E3: Halo Anniversary
- Thread starter Susan Arendt

Ugh...I don't think I like that it's just a new coat of paint over the old thing. I mean, by now Halo is pretty darn easy. And the level design is, well, from 10 years ago. Don't get me wrong, it was amazing back then, but on this day and age that's just kind of a waste. Especially when you can do so much more. Think about it, if the AI is the exact same thing, the Hunters will look now fearsome but they'll still go down if you sidestep around them and shoot at their backs with a pistol once, and pretty much everything else, except for the flood, will still go down fast when using the noob combo (covvie plasma pistol-human pistol).
Also, 1 firefight map? What's the deal with that? It's not like I'm asking for more, it's that I just don't get it. Is it large and configurable, or what? I'd like to know more about this.
I'd have taken a reworked AI and the game still looking just like it did 10 years ago.

That is the coolest thing ever!
Halo original with online multilayer. I have been weighting 9 years for this.

Just as question I assume this will mean no dual wielding or no new weapons. I thought when I heard about dual engines we would have the option to use the new stuff.
You know, I'm excited for this and all, but I have to say, I may prefer the original look anyway. Sure, the graphics are objectively crap, but they have this certain . . . quality about them that makes them timeless.
All this and it's not even Bungie making it.Andronicus said:
I haven't, I played online on my PC copy of Halo. "Combat Evolved" was more or less replaced by "Lagging Evolved" it was bad.TimeComando said:
Why remake the game completely? I mean, keeping all the the same AI, levels and glitches while only changing the graphics seems more like cashing in than celebrating the anniversary. (I'll revoke this if the price is about $20-30 AUD)
Besides, 10 years after, if someone wanted it, they would have it.

Is Halo really that sacred that they won't change anything? Let the fans whine their little rotor-blades off, if something was broken in the first one then they might as well fix it, if only to justify a HD re-make of a game that had good enough graphics to begin with.
so...it really is nothing but a graphical overhaul.
i have shit in my fridge older than halo:CE. in fact, i have halo:CE (not in my fridge though).
if i want to play to play the exact same game i already have....just, why?! are graphics so important to you people that you need to revamp a game every 10 years to be able to play it again? i will NEVER get over how they can release a remake of a game barely 1-generation old; this is just utter insanity, its the same exact game but with gratuitous bloom and people are going to buy it....
someone explain this to me

From what I understand, from the trailer, the multiplayer section will be part of Halo Reach's multiplayer suite as I saw both armour abilities and assassinations on the multiplayer shots. Hence, these seven maps are basically seven re-made maps for Halo Reach. They'll most likely put the re-made Halo CE campaign on one disc and bundle it with a separate multiplayer disc that contains both these re-made maps and all the previous Halo Reach multiplayer content, just like they did for Halo ODST.
They haven't made this explicit thus far but this is how I imagine things will turn out. And frankly, I'm quite happy to play these re-made maps in Halo Reach's multiplayer when it is a superior multiplayer experience to the original. This also means Microsoft isn't shooting themselves in the foot by putting out another completely separate online competitive halo multiplayer mode that would be vying with Reach's.

I entirely agree, I'm only going to get this if the multiplayer gets its shit together and if armour abilities get left out. Reach's multiplayer is a pile of vomit and the maps have no soul to them.StarStruckStrumpets said:
Besides if I wanted the single player experience, I modded the PC campaign a year or so ago: upped the textures and some of the models to make it feel like Halo 3, even threw in some Halo 3 weapons. Not sure if the 'compatible with Reach's online' buisness is rumor or not but if thats the way it is, im gonna bet the multiplayer will be an Armour Ability extravaganza.
