Rumor: Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Likely in 2011

[Nifty]

Surely even a rabid Halo fan boy can see this is a horrendous idea? If it's still popular because its story and gameplay allegedly still hold up then it doesn't need an update, graphical or otherwise. Such a shameless cash in, I'll loathe any one stupid enough to buy it.

This should also be remade for the PC. I doubt it will be though...

I'm gonna go ahead and say what everyone thinks LAME.

Yep. This isn't exactly a good thing. I'm sure fanboys and girls will scoop it up, afterall that is the only people they can target with this type of thing.

This is one of those times that I think gamers really need to make a stand and speak with their wallets.

When the revolution starts, you have my bow.

And my Axe.

AND MY VUVUZELA


OT- I love Halo to death but I'd rather a Marathon remake

...they just can't let this series die, can they?

 

[Thedayrecker]

What's going to be different?

Halo: CE was the only good one (at least story-wise), and I have a feeling any change is going to be for the worse.

In Yathzees word. Beat the dead horse with a bat, the spastic movements will at least give some sence of activity.

Sheez.. I thought we were done with this franchise to get something better going.

Yea, however in this case it is Bungie selling the dead horse to Microsoft and Microsoft beating the dead horse with a bat while Bungie goes off to do something better (hopefully).

 

[Don't taze me bro]

I haven't enjoyed a Halo single player campaign since Halo:CE, and I haven't enjoyed multiplayer since Halo2. This could be a good thing, if pulled off correctly.

please dont fuck it up please dont fuck it up please dont fuck it up please dont fuck it up please dont fuck it up please dont fuck it up please dont fuck it up please dont fuck it up...

I'm sorry but if a remake of the original is in the works they already have fucked it up!

The original Halo was a good game but I can BARELY remember anything about it other than the Flood.. and that's simply because it was like the game suddenly wanted to become a horror title out of no where. Not to mention anyone I personally ever hear mention Halo has EVER brought up anything other than the multiplayer..

The environments were huge and had potential but they were so dreary and boring.. at points the game literally had the ability to put me to sleep because of it. In fact.. if a true remake is really being made I think it'll show those who enjoyed the first how truly not amazing it was.

Here is my idea of what's going to go down if all is true. Halo will be remade with updated graphics.. perhaps a new weapon or two and a level to expand on it.. but I will just simply die of laughter if they take the Call of Duty route. And by that I mean a campaign that is utterly devoid of fun and just a bore but sprinkled with these high impact moments just to wake the player up.

Just imagine Master Chief having to zip line down the side of a Covenant ship and burst through the shield, somehow, as the slow motion kicks in.. epic.. not.

 

[Skops]

unbloody likely. ESPECIALLY at 1080p. MGS4 remains as the only true 1080p game on the market and forseeable future. everything else has just been upscaled.

 

[Super Toast]

Hell, I'd play it. If it comes out on the PC at least.

 

[jaketheripper]

so... instead of a new timesplitters... there remaking something thats already been remade? if i wanna play halo(LOL) ill just play one of the newer ones... there still the same thing...

 

[BehattedWanderer]

So much for Halo ending with a noble death.

Wow, that's gotta be a punch in the balls for the team at Bungie, huh? A decade to the day, and a different company says they'll make it better.

 

[Zayren]

this could be cool but what about equipment or armor abilities?? Will they be in this game??

God I hope not.

Armor Lock is literally the worst idea anyone has ever had. It's pretty much the Buzz Killington of online multiplayer.

 

[Azaraxzealot]

as long as they keep the assault rifle with the 60 bullets and give all the guns their original ammo capacity back...
nope. i still dont see it happening. i like the old one for what it already is. and adding more polygons is not going to make that moment when you're about to be wasted by your friend spraying bullets at you and you happen to stick him with a plasma and run away cackling any sweeter.

and adding online play will only serve to make the experience even LESS enjoyable since there's none of those moments with your friends right next to you

oh well. i'm not mad about it, i just won't buy it.

what i WOULD buy, though, is an updated CONSOLE version of Halo 1 with Firefight added

 

[Brian Hendershot]

What makes Halo 1 so good in my memory are probably all the things that would be removed if it was remade. (Super Bounce, Invincible warthogs, the music, the initial horror of encountering the flood, ect.)

No remake of the game will ever be better then the first time I saw the Admiral as a flood carrier..

Plus this game is coming out right beside Skryim and Mass Effect 3. And I plan on locking my door, quitting my job, and failing class when those two games come out.

 

[Brian Hendershot]

Oh, c'mon! The first Halo game was excellent! Granted, after Halo 1 the whole thing dissolved into crap. Geez, it's barely been ten years since this whole mess started!

I'm gonna go ahead and say what everyone thinks LAME.

Yep. This isn't exactly a good thing. I'm sure fanboys and girls will scoop it up, afterall that is the only people they can target with this type of thing.

This is one of those times that I think gamers really need to make a stand and speak with their wallets.

When the revolution starts, you have my bow.

And my axe!

And my sword!

 

[[zonking great]]

I loved part one. Loved part 2, until the ending.
"Finish the fight". What? It's still going on! Stupid Master Chief...
