Microsoft's conference was great but I think the thing that I liked the most was the Halo 3: ODST presentation. They showed us the opening cut-scene and gameplay footage, and gave us more info on the game.
This Halo game will be a little different from past games because you will be playing as many different Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (sorry Master Chief Fans) via flashbacks to put together the pieces of the story. Luckily the ODSTs have access to special gear that Spartans don't such as 2 new sound suppressed weapons: one of which is a pistol with a zoom feature and a new visor, a low light vision mode. All in all I think this game is shaping up pretty nicely.
Now are you ready to hear even more news? Those who buy Halo 3:ODST will be invited to the multiplayer beta for Halo: Reach.
Update: Halo 3 ODST to include exclusive wireless Xbox 360 controller. It’s going to cost you $99 when Halo 3 ODST drops on September 22, but don’t worry that includes the game as well.
Update 2: There is a new Firefight Mode in ODST which is much like Horde mode in Gears of War 2 or Zombie mode in Call of Duty: World at War. You can have up to 4 players playing cooperatively (each taking one of the 4 ODST soldiers that are playable in Campaign). There are only a set number of lives that the entire team shares.
Update 3: "Preorder the game through select retailers and a fifth ODST soldier, Sgt. Johnson, will be added to the list of selectable characters." - IGN

You know my brother does the same thing and only compares the graphics of one game with another that is above it's time. Let me ask you a question. Do you like the original NES or SNES version(s) of Mario or Zelda? Did you know they only show in 8-bit or 16-bit color?! OMG! My point is that great games are not made by their graphics but by their awesome gameplay (Campaign & Multi-player) of which every Halo game has delivered. So please quit bashing down a game before you actually play it. Oh and by the way that video up there was filmed with a camera and is not the original one that I posted. Peza changed it because he likes to use GameTrailers.

Look I love halo, but i am not going to go for everything they dish out. I am not bashing the game itself, just one aspect of it and that is the graphics. I just think that by now halo should have more to offer than just great game play. I also have the original nes, but I only have 2 games for it, well three if you count Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt, and Super Mario 3.

Then I must apologize because it seemed like you were beating it down. Anyways the graphics are still good and that should be good enough.
