I was really looking forward to this, but this looks shit.

Looks very cheaply done, just stealing assets from reach that don't belong, like using army models for marines.

No game play tweaks to campaign, lame.

Multiplayer is just halo reach with "new" maps, double lame.

Could of been so good, very very disappointed.




Will still buy though. :unsure:

C'mon man I don't go around stating COD is shit, please keep people interesting in the topic to it only or it turns into a competition into what game is better and I thought we weren't into getting "The Win" out of these topics but instead "The Game", which where us interested in it can talk about it properly and not have so much spam as some may call it. Thanks, any questions or views about this please private msg me to keep the topic clean :D.

It apparently has a feature where you can flick back to the original graphics with just the hit of a button. That would be interesting to see.

Also has Firefight. Big thumbs up from me!

Of all the Halo games, I still remember having the most fun with the original. Apart from the levels that are just corridors of the same bloody room over and over again, the outdoor levels were brilliantly designed, and Legendary was an awesome struggle. Playing co-op on Legendary with my mates was what got them on board the Xbox bandwagon and I'd be keen to give that another tarted up run.

Yeah but the firefight is just Reach stuff, has nothing to do with Halo CE.

It's one new map for firefight bro, they're selling one extra for 800mp with the map pack if your that keen.

It's too little if you ask me. Recycle assets for a "remake" and recycled multiplayer from the last game.

One map??? Why bother?

I wouldn't buy the thing for Firefight, but I definitely have more fun with that mode than any of the other multiplayer options that involve rude fuckwits with mics.

I have fond, very very fond, memories of grenade launching warthogs on the silent cartographer. I really hope they still let you do that.

I hope they do a hi def release of halo 2 as well, then I can finally play all three core titles back to back with decent graphics and without borders. Going back to 1 or 2 on a modern widescreen/hi def screen sucks, and playing halo 2 on PC just isn't the same.
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

343 Industries has said folks will be able to switch easily between Halo Anniversary and Reach thanks to both games using the same image.

Speaking with Alex Donaldsonfor VG247 at Microsoft’s Play Day event in Colonge, Anniversary’s executive producer Dan Ayoub said the maps in the game will be exportable.

“We decided to use the Reach engine specifically for Halo Anniversary so people can play between games, so if you’re on Reach and I’m on Anniversary we can play Multiplayer together,” he said.

“If you’ve got Reach and you don’t pick up Anniversary – and I don’t know why you’d do that – you can get it as DLC. But if you’ve got Anniversary you’re gonna be able to download it to your drive and that way if you’ve got the Reach disc in you can play the multiplayer on the Anniversary maps as well.”

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary launches on November 15 on 360.

Interesting way of avoiding, or at least mitigating, the split in the MP player base.
