Combat forms should also be more vulnerable to melees.

I agree 100% with everything you said except this. Flood was a joke in Halo 2 and 3 because they were too vulnerable to melee attacks. In Halo CE their invulnerablity to melee attacks was what made them fun to fight. You actually had to fight for your life if you shot the last round out of your shotgun, you couldn't just go and melee them.

Other than that, you made very good points and following them would give us a very good experience.
Well I'm not saying you make them like the brutes of Halo 3, who fell apart if you breathed on them. On legendary in H3, elites and humans take about 3/4 melees to kill, I think that's a good number.

If they were to make a Halo CE HD Remake and make it EXACTLY the same as the original, I'll just rent it.

If they make a few changes, fixes, tweaks here and there and work out some of the bug/glitches that's cool. Also, MP better have XBL Matchmaking, otherwise, again, I'll just rent it.

4 player co-op campaign with Public matchmaking would be nice. I would be happy with 2 player co-op matchmaking campaign. But XBL matchmaking is a must, otherwise, meh.

I played Halo CE to death when it first came out and while it is a great game, I don't see myself paying $60 for the EXACT same game, just with better graphics.

For me, at least, there were certain things about the campaign of Halo 1 that were annoying, things that were improved upon in the sequels.

First and foremost in my mind are Hunters and how they could be killed with one pistol shot. Do you really want Hunters to be as laughably broken in the re-release as in the original?

Another, smaller thing: health packs. It annoyed me how you automatically used them when you walked over them, even if you were only missing one bar of health.

Also, the handling of vehicles. Warthogs handled like their tires had no treads. Ghosts would go in the direction they were pointed, not the direction you were aiming.

See what I mean? I don't think we should ignore an entire franchise's worth of innovation for nostalgia's sake.

I agree with these points and also that vehicles should be destructible and should not splatter as easily. They should however splater more easily than in later games.

Another thing that could be fixed would be to make the scenery in the library less repetetive. maybe some windows and high vaulted halls which could be contrasted with narrow flood infested ones. Just a thought.

Although I would like every ecounter in the original game to be kept I think that it would be a good idea to add encounters between them which could include things like brutes and revenants that only appeared in later games.

Also we need an enemy that is like the Reach elite ultras on heroic with mythic, tilt and tough luck. Those are the mostt awesome enemies I have ever fought. They take a lot of skill to kill and it is very satisfying when you finally slay one.

I want Louder more awe some sounds, I want dynamic skybox, I want vehicles to have more bang to em, I want background seneary, (ships in the air ect) I want Flood to stand Tall above the cheif, I want to see chunks flying off flood as they walk, I want flood bio whatever to consume the Pillar of Autumn, I want a modified Warthog model, make it look tougher bigger, bulkier. I want Covanant supplys to include evrything from tiny devices to food ect, I want humans to as well, I want Bloom, Maps to be flooded with particles, Industrial Fog smoke to fill the pillar, Equipment, Banshee to fly more like a physics defining alein craft, Pelicans to be massive, bulky like on Halo wars, Decals everywhere!!

Thats what I want in Halo HD, if not then might as well be the exact same as reach

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

I just don't want a remake. Halo CE was its own beast that, even with its flaws, does not need to be remade.

I'd make it so they fixed all the dumb little glitches (Getting outside of the levels, etc)


I would rather be able to get out of the map than be stuck inside where the mission objectives were like in Reach and not explore anywhere.

[Insert awesome signature here]

Wonder if there would be a problem, with putting campaign and what ever else on one disc, and putting multiplayer on another? It seems like a good thing to do. It worked for ODST.

  • 06.01.2011 7:31 AM PDT

I agree they should change a few technical things, like vehicle splatters, but I'd like to see level layout, weapons, enemies, etc. stay the same.

  • 06.01.2011 8:46 AM PDT

*Sips tea*

Technical/Physics updates are A-Ok.

Story/Character/Gameplay updates are NOT OKAY. NOT OKAY AT ALL.

