Subject: What Do You Want in Halo CE HD - The Remake of Combat Evolved

I breathe BR, not kidding homie.

i dont want a 1-50 leveling system, the thing about a remake, is that it has to be very similar to the original, if not the same, i think mattchmaking multiplayer would be gr8, but going to take it 1-50 kinda strays too far off of what made halo ce, halo ce ya kno?

4 player online co-op.

And screw graphics. They should take advantage of the 360's power to enable co-op freeroam on Halo, SC and TB.

I hope they stay faithful to CE. I don't want AA's or bloom in the remake. Also no brutes. Can't wait for the return of the Flood.

1: New graphics.
Just a good visual overhaul that will still have the clean characteristics of the Halo but brought into the HD era. Also: new character models etc would be great. A bit more variation in Grunts, Jackals, Elites and Hunters wouldn't hurt one bit.

But the Flood especially needs to get a more creepy overhaul if you ask me. Make them more grotesque etc.

2: Keep gameplay intact.
I know, and we should all realize that too!, that some things need to be fixed. For instance: the Pistol in multiplayer. That one has to be nerfed a bit. Controls of vehicles should be less floaty, boost etc should be added to Covie vehicles.
Maybe have something to make The Library less frustratingly boring. AI needs to be updated, just like physics.

3: Full multiplayer support.
Give me online co-op. Give me the classic Halo maps with full Matchmaking support. No transferability of Spartans to campaign tho! But a bit of a custimization for multiplayer Spartans would be good. Kind of like in Reach but with more options (backpacks, boots, individual armor part coloring, more visor colors etc)

4: Maybe introduce some elements of The Flood.
Remember how in the book The Flood, Chief was hunted by an Elite named Zuka Zazamee and his Grunt Yayap? They were actually in Halo CE already, but make them more visible this time. Like on Silent Cartographer in the room with the invicible Elites, have Zazamee being more visible and him fleeing etc.
Kind of like how they did with the Zealots in Reach but a little bit better. His story wouldn't have to be explained thoroughly tho!

5: Screw 1-50 system.
Halo CE never had a ranked system, don't introduce one. Matter of fact: don't even add a ranking system of any kind. Just let players unlock armor parts etc, but don't add ranking.

Indeed the best way to go is to give the game an overall visual ovarhaul and add some fancy-pants phisics engine BUT don't touch the core gameplay (I.e don't add stuff that wasn't in CE to begin with like Brutes). Online coop is a must as well as some nice remastered versions of the old CE multi maps (maybe add some other maps from the other games but for the love of God keep the classics).

I honestly wouldn't change anything except for improved graphics and possibly an added co-op or matchmaking. That's honestly it. I'm worried that this game is going to totally change from what the original game was and end up a different game with familiar levels and designs.

  • 02.05.2011 6:41 AM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

No ranks whatsoever.

I am a practicing traditional Catholic.

I want X-box Live with matchmaking, flood firefight (someone else's original idea), HD graphics + 360 controls, a more indepth story (based around The Flood book) and the ability to play as Elites in multiplayer.

  • 02.05.2011 8:07 AM PDT

I am the PHILOSORAPTOR!

I swear, they better not change the Assault Rifles damage, or somebody's gettin a broken face.

  • 02.05.2011 8:11 AM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

I actually want all the character models to be exactly the same. They all need to be Mark V. Only differences should be colors.

  • 02.05.2011 9:15 AM PDT

Here to end the borrowed time you've all been living on.

Well I for one wouldn't mind significant changes as long as there's not retcon, I mean, come on, there is absolutely no reason to just keep it the same - if you don't like it you can still play the original

  • 02.05.2011 9:25 AM PDT

i'd just want better graphics for single player.

multiplayer: ability to play as elites, more customization, emblems, custom games and theatre.

also maybe achievements |D

This is an remake. They graphics are being boosted to Reach or perhaps a little lower status. Besides, I just want them to keep the AI the same. Halo CE elites were the best in my opinion.

Halo is one of the most important part of my life.

I just hope they dont screw it.

There was Bloom on CE actually.

Just better graphics and Skirmishers to replace the black Jackals (hey, technically they are still just Jackals).

halo ce hd with only AR, pistol, shotgun, needler, plasma rifle, plasma pistol, =FAIL

I want them to keep Cortana's unnecessary commentary:

Updated graphics. More Spartan detail. Matchmaking co-op.

Matchmaking co-op campaign was said to be one of the things that is being included according to joystiq. Graphics are going to be improved. Most likely not Reach status but possibly in a level inbetween 3 and Reach. This isn't a God of War HD. It's actually remaking the game.

"I'm sorry man, I don't even know why I got in on this side... SHOTGUN!!!"

I'd really like if they slimmed down the spartan models. In the original, they were very chunky; in Halo 3, the legs were too long and large compared to the upper torso; and in Reach, the spartan has short arms and thick thighs... Halo 2 got it right for the most part with proportion...

Other than that... Make the flood more frightening and add more gore! (Those plasma shots should literally burn through humans >:])

EDIT: NO ARMOR ABILITIES... And none of Reach's targeting system... The previous Halo's targeting system was fine.
Keep the controls the same, and just leave Overshields and Camo...

Speaking of camo, how about camouflage paint jobs over the armor instead of basic colors? Nothing too complex, or "CoD-Style." Just something like a camouflage watermark that lightly covers the armor, and is influenced by primary color.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

I want the sandbox and weapons to be the same.

This. just this and add more things that were should have been in or were in the book.

No new weapons or anything like that.

After reading this news I immediately went and played through Halo CE, so I could comment as honestly as objectively as I can.

Halo was... still is a great game. I'd rather play it over Halo 3 or ODST, and the campaign story beats Reach over and over again with a wet fish.
But it is also repetitive and just cannot stand up against modern games in terms of graphics and overall gameplay. Fun, but lacking in AI, AA and any sort of tactical approch to the missions.

Soo, I whole heartedly welcome this remake. Sure, it won't be the original CE, but it's not trying to be, it's overhauling it to bring it into line with the rest of the games, up to Reach's gameplay standard with the original great story to back it up.

IMHO, it will rock!
