All of this really does sound just...too perfect. I keep coming back to this thread thinking, "there's going to be SOME way that they fuck this up. Just some small thing that won't mean shit to anyone, but for me is going to bum the hell out of me. " It might be my cynicism kicking in, but I think I finally found what that 'thing' might be.
I own all of the Halos and recently I've been going back to show my younger siblings why I enjoy the series so much, etc etc. (kick them off of their CoD addiction for a bit.) We played through the campaigns of 1-3, and now we're working through ODST and Spartan Ops. Regarding the trilogy, there's something about the game and how it handles/controls that makes me meld back into the series so easily. Even 4 which is a fucking weird game, I would say /feels/ like a Halo game. It's hard , for a lot of shooters to replicate this feel. Even Halo remasters, like CE:A, don't feel like classic Halo. There's something off about CE:A that I can't put my finger on. Great remaster outside of the multiplayer, but it's just...it's indescribable. It's why I played on normal graphics the majority of the game.
With this collection, i hope that the remaster can nail the physics, controls, hit detection, gunplay, etc that made me really enjoy Halo 2. I have faith that 3 and 4 will be 100% okay, but it's 1 and 2's MP that I'm concerned about. I'm going to buy this collection, day one, with no hesitation. But I won't lie and say I won't be upset if I get the same feelings I got from CE:A with this game.
But I won't lie and say I don't get a massive stiffy with the thought of Lockout in 60fps/1080p. Beaver Creek, pistols only, in 60fps/1080p. God I love this series.
And Halo 5 better be hype, goddammit.
