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

[ghk]

poop on them....theyve had h3,halo wars,odst,and reach all to themselves while us pc'ers have been stuck in halo purgatory
yes...thats right....i dont have an xbox

[Hotrod]

Hmm, well I'd be happy either way but I'm not too sure how the Reach engine would run on my computer. Probably quite well, but still... I like my 360 controller and Xbox live.

Probably quite well, but still... I like my 360 controller and Xbox live.

1) USB 360 controller
2) G4WL

And depending on how different some of the platform specific definitions are in the Reach engine for 360 vs PC, someone could probably port any mods to the 360, so there.

[Hotrod]

Yeah...but all 4 of my controllers are wireless and I don't have the money/desire to go buy a 5th 360 controller :P

And Xbox Live > G4WL

Still, if it did come out only on PC I would be extremely happy about it, and even better if it comes out on both PC and 360. I'm just saying that the 360 offers more than the PC does in some aspects that I find important, notably split-screen playing and not having to worry about performance issues related to hardware.

I'll buy it if they leave the original gameplay untouched save for bug fixes. IMO, the more Bungie tried to fix Halo, the more they fucked it up. Other long standing series have seen a much needed return to form lately (mario, sonic), it would be nice to see the same happen to Halo.


Also this.

What if the game people want to play is a Halo 1 remake with the Reach engine on the 360?

And this.

I was desperately hoping we'd get to play The Pillar of Autumn again when the credits started playing on reach (the 3rd time I beat the campaign, wtf?).

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

People want this, it could be accomplished with minimal effort, and would make a fuckton of money. I see no reason for it not to happen.

I would like to see some gameplay changes such as assassinations or armor abilities.
If I wanted to play the same Halo 1 I'd play the original. Better graphics aren't good enough of a selling point for me.

After all, I'd love to experience the Halo CE campaign in an all new way.

Armor abilities and bloom are more of a frustrating addition than they are fun. I complain more about them then I actually cheer out of joy. And even when I use them succesfully it feels cheap.
Most people in my friendslist exhibit similar behaviour. Some of the more hardcore players even went so far as to sell Halo Reach...just because the game feels so random now.

My point is that I don't want to see the original Halo fucked up in a similar way. Halo 1 + Bloom + Armor Abilities = disgusting.

[Shock120]

I believe it's more likely they will release Halo 4 on the next Xbox console, not sure why, but my guess is they are severely limited in what upgrades they can make on the Halo game,
Bungie couldn't make a Halo 3 game with more content than it already has, ODST and Reach are evident of this.

I bet 343 Industries would be lazy like Bungie and use the Lockstep/synchronous model netcode for co-op modes. -_-

I really would like Halo 3 for PC, with a full EK and upgrades to the game engine in general to adjust console limits for the PC, and upgrade the distributed model netcode for full campaign support. /wishlist.

Please tell me you weren't being serious when you posted this. Please.

[Shock120]

Please tell me you weren't being serious when you posted this. Please.

I'm hoping for them to actually work on it.
I assumed when Bungie said.

Q. Isn’t there a really quick and easy way for Bungie to crank out a patch that would remove the effects of latency altogether?

A. Unfortunately not. There is a lot of work that goes in to making our distributed multiplayer model run as well as it does. The messages that are passed around to keep the machines states up to date are crafted to minimize bandwidth and support the needed functionality. We simply have never hooked up distributed messages to a lot of the awesomeness that exists in Firefight and co-op campaign. Things like cinematics, AI, combat dialog, let alone making it all run smoothly on a 256K up host. It would be a lot of work, and we are super focused on Reach at the moment.

I thought they would've sorted it out for Halo Reach. :'(
