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

[Kornman00]

Oh, realism-style Halo, so you mean Call of Halo right?

He said realism, not CS:2009 realism.

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.

Even on Legendary in Halo 1 I can get away with any gun I want. I play almost every level using nothing but the Assault Rifle and the Pistol and no, the pistol does not do all of the work; it's mainly used for thinning out Grunts and killing Hunters. I use the Needler on T&R, Halo, and AotCR sometimes. I use the Plasma Rifle on 343 GS and The Library. Sometimes I don't even pick up a shotgun when I should, because fuck snakes; I want to use a rocket launcher/plasma pistol combo. The game was just so goddamn fun.

In Reach, I squee'd when I saw "600" count for ammo on the Assault Rifle in the opening level, but I was promptly disappointed when I found that I could not actually carry that amount and that no other guns had large ammunition capacities. Fuck you Bungie, if you were doing it for sake of multiplayer balance, stop; nobody survives long enough to amass 10 magazines for their rape cannon (which they spawn with anyways) on your too-small maps.

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.

Then it wouldn't be a remake..

Halo 2 doesn't need a remake. It just needs a straight port to 360 via Arcade with modern resolution and online co-op. If only for the exploring and goofing around aspects, Halo 2 had the best Campaign of the series and I want it more than the first game tbh.

Wat...

No, seriously...wat.

That campaign was the most linear, boring, disappointing, and enraging experience out of the entire franchise. You can't even goof off in it because the physics engine makes it unfunny to do so. You best be trollin'.

I think you have H2 confused with ODST?

(2 is by far the best game, aesthetically and story-wise)

(okay, ODST might be less linear, but the above stands)

No. Combat Evolved had a far superior story and campaign to Halo 2. There was a sense of desperation, since there were hardly friendlies and when there were, they were a fragile commodity to be guarded and preserved lest you be a lone. There was the mystery as to what exactly Halo was. Who were the Forerunners? Why did they build this place? The Covenant had purpose, they had drive, they had menace. Then let's not even forget one of the most memorable moments in video game history: the introduction of the Flood. The Flood were scary as shit in that game the first time you played it, and they were far scarier to fight before they had a stupid, slimy flower start talking for them.

Halo 2 was herping and derping all over the place; once you started playing the Arbiter, it started getting progressively worse. The levels themselves were garbage, as were the gunplay mechanics. Then there's the AI hacks, the bullocks that was the lack of an Earth-centric story, and the retarded damage sponge they called "Brutes." Brutes were in no way fun to fight in Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST, or Reach. As for the story, the whole Covenant Civil War was paper thin and not executed very well. Prophets getting butthurt that the Elites couldn't stop a super-soldier with nothing to lose causes them to betray their oldest allies? A Gravemind (how the fuck did he not get toasted by thousands of sentinels?). The revelation in Halo 3 that Truth was an innocently ignorant religious sociopath destroys the Covenant as an interesting faction in Halo 2. And the worst atrocity of the entire thing: Elites speaking English. Yay space lizardmen.

Can you tell how upset I am with Halo 2?

I have to agree with Warsaw.

Well, it's pretty obvious that I'm not going to convince you to repent with words so I'm not going to bother.

An Earth-centric story would have been shit(see ODST), and the Arbiter levels and accompanying cutscenes are the best in the series. Your views are unforgivable.
