Wrong.
"Its" is the possessive adjective.
"It's" is always a contraction.

Seriously, I hope those are some alpha builds of the environments they're showing. Some of it looks so muddy that it looks like it hasn't had a chance to fully render.

I think it's funny that birdizzle87 keeps harpin on the graphics. Halo has never been known for it's stunning detail, and everyone who plays it knows this. He will eventually go back to Call of Duty and leave everyone alone. I mean he can't comment on here while Activision has him by the balls with one and and raping his wallet with the other.
Halo is looking good, I wasn't excited for it untill recenty, can't wait to get my reach xbox :3

Then again, Halo has never been known for being ugly, either. I have always liked the graphics of the series, seeing as how they are generally more colorful than the drab color palette that is so popular in games these days (especially shooters i.e. Call of Duty).
Anyway, cannot wait for Reach. I am just glad that Bungie is apparently trying to go out with a bang. As far as I'm concerned, this may very well be the last game I buy from them. Who knows if they still have a shot at making a good game that isn't Halo? And yes, I played Myth and ONI and all that jazz...twas so long ago.

@Wormious You can make friends while playing online. I became friends with most of the people on my friend list during Halo games. Then to mix things up, we would play other games, too, like MW2, BFBC2, etc. Regardless of people's complaints about some online players being jerks/racists/etc. or complaints about XBL costing money, I think XBL is a great feature that lets you play with other people when you don't want to play by yourself.

If it works like H3's lobby, (which it likely will only better) you'll be able to stick with people you end up in games with if you want. IE - you join a random team game & you're team ends up getting along, you can choose to remain a group after the match.
It makes it really easy to meet like minded players & play several games with them without forcing everyone to send out friend requests right away. Then you can decide later if you want to add them to your friend list. If you do... BAM you have more friends to play with :) next step profit.

Im really getting tired of hearing about graphics this, textures that when in all its simplicity halo is more about the epic action and gameplay. Does call of duty have stunning visuals? yes. Is it open world? NO. Does it offer a variety of gameplay? NO. Does it offer vehicular based combat? NO. Does it offer customizable multiplayer? NO. Does call of duty offer realism? NO. Does call of duty offer dsestructible environments? NO. Call of duty is what it is, and no doubt it is a great experience but offers ZERO comparison to anything other than other call of duty games. Hell even battlefield bc2 has stunning visuals, realism AND destructible environments. If you're going to comment on graphics alone then you clearly have not been a gamer for very long. Graphics should never be the standard by which a game is judged. Halo has an art style of bright colors and vast landscapes. Neither of which you'll find in many games. Its time for some of us "gamers" to pull our proverbial heads out of the sand and broaden our experiences.
