns looked liked and fired like a plasma pistol from the renegade mod in tribes... haha...

Needs more spinfusor

Surprised they don't just name the game Halo: Tribes

Played this game years ago when it was called "Tribes".

GAME OF THE FCKIN' YEAR

WOW! That was quite the trailer, Bungie really is going out with a bang for Halo.

Multiplayer Game of the YEAR!

No other game has the variety of Halo multiplayer. This is going to be awesome.

It should certainly be possible to analyze a user's voice pitch and automatically mute high-pitched ones from people that aren't already in your friends list. Would be an awesome feature to have if MS is up for implementing it.

It's looks so awesome. Halo 3 on steroids!

PUNCH TO THE F'KIN GUT!!!

SIGN ME UP FOR MP BETA NOW!!!

Jetpacks?! Blasphemy! Madness!

yes... "leaked"

Well now it's official: http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Reach_MPTrailer

thanks EGOvoruhk.

I downloaded the HD version from bungie. I noticed a few things on the first view.

#1 you can see your secondary weapon and the amount of ammo in the upper right
#2 there is a new needler rifle picked up at the 0:36 mark
#3 the radar now shows map identifiers

Here i was just having got changed and now i need to change again after this

I'm not even that into Halo multiplayer but even I think that's a cool trailer.

I'm with you on that Zal. I actually traded in my Halo 3 just over a month after getting it because, for whatever the reason that i can't quite put my finger on, the multiplayer didn't captivate me like every COD since 2, Rainbow Six Vegas (1), or the Splinter Cell series.

This video, however, makes it seem like they are opening the toy box. I think I might just give em another shot and come play.

not impressed if it is real for real

And what if it isn't real will you still be impressed for real because you were impressed for real because it wasn't real?

I'm really impressed with real reality's impressive realism.

Yeah I mean where's the Spartan dating sim?

A Spartan with a jet pack?
It only does everything..........but dating sims........

So what you're saying is that Halo should have Masterchief engage in dating sim type scenarios like Mass Effect?

I'd buy it.

down voted, thats ok
but now turn down your jet packs to come back to the ground :)

man......hooch is crazy

I'm just impressed it took Halo this long to fully ripoff tribes, or will it take them another game to finally implement player placeable turrets and defensive structures?

Tribes was the best free game ever!

@ Jason Stratham-

A handsome cyborg named Ace
Wooed women at every base
But once ladies glanced at his special enhancement.
They disappeared with nary a trace.

-Barracks graffiti
Sparta Command

I fail to see where the jetpack is considered central to Halo: Reach's gameplay in the video, which makes me wonder why some people here are comparing it to Tribes.

Some of the stuff here just looks insane!
I'm really glad Bungie seem to be having fun with their last Halo game, seems like a fantastic note to end on.

Damn, Halo's boring now but that trailer of the gameplay for reach looks fun.

Jetpacks. Nuff said

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS.

And it's coming out on my BIRTHDAY?! It's like magical gift from the UNIVERSE!

YOU LUCKY SOB :P

THIS IS AWESOME..... until the 13 year old kid starts yelling racist shit at me.

Hey, the more racist kids yelling shit in Halo, the less there are yelling racist shit in Modern Warfare. So, we can look forward to that, right? They can only spread themselves so thin.

Here's your solution:
A) Get some friends. These are those fleshy taking mounds that aren't on your TV
B) Start a party. Invite said fleshy meatbags.

Problem solved

Cap Morgan, what if all of his friends are racist 13 year old kids?

You still haven't figured out you can set you voice chat to "friends only" for ALL games? I have not heard an unfriendly squeaky voice since 2005.

I'd say it's time to be more selective with whom your friends are.

Besides what do I care. They're in a party with him. I can't hear them then.

Most my friends are douchebags and think they're too cool for video games. So I have to deal with it...

Make internet friends. Or join one of them thar mature gaming communities, which are awesome.

What are these gaming communities? I'm intrigued.

You mean there's Spartans with friggen jetpacks on friggen back!

All we need now is sharks with fricken laser beams attached to their fricken heads!

Soisoisoisoisoi.

That is all.

+1 for you good sir.

Well, off to preorder.
