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.


You missed the point of the damn game.

Also guys, we don't know how much of this stuff is placeholder.

I mean the MKV helmet on the CEA cover art is way different than the one we've seen in game.

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.


Amen! ..... now I'm hungry. :P

I dont get how 343 is working there buts off, not being with their families for this community and wasting a budget and you guys do is complain. Im sure it has hurten people to. Maybe if guys are going to complain you should make your own Blaming game because i think we can all argree its annoying and not working. Especially when your not even on halo 343i forums. Its funny to because they have been asking 343i for stuff not complaining and there already getting what they want.

  • 06.09.2011 8:56 AM PDT

yeah just figured that out! woo was I glad when I did! I was afraid that they were gonna screw it up and I'm so glad that they left it untouched!!!!! (other than the optional graphics upgrade of course)

  • 06.09.2011 2:58 PM PDT

they'll probably change it before it's finally released, I know they said that master chief's armor was only a place holder so thee reach modles are also probably.

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

I honestly can't believe you called that few-textured piece of crap iconic. Get your mind out of the past; the assault rifle definitely needs the revamp; it's not like it's even being changed much.

I can't believe there's so much fuss about making an ugly looking gun look better by making it more detailed and adding a yellow stripe. What actually is a troubling issue is the fact that they are redoing the sound...

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.

Does it really matter?

Anything could change between now and then.


This. Anyway, I saw in the trailer that the MA37 had a 60 on it, suggesting it will hold 60 bullets like the MA5B. It also suggests that the MA37 was just a placeholder, in case 343i is still redesigning the MA5B. Same thing with the Marines; they're probably gonna reskin them. If ODSTs are included, though, I hope they look like the Rookie. ODST had more realistic-looking soldiers...

  • 06.09.2011 6:02 PM PDT

"tbagging has been in halo since the getgo, don't like it? Go make a thread about it!"


Posted by: DroidekaDood

Posted by: DudeMX
They didn't switch the weapons bro. The MA5B is still there, check the renders and don't get confused between the multiplayer images (Halo Reach Matchmaking Classic Maps) and the campaign (Halo CE Remake)

It looks a lot like the MA37 to me, bro.


He just italicised bro. -blam!- just got real.

ANYHOW... If they F this up and it doesnt look like Halo CE with just a new paint job 343 is going to take some MAJOR heat. God be with them

OK Here we go...

Original AR
Halo Reach AR
Remake AR

looks similar? yes since it needs better graphics
is it the MA37? NO... check the gun display

physics will stay the same, new models MUST be made of course
and before someone starts this...

the god gun will be back too don't worry

Okay. Right. The newly modeled AR has 60 rounds. Big deal. All 343 did was take the MA37 model and update it. If you look closely, the MA37 is much more skeletal and detailed than the MA5B. The MA5B, in turn, looks very solid. The remake's AR doesn't look solid. The remake's AR is the MA37, thus breaking the game's canon.
You just went full retard...

I will only respond to logic, this is nonsense.

That's just an excuse for you not thinking of a good comeback. You know I'm right. You can't take the MA37's model and slap a new ammo counter on there and say, "HERP A DERP HERE'S THE NEW MA5B." It doesn't work that way. Halo has something called canon. And in the canon, the MA5B did NOT look like the MA37. I think you should pay more attention to the finer details. Sure, they look vaguely similar, but that doesn't change the fact that they aren't the same guns. I think you should review those images you posted.


Dude, are you serious or r u srs? Calm the hell down.
I'm sure they just used the MA37 model because the new MA5B wasn't finished yet. Calm down.

  • 06.09.2011 6:18 PM PDT

lol, Plasma Pistols

This is kind of sad. I do agree that I want this game to be 100% nostalgia, but you are over-reacting quite a bit.

However, when you play and start whining about it, press the Back button and there's your MA5B. ;)

  • 06.09.2011 7:52 PM PDT

-Dan

The things that I hope they will include is:
*The green eye pieces, different variations in marine armor like in halo reach with the balaclavas, visors, eye pieces, bullets on shoulders, different backpacks etc.
* Different marine models, like black's, caucasian's, asians, latin american, blue eyes, brown eyes etc.
* I don't know about you guys but I didn't see anybody with sgt hats coming out of the pelicans. Where's Sgt stacker?
* I also thought that the medics in halo reach were a cool addition.
* Lastly I hope they don't tamper with the voice acting and cut scenes too much.
sorry I just had to get that out of my system.

Simple point is that if you don't like the changes, turn them off. They thought of that. No reason to complain about it.

Way to miss the point. Is it so hard to understand that some people WANT to play Halo CE with an all new-updated coat, but feel as much like Halo CE as possible, that we don't want Halo CE to feel like having Reach's painting?

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.


BOOM! PWNED!!!

Word. It's downright embarrassing that a couple of fans on a forum have more attention to detail regarding what is canonically correct than the actual developers working on the game.

I just checked to see if Saber had an email so I could send them this thread to look at, but I can't figure out any way to contact them >_<

We are keeping all of the sounds EXACTLY the same as they were in the original Halo. All changed sounds are placeholders for the time being.