Been a long time Halo/Bungie fan, and always will be.

Keep it the EXACT same as it was released originally. That's what made it the best FPS ever.

When people tried to take Halo CE and make it better...Brutes were created. Thus, the downfall of the franchise.

  • 06.01.2011 1:28 PM PDT

Make AoTC more intense. With a better engine, you can have like 40 AI screen, might as well use them to the fullest potential.

They should add a Firefight/ Objective mode. Make side cannon, and have like, MC and a group of Marines having to retrieve a piece of data somewhere. That'd be fun.

More customization in the Custom Games, and... that would be it.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Is Halo: Combat Evolved perfect by today's standards? Certainly not. Graphics have improved, AI, even the functionality and the control scheme are a bit out-dated. There might be things in later iterations in the series you guys might have liked more, like some of you mentioned Jackal Snipers and taking out fall damage and balancing out vehicular gameplay. But at the end of the day, changing these things would drastically alter Halo and its gameplay. Halo is what it is because of all these factors and imperfections. If you're changing level designs, styles of enemies, weapon layouts etc. then you are fundamentally changing the game.

Besides, if you like something from one of the later games, you can always go back and play those games. The only things I would like to see added would be online XBL multiplayer as well as XBL co-op. I get the feeling we won't be getting both of these, but the bottom line is in order to recreate the great experience of Halo CE, you need to keep all the factors that made Halo into... well... Halo.

I can honestly say i want no core changes. Halo CE hunters just wouldn't be quite the same if they couldn't be killed with 1 pistol shot, and if vehicles didn't drive like they used to it just wouldn't feel right.

However, i think we should have an option when we walk over health packs (although i have some funny memories of accidentally using them when my teammate had practically no health). In my mind that's not a huge deal and would be better if it was tweaked. That's just about all i want changed though.

Death to rank junkies.

I agree about the warthog, ghost and hunters.

I'd also like to see other weapons and vehicles from the other games in like the spectre, smg, etc.

Bears. Beats. Battlestar Galactica.

Yes. Nothing needs to be changed.

Brace for carnage, sweet sweet halo carnage :)

I agree with all your changes except for how the warthogs move. The only things with the vehicles I'd like to be changed is so that they can be destroyed and for the touch of death to be removed.

You should be more concerned with MP.

  • 06.02.2011 2:49 PM PDT

Hmmmm, Oh, hello!

I'm fine with the Hunters dying in one pistol shot, thats pretty much what made the Halo 1 Magnum Legendary.

Keep the vehicles, enemies, the HUD ,armor abilities and weapons like in halo Reach.
Ad forge, firefight, theater and use halo reach graphics with a few HD updates.

And improve the campaign levels with more AI, HD graphics, terrain and weapon stocks.

Those are key things that are good to be included.
And it will keep the campaign levels and the story intact.
The rest is good as it was.

I'm far too busy being delicious!

I want some of HCEs bugs fixed, hunters made stronger again, and more interactive elements, Armory, maybe some extra levels, same dialouge and story though obviously

Don't know why it calls me rubuilt gymnast 7, it's really UNSC595 in case you were wondering and I have played all of those games online

I would like everything to be only graphically updated (like leaving the MA5B and the Chuck Norris pistol in), but there are a few things I would change.

1. The handling of the vehicles does need to be changed, the warthog is way too unstable.

2. The hunters are too easy to kill, you can just spray them with the assault rifle and they'll fall.

3. You need to be able to pick up energy swords left by dead elites.

4. Sergeant Johnson doesn't need to be in every level because it gets confusing when he dies one level and he is still in the next. I don't really care about this one too much so they don't need to change it if they don't want to.

Those are the only things, it's still a great game and only has minor flaws.They had better have all of the original multiplayer maps and some newer ones would be nice (please bring back Blood Gulch!)

  • 06.04.2011 8:51 AM PDT

Never give up, never surrender!

I'd be happy if they only added two things;

1. Four player Co-op over Xbox Live

And

2. Theatre mode
