Box Art:

You can get a really good up close view of the box art here:

Looking pretty awesome. And gives a great look at the updated Master Chief!

Also in the article:

Firefight returns!
Halo 2 maps (at least in Firefight) will return!
Price will be $40!
And based on wording in the article... The campaign will be an exact remake with gameplay intact, only a graphics update. Competitive Multiplayer however, is the same as Reach's only being updated, tweaked and adjusted gameplay-wise.

Other Info:

New multiplayer modes will be added.
Halo 4's story will be teased and players will "uncover never-before-revealed backstories told in motion-graphic form that foreshadow new mysteries in the story of Halo 4".
Achievements are confirmed.
Multiplayer maps are on the Halo: Anniversary disk, so you do not need Reach to play online.
Elites will be playable in competitive multiplayer.
Armor is customizable in multiplayer.
Reach weapons will be making a return in Halo: Anniversary. So far only the Needle Rifle is confirmed.

Oh... And armor lock returns...

The fact that multiplayer seems to be almost exactly like Reach's with CE maps worries me. But everything else is looking good!

Don't forget to comment so everyone sees this. We don't need a 20 random threads for every piece of information that comes out.

Why is chief black? I think it's not bad.

I love what they did with this game, but I hate how they messed with Cheif's looks - that visor is ridiculously huge and square-like. The box art makes him look great though, so I'm kinda hoping they use that model in the final game.

  • 06.06.2011 12:16 PM PDT

Honestly, I don't know about other people's opinions on it, but this is essentially exactly what i wanted

  • 06.06.2011 12:17 PM PDT

Interestingly enough, when you migrate a gamertag from one email to another, your old Bnet account doesn't. Sigh.

Yeah, what the heck's with the visor? It looks like crap...

  • 06.06.2011 12:24 PM PDT

I think they nailed the chiefs appearance. Yes, the visor looked bulky in the gameplay, but that might have been because it was glowing so much. At least he looks great on the cover.

Have Recon and want to hang out with other people with it.
Then join :: We are RECON or W.A.R

Were does it say about Armour lock?

  • 06.06.2011 1:08 PM PDT

In the 3rd to last screenshot in the slideshow, there's a spartan using armor lock in the background.

The more I learn, the more disappointed I become...

  • 06.06.2011 1:50 PM PDT

I can explain to you that the 3 last screenshots in the slide show is Halo Reach but I believe that 343 has put the 3rd map pack on the new anniversary game

Yeah, Hitboxing = fail. For example, a certan user from the maw who has never played Halo 2 Xbox online links to this halo 2 bash video (its much less exreme in acutial gameplay) which shows hitboxing, but it also exists in halo 3, which also has unbalanced weps and n00b armor (recon).

Campaign-wise, yes. I really love the idea of switching back and forth between graphics on the fly.

As for multiplayer, though, I wanted Halo:CE's multiplayer remade as well. Along with the exclusive PC maps/weapons/vehicles thrown in. I'm happy to see some real classic map remakes in Reach, but it's not what I wanted with this.

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?

Interesting. So for campaign the only things being changed are graphics and extras like Terminals. (oh, and of course, Live co-op) But for multiplayer, it's going to be just like Reach? Not what I was hoping for, but still I'm overall pleased with what I hear.

Price will be $40!

They said the same thing for ODST, so I'll believe that when I see it.

  • 06.06.2011 2:01 PM PDT

This looks insanely awesome :D

  • 06.06.2011 2:01 PM PDT

Let the Shadows rise and take over you! Feel the pleasure of the dark side as it overwhelms you and controls you, give in to the shadows

Got a Question, that may be on most people's minds.
Will, please for the love of Pete's sake. This include NEW armor? I am kinda getting sick of seeing the same old armor over and over and over and over, c'mon, this better throw a curveball on the multiplayer feature, otherwise it'll be ODST all over again, a wasted 40 bucks on a remake of a classic game, 40 down the drain and the only thing used the most is the MP element. Not COOL, unless 343 can do something to keep it more entertaining than ODST


EDIT: Oh, i see Jetpack will be returning.

I don't really like that box art, I wish they had redone the original.

They've stated in the most recent podcast that they're going to try and customize the settings to get it as close to CE as possible. You probably won't have to worry about ANY AA's.

Multiplayer is Reach DLC

  • 06.11.2011 1:12 AM PDT

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

The MP is 100% Reach. There will be no Reach weapons in the campaign, because it's using all of Halo 1's coding, just with a new coat of paint. How would you render a Needle Rifle if you switched back to the H1 graphics?

  • 06.11.2011 1:42 AM PDT

People keep complaining about it.

Why?

AA are only in the multiplayer, so are the reach weapons.

Campaign is still the same, just looks better.

If you don't like it, don't buy it!
I will be happy not to have to play with you in MP :)
