hey, if you care so much about a yellow stripe you can change to the old-style graphics setting they're including. that way you won't implode from having an altered model in a remake of a game made 10 years ago.

I completely agree with OP (puts on flame suit). I want my accented halo ce marines with big brown clunky armor with their little green hologram eyepatch thing holding the smooth and always fasionable, MA5B series assualt rifle. Hell, I wouldnt care if they used the halo 3 MA5C (i believe it's "C")I just do NOT want that ugly Reach version. P.S. THERE BETTER BE DEM CURL-BACK GRUNTS OR IMMA HAVE A LONG TALK WITH 343!

Seriously, all this fuss over one gun? The scripting is still the same and so is the physics, only thing they did was write new textures and skins.
Yeah I don't like the way master chiefs remodeled armor looks, but I can toss that to the side if it still has the awe and wonder, fear and dread the original had.
In my opinion ce is the best halo and it's because of the feel you got while playing it, I even still play it on my 360.
Reach skins are just the template they have for now, I'm sure of it, these guys at 343 used to be with bungie, so I'm certain they're keeping things just as secretive as bungie is about a lot of things.
Besides if they're gonna have the option to switch graphics during gameplay, I think they're not going to screw it totally up with stuff that look unfamiliar.

Just sayin.

I concur, even though soon I'll basically have two Combat Evolved games.

Now i'm not sure which AR you are talking about whether it be the MM one or the campaign one but i have reasons to back both up.

MM: For one ,yea it sucks that halo combat evolved wont have it's own engine and matchmaking but that woul'dve taken a year to do which would set back halo 4 even further as well as the anniversary game. So yeah the AR in Matchmaking is different from the one in campaign it sucks but live with it.

Campaign: THIS AR IS THE SAME AS THE ONE IN THE ORIGINAL GAME!!!!!!!!
The only difference is the look and thats only in the new graphics mode you can now switch to the original graphics of the old game so the Ar looks exactly the same as it did before.

Cearly none of you have seen the grunt funeral skull video. they remade the weapons so they look like the original weapons again! duh

here you go

Quick, somebody call the whaambulance. This whining is ridiculous.
It's a video game, if you want cannon use your imagination. The thing is, you're basing what is cannon and what isn't off of what is written in the books. I'm pretty sure the game came 1st dude. And if you're still going to -blam!- about cannon think about this. Reach happened before Halo 1 so it would make sense that the weapons look similar. And the changes they made are cosmetic only. The AR still has 60 rounds, and the AIs are still the same.

If you're going to complain about cannon why don't you just stick with the original Halo, no one is forcing you to buy the remake.

I hope you feel like an idiot now, OP.


He shouldn't feel like an idiot. Clearly it's a different build of the game if the gun's model has changed. It's possible they changed to the proper MA5B skin, or they changed from that to the MA37 model to keep with the older looking AR vibe from Reach. Remember, the official announcement at E3 and the comic con gameplay trailer which were massive public announcements (as opposed to a silly preorder bonus video) used the MA37 model so I'd put my money on the MA37 model being used in the game, which sucks for reliving the classic.

op knows he can change the graphics back to original with a BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well at any point you can simply switch back and forth between the new graphics and the original's graphics mid-game.

WHUT? Where'd you get THAT? Check your sources better, soldier!
I did. I'm right.

Forward, warriors...and fear not pain nor death.

Edit: Alright. Now, we have proof that at least the MA5B and M6D are getting proper models. I have yet to see the proper marines.


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.

Actually, i saw a game play sequence on youtube, although i forget where and by who, but they are bringing back all the original weapons, at least the fully automatic pistol, in at least the campaign. it's not much, but it's something from the orginal

  • 07.30.2011 11:46 PM PDT

You do realise you can just press a button and everything goes back to the origional style.

  • 07.31.2011 5:40 AM PDT

In a recent video they have shown, the Grunt Funeral Skull I believe, they have updated the graphics, and are definitely not using Reach's model.

I know that it was already posted, but I'm saying this to prevent people from thinking that the problem wasn't resolved.

Sorry to burst your bubble bud but there was never a FULLY AUTO pistol in Halo

I am seriously laughing out loud right now! WHERE'S MY SHOTGUN? haha Freaking comic gold.

One of the things I'm severely hoping they don't change, is the sound the old Assault rifle made, that was a wonderful sound, of hose like death....
