Support NeoGAF

[AltogetherAndrews]

Will buy

 

[Booshka]

Day one.

They are handling the campaign perfectly: original gameplay and physics with a shiny new coat of paint. Can't wait to solo and co-op my way through.

I won't miss the multiplayer. CE MP for me was defined by epic LAN parties and nothing else. Playing it over Live just wouldn't feel right.

There is that argument, but then there is the argument of people that went through all the trouble of setting up XBC just to play Halo CE online. LAN parties are amazing beasts of their own, but setting up XBC just to play Halo CE online is dedication, because the game's MP is the best of any Halo. I would love to recreate that enjoyment of Halo CE MP on Xbox Live, and still hold LANs with 360's and not have to get OG Xbox's and scrounge up old controllers to play. It also could have been at 60 fps for the ultimate experience.

 

[Walshicus]

I don't want to play Halo CE through Reach. Never has that idea even crossed my mind. I just want the Halo CE MP to play as it did with minor changes and better graphics. You cannot force me to support Reach, I don't like it.

I would be more excited about the co-op if it wasn't online only. This is Halo CE, I want 2 player split-screen. So now I would not only have to buy your crappy half game, but my friends would as well?

Disappointing. That's all I can say. You're really pushing me away from Halo as hard as you can Microsoft.

What are you talking about? If it's based on Reach's engine then why would you need to be online to play co-op???

 

[The Lamonster]

Only 7 maps are being remade? wtf is this bullshit??

Don't get me wrong, day one and everything, I will just be a very sad Halo fan if Prisoner and the rest of my personal favorite maps don't make the cut.

 

[Proc]

So is there going to be a multiplayer disc comparable to the odst disc? Basically all of reach + dlc + new maps for $40?

 

[iconoclast]

The lack of Halo CE multiplayer in this package is unbelievable. This remake is a complete waste if you don't include the best part. Good job guys.

 

[Striker]

Halo: CE didn't have many MP maps in the first place.

I hope. It's the only way I'll be buying this.

 

[Buckethead]

They have Bloodgulch... Right?

RIGHT?!

 

[cluto]

Someone please help me find that video of 343 industries people talking about how they're safeguarding and protecting the Halo franchise. I remember watching it a little while ago but I can't seem to find it on halo.xbox.com or the Halo Waypoint youtube channel.

 

[sixghost]

They'll be porting Coagulation.

Because fuck you.

 

[Bread]

ATTENTION: 343

Turn one of the Halo CE single player maps into a forgeworld map. e.g. island on Silent Cartographer or snowy landscape of Assault on the Control Room.

pretty please?

 

[Finalow]

Halo: CE will be my reason to become gold again.

maybe.

 

[op_ivy]

again, is it possible that this has the original MP in its original form, ie split screen and system link only?

 

[Booshka]

Halo: CE will be my reason to become gold again.

maybe.

you can stay Silver/Free, no Halo 1 MP in the Remake.

 

[McNei1y]

I may have to get this. Chief looks ridiculous though. I also would've liked a Halo CE recreation but new maps for Reach that don't suck is always good enough for me.

 

[VGChampion]

again, is it possible that this has the original MP in its original form, ie split screen and system link only?

I hope so. I gave up on Halo Reach multiplayer soon after launch but have more hours in split / system link Halo then almost any other game. I would even go back to using something like Xbox Connect if it came down to that. CE maps in Reach was the dumbest decision ever and saying Halo 1 wouldn't have legs on Live is ridiculous. There are a lot of fans who would play for a long time. People were still playing Halo 2 until they shut those servers down so just because it's outdated doesn't mean it's less fun.

 

[thezerofire]

in this day and age only local multiplayer is unacceptable

They're keeping the MC Halo 1 model true.

Did you forget what he looked like?

 

[kaskade]

40 bucks? Fuck yes.

 

[Havok]

You can do that without making him look ridiculous.

The helmet looks like it's way too tall.

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

Halo is known for its colorful palette. Not digging the desaturated black and white look.

I like the change.

