no. nonono

Bungie still remembers the game that got them where they are now, the first in the Halo series, Combat Evolved. Hardcore fans (us) have had our wishes granted. The CE pistol has made its return for Reach, and I will be the first to say it looks badass. Hopefully it is just as effective as in CE.

Bungie were also quoted saying something along the lines of "We are trying to make this similar to Reach".

So good news. Thoughts?

They also told us to hold on to our PC keys. I'm thinking for a bit o' free DLC.

You just lost the game.

It's actually a H:CE/H:3 hybrid. While it holds the name of the Halo 3 pistol, it feels more like the CE pistol. Hopefully it's awesome.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I have high hopes for Reach. It looks like Bungie is really trying to bring out the best in Halo for their last game. I have a feeling it'll resemble CE in many ways. Not only with the pistol, but with the shielding system and maybe the way you move too. Also, the inability to dual wield should put the plasma weapons back at the level they were at in CE.

I cannot wait to use that pistol. I guarantee that it won't be anywhere near as powerful as the Halo 1 pistol though.

I do have my doubts about multiplayer though. Mainly the armor abilities bull crap. Also the new assassinations don't seem like they would be very good for fast paced gameplay.

Quit while your behind.

Fact: Reach still wont be anything like CE. You should be able to tell that just by looking at the Vidoc. That said, it will still be the closest Halo game to CE yet in the series, which is indeed a good thing. Sage was not there during Halo CE's development, so he cant properly understand how to make the game play like CE. For example, the new AR looks ugly and overdone, and the amount of rounds it can hold has dropped even further from Halo 3's model, which is moving even further away from the amazing Halo CE original. All they had to do was give the old AR a few more poly's, better quality textures and make it more accurate. There was no need for a total revamp, all that does is make it feel nothing like the original, which harms the feel of the game.

I am looking forward to reach, it will be a great game and I cant wait to play the multiplayer Beta, but dont expect a reskinned Halo CE, it will be far from it. The only way that Halo CE will be improved is if I join 343 Studio's and help them make it.
