Yes, it's been confirmed that HPC and H2V maps will be included.
I'm surprised no one here has cried about if HA10 will have HPC's leading or not. Which I'm betting it won't.

But Kornholeman they said they didn't touch the original engine(s), doesn't that mean netcode?
o wait Halo 1 didn't have netcode.
Well shit.
Kornholeman please port the new good netcode from HA10 to OpenSauce thank
HA10 was built off the PC version of the game. I'm assuming that includes the net code. The net code was updated in HA10 for 360, for coop. I'm guessing it'll playout the same for Mp.
Not likely, as campaign in Halo as always required lockstep synchronization (one of the reasons why you can't join a level midgame). Competitive MP runs on an asynchronous model.
edit: Oh wait, you mean "play out" as in they'll just do some updates for MP net code as well, I think. Nvm
343i are the ones who developed the networking for MCC apparently (I imagine the dedis share a common infrastructure). But for HA10, they could have also just got Saber to just jury rig their Saber3D networking to support Halo1's very minimalistic needs.
At the end of the day, I don't expect them to be using the 'messsage delta' system GBX made for PC, even if HA10 is based on HPC 1.0
It wouldn't surprise me if they went the route of Ha10 and reach in that the MP was a version of Reach with remade maps in the newer engine.
That would solve a lot of problems but also means BXR and super bounce in H2A MP is out of the question.
The original H2 maps will be in the original engine, just as H1's maps, but I'm betting the 6 H2 "anniversary" maps will be in the H4 engine (as they support Forge/Theater)
Judging by the look and the weapon reanimation (which was one of the Halo 4 animators), it looked like the 6 remastered MP maps for Halo 2 were in Halo 4's engine, much the same as Ha10's remastered maps were in Reach.
But yeah, everything else will apparently be done on it's own original engine, save for optimization updates for Xbox One. Get excite.
I do believe they said for sure that the six were running in H4's engine.Quote:

I'm pretty sure this mysterious quote is just them covering their ass from saying "yeah, H2A maps are running in the H4 engine, inheriting features like Forge, etc" causing the hard core fans to freak the fuck out that it will somehow magically suffer from what they may think are H4's design flaws.
