If this is true mark my words they will screw this up.This just has fail written all over it.

Let CE rest in peace and stop trying to milk it.


A Halo CE remake will NEVER happen. And if by some chain reaction of desperation or lack of originality this game does happen the Halo CE "remake" will be a perversion of the original game and totally ruined.

When can I buy it?

Every Halo release has been going further and further into -blam!-. I'm not saying this remake will definitely be -blam!-, but looking at the past, I'm not confident in these games anymore.

It is a different game dev. but after 5 years of disappointment, it leaves many people dismayed.

As an aside - I take what I said back.

I would like them to add a few of the Marine missions. You play as a Marine, but the armour actually does something. You get to capture a base, go back to the Pillar of Autumn to get vehicles and supplies, and defend the home base against a massive Covenant assault.

In all likelihood, these would be unlockables for doing something special in the Campaign.

The only thing I am sketchy with about this, is that they can make it FULL CANON, while the other game still being canon too. It is hard to remake a game like this and still have the low amout of variety it had back in the day and still make it appeal to consumers.

RIP Halo 2

It'd be neat to see, I think.

If they do remake Halo CE, I hope they just make it look better, but do not change anything more.

I don't want to see new weapons or even assassination animations. I want it to be exactly like Halo CE actually was, but look nicer.

Although they could fix glitches, etc.

  • 01.03.2011 5:31 PM PDT

I think they should leave it alone!

Your resident explosives and heavy ordinance expert, at your service.

as long as they ONLY update the graphics, but leave everything else exactly the same, with the exception of XBL support.

I think the way bungie ended Halo Reach was definitely a hint that they were going to remake Halo CE. they had the Autumn in full HD glory and they remade Captain Keyes. and not a blocky cube man like before. :D and seeing the Halo instalation in Forge World also aided my hypothesis. I knew they couldnt let halo die. no matter how many times they say "this is our last Halo game.." they always make a new one. Bungie should never let halo die! its probobly the best FPS i've ever played. been playing since i was 8. and bungie, THANK YOU FOR NOT LETTING HALO DIE!!! :D

Only thing I like about the idea is that it would probably have LIVE and CE doesn't. CE is perfect the way it is and Reach sucks.


The Halo Combat Evolved for computer had online multiplayer. and the maps were REALLY COOL! :D hope they have those. and i hope u can port ur spartan over from Halo Reach to play online! :)

I understand your point that letting bungie or, for that matter 343 mess around with halo will be dangerous (look at halo wars). But I disagree that you would no longer be able to find the old copy's. I think that you are trying to relate this to a remake of a movie and that is why I understand your concern. You bring up the point that it should be left alone so that people could see that "You can see what the graphics. were like, how the game worked with a simple code, and how a story line has been carried out over the years." This game will be left preserved simply because millions own this game with more still downloading it off of xbox live market place. With more than five million copies sold worldwide as of November 9, 2005 that number has near doubled from then. There is no under supply of these games they are still sold and, once put on xbox live it won't be removed. The hardcore Halo CE owners will always be able to get there hands on a copy if needed or, bust out there own "Loved" disk and pop it in to the xbox. If you have concern for the game then you'd be open to the prospect of the recreation of the game so that the younger generation would have the chance to fall in love. Give them the chance that you had. If it was up to me I would try in the most to keep it the same no "new and improved storyline" or "bonus extra levels" the same as it was indented by Bungie. The difference? It's now in HD.

I 100% present agree with you and you idea of what should be done.

  • 01.07.2011 1:02 PM PDT

I would pay quadtruple for this game acculty I would pay any extent of cash for something as orgasmic as this

  • 01.07.2011 1:25 PM PDT

Waffles > Pancakes. End of story.
I <3 Bungie :)

I can't see this turning out well :(

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

New link.

According to the article, it'll launch during holiday season.

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?

Well, this sounds pretty good. Even if they mess up the multiplayer with the change of game engine, it'll at least be fun to go through the campaign again in updated graphics and online co-op.

I really hope they include Matchmaking as well. If they don't then it won't even be worth remaking. Unless they make a Server List. That would be good.

Campaign, Co-op, and even Firefight would all be most welcome.

Multiplayer however would ruin Reach, and I'm firmly in the 'Reach Fanclub', so I hope this doesn't have multiplayer because that would kill my favourite. :/

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

It will have MP, but it isn't using the Halo engine.

My website will be updated, soon hopefully. Check back, it will be sick.

The best new of all is that its rumored to NOT be on the Reach engine. Happy day.

Please do not send me group invites. If I were interested in your group, I would have already found it.

If it doesn't include online multiplayer, I don't really see the point. Improved graphics are nice, but it's not enough to persuade me to buy something I've already bought.

I wonder if there will be an updated PC version at some point too.

  • 02.04.2011 9:19 AM PDT

Wont hold up as well. Most probably wont feel as it did 10 years ago :(

Like that's such a loss.

I hope Microsoft understands the how holy Halo: Combat Evolved is to the Halo community, and all Xbox owners. It is unlikely that they will be able to pull it off without alienating the majority of the longtime, hardcore Halo fanbase. I was always under the impression that 343 would be personally developing future Halo games, not just overseeing them.
