Before you click 'Report' forty times, I want you to read this.
While a Halo: CE Remake has not been confirmed, I think that it is coming, and it is going to run off of Reach.
Let me explain: If the remake is to happen, it will very likely be DLC. Why? Frankie O' Connor has said that there will be no new Halo games this year; he did not, however, say anything about DLC.
If this remake was to exist and did run off of Reach, I believe it would have its own spot on the main menu along with Campaign, Firefight, Forge, and Theater.
The remake would likely not be a full game. I would think that it would only include Campaign (in HD) and theater mode.
Anything from theater mode would be tied into the Reach files, much like Halo 3 ODST to Halo 3.
The remake itself would likely cost more than $20 in Microsoft points. Having the game as DLC will cause many people to pick up their copy of Halo: Reach and play it again. This would make a ton of money, so long as they don't change much.
While I do not have much proof of this supposed remake, I do believe it will be released on the 10 year anniversary of Halo's launch, November 15.
There may also be further DLC with the original CE maps. They would be usable in Reach Forge and Matchmaking.
The two games, Reach and the remake, would be intertwined. They would run on the Reach disc, as I have already explained.
The Campaign itself would, in my opinion, be slightly changed from the original. There may even be an extra level or two bridging the gap between Halo Ce and Halo 2. This would also leave room for a Halo 2 remake in 3 more years.
I think there would be limited encounters with Brutes and maybe one encounter with Drones. Engineers would also be in the missions they were originally supposed to be in in the original. The flood would also be updated to include Pure Forms from Halo 3. The only remnants of armor abilities would be Sprint. Most of the weapons would remain, but I would expect some of the following changes: inclusion of the Carbine/ Needle Rifle, addition of the spiker and/or brute shot if Brutes are in the game, faster grenade explosion times, longer shotgun range, usable wraiths and usabble Fuel Rod guns, weaker pistol, inclusion of the DMR and/or Battle Rifle, addition of the Falcon/ Hornet, addition of Revenant and/or Spectre, and reappearance of Night Vision and Flashlight. Textures would use the Reach Engine, and would therefore be much more appealing than the original.
Keep in mind: as the author of this post, I do not support all of these ideas even though I created them.
Oh yeah, this is related to Halo: Reach because it would be an add-on, so don't say it is unrelated
Please discuss below. Keep it clean.
