Yeah, Holy crap- that button is the coolest thing ever. And it does sound like the gameplay for SP at least will be identical, and other than assassinations, it is implied that the MP is the same. Though that's fairly fuzzy at the moment.

Edit: And dammit Pyong, stop that.

So master chief just happened to have a jet pack that was never used through halo 3 or 2 or 1...?
Sorry if this was mentioned before, but I didn't read everything.

Aren't they thrusters in his boots?

I'm pretty sure the MP of HA10 is going to be exactly like Reach. I'm willing to bet this will work out pretty similar to how ODST was released, separate multiplayer disc.. etc

Also, this gallery is amazing. I'm so excited. And the classic button is awesome too.

But there is no spoon PC version

To clear some things up: Halo Anniversary is the halo 1 engine with improved graphics, it uses the same physics and balance as halo 1.

There is no Halo HD multiplayer, the multiplayer you are seeing is the MAP PACK of halo 1 based maps for Halo Reach that will be included with the game. It is unclear at this time if the maps will come with the full reach multiplayer or just an installer for the pack.

1:14 and 3:46 into the video, I spy DMRs, and they're wearing Mark IV.

Listening to the commentary as well, at no point do they say anything about how the multiplayer is the same as Combat Evolved. However, when on the subject of the campaign, they mention that the "gameplay is identical to what it was 10 years ago."

More conjecture: I'm thinking that, if HA10 is going to be packaged like ODST, that the CE portion of the game's engine IS Blam 1 Plus, basically ye olde engine plus improved shaders, and network support for cooperative play. The gameplay footage "feels" like Halo 1 pacing, with "floaty" vehicles and characters, and I saw a couple instances of "air swimming" on deaths instead of ragdolling (1:51 when the elite dies from the needler, for example), not to mention that every time an elite dies it's an animation, not a limp ragdoll.

GIVEN THAT MY CONJECTURE IS TRUE, all I can think about is how much different HA10 map cache files are from Combat Evolved XBox/PC/CE ones...

[Lateksi]

Obviously a Marathon remake?

Now THAT would be interesting...

I hope they keep the gameplay and guns pretty much the same in HA10/SH17(lol). I don't mind the assassinations.

EDIT: K, my dream's crushed.
