I honestly find this extremely hard to believe. They're not going to re-release another version of Halo CE: Anniversary, and then put out both multiplayer for H2 and H3 -- that makes absolutely no sense.

Someone really gotta mention that it's a rumour in that thread title.
I think it is more about "We don't comment on rumors" as to avoid saying either yes or no, which sets a pattern and gives information. "No comment" can't be reliable interpreted in any way.

HD port of CE:A, H2:A Halo 3 at 1080p and Halo 4 at 1080p.
Doesn't seem crazy to me
The later Halos could be run at 60FPS too, no? Halo CE, as i've understood it, has its animations locked at 30 so upping the FPS doesn't really do anything.

Yep. I completely agree with this.
Whilst I like Bears books I just couldn't get into the K5 trilogy, but that wasn't because it had a slightly different genre or whatever.
It was because it was jarring to read coming from post 3 and just generally boring.
Better.
Sounds promising.
My thoughts for the game after sleep:
I really think chiefs going to take a back seat, I think the top Spartan will take lead and Chief will be the mysterious character in the background. I hope it builds up his legend as you play maybe even an inspiration to the Spartan.
I don't like the idea of ONI or anyone hunting Chief nor do I like him going rogue.
If they couldn't do Halo 3/4 @ 1080p60, they've done something horribly, horribly, horribly wrong.
Horribly.
I would bet Lisa Ann that it is.
No way that wasn't a controlled leak. Basically MS's entire fall lineup.
Sorry, I meant Halo 2 multiplayer.
Hmm. There is the processor architecture to consider, i guess. And how much work they put to it.
Please. Halo 3 FOV is so fucking bad.
Halo 3@270° FOV.

What would the fucking point of ADS in Halo be? What possible reason could they have for adding it in.
the fact of the matter is that Halo doesnt need ADS and it harms halo's gameplay.
ffs, why are people arguing for it being IN halo. go play BF, COD, etc.

The people that want ADS in 5 are the same people that think 4 was the best Halo.
Agreed completely. I was just speculating on why nothing would be confirmed or denied at this point.

or children that have only played CoD and nothalo
Which part
Catering to the wrong audience left us with 4. Instead of harming it actually improving it wouldn't hurt.
Whether or not Halo 5 will have AAs, i would like to have them in the campaign and whatever other non-competitive mode there might be.
Limiting them to campaign would allow 343i to go wild with them too. Stuff like Forerunner Constraint Field Manipulation AA (telekinesis like the Didact had) or perhaps a regenerating mine layer or teleport module etc.

I just hope it's campaign only for CEA, H3, and H4. I don't want anything taking away from the population numbers of H2A's matchmaking(that is if it has it's own mp component).
Well actually now that I have read the up to date posts here I don't know if I do anymore. ADS? in my Halo? It's hopefully less likely than I think.
I was gently escorted upon the hype train by Bonnie Ross's claims that they were listening to the fans and what not but ADS... Just give me H2 HD before you continue to shit on my favorite game series please.

ADS wouldn't improve the series. (if thats what you're insinuating)

Ntkrnl came and dropped bombs a few months ago, insiders said he was a controlled leaker authorised by MS to build hype.
Leaked lots of Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 5 beta stuff and also stuff like crackdown 3, forza horizon 2 etc. He has had a fairly good track record so far.
No idea who Shinobi is.
I was talking more about actually going of balanced gameplay that sticks to the halo core mechanics. ADS should never be present in Halo it is unwarranted and unneeded.

If CE comes you can bet your ass it will just be CE:A HD. Don't start expecting multiplayer. They already said pc netcode is too shitty and they can't add netcode to the game without massive effort.
Halo 2 will most likely be the focus for multiplayer. Based on what phil said.
I can't think of anything worth actually carrying over to a new game anyway.

I don't see why they wouldn't include CEA.

I wasn't talking about the technical possibilities. Having a choice between playing H2 or H3 online in a simultaneous release is what sounds absurd.

The amount of armor customization. sans retailer exclusive or SKU exclusive armors.

In theory it shouldnt be that hard to plug into the Halo 3 existing servers. It's the same game just at a different resolution.
Halo 2 will be the focus. Halo 3 and 4 will most likely be straight resolution upgrade ports.

Unless you want to stick to the old outdated Halo core mechanics you have my vote. I am eager to see how the mechanics improve in Halo 5
Ragnarok Flames

there is nothing outdated about the Core mechanics of halo. I thought you were smarter than that.
Need to do something about movement speed up that for sure and probably prune some of the power weapons like the laser from the matchmaking environment for a start.
The amount of customization yes but for the armor style itself I hope not.
No way it was a controlled leak. Look at the lengths MS goes to, to announce things. Entire press conferences and interviews with every website to say they bought the Gears of War IP. They're not going to reveal about two years worth of hardware and software plans in a series of posts on a forum, even an influential one. In the end, other sites barely reported it cautiously and the ones who did, only reported what they could confirm or that MS confirmed they're looking for him. He hasn't posted since, unlike CBoaT, which leads me to believe he is either gone from his position, was already going and decided to do a scorched earth type reveal, or was plain lucky. He hinted how it's easy to read a spreadsheet, how he doesn't really care about the implications. Also, be released info that has nothing to do with anybody like Black Tusk canceled IP Shangheist. What's point of reveal?
I mean just think about it, if you did a controlled leak it would make more sense to provide more proof than your word, and you'd go to several sites with viewership far greater than NeoGAF like IGN no? Not to mention, he revealed stuff that impacts other companies like Platinum Games, Respawn/EA etc.
