I want the pc maps

I didn't even think about this. The PC maps are amazing, I would love (understatement) to see them in the CE remake. Some custom-edition maps wouldn't be too shabby either.

Friends before pixels.

Oh my God.

It was confirmed.

YES! I always wanted it! YES!

This sounds great I just hope they don't change to much besides the graphics

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

I Cant wait to see the remake. In my opinion Halo: CE Is the best game in the series.

He may be talking about this. There has been a lot of talk about this magazine cover. "Gears of War 3 vs. Halo." "The ultimate 2011 showdown leads 32 pages of stunning shooters..."
I'm not sure when this magazine came out, but if anyone has it please fill us in.

"The Rescue of Pops Ghostly" veteran.

In my opinion, anything much more than a graphical facelift, XBL functionality, and correcting a couple of grief-laden glitches could result in a butchered masterpiece.

Keep:
Weapon nading (strategic/set-up breaker)
Fall damage (nullified with well-timed crouch)
Telefragging!
Vehicle physics
M6D Pistol (NO tweaking, just give it to us one more time!)
Backpack Reload (easy/useful/helpful)
Nades from chest
Double Melee (skillful, risk vs reward)
Plasma Grenade snuffing (skillful if executed)
Plasma Rifle stun
Flag physics

Fix/remove:
Rocket spin & misfire
Unlimited-rocket glitch
Off-host lag (if that'll be an issue)
Wall phasing (Unfair advantage on Sidewinder CTF)

Add:
XBL Functionality
Official Halo PC maps (no forge)
Glass barriers for MP (ONLY if it's toggle-able for customs)
Flamethrower (map default spawns, classic model/skin)

I'm sure I'm overlooking a thing or two here. For those that are iffy about including the button glitches back into the game - especially new players - just know that once you become familiar with them you'll wonder why the rest of the series didn't have them. None of them (that I mentioned) are game-breaking, and should strongly be considered; they are to Halo what circle/strafe jumping is to Quake. **Edit: They don't even play that much of a role, but equally as helpful nonetheless ;)

Yeah, i saw that a few days ago, but have anyone actually read it?
Could just be a stunt to sell magazines, that have happened before.

I'm kind of disappointed. Sure, the multiplayer should be awesome, but we all know the story. And graphics don't make a game. Take Minecraft for example. Many love it (including me), although it's graphics are not that nice.

I go play CE from time to time, and I don't think anything about the graphics.

It's like ODST. I feel that if they were to make an ODST 2, I would love it the most if they made it with ODST's same engine.

If they make this, I'd say it should probably not be 60 dollars.
Multiplayer will make this game amazing. But campaign, we all know the story. Hopefully they make a new campaign.

I actually had this when I played Halo PC a lot. It may still be on my old computer. I'd be perfectly fine with graphics being the only change in the remake, but I have a feeling that frame-rate lag would be a big problem if they only added more textures.

I really hope it's true, but this leak could be a fake. Last year there was a similar leak that said Halo HD would be shown at E3, but it never happened.

I get the feeling that it is too good to be true.

no. nonono

This still isn't a definite.

I agree, but I would also appreciate bigger polygon count. I wouldn't like the art style to be changed too much. Gameplay shouldn't be changed at all. Only thing that should be added is online multiplayer.

  • 06.01.2011 1:41 AM PDT

*Sips tea*

God I hope so.

I guess we'll know if its real or not in a week!

  • 06.01.2011 12:57 PM PDT

Perception is everything.

Whether it includes multiplayer is unknown, but it seems it will not include competitive multiplayer

I don't understand...why does everyone think competitive multiplayer isn't going to be included? That would be insanely stupid of them to remake the first Halo and not give it online multiplayer.

  • 06.02.2011 9:12 AM PDT

Please, no hurt! Me like Elites. Brutes stinky bad bad. Me stay here, make sure no Brutes come behind mighty Arbiter. Heh, heh... Eh?

Halo HD :o

I won't buy it if it doesn't have competitive multiplayer.

All I know is that this is the worst kept secret ever.

As for H4, I think we will see a teaser trailer.

Subject: Halo CE to be remastered in HD (Update #4)

Halo 2 was the greatest of the series, I never ventured to multiplayer because I never had Xbox Live for the original, plus I only got into it just before the release of Halo 3, so without a 360 and the game, it was pretty boring. But the Campaign is still as funny, scary and breath-taking as before.
I think this should be a new thing for the Halo series, considering the fact that Combat Evoled IS perfect as it is, but a new perspective of it would be great.
Plus in Reach there wasn't the Flood, so that should make something new for us at least. The campaign is still awesome, and just as right 343 should remake it after the prequal of Reach, why not? It makes sense. Maybe there'll be a Halo 4 (but I really doubt it, there's no where to fit it in), but Bungie have pulled it off before. Halo 3 (and ODST) came out of no where in my opinion and made no clear sense from picking either of them up and playing the storyline after a long time.

If there's no major changes, i.e.: there was no Battle Rifle/DMR or any of the other weapons distingtively new to Reach, the Spike Grenade was as quick to go as it was to be made, Brutes were introduced in Halo 2, and armour changes was newest after H'3 release.
The Forge and Firefight are also highly new, so unless they mix in some of that (OR leave it out), anything goes. The Combat Evolved remake is a brilliant idea and so soon should make even new Halo fans shiver in delight. 343 is an outsider to us and to Bungie; it's literally their game now.

As long as it's not £45, and with multiplayer achievements: it's the perfect game.
