Subject: bungie should re-release halo ce

i have to agree it would be great. However, if i had to choose between Bungie spending man power on CE rather than something new it's an obvious choice. just go pick up an old copy and enjoy it for what it was.

Wort, wort, wort!

I dont really think so, I mean CEs graphical level is still quite good, they just made other two Halos SHINY. And shine isnt everything, cause all the old textures, the armor, well I dunno, it just smells like clasic, and clasic shouldnt be messed with.

what do you think?

I think that your idea:
A) Is good in theory
B) Has been brought up a million other times
C) Is usually authored/suggested by people who have know idea how video games work and how hard it is to make them.

orignial campaign with a graphical upgrade

I almost laughed. Can you please define graphical update? What is Bungie supposed to do, hit the graphical update button? No, it's a lot more complicated than that.

You can't just copy and paste the geometry into Halo 3. Why? Because then it's not Halo 3. Go look at Chill Out. Then go look at Cold Storage. CS makes the geometry on CO look like a bunch of boxes - that's how detailed it is. And what about textures? Xbox 360 and Halo 3 are in an HD environment. There are a million other issues like weapon placements. Will it not have the entire Halo 3 sandbox? Then what about the new weapons - the Halo 3 MA5C isn't the same as the Halo 1 MA5B? The bottom line is that it's not that easy. You can't just do a 'graphical update'.

Good idea, and I agree - I would certainly buy it. I think it would be great as well, it's just not as feasible as a 'graphical update'.

Besides some grammar mistakes and spelling errors in ^this^ I really like this guys thinking. I would buy it, yes. Although, redoing a game that everyone has played and they will know what to expect is kind of not what any Gamedevoloper has done. I mean one of the first games to be updated would have been Doom because that was one of the biggest hits ever! Plus if they are going to redo a game completely they might as well change the story line up a bit and add other stuff to it to make it look better and then change the name or make it a sequel or an add on just to get more peoples attention.

seriously, let's say they do go though the trouble to re-release Halo:CE and you think oh hell yah, you go to gamestop and see it sitting in a brand new case on the shelf with that shiny 360 logo on it, as you walk up to the game something catches your eye in the bargain bin. oh, wait that looks familiar, it's Halo:CE. Now you have a dilenma $60 or $15 for the same game, both play on the 360.


So which do you choose??

Just wait for Halo: Reach. You will most of the stuff from Halo 2 mixed in with Halo CE.

  • 06.27.2009 12:10 PM PDT

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

I pretty much just want Halo 1 to be able to connect to 16 Xbox's per LAN game instead of only 4, that would really help with Xbox parties.

  • 06.29.2009 9:37 AM PDT

Check out my youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/ultratog1028

i would buy it. however it would probably look feel and even play different.
the vehicle system has change majorly (halo 1 had no boarding, health for covenant vehicles, indestructible human ones, no speed boosts and so much as touch an enemy vehicle and you die.

not to mention health systems, weapon balance, dual wielding, AI programming, weapon swaps, AI weapons (Fuel Rod Cannon sentinel beam and Energy Sword's Dead Man's Switch, Hunter's Fuel rod cannon) AI Health (flood mainly) and banshee flight controls.

all those plus more (i'm just naming off the top of my head) would need to be changed in addition to the graphics update.

it would be making an entirely new game.

now a halo 2 overhall would be easier, (but still very hard)

halo:ce's story was awesome. and if they changed it, it would make the other halo games' stories (crappy as they may be) inaccurate.

"Wow! It's like the money-shot is on MY face!"

I would be happy for an exact copy (No to very, very little graphical change), but with XBL capabilities, achievements, maybe some random skulls (skulls are by choice, so it obviously wouldn't affect the campaign if you, ya know, turned them off). Obviously only like $30 since it would be essentially the same game, at least in my version.

I started Starori games in 2011.

No one has the right to take the life of another.

The only way I will buy this is if they re-release it with improved graphics and an addition of multiplayer. Also some achievements wouldn't be bad.

