For the last time it wasn't a trailer!
It's part of the opening cinematic from the game, running in real time. It's not a trailer at all.
afaik, the story goes a little like this:
during the glassing of reach, the spartan 3's have been sent in to determine if there are any survivors on the ground, including Spartans. They're also there searching for remnants of tech development on reach and data that might be available and finally what the covenant are looking for on reach.
But lets say it's close.
throw in a hud
throw in a weapon model
throw in some gunfire and explosions
throw in some enemies
throw in some vehicles
throw in all the other stuff halo games have had in the past.
What you see is an empty boring scene compared to what it will eventually look like, and bungie still has a year to add finishing touches.
also, for those calling the first halo 3 release BS too?
this was the alp...
some people i guess will never be impressed because it looks like cg to everyone else.

(look under his arm, more artifacting, how is this not real-time?)

there's artifacting on the wing when it moves in for the shot of the spartan filling the sniper mag (00:53 you can see the effect crawl along the wing), and also on the far left light as they exit out the trailer (01:27 far left yellow light).
On the far side of his leg (00:15 far left of screen) there's some strange texture pulling, it looks as if the models are being either tessellated or they're heavily parallax map.
all of which would be edited out for a pre-rend...
Lets assume those aren't the in-game real-time graphics, but lets assume they're close.
Now throw in a hud, a weapon weapon model, some enemies, gunfire, explosions and a more dense scenes (bodies, guns, ammo, maybe a more varied enviroment) maybe with a warthog or mongoose zipping around (kicking up dirt) and some dog fights in the sky (ala halo 3), add some motion blur, post processing etc.
What I'm saying is that this looks shallow because the scenes are empty, a...
according to Geoff Keighley's twitter it was all real-time, just a straight cinematic from the opening of the game.
Noble 6 = 6 members, it only makes sense.
It'd be interesting to see it pull a bit of a gears of war and allow for teams to diverge on missions in groups of 3.

hd trailer is up.
when it rains it pours.
they didn't even show anything at the vga's.
It seems like a lot of angry ps3 fans because they have nothing to talk about right now except xbox and multiplatform games.
A completely new studio, taking on one of the most beloved comic book franchises and pulling off a game like batman:AA is amazing.
Rocksteady did a fantastic job.
since sony showed absolutely nothing =/
even for a scene with nothing in it, throw in a hud, some nice weapon models, enemies and gunfire you're looking at something even better then what they've shown.
Because yes, I do wanna blow !@$##$ with you.
PGRtv, halo 3 theater?
that's cool, I'd love for that type of funcionality to span across multiple games, it'd make for some great user-created movies and guides.
I think MS is working on something similar as per this patent:

sounds familiar.
The ps3 was to overshadow the 360 and the wii from day 1. There's no excuses anymore. The Playstation brand just isn't the same as it was with the ps2 and ps1 era's, let it go and just enjoy the games.

He said that halo reach was going to be the biggest game next year.
My guess is some form of an acquisition or possibly new hardware, wii hd? new console?
with all the dark places in killzone 2 where you can't see any of the textures it looks a lot like odst.
Reach is a big step up though, hopefully GG will takes some notes and they can produce a game of equal visuals.
