Not yet. Halo CE's only 10 years old! It's too soon to be talking about remakes! Especially with all the new stuff going on in the Halo universe.

Well it wouldn't so much need to be a remake. It can still be the same game. I think it'd be good because there are some people who might not have a 360 that plays originals. To have that game put onto a 360 compatible disk would be good for them.

Plus, the achievements would be awesome. FTW.

We were somewhere around Barstow...

Halo 2 MP should be on XBLA.

  • 11.10.2010 8:58 PM PDT

that or it could be played on the same engine that runs halo:reach furthering your reach multiplayer experience

it'd be cool if they remade halo 1 and 2's campaign and added it as a DLC for Halo reach. Just charge like $20. It'd be cool to have the campaign plus it's not an entirely new game so you'd still be playing halo reach online. Just a thought.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Exactly. I'm not sure why everyone thinks 10 years old is old :/

Mention it again in 5-10 years and we'll talk.

Also, Halo 1 and 2 done in Reach's engine wouldn't work. Reach's engine was tailored to fit that gameplay style, and seeing as how Halo 1 gameplay =/= Halo 2's =/= Halo Reach's, it wouldn't work.

I put the laughter in manslaughter

I wouldnt mind them revisiting some stuff, say the black team mission would be really cool...

Hah, if only "ran on same engine as Halo Reach" was so easy. People tend to think that you can just copy from Halo 2 or whatever and paste into Halo: Reach. It's not that easy. Look at the level of detail in newer maps compared to older ones. (e.g., Cold Storage vs. Chill Out)

There are hundreds of more assets that need to be artistically constructed to meet the standards of a new game engine. And I'm sure there are another million difficulties that I'm completely ignorant about. Although I would love to see Halo 2 in everything it could have been (Just imagine Delta Halo + Regret if they were in Reach... it would be insane), given the past tendencies and behaviors of 343 Industries, I absolutely distrust them to tamper with such a fundamental and central facet of the Halo Universe.

We're not saying REMAKE them. We're saying RE-RELEASE them. Just on a 360 disk with achievements. They would still be the same games.

Who is John Galt?

on one hand I would LOVE to see CE in HD, but a part of me really loves the classic feels those outdated textures and horribly unbalanced weapons (Anyone else have a serious time deciding between carying the rockets or the pistol?) give the game today. A remake, particularly one designed for multiplayer, would strip these classic features I love when I boot up the old gal. A re-release exactly as it was, maybe even without online support, just the 2001 game that doesn't throw me offline when I put it in would be perfect in my book. Maybe my nostalgia pants are just a bit too high up tonight?

i do understand where youre coming from with this. my own stance is that though i do love nostalging everytime i fire the original up, but i personally would love to see it reworked on the 360 cuz think about this... the entire battle on halo can simply take place on Forge world, thus eliminating the ned to create an entire new world like someone had said previously when they were talking about 343 needing to recreate the game entirely.

In my opinion, no. I would like to have the games formatted so that i could party chat, but to remake to have the graphics and use the engine from Reach, i think that would ruin the games, because that's part of what made them those games. The achievements is a "meh" idea. But, at the same time, i'm biased because i don't like 343 and am not excited for their additions to Bungie's great world.

There's no need for re-made MP maps. Just the campaigns. Also needs more cowbell.

in Halo 2's case that would bring it to like 30 levels if you count cut ones

Well would you rather have a remake of Halo: CE, and Halo 2? Or would you rather have a new Halo title that lets you learn more info on the Forerunners, and what exactly happened to the Master Chief?

Definitely agree with this. I wouldn't play anything else until the servers get shut down.

I'd rather they wait a couple of years. Bit soon for re-makes and what now.

Just go play them on the PC. Halo2 has 1000 achievments on the pc cuz its linked to windows live.

Finding the love of my life, and moving house really screwed up my gaming orientated lifestyle.

It would be nice, but; not essential.
