Halo Reach trailer

I have to say, I've never been a Halo fan. The universe never really meshed well for me, and the combination of a huge backstory and a focus on multiplayer meant I never really tried to get into it. But I have to hand it to Bungie, this trailer is just stunning. This is the most effort I've ever seen put into a trailer for anything, and it really pays off. I'd love it if some more developers put this kind of effort in - it helps make games more approachable for non-gamers, while giving us gamers some eye candy. From what I've heard there have been live action promos for Red Dead Redemption and Assassin's Creed II, so I'll see if I can dig those out, but keep it up Bungie, keep it up.
