I knew one (the basic one), learned the tank trick in this thread, what's the third?
It requires the player to successfully bridge jump down using the cliff edge.

The rest i'll let you discover on your own.

Oh, all right. Will google it someday or try it with my friend. Not really a trickster type unless playing in co-op with a friend.

Won't you find out by yourself? Becuase then you are going to have a lot of playtime with this game.
Doubt that, have played Halo CE so many times already and Skyrim is taking my time.

So if you buy this game, will there be any way to transfer the maps to Reach, or are you going to have switch back and forth to play everything (unless of course you want to pony up again for the Reach pack)?

I believe it was stated somewhere that you could install the maps to your hard drive and play them from Reach.

Yes, you are able to download the maps to your HDD.

I wish all re-makes were handled like this.

Scaling it up to HD with some nicer textures feels lazy.
Re-imagining it is going to get people mad.

Just pretty-fy it to make it look next gen while keeping the same feel.

Now where's my Super Mario 64 remake?

What the fuck did I miss or are you making this up?

Also, glad to hear there is some marketing push coming soon. Hopefully we'll get some sexy tv commercials. I always loved the Halo commercials.

CEA won't have Armor abilities, forge maps, bad maps, or 100% bloom.
It will have an incredible campaign, online/lan co-op (I finally get a full screen for CE co-op), skulls, bumper jumper, and the terminals connecting to Halo 4.

Just realizing now how awesome this is going to be

Yes it will be. I can't wait for the online co-op. I'll be playing it all the time with a buddy of mine who lives a couple states away. That without a doubt is the biggest addition for me.

Likewise. Everything else is just icing on the cake but the online co-op campaign is the real draw for me.

I sent my brother $40 for his birthday, even though years ago we all agreed we'd stop exchanging gifts because we're all notoriously hard to shop for and would just end up swapping $20 bills for Christmas. That way, we could both get it on the same day without waiting for payday and replay the campaign on co-op.

This was a yearly thing for as long as there's been Halo, right up until we both moved; get together on Christmas and blow through the campaign on Legendary. It's been quite a few years though, so I bet it's only Heroic this time (Normal = No Halo Honor).

Anniversary Slayer has 85% Bloom and Armour Abilities. Going by the latest videos.

I won't be playing in the playlists with armor abilities very often

So all of the CEA playlists then? The only way to avoid both will be to control the majority vote each game - which you won't be able to. I'm pretty sure you're not getting rid of either Bloom or AA's easily.

343 please make me wrong.

Edit: Thank you 343!

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.

No to both? I'm actually in favor of 85% bloom, ZB without RoF changes is a mess. AA's can suck it though.
The Anniversary slayer magnum has different bloom and ROF fire settings.

Many internets will be won if someone ever records this.
I don't have recording equipment or a pleasant singing voice, so you'll have to do it yourself.

Play this.

And sing this:

You might as well surrender
when you're not the host
and your latency is so bad
that you're killed the most.

Wish we had a server
instead of peer to peer.
It's enough for this restless gamer
to quit and get a beer.

And can you feel the lag tonight
in this Halo game?
It's enough for this NeoGAF poster
to bitch and complain.
And can you feel the lag tonight
or is it only me?
It's enough to make tryhards ragequit
and go play Rock Band 3.

At the rate I'm moving,
I can just assume
that the host of this Firefight match
lives upon the moon.

There's no rhyme or reason
to this roll of the dice.
When your Spartan slides around,
it's Halo on Ice™.

Great OT and I love the title. This and Skyrim are all I need for this holiday season. Thanks 343i and here's hoping for a Halo 2 remake on the Xbox 720 after Halo 4.

It came out for the DS. And it kinda sucked.

You can't tell, but I'm already in line at my local Ticketmaster. Front row, here I come. I'm especially excited for "I'll Make A Spartan Out Of You" and "Someday My Sergeant Johnson Will Come."

Halo:CE was the shit and still today is one of those games that I can just talk to anyone about how awesome it was when it came out. Even in modern day nerd dick waving contests, the original Halo game still comes up.

It is and still will be the defining Halo game in the series. It is the only game in the entire series that I consider the single player campaign to be the best part of the game itself. Not only a great multiplayer game but a theatrical like single player experience that was delivered at the time.

Thank you Bungle, for making one of the greatest games I have ever played.

Definitely NOT for all ages.

So you know in all the commotion about the game I just had a question pop into my head.

Is the manual as quality as the original manual for the original? Halo Has one kick ass manual.

This is why I visit Halo threads. Brilliant!

Reach's was quality as well. All of the Halo manuals were pretty great, actually.

I'm an absurd packaging snob, and I still really hope for well thought out and put together (color) game manuals. I don't think I could bear to open a game and see this. Magazine racks would tumble.

It only includes the 6 remade MP maps and one firefight map. You can install them to your hard drive to play on a full copy of Reach, but you're only getting the rest of the Reach maps by buying the game (and it's map packs) separately. :/

Yup. I would love it to be pretty much true to the original with info on the additions added of course. I really hate when games have no manuals or flimsy 4 page black and white manuals.
