beaver creek/damnation/hang em high + more in reach is enough to make me =)

and sounds like there is new easter eggs in CE. frankie confirmed new terminals.

 

[MomoPufflet]

What is the resolution? More mickey mouse 6XXp? Or real HD?

 

[CrunchinJelly]

40$?

Why the fuck not, eh?

 

[op_ivy]

40$?

with the reach MP disc hopefully it will grow and take back #2 on the live top 10

 

[LosDaddie]

As someone who still enjoys Reach, I'm happy about MS/343's decision not to fragment the base. I welcome the new maps and hope it's not more than $15

 

[Varjet]

Will they do anything about the indoor levels? Those were so repetitive.

 

[BakedPigeon]

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.




Oh, and fix the fucking visor please.

Yea, its totally shocking that people were expecting to be able to play the original multiplayer in a recreation of the original game. Completely shocking.

 

[Trunchisholm]

1152x720, just like Reach. By the way, not calling that HD or downplaying the game's graphics for that tiny pixel deficit is some serious bullshit.

Will they do anything about the indoor levels? Those were so repetitive.

No, it's still the same game. They've only touched the graphics and, maybe, the sound.

 

[Game2Death]

Absolutely THRILLED that the Halo CE remake is not getting it's own multiplayer.

The Halo sandbox has evolved and expanded since Halo was released 10 years ago. I have no interest in returning to a stripped-down, basic Halo experience.

I would rather get new Reach content and play in that sandbox, and replay the Halo CE campaign for nostalgia.

I agree with you. This is exactly what I wanted and they should have done. GG

 

[The Lamonster]

Looking forward to the list of MP maps we're getting. Hopefully they release the list sooner rather than later.

 

[Spasm]

Aight, since the map-pack is the only thing I'm looking forward to, might as well post my wishlist.

1. Death Island (PC)
2. Sidewinder
3. Danger Canyon (PC)
4. Ice Fields (PC)
5. Gephyrophobia (PC)
6. Boarding Action
7. Hang 'Em High

They were alien, seemingly never-ending, and incredibly interconnected to the outside environments. The lack of this sensation is why the Halo 2 and Halo 3 campaigns lack any sense of longevity for me. I can play Halo: CE once a month from now til the end of days and be happy. It has a sense of place that most modern games lack. Gosh dang, Halo CE is a campaign that stands above the rest and will likely never be matched.

I think we can safely rule out the PC maps.

 

[RdN]

I also don't like the Master Chief model.. AT ALL.

They better make some changes.. It's pretty terrible as is.

Here's mine, in no particular order:

Damnation
Sidewinder
Prisoner
Hang 'em High
Chill Out
Boarding Action
Wizard

I love Blood Gulch and Battle Creek, but I've played them so many times in the previous games; the above maps would be a welcome refreshment.

HiH is in, but I really doubt any of the others are in, especially everyone of the PC maps.

*initial post deleted*

Alright I'll stop posting that pic, but I just don't get it. Is this one going to try to compete with the strides other FPS are making in this genre or is it just going to be microsoft squeezing another dollar.

I just dont get it. Bioshock added huge amounts of level interactiveness, Call of duty added tons to multiplayer and story, and halo gets hyped just for repeating itself.

If it's adding a lot to the series fine, but thats why I got beef with these Halo announcements. I'm not a fan of phoning it in. Here's hoping they are planning on putting the series back on top with gameplay in these otherwise what was the point.

Some parts are repetitive as they get, though. I would have welcomed a change in that regard, but changing anything but the graphics in a game as nostalgia-driven as Halo CE is a recipe for disaster.

 

[soldat7]

ANOTHER another Halo?

Then why post in a Halo thread?

I think some levels like the Library get a bad rap due to the flood and the repetition. You keep going and going and going, but when you get to the end, it feels so darn rewarding. I do agree that there needs to be a balance, but I'm tired of games trucking me off to one location after the other while losing that sense of interconnectedness. Forerunner architecture is repetitive by design, with structures jutting down into the ground and off into the distance as far as the eye can see. I think the repetition adds to the claustrophobia of being in an alien structure with no end in sight. Coupled with the amazing Halo gameplay, I found it to be a winning combination.

 

[Warm Machine]

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.

I only ever played the SP of Halo 1.

 

[thezerofire]

you missed out, I'm sorry to say

 

[Log4Girlz]

I hope they remake this again for Xbox 720.

 

[Blueblur1]

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.

This is the armor they need to use. Hopefully Frankie and the boys are paying attention.

 

[Striker]

This is the armor they need to use. Hopefully Frankie and the boys are paying attention.

I am ok with the Mark V helmet there, but the actual body armor doesn't say Halo 1 at all.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Boarding Action BETTER fucking be in.

 

[Trunchisholm]

This is the armor they need to use. Hopefully Frankie and the boys are paying attention.

At least, they could make the armour slightly customizable.

 

[Warm Machine]

That is because it is just a helmet on the Halo 3 armor.

 

[Wizman23]

The vidoc on Halo Waypoint shows some good gameplay tidbits and how you can instantly switch off the new graphics

 

[bill gonorrhea]

no Chiron TL34

That sounds really cool.

Why do you care? You don't have to buy it...

And you posted this same post in both Halo threads. That is what you would call trolling and generally being a dick.

 

[Phonomezer]

Nice, reminds me of R-Type Dimensions.

 

[oxygenal]

for me

1.Prisoner
2.Damnation

6.Wizard
7.Battle Creek

Agree, except for Wizard and Damnation which I want to exchange for other maps.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

good shit..if you don't care then don't enter a Halo thread.

I hope you post the same thing in the Nintendo thread when a new Mario game is announced.

 

[Shiggy]

Wow, this comes as a real surprise. I would've never guessed that this would happen.

Ugh... I thought there would be a multiplayer component for this game besides co-op. I'm gonna have to pass.

[wenis]

They better change that shit before launch. >.>

lol yeah right...the game is "done done" right now.

going in to change the model would cost time and money for them. I'm sure Microsoft was telling producers "make this as cost effective as possible because we want a huge turn around when the release comes"

STOP. POSTING. THIS. IN. EVERY. THREAD.

 

[Kyaw]

Is this coming on PC though?

 

[2th]

i am rather disappointed.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

So...who is actually handling this port? 343 Industries? Or another company?

 

[clav]

So...who is actually handling this port? 343 Industries? Or another company?

Saber and the guys who have been doing Halo/Call of Duty Blops map packs.

343 looks over the project.

 

[Finalow]

actually i'm pretty excited.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Is this coming on PC though?

Don't believe so.

Anyways, I'll be there day one. I LOVE Halo CE, and this looks like it will do a great job of recapturing that spirit. Having the maps as a map pack in Reach is an interesting choice. I'll have to wait for more details at HaloFest before I can judge.

 

[JaggedSac]

Wait, wait, what?!?!

This doesn't have competitive multiplayer?

 

[Uno Venova]

I'm sold, I never got to play the original.

 

[Izayoi]

Wait, wait, what?!?!

This doesn't have competitive multiplayer?

Sure doesn't.

If you've played it before you're definitely better off waiting for a price drop.

Or used, I guess.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Damn, the fact that you can switch between graphics has got me waaaay hyped.
That means it IS going to be Halo1!
