His repeated emphasis that it'll have exactly the same gameplay seems like a dangerous design choice to me. Shooters have evolved a LOT in the last decade, there's a reason most successful updates/remakes of classic games focus on capturing the spirit of the original rather than the exact mechanics.

i not to sure about an HD remake of halo, because it only one console cycal old and you can play it on you xbox 360 and graphics are not a selling point for me. i did like halo but if i want to replay it i could just put it in my 360 and it just seems lasy only changing the graphic and not adding thing. but there could be stuff they havent anounsted yet.

 

[Rad Party God]

The cynical in me sees little reason for buying this game over burrowing the old original Xbox disc and insert it on your 360's disc tray, or buying it from the XBLA marketplace, but the fanboy in me is telling me that I seriously do want to see the new graphics engine (I'm that easily impressed).

I'm quite fond of the first Halo, heck, this game, ironically, got me into PC gaming in the first place and I seriously wanted to buy an Xbox back then just for this game alone.

Just tell me that you're going to add all the multiplayer maps of the PC version (wich had some extra maps) and that's a sure buy from me.

Here is a question, how come I was awesomesauce at Halo 1 multiplayer but sucked dog balls at Halo 2 multiplayer? (cept for driving)

 

[fulano]

Doesn't anyone find it a bit unnerving how they try to pass up no change for a feature? asically they should just say that you are playing a 10 year old game with better graphics and the option to turn them off.

So far, I haven't seen anything that makes me wanna buy it.

Because the combat evolved.

HEY-O!

 

[A Curious Fellow]

I'm in it for the multiplayer. CE has no online. Aside from that.... hey, it looks pretty.

Glad to entertain.

And if you're talkin' bout the co-op, sure. But the competitive is just effectively a hefty map pack for Reach, made up of six remakes of old maps and one Firefight map.

EDIT: Also, I know you like the story- they've added terminals a la Halo 3, but it's video and voice acted.

Hmm. This isn't going to be 60$ is it?

Forty. So considering the normal price of a Reach map pack, you're basically getting an advanced Combat Evolved campaign for 20$ and then the Reach maps for 20$. Plus one map free.

EDIT: Totally feel like it should be spelled "fourty" for some reason. But Google Chrome denies it.

Ah, good, that's a deal. I'm on board completely.

Right? I feel like most people that are bashing it don't realize it isn't going to be full price. This isn't another ODST debacle (even though I think it was totally worth the 60$ I... would... have... payed for it if I bought it when it first came out. But that's me.)

 

[Armored Prayer]

So far it looks quite nice. Only thing that bothered me was the lack of any improvemnets in the enemy AI. I hate how the AI acted in the original, I wish they fought like they did in Reach.

 

[Bolt-206]

Well, I never got played the first Halo (earliest I got was 2), So this could be my chance to see what it was like.

 

[Dalek Caan]

I thought it would ell us there would a demo being released. Anyway it looks as awesome as ever and I can't wait.

I don't know how but I somehow quoted myself. Sorry double post.

And if you get this, then Reach afterwards, you still get the maps without issue, I take?

Still, Halo is my favorite FPS (Campaign wise) because its so pretty and not all that brown grit and colorful! And now they made it more colorful.
Well, back in the day, I liked it because it wasn't so fixated on gore, but point remains.

Having lost my original Halo disc to a thief, I can't imagine not enjoying this game.
