Not really. I've yet to play a Halo game on my own, with my own money and I'll probably not start now. Just not interested, not a violent anti-fanboy hate as some have accused me of.
No, it really is just an added graphical layer. They have emphasized constantly in a ton of panels and videos that one of the main ways they're keeping the gameplay the same is by using Bungie's original engine.Kasurami said:
They've used Reach assets both as placeholders and, seemingly, as the base for some of the final models, but that's just assets, not engine.
(which is also why they don't have theatre for campaign; the Halo 1 code doesn't have a simple, easily manipulable and trackable command pipeline)
Not according to 343 industries.
EDIT:

I came into the Halo series with Halo 3 so this seems like a good chance to finally play the original all the way threw and get what amounts to an all new game for me for 40$.
Put me down for a yes.

Is there any difference to the original one? If not then i'm not buying it considering the it still runs perfectly on my win7 machine...except it tells me i don't have enough ram...i have 3gb and at the time i had 4gb...
even if i had an xbox every halo game has been a massive waste of time in my opinion. So no, i'm not getting it i'm not excited about it and this wanking off about how microsoft is rereleasing a game over a decade old to rake in a few dollars from the franchise that sent the shooter genre straight to hell is a little annoying.

Anniversary runs natively in either 640p or 720p on the Xbox 360 at 30fps (I'm not sure which resolution). Its underlying gameplay has been kept as identical to Halo 1's as possible, but it comes with an added modernized graphical layer by Sabre Interactive, and it uses remastered/rerecorded audio. When using the anniversary graphical layer (you can toggle between the old and new graphical layers; actually, you can do it in real time in-game), you can use skulls which are being added to the game, and there will be video terminals in the campaign which will tell some sort of story regarding 343 Guilty Spark. Anniversary also allows for online coop with 2 players.devotedsniper said:
Multiplayer is a Halo: Reach map pack including 6 remakes of classic maps and a firefight map based on the cliffside tower area of Halo 1.
If it comes out for PC, absolutely. Halo was my first FPS, and I'd love to get another go at it. Plus, we PC gamers never did see a release of 3 or Reach, and they were different enough from 2 to bother me looking at.
Even though I completed the game on the original Xbox, I do plan on grabbing the new remake. Can't wait to try the online component and see what kind of achievements the thing will have. It's not like the original had cheats after all so may as well indulge in some achievement whoring.
They WHAT.
Um, wha, so basically I thought that Microsoft had squeezed all the fan money out of the Halo franchise, but then they pull the inevitable reboot?! Not to dampen anyone's enthusiasm or anything, but I don't see this going anywhere good. Since when has a reboot gone swimmingly and turned out something truly great? I'm wondering if that has ever happened. It's just... I thought Halo was over. Like, over over, done.
I do miss Halo every once in a while, but if I had an Xbox I still probably wouldn't get it - or any of the sequels - because that's all ground well-trod. I have some great memories of Halo and Halo 2, and I remember so many good things about them at the time. I cannot now imagine going back and re-playing Halo 1 in retooled graphics. It seems like madness. It hasn't been that long since Halo debuted, but they're already trying to play the nostalgia card?

Nintendo do it all the time remakes and reboots.PrototypeC said:
I wont be getting it, I used to enjoy the multiplayer back in the day but always disliked the single player game (except in Halo 2).Loved that pistol though some serious stopping power and awesome accuracy.
If I ever wanted to replay Halo I will just play my original xbox game its only been 10 years for crying out loud wait another 5 then remake it.
Hmm... let me see.... HELL. YES. Its Halo CE with a full set of achievements, it gives us a good look at what to expect from 343, and its Halo. I have already preordered it, and it will make a fantastic day-after-my-birthday game. 
I'll be getting it. The added multiplayer modes will be a joy compared to the horrible disappointment that Reach's multiplayer was, and the Halo CE compaign was the best of the series imo.
It's not a reboot. At all. This is just the original CE with a new renderer and higher detail assets, and 343's upcoming Halo trilogy will act as in-universe sequels to Halo 3.PrototypeC said:
