Subject: Reasons why I don't want a CE remake.

"Shall we let the Flood consume our holy city? Turn High Charity into another of their wretched hives? No enemy has ever withstood our might. The Flood, too, shall fail."

-Prophet of Truth.

Keep in mind that I DO want a CE remake, these are just some reasons of why I don't.

Like all remakes they will usually change something that may hinder the positives of the game. They say they will only change the graphics, but I think this is what they will do.

Add a melee assist... I mean I don't want to be 5 feet away from a Grunt and press the melee button so I could lunge at him.... I personally liked the CE way where you ACTUALLY have to hit the object, no assist or nothing. This way also takes skill.

Make decal dissapear... Blood and Bullets started to dissapear after Halo 3 came out... I don't think decal can do much to cause a framerate issue... I liked sticking an Elite, then watching as 300 pounds of purple blood spray painted the wall. Also the bullets and plasma scars shouldn't dissapear either, it ruins a battle scene when they do.

Full Dynamic AI.... This is the dumb AI they will most likely put into the game. It's where the AI get to make their own choices, and we've all seen how that turns out. I personally thought CE's AI was the best out of all of them. They were smart, aggressive, and annoying.

Multiplayer map changes.... They are probably going to add/remove stuff in the maps... JUST KEEP THEM THE SAME!!! NO NEED FOR TWEAKS!!

The Flood.... I want to see flood bodies fly, not blow up into ten pieces. I hope they keep the noises too.

Vehicles.. The vehicle physics were the best in CE. They weren't numbed down like in other Halo games. And I missed the first person passenger view.... it was a blast feeling every bump and explosion while watching the enemy try and shoot you. They should also make the vehicles invincible. That was a classic in MP. Yes, that includes the tank since your exposed easily anyways.

Weapons... I'm hoping they keep every weapon the same. I don't want another 32 bullet per mag assault rifle that sounds like a woodpecker. I liked the weapons the way they were.

Again, these things may or may not happen, so don't take my word for it. These are just things I think they will do. You are free to start an arguement :)

I agree with every thing except the flood I would like a bitoff both rag doll and disintegration but that's a relatively small request.

To be honest I think they should have both matchmaking AND online host serving like how they got it on PC. These should just be servers where you jump in, have some fun, and leave whenever you want. You keep your rank but there is no way to level up. You just join someones server and play.

The only thing they need to change is graphics, ragdoll physics, and weapon spawns.
I think I can trust 343 to not change the good things about CE. Thats why Joystiq said 343 is keeping a watchful eye on the developers.

when does remake come out?

  • 02.16.2011 1:05 PM PDT

Hopefully Nov. 15, 2011, if they do make it, which im crossing fingers, toes and every other appendage that they do. WITHOUT CHANGING GAMEPLAY AT ALL. and just adding matchmaking.

Who is John Galt?

At first glance, the prospect of a CE remake sounded amazing to me. I mean, who wouldn't want a remake of one of their favorite games EVER? but the more I think it over, and as it becomes more and more real, I find--having playing through the game earlier today in fact--that I don't want a remake at all. A re-issue, like Half-Life Source (Which a lot of people did want to be a real remake and not just a re-release,which prompted fans to make their own) would be perfect (A CE that doesn't kick me offline) but there will never really be anything like digging up what is now a decade old disc and reliably putting it once more into your console's tray for a night of good times just like in fond memories of old. I think when the remake comes out, I'll enjoy it, but it just won't be the same no matter how faithful they are. Sorry for the text wall, but I grew up with CE and it holds a special place in my heart that I think no remake could ever capture.

TLDR: remake would be cool, but it could never recapture the beauty of the original, graphics and all

Totally agree about how CE AI was one of the most aggressive/smartest on the version 1 xbox, hell even to this day halo CE AI is better than most games that come out today.

K, first off, they better not release this November, cause Reach just Frickin came out, I mean, just look at Halo 3, there are seriously STILL people playing that, I think they are gonna do the same thing with reach and milk this sucker dry to the very end.

Second off, to answer Arbiter009, From what I've heard, they are making the game using THE SAME ENGINE AS REACH, Meaning that it's most definitely going to be a very different CE, I Imagine it as "HOLY -blam!-! HALO CE WITH REACH GRAPHICS!!!"
