Subject: Combat Evolved Remake Dump

Hear me out, chaps, I have a daring proposal.

On this page alone, I have counted five Halo:CE remake threads. Heaven knows what threads they may be pushing out. There are too many of these threads, and something needs to be done.

So, if you're dying to spend your tuppence on the subject of a HD remake, for god's sake post it here so something else can be on the front page.

My idea would be to not make any changes that would intrude on the original gameplay. HD textures could be used, but the shapes of everything would stay the same, and the weapons would have the exact same stats - if such things as the anti-air AR and the pistol's insta-kill on Hunters went AWOL, that would be a deal breaker for me.

As much as I regret making one of these remake threads, if people just stick their ideas here and begone life would be a tiny yet extremely satisfying bit better.

I made something like this.

More along the lines of "not gonna happen", though. Would be nice if they'd listen.

I doubt it's going to happen, but it's nice to dream.

Quit while your behind.

Halo 1 was almost perfect, but not quite. The assault rifle should have been more accurate, with a much smaller reticule so you could actually aim it. Basically, Halo 1's only problem was weapon variety. The sniper, pistol and rocket launcher were really the only useful weapons from a competitive standpoint. All the covenant weapons were next to useless. These other weapons need to be brought up to speed with the current staples in the Halo: CE arsenal.

Actually, I like it this way. It is extremely powerful short range if you know how to use it, and moderate at medium range.

Basically, Halo 1's only problem was weapon variety. *ahem* The lack of variety is a good thing something, IMHO. I'd much rather have an even playing field than a bajillion weapons as we see today. No DMR vs Needle Rifle or Sniper vs Beam Rifle or the like where one is always slightly better in most if not all situations.

The sniper, pistol and rocket launcher were really the only useful weapons from a competitive standpoint.Shotgun for close range. Plasma pistol or Rifle for medium range, they stun enemies. Especially useful against vehicles when you can't hit the driver.

All the covenant weapons were next to useless. Stun abilities, and the Plasma pistol shoots fastest in the game in addition to removing Overshields. Needler is an excellent way to prevent shields from recharging.

These other weapons need to be brought up to speed with the current staples in the Halo: CE arsenal.You mean the weapons they added in Reach, rendering Halo: CE low-tech?

Couldn't agree more. I'd much rather have weapons that are always worth picking up in some circumstances then 50% of weapons being duplicates of the other 50.

Also - commendations? I say yes, because they don't intrude too much and they add re-playability.

when life gives you lemons.. shut up and order pizza

A remake would be nice, but a re-release that works on new XBL would be the best thing possible I think.
