Halo: Reach Screens Escape Microsoft

hr-1

Thank you, clandestine cell phone cameras!  Because of you, we are able to see first hand secrets not meant to be viewed by mere mortal eyes.  In this case, Halo: Reach has been exposed thanks to an intrepid (read: extremely ballsy) Major League Gaming forum member who has seen and played the game first hand.  And although he may not be THE Tom Morello he sure raged against Microsoft’s NDA machine and escaped unscathed to spread the following screens on the web… with his name fantastically scrawled in  MS Paint all over them.

hr-2

Even though blurry, the screens show a much more three-dimensional (and almost sculptural) design to the weapons and vehicles.  In fact, there is an almost “Mass Effect” style to the game, especially in the buildings and scenery, creating a much more atmospheric and stylized look than previous entries in the series.  It’ll be interesting to see how Microsoft and Bungie react to the leak, if at all, considering ODST is their current bread and butter.
