Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)

I'm quite interested in both single player and multiplayer, including Firefight. Gonna be sick!

Halo Retrospective Part 2

Covering Halo 3->Halo Wars->ODST->Reach. Part 3 will cover multiplayer. Part 4 will probably be about the fandom and community.

Love the retrospective series. It adds great and proper homage to the series. It also helps me realize just how much I love this series and how much I will miss Bungie in the process as being its primary developer.

Agreeing here! Can't wait for Firefight. If I bring my Xbox to school with me, I might just try to renew XBL.

Something feels off about the pistol in that multiplayer video. I think it's that the max fire rate is too high.

You mean you haven't played the Beta hopper in Reach? The pistol makes the game feel like you're playing some CoD game with how fast you fire and take someone out

Though the pistol they're using in the Beta Hopper isn't the pistol that's going to be in the classic playlist. But yeah, the pistol in Zero Bloom is sort of slightly powerful...

Really? I thought it was. Glad it isn't, gimmicks are only fun for so long.

Well the Beta Hopper pistol is just the one from Reach with no bloom, right? The shield bleedthrough makes it a tad more powerful too.

From what I can tell, the one in the Classic playlist will be as close to the Halo 1 pistol as possible and will still have bloom (the gameplay videos show it that way anyway). That means it's a three shot kill, but you can't go spamming it like you do in the Zero Bloom playlist. Oh, and I think they've also made it automatic and shoot slower like in Halo 1, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

You guys are filling me with so much halo ce nostalgia. I wanna play this game! Oh wait, i'll just go play the original that doesn't have bullshit attached to it.

Well, you can have fun playing the original again for the millionth time, And I will enjoy playing something fresh and new feeling.
