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.
So instead of a remake that's true to the original, you'd like some half-assed moneymaker getting released?

Technically, both guns were around during the same era. It doesn't matter to me, what bugs me is the gameplay and mechanics imitating that of the original. Halo: Reach edition mechanics are more realistic.

in the theater mode in reach, go up to the side of an MA37
it should say in nice bold letters:MA5C
so if halo 3 was redone with reach graphics, the MA5 would look like an MA37. what I'm trying to say is that the halo 3 assault rifle and the halo combat evolved assault rifle look very similar.
so if the MA5C is in reach(MA37,then surely the MA5B, which looks like the MA5C in halo 3,would look fairly similar to the MA37

How many World of Warcrafts does it take to screw in a virgin? LIGHTBULB!

I got one thing to say...Adapt.

  • 06.08.2011 12:12 PM PDT

to be honest when people complain about halo 3 bending the canon.
they are wrong.
Bungie invented the game, they can change the canon as they please

  • 06.08.2011 12:23 PM PDT

“Who you are now, is not who you will be 10 years from now… who you will be 10 years from now... is up to YOU.”

Seriously... Who cares? 343i have actually said that you change the graphics of Halo CE Anniversary to the classic or the new if you wanted.

Complaining about a weapon will not help on this forum as it will get you NOWHERE.

Halo CE Anniversary's "Canon" is not "broken". Rarely anyone will believe you complain when you can change the graphics.

Just wait an extra 5 months and play the game just like all of us do.

That's what I'm talking about. Making predictions based on almost nothing. Besides, what was Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo Reach, Halo Wars, and Halo 3 ODST? I'm pretty sure you can argue the same thing about those. It's no surprise companies want money. That's all sequels are. In particular, side-stories, which are not absent from the Halo Series.

As master24robs said, you can change the entire game's graphics to be like the original. Also, as others said, this is not the first canon-breaking game.

its the same gun
everything about it is the same except the look which they are going to change
for the e3 trailer they didn't completeley use the exact things that are going to be in the game for example the cheifs helmet
it looked ugly in the trailer but they announced they will change it

  • 06.08.2011 3:44 PM PDT

All they did was update the models. I couldn't care less either way. As long as the story isn't changed no one that matters to 343 and Microsoft will care. They don't care about 'hardcore' fans whining on the forums about some minor cosmetic changes (yes they are minor changes, don't say otherwise). If they were changing the story or something you would have a beef but they're not so it really doesn't matter for the big picture.

The model in Halo CEA looks like a cross between the MA5B and the MA37 to me. It is detailed similarly to the MA37, but is bulky like the MA5B.

Are you honestly telling me that because the new Assault Rifle has similar aesthetics to the MA37 the whole game is a half-assed effort designed only for being a moneymaker?

And I thought the people of this site couldn't get any stupider...

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

So because the guns look different, canon is now broken?

Um, no.

  • 06.08.2011 4:05 PM PDT

If I had a Rocket Launcher...

Shut up and get behind me... Sir!

The cable. I'm going to cut it.

Awesomeness would ensue.

Yep, that's a MA37 with an altered ammo readout. And those are UNSC Army soldier models, not the lovable Marines we knew from the first game.

But, in the long term, does it really matter? No, as 343 and Microsoft will still make quite a bit of money off this regardless of what they do/change, and most won't even realize the difference.

Regardless, it IS a disappointment to see such shortcuts taken.

the images clearly showed a differnce between the halo reach AR and the Halo CE remake AR BESIDES the ammo counter

The simple solution is to keep the classic graphics mode on when you play it.

Then why buy the game? ..Give away your money

  • 06.08.2011 4:38 PM PDT

I'm agent Nahman Jayden, eff-bee-eye.

I read in a gamespot article that the game is still in its early stages and that 343 is still fixing graphics and stuff, so hopefully the Army/Army Weapons are just placeholder.

All I can say is wow ... what a bunch of brew ha ha, over what amounts to a cartoon gun, in a video game remake. Is it really that important a factor to you that MA5B look the way it did in the original drawings. That is what they are you know ... "drawings". One artists representation is different than another artists, so its not "cannon" and there fore the game is unworthy in your eyes to bear the burden of living up to your expectations of what it should look like.

Look your right it looks like the MA37, is that really going to keep you from enjoying the game? Lucky for you that they included a feature that will allow you to play the game with the "Classic" graphics. Problem solved you play with the classic graphics, and those of us that do not care as much about the difference between the new graphics and the classic graphics can focus on the meat and potatoes of this "Anniversary" Remake.

We get to play Halo:CE again, earn Achievements on xbox live and we get to play it with our friends online. That alone is awesome and all of the brew ha ha, about how it looks from a trailer a year or more out is absolutely ridiculous. Its as ridiculous, as a Harry Potter fanatic complaining that such and such scene in the movie was not cannon to what happened in the book based on a trailer he saw from the movie with out actually watching the picture. He may be correct, he is still an idiot.

Answer me this, what is more important to you? If you order a Steak from a steak house with pictures in the menu. That the steak on your plate looks exactly like the one in the picture on the menu? or that it tastes good? Because what your saying is that the game is not going to be any good, because it does not look like the original. I would rather have a steak that tastes good, than looks good. Granted, I am not going to eat the steak if some one blam's on it. Short of that however, I will cut around the Grissel and chew on the fat because that is where the flavor is. (Not to mention be great full to the chef for making it.)

I want to play Halo:CE on my xbox 360 "earn achievements", and enjoy the ride. Yes Bungie is not involved, and we have to rely on 343 to get it out, because Bungie apparently has better things to do then to relive there past no mater how much we may want them to. At least some one is trying to give us what we wanted.

Quit hating and wait for it.

Canon is canon.


After what happened with Reach and tFoR canon, I lost all hope with canon continuity in the games

  • 06.08.2011 5:14 PM PDT

"Forged in the flames of passion and perseverance. Go forth and represent."

Im all for keeping with canon but seriously stfu... you get 10 troll points for the OP just for whining about them not using the models you liked. you know what you can do... press the back button and you have your AR and marines. or do what im doing now and okay CE on games on demand for 20 dollars.

<------Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4 emblem.

Guys, things are getting out of hand here.
The gun looks different from the Halo 1 and more similar to Reach's. However, the reticule, firing, ammo, and even the overall feel are the same.

Just watch the unveiling trailer and the exclusive trailer at http://halo.xbox.com (the one that starts of with "10 years ago..." and the one with Frankie).

if 343 wants us to relive the moments we've had, then they'd might as well not completely change the look of the most iconic weapon in halo.
