Development
Halo: Reach has been in development since completion of Halo 3, in a full three year cycle, unlike the shorter time spent on Halo 3: ODST, and uses a new game engine created for the game, described by Brian Jarrard as; "Where will be a full three-year cycle, it's got all-new tech, akin to the change from Halo 2 to Halo 3, not like ODST, which is just built on top of the foundation."
