Great, more media rumors.

If it's truly not using the Blam engine then it's going to flop. Remakes are risky to begin with, redos are just...well stupid. But whatever, at least there is a gang of game developers getting paid to do something. That's a big undertaking, to redo an entire game with new assets and different game data in a completely different engine. AI won't be (and thus act) the same. Different physics. Etc. Consider me ultra skeptical of this. There's no way in hell I'll pre-order this, and I'd expect no less from other hard core Halo fans.
