Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.
The PC edition was pretty laggy. Most of us have not played Halo CE on any sort of online service so remaking it is a pretty logical decision and the fans obviously want it. I'm surprised it took this long, I don't know who wouldn't shell out for this.
Graphics aren't a big deal to me. They're fine as is, maybe a general touch-up/fresh coat of paint here and there (mainly in the level Halo, to fix some funny hill-lines and give it real sunlight). It wouldn't feel like CE if it was on Reach graphics. Keep all the player/enemy models the same, all guns the same, the environments pretty much the same, etc.
Obviously we need online play. With some kind of matchmaking, however primitive. With ranks, the Halo 3 system would do fine. Have ranked and social playlists. And online campaign, obviously. Forge I don't care about, the Reach forge is more than enough for me. Maybe be able to port custom edition maps over (I have none since I never owned that), though I can see some logistic issues with that.
Bring everything over from the PC version. Fuel Rod, Flamethrower, multiplayer Banshee, the PC maps. Aside from those keep all the original weapons/vehicles. No new stuff. Not even driveable wraiths.
Wouldn't be opposed to having a couple of new maps as well as long as the old ones are kept. Bring Paradiso over maybe? I get a real Halo CE vibe from that map every time I play it. Maybe some other post CE classics/favorites too (Lockout, Midship, High Ground)?
Fix the weapon-in-limbo thing where dropped weapons would twirl in the geometry and make all sorts of noise. Other than that keep all the glitches. :)
Give us medals!! The Halo 3 medal system would be great, I don't like how you get a medal for everything in Reach. The running riot sniper-sword-shotgun medals are cool but other than that no.
Bump the campaign difficulty up just a bit. Or make a new one above legendary (mythic?). Having owned the game for so long I can beat pretty much any level on legendary with my eyes closed, with maybe one legit death per level (couple of fluke deaths here and there). Time for a new challenge.
Skulls would be cool. One per level. Although most of us know these levels like the back of our hand so finding them wouldn't be too hard (hopefully they would take this into account).
Achievements too. An achievement for beating each campaign level on the highest difficulty, bunch of others. Maybe 43 would be a good number?
All I got for now.
