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

Blame Bungie for calling their form of progressive bullet randomization "reticle bloom" thereby resulting in everybody shortening it to simply "bloom."

the main thing i want is online for halo 1. a graphic revamp would be nice, but i just want to be able to play this game online with forging and stuff

If I wasn't clear enough, I'm referring to the addition of Counter-Strike style degenerative accuracy for mid range weapons (which was NOT in previous Halo games, trigger spamming the pistol doesn't count). Basically, what Warsaw said. It was a really dumb idea, and so was making bullet weapons hitscan.

Ugh, hitscan. I'm sorry, but making games "more accessible" does not automatically make them more fun. There is zero satisfaction when you don't have to try.

I honestly believe that making games more accessible is what makes them more horrible. Removing any sense of challenge from any aspect of what makes up core gameplay will ruin a game and potentially a series. It is for this reason I have an extreme distaste for Reach now.

Hell I'm looking back on Halo 3 and all of it's aspects I was bitching about and finding myself extremely foolish and outright wrong.

Halo 3 definitely wasn't perfect, but it had its moments and I'd take it over Reach any day.

What's really weird about it is that slow bullets have always been a characteristic feature of Bungie games in the past. Suddenly going back on it for their last entry in the Halo series just feels wrong.

Irrelevant to the Halo 1 remake, I for one would love Halo 3 for PC.

According to ZDnet, the video was dated May 2010

Apart from the video being a fail, it seems to be the most recent clue as to whether Halo 3 will ever be on PC.

Hmm- could mean something, or the artist could merely have thrown in a series of well known Microsoft games. I would love H3 on the pc- full AA ftw. However, I'm so used to it on the 360 that it would feel really weird. I'd totally be in for a H1 remake though.

I see my Halo 3 icon from Xbox 360 on my Games for Windows Live account just like I see my Halo 2 Vista icon on my Xbox Live Account on my 360... I wouldn't put any emphasis on this.
