I keep saying this but none of you guys seem to get it.


Yeh usually most people take the hint and realise this is because they are in the wrong....

There are graphical differences between the MA37 and the revamped MA5B, the new model looks more like a rifle and less like a super soaker for bullets.
as for your "Marines wearing full face visors" they are ODST's. Marines wear armour just like the ones in the trailer, just like the ones in all the halo games actually.
Id like to see some marines on the surface of Halo-04 as it ties in nicely with the books. I'd also like to get to see the ever elusive Carol Rawley "Foehammer"!

Read the books, Youl like them. You'l be able to complain about loads of stuff in them its great.

in fact just read books I feel it will be beneficial.

oh and lets talk about the real scary thing in that trailer
The chiefs helmet! :O please god remodel the armour! the halo 3 Mk. V helmet looked good use that!

I don't even know where to start with this. First of all, I'm NOT talking about ODSTs. If it were an ODST, I would know it. I'm talking about these guys. THESE are the revamped Marines that I'm talking about. How do I know that they're Marines? Simple. They're not ODSTs and they came from the Pillar of Autumn, which is a Navy space craft, housing Marines.

Another thing: I DO read the books.

The last thing, which made me seriously want to bathe with a toaster. You just called Master Chief's armor in Halo 3 the Mark V. No. It's not the Mark V, it's the Mark VI. It's not a graphically updated Mark V, it's an upgraded set of armor. At the time of Halo: CE, the Mark VI was a prototype anyway. I'm still shocked that you just confused the Mark VI to be a graphically-enhanced Mark V. I think YOU should read the books, and maybe play the games, too.

Too bad that he's referring to the MP version of the Mark V helmet.

Are they changing or allowing a different Chief model while in newer graphic mode- while it may have originally shown in the Mac version way back, it's hideous in comparison to the original xbox Chief model -especially the head- we eventually got

The older Chief head model looks strikingly cool and so 343 really needs to change that ugly block head we've got now

Okay, since so many of you don't pay any attention to what I'm getting at... I don't mind graphical updates. I actually like them. But my point is, the MA37 has a different design than the MA5B. Canonically, they have different appearances. The MA5B looks smooth and the MA37 looks rugged. They ARE NOT THE SAME GUN! Understand? The MA37 and the MA5B ARE NOT THE SAME! They are canonically different. As are the Marines. Their graphical update gives them a closed visor, as shown in Halo: Reach. I'm fine with that. But 343 didn't even use THAT model. They just decided to be lazy and use the Army trooper model. I swear, NONE OF YOU pay any attention to anything I'm saying.


When I first saw Halo: Anniversary, I got really excited. I can go back to playing the original game in a completely new way with my friends over XBox Live and with new graphics. There's only one thing that got me down...

The weapons

I don't even understand why they chose to use the MA37 instead of the MA5B for the remake. The MA5B was the Marine's standard weapon during Halo: CE, NOT the MA37. ALL of the weapons are taken from Halo: Reach. Not cool.

If the weapons weren't bad enough, 343 didn't even bother to remodel the original Marines to use. They just took the Army models from Reach and plopped them onto the Marine characters. They could have at least used the Reach Marine models with the closed visors.

I hope that these models are just placeholders. As a long-time fan of Halo, I do NOT want to see a potentially great game like this break canon.


Reach broke canon.

I think so but again i dont like the mark 5 in halo reach its just one of those helmets that looks better in the old graphics and if you look at halo 4 trailer mc looks bad ass in there


I know what you mean. When I first saw the Mk 5 in Halo Reach from the Rooster Teeth video I hated the look. The helmet looked way too small compared to everything else. And while MC does look pretty bad-ass in Halo 4 I just hope they have a canon reason as to why his armor changed so much.
At e3 they said there will be a reason why chief's armor changed and his attitude. I hope mark 5 looks bigger and rounder, rather then a lego piece.

No it didnt read the books. It followed canon.

I bought halo ce with a xbox at launch 10 years ago and thought I was a true fan of the series until I read this thread.

I am nothing compared to the fans who complain about which ar model they will use.

cant wait.

And yet I don't see you having any problems with the massive retcon we call Halo: Reach.

One would think that the developers at 343 Industries are fans too, or at least have a respect for Halo. Not to mention that a lot of former Bungie developers are part of 343 Industries now. I doubt this game will disappoint. However, it might feature certain things that might not please the long-running fans. Does that make sense? Sorry if it doesn't.

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

Also in Reach Marines boarded the POA with Ma37s


By jingo, the boy has hit the nail on the head.

Op - this is the answer to one of your non-questions

Panda beats Everything!

who really cares about the AR model? it won't really make any difference in gameplay, reach broke canon, and either CE or Halo: the flood broke canon as there were supposedly ODST's at the truth and reconciliation (according to the book)

  • 06.08.2011 12:20 AM PDT

It doesn't break cannon at all. Press a button and you have the original damn game.

  • 06.08.2011 12:24 AM PDT

Oh lawd, someone stop the presses!

Seriously bro, it's not that big of a deal.

  • 06.08.2011 12:50 AM PDT

To the marines thing: the majority of the marines in CE are ODSTs, because of Major Silva. The PoA was manned for the spartan mission of capturing a prophet, meaning that it is within canon to have ODSTs in CEA, as most, if not all, of the marines in CE were ODST anyway. Read The Flood again and you'll see I'm right.

  • 06.08.2011 12:55 AM PDT

Greetings.

I thought that too.
It's a little annoying with some of the changed models like the Elites' armour and other stuff that stand out quite clearly, but besides the fact that it breaks canon, it doesn't bother me much. Technically, the whole game breaks canon.

oh no the AR model is not the same!!!!!!!! WHAT EVER SHALL WE DO?!?!?

THIS GAME IS OFFICIALLY RUINED.

I thought i seen it all on the reach forums: bloom, armor lock, the freakin magnum. But dam when i read this thread.. the model of the gun you are using is enough to tick off a die hard fanboy for sure. OP you are incredible

True but they could have atleast released a better rendered trailor

Really? So we are all fans of Halo, right? Ever since Halo 2 fans are whining about changes. I simply love the new look and can't wait to play it. It's all about the gameplay and who cares if the guns don't look the same?

Halo 3 ruined canon, Halo Reach ruined canon.....are you serious? Can't we all just enjoy the Halo-games? And if you don't like it...then don't buy the game.

Sure you are allowed to complain about something, but some people take this too far. When I read the Bungie-forums I always get a little depressed on the problems players have with the Halo-games. The games aren't bad at all and so is the new look on this game. You want new visuals, but only if it follows what you want. That's unrealistic, unless you made your own.

Correct. The lack of loyalty shown sure doesn't seem like something true Halo fans exhibit.

Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea
C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

I also noticed the MA37 in the trailer and frowned. That's not even a Marine weapon. >.>

Like you said, I'm really hoping it's all just placeholder until they finish the game.
