For those of you who haven't heard the news, it's looking like there may be a Halo CE remake. The article says that it will not be a graphical update, but rather a complete overhaul with a new engine and everything.

Now I know a lot of people, myself included, are disappointed by this news. The game is only 10 years old. Hardly old enough to warrant a remake. But my question to you is this. If it comes out, will you buy it and why or why not?

Me? I'll have to wait and see. Part of me wants to boycott just because it seems like a misuse of Bungie's masterpiece. But another part of me thinks that it could be pretty cool. Halo CE online wouldn't be a bad thing. That being said, since it is a remake of a game that resides in a lot of people's library, I don't think they can get away with charging full price.

It hasn't been confirmed until 343 or microsoft say it is.

true, but a lot of people seem to think its happening.

A lot of people think there was a second gunman on the Grassy Knoll, there's no evidence either way.

But I'll work under the assumption that it s confirmed. If that's the case, given that I've never heard of the company I'm not really sure if I'd like to see this happen or not.

It better be on PC or I swear I will just FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Well then think of it as a hypothetical question.

If they make it, I'll but it. I'd like to see the well loved old locations in full next-gen graphics + they could incorporate the story elements from The Flood book and add more depth to the story. On the other hand, if they ruin it...

How creditable is Joystiq, anyways?

  • 02.04.2011 11:13 AM PDT

I consider myself well versed in Halo franchise so changing the story line up will not interest me at all. I will only buy if it supports online multiplayer. I still play the game a few times a year. In tradition of Halo CE, we still have an annual lan party and this game always comes out. I still have the four copies, one of which I stood in line at wallyworld for hours to get on launch day.

I hope they do it right and don't try to redesign the wheel.

When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

Seriously, whoever makes it is going to be under serious pressure. I don't want one damn thing to be changed. Upgrade the textures, yes, upgrade model visuals, yes, change any 3D geometry or the way the AI worked, hell NO!

I've been playing Halo CE literally, since day one. I don't want them to mess up the best game of that decade. If I go through that campaign, and if there is even one second where I do not I think this is just like how it was 10 years ago, it will already be a failure in my mind.

Same with multiplayer. I don't want them to fix any button glitches, teleporter killing, throwing the flag on Sidewinder through the gate, or anything else that made multiplayer fun. Just keep all the same levels, even the ones from Halo PC, upgrade the textures, upgrade the engine, don't fix any of the button glitches, just keep it the same. Anything else and I will be extremely disappointed. They should of just left it the way it was.

Its like Microsoft to take on 3rd partys to handle little money hording projects, they did the same with halo wars. i cant complain, a remake will be good, Halo CE was Legendary but its hard to go back to those graphics :P

It also frees up 343 to work on the next game involving master chief :P

Marley: next time try to be a little for inconspicuous.
John: What do you mean?
Marley: John, we grow lots of gear, right?
John: Yeah loads...
Marley: So try not to come back with a wasted girl and a packet of fertilizer!

I think they would need some fairly big improvements without changing any major aspects of them game to charge full price.

I highly doubt that I'll purchase it. I'm no mindless drone for the franchise, I'm not going to buy it just because it has "Halo" on it. It would have to be a legitimately excellent remake, which I personally find highly doubtful.

Er... Ensemble was not just a third party company, they were one of the most accomplished RTS develpers of the past decade. Age of Mythology and Age of Empires were fantastic, for a console RTS Halo Wars was very good.

the comeback kid

if the game is remade, it better be awesome cause people don't just want it remade, they want it to be just like thet remember it but with new awesome features Halo has now(forge, theater mode, 4 player co-op, and Firefight). I mean, i'll buy it anyway if its just like Halo CE from back then, but they need to get these features in it as well

Im not saying it wasnt, halo wars was an amazing piece of gaming history aswell as an amazing add on to the halo franchise, it tried something not many dev's would dare and it succeeded, hell people on here want a sequal!

If i went back in time to before halo wars and pitched to microsoft the idea of a console RTS, theyd tell me i was mad! :P And not just because ill be telling them about the kinect being "The future of gaming" :P

I just dont trust these "Sabre" guys, im not a timeshift fan, but if 343 will be on the case, and all these guys are doing is what theyre told, then it can be a good piece to the franchise and free up the rest of 343 to let us know where mister chief's gotton to!

How do I shot Web Gun???

All I want is a more terrifying force from the Flood. Like having the designers take notes from the Mona Lisa and make the Flood presence so fearful you cant help but respect them.

I would get it for sure. I loved Halo CE, and with better graphics and matchmaking, it would be even better ^_^
