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

[Donut]

yeah youre right, there were ladders in halo 1.

Whenever I see campaign footage, the first thing that comes to mind is "CMT SP v2." That's the vibe I get from it.

I like what they've done with battle creek, the SP as a whole, I love for the most part the visual changes, and i'm sure it will be fun since it is H1 at it's core, but I really wish they did a better job with everything else as it feels like a copy&paste of content from reach and H3.

And the lighting makes it feel like a CMT campaign job. It looked amazing in Halo 1. For a professional studio with full access to the game and then some, it feels amateurish. I'm not complaining so much as observing; I'm going to buy and enjoy the game either way; since the game play is the same, I know it will be fun.

This just in: they're removing the pistol because grunts are now on the endangered species list, and they're worried they won't have enough for Halo4

:trollface:

When I saw "Battle Canyon", I was hoping for Danger Canyon

I was just reading back on this thread and I love how some of you are already talking about a halo 2 remake already even though the first hasnt even came out yet. All I can say is that if they EVER decide to remake halo 2, they better give us What we expected from the first game without fucking up the story. Starting with outskirts, this is the first campaign we ever touched down onto earth in the halo universe, however this was presented very poorly and im sure everyone was expecting what we all saw when the E3 beta of halo 2 came out, instead we get a mainly close quarters area to start in as soon as the level starts. The map had huge potential, and couldve been the map to change the way people look at the campaign in general, as the game was meant to emphasize the covenant on earth. I could go into more detail about the other maps, but im sure you all get what im saying. The game sucked SP wise and doesnt deserve a remake, and a GOOD remake would most likely throw people off because it would require a lot of changes in some of the levels and there layouts.

Sorry for the rant, but the first game in my opinion is the only one worthy of a remake.

^ this for fucks sake. odst kind of redeemed that a little bit gameplay and atmosphere wise. maybe if it fucking had some elites in it, it could be called halo 2 odst.

heres an idea: halo 1 weapon set with next gen graphics (but KEEP the original look) with odst style city fighting + more close quarters (and halo 1 shotgun means a shotgun is actually fucking USEFUL) that takes place during the same period as halo 2 with halo 2 style enemies, branded as "what halo 2's sp should have been". oh and no random ass 1sk beam rifle foot shots either.

Or, they could get rid of this legacy shit and start over. I would love to see them do a realism-style Halo, even if it's only for one game.

[Donut]

yeah they could do that, while just making it fun. im so fucking sick of worrying about what gun i have, because some of the guns are just so much less useful than others. like in halo 1, as long as youre not playing on legendary, you could use pretty much any combination of weapons aside from maybe the needler, and be ok. in halo 3 / odst / reach its like if youre not carrying a dmr or at the very least, a pistol, youre at a huge disadvantage because grunts take so many god damned bullets to kill if it isnt a headshot. and you run out of ammo a lot faster too, so that doesnt help the situation at all.