  • 07.02.2009 9:30 AM PDT

chris2pher

i would buy it

  • 07.02.2009 10:51 AM PDT

What if all they did was changing the viewport to be widescreen and adding xbox live support. This could be a Live Arcade title (like Battlefield 1943) so would still be like 15$. I think this is a good idea and would buy it day one.

Oh, and if it was Live Arcade you would get 200 points of achievements too!

It's not going to happen. Halo is a massive game, and Bungie would have to spend a lot of time, resources and money getting it modified and released as an arcade title. Due to the way they built the Xbox version of the game it cannot be updated, meaning if they wanted to for example add achievements, they'd have to rebuild the entire game. And if Bungie did decide to do this, it would not be $15, it'd be a lot more than that.

If it happened I'd be ecstatic and I'd pre-order it as soon as I could. But it almost definitely won't happen.

Why would anyone still be playing Halo 1 anymore? Halo 3 is essentially the same as Halo 1 when it comes to the basics. The campaign in Halo 3 is pretty much a remake of Halo 1, especially the last level.

If they re-released Halo 1, it wouldn't sell because everyone would be busy playing Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. I really wouldn't be talking if I were you. You never even played Halo 3 online before. I doubt if you even have Halo 3 or an Xbox 360 for that matter.

If you can't get Halo 3, then don't assume it automatically sucks and that the only Halo game you have (halo 1) is the best. There's a reason why no one plays Halo 1 anymore. Because Halo 3 is out.

If the whole world really like Halo 1 the best like you imply, then why is everyone playing Halo 3 right now? Shouldn't they be doing lan parties again in Halo 1 or playing online in the PC version? If people really like Halo 1 better, then Bungie would have a good reason to re-release Halo 1. But since only a few hundred at the most say they want Halo 1 again, that's not enough. You'd need support from the entire Halo Community and you know that will never happen.

If Bungie released Halo 3: ODST and a Halo 1 Remake on the same day, you know which one would sell better. The newer game with better features. So just forget about seeing a remake of Halo 1 again. You know it will never happen.

The closest you can get to a remake is Halo 1 PC which already has everything you guys asked for. Just take it and be happy with it.

Yes. 3 is pretty much the same as 1.

There are similarities. Nothing in Halo 3 is a remake. The game engine and mechanics are too different to allow true remakes.

If they re-released Halo 1, it wouldn't sell because everyone would be busy playing Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. I really wouldn't be talking if I were you. You never even played Halo 3 online before. I doubt if you even have Halo 3 or an Xbox 360 for that matter. I have every Halo game, including Halo 2 LE and Halo 3 Legendary Edition. I have over a thousand games logged on Halo 3 online. I still prefer Halo: CE because I like to use tactics that don't involve your entire team working together consistently all game. And I hate all the bull-blam!- associated with Halo 3 online.

If you can't get Halo 3, then don't assume it automatically sucks and that the only Halo game you have (halo 1) is the best.Nothing wrong with this, but he might actually have both.
There's a reason why no one plays Halo 1 anymore. Because Halo 3 is out. There are a few more, actually.
1. Halo 3 is out, like you said.
2. Halo 2 and Halo 3 have online play.
3. Halo: CE PC version is very laggy.
4. No matter how good a campaign is, it does get stale after a while.
5. Halo 3 has more detail, better graphics, more gimmicks & features, etc.

If the whole world really like Halo 1 the best like you imply, then why is everyone playing Halo 3 right now? Shouldn't they be doing lan parties again in Halo 1 or playing online in the PC version? If people really like Halo 1 better, then Bungie would have a good reason to re-release Halo 1. But since only a few hundred at the most say they want Halo 1 again, that's not enough. You'd need support from the entire Halo Community and you know that will never happen. Nobody said "the whole world". People play Halo 3 online because it is online, and doesn't take weeks of planning. That, and the reasons above. And that is true, there is not enough of a market to make a remake feasible.

If Bungie released Halo 3: ODST and a Halo 1 Remake on the same day, you know which one would sell better. The newer game with better features. So just forget about seeing a remake of Halo 1 again. You know it will never happen. Can't argue. A lot of factors involved here, but you're correct in this.

The closest you can get to a remake is Halo 1 PC which already has everything you guys asked for. Just take it and be happy with it. This is true.
