With the remake of our dearly loved classic coming in November, 343i is obviously going to have to draw the line at what to change, keep, fix, etc.

If you were in charge of the final word on what stays and goes what would you say? I've seen people say not to add or subtract a thing, while another said to just package Reach's mulitplayer (lol).

Would you perhaps do something about the sometimes annoying long and hard level "The Library." Make vehicles hi-jackable or damageable? Do something about the redundant landscape of campaign?

?

Halo's a hell of a drug.

Just please don't add invisible walls. One of the great things I loved about Halo:CE was the ability to explore the hell out of a map. I loved getting on top of the buildings on Silent Chortagrapher, or getting the banshee early. That made the game fun in new ways.

Because there is really nothing else that needs to be done. Out of the entire Halo series, CE had the best sandbox balance, and considering the presence of the god pistol that is saying a lot.

There is no need for changes to gameplay, point in fact that is one of the reasons I don't want them to release it with XBL MP. It was never intended for XBL play, and as such they would have to make some adjustments, but at that point it's not even the same game anymore.

  • 05.02.2011 12:57 PM PDT

I want them to basically give it xbox live, and that's it. If they change alot of it with stuff from our lowly, dying, modern game world, they'll surely ruin it.

  • 05.02.2011 3:03 PM PDT

As people have said, just updated graphics. The glitches and ways to get out of maps etc, were what made this game amazing. I really hope they don't go too far with it.

I know what the ladies like. -Sgtma A. Johnson

I say they should use all the elite, brute, grunt, and jackel varients like in Reach plus all the new Covenant weaponry and human weaponry for that matter, but like the other people said, just having this on Live would be worth the price.

Philiops are not Chosen, Nor are they made; They are Born and Trained by Life, Created for Victory, Chosen by Destiny, Philiops Never Die They are simply Missing In Action. Noble-Ops

I would have no problem with updated graphics and updated sounds, with maybe some occasional tweaks here and there. (I wouldn't mind having the shotgun in earlier maps).

In the end? as long as it still feels like Halo? I'm fine with whatever fixes or improvements they make.

R.I.P. Halo 2

Graphical update and support for LAN with 16 Xbox's instead of only 4. If they can find a way to implement Xbox LIVE while still keeping the gameplay and physics exactly the same, then I'm for that too, but that is it.

Even then, only to a degree. I don't want to play CE in full blown Reach graphics.

I mean, CE's graphics aren't bad to begin with.

In case you haven't played Halo PC, the latency is awful. It's unbearable for me. They would have to recode everything in order to fix the latency. And if they recode everything, it could potentially change how the game feels as far as physics goes.

And as for Master Chief, I don't want anyone messing with the Halo 3 ending without Joe Staten's involvement.

  • 05.02.2011 11:07 PM PDT

they sholed have a map that lets you forge all of the vehicles in the gams because they need to add somthing biger and beter than the classic game.

  • 05.03.2011 4:03 AM PDT

I would like the pistol to be nerfed a bit.
(1 bullet to kill a hunter is a bit stupid)
But if they put armor abilities or reticule bloom,
or if they remove invisible walls and fun glitches.
I would cry :(

343 dont need to change much tbh.
The need to add multiplayer though, as this will make the game more viable and heve more replay value.

Ithink if bungie did a remake of the halo campain it would be great with improved gameplay ,graphics and gameplay. Halo was a great game and way ahead of its time ,but time moves on and its been overtaken so if there is a remake a its not a billion dollars you can be sure ithat im gonna get it.The online play would be just like reach though, im not saying thats bad ,macthmaking on reach is great ,butg the remake would have to have that "feeling" that your masterchief once again.

well thats my opinion anyway.

It was supposed to have xbox live, but microsoft couldn't launch it in time.

Halo's a hell of a drug.

Okay I started playing Halo CE again yesterday after not having touched it since Halo 3 came out. Wow. Not what I remembered. To all those saying just update the graphics, you people are out of your minds. Go play it if you haven't.

The maps are really small. Make them larger.
Plasma Grenades take longer to explode and don't feel as accurate. Bring the physics from Reach into this game.
Enemy AI is really dumb. This definitely needs to be tweaked. Never realized how good Halo 3 and Reach AI was till yesterday.
Scorpion takes longer to reload. Bring all the vehicles and weapons up to current speed. I do like how the Halo CE Scorpion turns and slides though. It is way easier to drive. Same with the hog.
Make Sarge a more important character.
More bots. What I mean is, when the game starts and Sgt Johnson is talking to the troops he's talking to like 10 guys. It would be cool to see him talking to a squad of men.

Things I'd keep.
Marine AI seem more aggressive. Daddy likes.
Keep the scenarios of the story, but it wouldn't hurt to change the maps more. For example: on Maw, make it feel like the environment is more lived in. Updating the graphics won't do this. The developers would need to show different aspects of the ship, like crew quarters.
I like the ammo count. 120 rounds for a pistol. Awesome. 4 grenades for each type. Love it.
I like the dialog, but update it.

This game was limited by the technology, so the remake shouldn't be.

  • 05.03.2011 9:07 AM PDT

BAH-WEEP-GRANA-WEEP-NINI-BONG?

Only in terms of Campaign level design, I hope the maps are 90% identical. The remaining 10% should be new rooms or paths.

Vehicles should be hijackable.
Weapons should be exchangeable.
No AA's.
Improved enemy and computer AI.
Ammo count and grenade stock should remain the same.

I'd like to see customizable armor for Spartan's and Elite's too.

Not sure where you dug up that bit of fiction, but over the years that people have been asking for CE on XBL multiple Bungie employees have commented on the threads explaining that CE was never intended for XBL, and as such would need to be remade in order to function on XBL. Basically explaining that it wasn't as simple as many people thought that it would be.

The majority of your issues with CE aren't based on things that were hindered by technology at the time, they are based on preference. Not trying to insult you, but there is really no need to make changes that are only driven by people wanting the game to play like it was developed in 2010.

After thinking on this for 30 seconds, I have come to the following conclusion.

X-Box Live capacity should be included, but only if headshots are removed. Make people earn their kills.

If I can hold the Red Teleporter Hill on Blood Gulch for 5 minutes with an assault rifle and frags, you guys can get a kill with a pistol.

That's a new one...

I agree that some balancing and minor changes should take place, namely to decrease the repetitiveness of th campaign and multiplayer things such as jacking and vehicle damage.
