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

No, the map file was "beavercreek.map." The in-game name is "Battle Creek." In Halo 2, Bungie decided to call it "Beaver Creek." Unfortunately, the shittier of the two names has stuck.

I disagree. 3 and Reach are quite slower than H1 and 2 due to the massive damage nerf to all weapons.

But that's not the point. The point is if you didn't like Reach before, you're not going to like Anniversary MP. It does nothing to fix any of the game's problems.

This reminds me.

"Beaver Creek", I find distracting. Like, was this map inspired by lady parts or what? Are the bases supposed to be labia? Oof, I'm dead.

But at least I can picture dudes at Bungie hollering that name across the office. I can't picture them saying B40 aloud unless it's bingo night.

Though the "Anniversary" gametypes with the Halo 1 pistol have removed armour abilities, which should make some people happy.

The reason they call it Beaver Creek is because it doesn't have LADDERS. It's just the one from Halo 2. They now use slopes because Bungie decided that ladders weren't cool anymore.


Mustache.

Finally gotten around to finishing the damn campaign, and it's pretty cool.
Skulls are fun to use... but I still haven't gotten bandana, guess why? :maddowns:
And the ending cinematic is awesome again.

If you've got XBL I can help you get the bandanna, I found it with INSANEdrive last night.

But don't stop doing it on my account. Just don't anyone ever ask a developer that worked on the game about a level and refer to it by those names. He or she won't be impressed. You might even receive a Nelson Muntz-style punch to the stomach, complete with finger point and laughter. I'm pretty sure Marty carries a shiv for just such a breach of etiquette.

On multiple occasions, both Bungie and 343i have publicly referred to the campaign levels by the internal names.

Kind of funny how they thought: "The forerunners are too smart for ladders, lets make lifts instead"..Maybe they should have put grav lifts in their instead of a terrain pathway..
