I'd like t say that this ISN'T a trailer, this is part of the opening cutscene (not the WHOLE opening but a part of it).
Also, Ardichoke, how can you even get that impression when this is in the pre-beta stage? At least wait until the actual beta is released next year before you reserve a final judgement.

He can do this because of the mediocrity of the other Halo games. Unless of course you're a broski because then it's second only to Modern Warfare.
Read the book 'Fall of Reach' and was unimpressed...then again, much of the space on my bookshelf is dedicated to the likes of Jordan, Pratchett, Goodkind, Card, Clarke, and Heinlein.
As for Halo as a game series, much of my enthusiasm for the project died when Bungie was picked up my M$ and the game converted into the Xbox's "sure thing" franchise. I still like the original, especially on PC (despite Gearbox not doing the greatest of jobs with it), but that's about where it ends for me. Halo2 and 3 were mediocre, at best, and my expectation is that this game will keep the tradition alive.
I'm stoked, I think it will be another decent game set in a great universe I really enjoy and it sounds like this really is the last Bungie Halo game for a while. Not being part of Microsoft hopefully they'll cash in on the freedom and go somewhere else. In the meantime, this is quite possibly the most interesting event in the Halo universe and I think it will make for a great game. Plus, it looks like we finally get anti-aliasing if the trailer is showing stuff right out of the engine.

People at work will want to play this. I need to assert my nerdy dominance over them in some way, and this is it.
