While we may have showed you the Halo: Reach debut in-engine trailer earlier today through the VGA trailer, Bungie’s released the trailer out to the public as well as the first in-game screenshot. Bungie has sure bested themselves in the visual department, especially if you take a look at the facial features of some characters; they’re much more impressive than they were in comparison to games like Halo 3: ODST.

The trailer introduces players to Noble Team, “a squad of battle-hardened Spartan soldiers.” According to the press release, “Halo: Reach charts the story of Noble Team in their heroic stand to defend the planet Reach, its people and secrets against a ruthless assault by an alien collective known as the Covenant.”

Halo: Reach launches exclusively on Xbox 360 in Fall 2010 with a beta beforehand in Spring 2010.

Check out the high-res version of the screen at the gallery. Trailer’s below.