 

[PooBone]

Why the FUCK do they have Army in there instead of Marines? To save money on having to build a new marine model?

Saber Interactive..... finish the port and then go back to obscurity.

 

[kamspy]

ODST was $40 at one time too. Wonder if MS will stick to their pricing.

 

[Toddler]

I forgot who, but I'm supposed to be telling someone "Told ya so!".

 

[PooBone]

That visor is awfully damn tall.

Good thing it's a first person game.

 

[NemesisPrime]

Really? You think CoD is the only game that puts up bigger numbers than Halo?

Basically yes.

 

[Kibbles]

They better change that shit before launch. >.>

 

[tc farks]

What are you talking about? If it's based on Reach's engine then why would you need to be online to play co-op???

Because I'm not putting it past them to drop 2 player split-screen to sell more copies. Of course my last post sounds ambiguous. Its added vitriol just in case.

 

[BuffaloDave]

i just dont understand how they could not include the MP. what they fuck were they thinking all the die hard halo players wanted? UGH

not only that but in the 343 video of them talking about the halo CE HD they said the "3shot pistol" is still there, but the pistol was ONLY 3 shots in multiplayer, not campaign

/facepalm

 

[soldat7]

Really? You think CoD is the only game that puts up bigger numbers than Halo?

Where have you been?

 

[duk]

no original CE gameplay = no buy, that's what i wanted it for you fucks

 

[op_ivy]

i'm sure you mean MP, as the gameplay is identical.

 

[Krakatoa]

Halo: CE didn't have many MP maps in the first place.

Of course there will be more maps...Hello DLC Map Packs

 

[Untracked]

This looks really nice, well... apart from that daft helmet.

Shame about the multiplayer maps adding to Reach though. I loved Halo 2 and 3 on Live, but Reach just doesn't do it for me

 

[Rahxephon91]

Yep, Reach MP is not what I wanted. I will skip for sure.

 

[Spasm]

Ugh, I just realized that the only thing for me in this package is the MP maps. If campaign is synchronous lockstep, that rules out Live co-op with my friends.

Damn, I really was banking on MM for MP.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

MC looks like he did in the Mac days.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Yep, Reach MP is not what I wanted. I will skip for sure.

Im going to wait and see, its certainly not day 1 at the moment but im sure they will do some cheeky marketing and include pre-order codes for halo 4 multiplayer to make it hard to say no.

 

[cameron]

I wonder why the devs chose not to go with Bungie's redesign / hi-res version of the original Halo:CE armour, as seen in Halo 3.

 

[Ominym]

Was initially excited, now I'm pretty disappointed.

Also, that side by side comparison of the Master Chief makes it look far more ridiculous. Come on whoever designed that.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Need to catch up on all the news, but this looks sweet.

Except for that helmet. It sucks. They need to fix it just a bit, haha.

 

[Magni]

Can't believe so many people actually thought MS would release a Halo game so soon after Reach with its own MP, I called this as soon as Reach was announced.

What I want to know is if Bungie can add Halo 1 weapons to Reach MP (for these maps at least). Also, seven maps is pretty good considering the original only had ten.

Calm down folks, stop it with the meltdowns already. Day 1.



Oh, and fix the fucking visor please.

 

[thezerofire]

If they wanted to show all the people who never got to play Halo CE why it is so loved they did a shitty job of it.

Did you actually play the new version?

 

[Maximus.]

I loved Halo and I probably will get this because it was so great.

 

[thezerofire]

Did you actually play the new version?

do you even need to? sure the campaign was fun but let's not pretend that most people spent more time playing multiplayer

 

[duk]

yes i did, thanks

totally bummed

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Sadly im not that hyped about just the single player. Once you unleash the flood the gameplay turns sour, I just dont see myself getting through the Library again lol! I guess ill play through it eventually but its not hype.

 

[Trunchisholm]

The armour looks all right, but the helmet surely sticks out like a sore thumb. Master Chief must have a horse-like face for it to be that narrow -Sarah Jessica Parker is MC confirmed?-. Pretty please, 343i, change that before release.
