Boycotting untill we get MP.

This guy knows his stuff. I'm with you.
Actually he doesn't.

It's going to be two disks(like ODST). One with the campaign, the other with the 7 multiplayer maps running on the Reach engine. So it does have multiplayer. On top of that, if you buy it new there will be a code included to let you download those maps directly into Reach also.

What it actually breaks down to is this....
1. The remastered original campaign(should be enough if your a real fan).
2. Online co-op added over xbox live.
3. A second disk running the 7 maps(6 from CE, 1 from part 2) on the reach engine.
4. Lastly if you purchase it new a code included will allow you to download the maps directly into Reach to add to your selection there as well.
5. On top of all this it's going to be a discount price title.

Not sure why your all complaining. This box is going to give any real fan more than his moneys worth.


Then how come I keep hearing this garbage about how the multiplayer will play just like Reach? Are getting CE's multiplayer, or Reach's? If what you're saying is true, I can't wait for it now.

I'm just hoping that 343 creates a Halo CE playlist for Reach MP that EXCLUDES AA's.

Halo1 remains the most glorious of all the Halo games. I love the Halo universe and in fact all the games but i get an entirely different experience when i play this still astonishing game. There is an almost real connection that people had when they talk of their experience of it from all those years ago, and it goes beyond just about all other games in this respect


People will of course buy this very exciting remake. The campaign alone is what lots of people are expecially excited for

Well your listening to uninformed people spewing their uninformed guesses. I watched the entire Microsoft briefing, the Waypoint vids, & other miscellaneous vids. If you want the exact info straight from 343, then here's an interview with 343 Industries executive producer Dan Ayoub explaining everything. A few of us on here actually inform ourselves before posting. Hope it gives you the info you want.

More than your moneys worth yeah ok. Paying $40-$50 for updated graphics for the campaign is not getting my money's worth at all. I already sold my copy of reach because I absolutely hate the multiplayer so those multiplayer maps are useless to me. Now that I know there's no multiplayer I really don't see the point of buying this game.

You mean "Team Classic"? Yea, so... Bungie already did that. The maps will make a great addition to the playlist.

Yeah, I got all that. But I haven't actually seen CE multi-player. I've only seen Spartan-IIIs running around with AAs on remastered CE maps. I haven't seen Spartan-IIs in any mult-player footage yet. Thats what has me worried.

The least you can do if you quote someone is to read their post. You don't need Reach to play the multiplayer, and if you hate these games so much then why are you posting on here about them?

The game just includes halo ce maps redone to play on reach. It's just a map pack for reach. There is no halo ce multiplayer.

I really don't understand how your not getting this.

*It's going to run on the Reach engine. So your going to see the Reach Spartans. You don't need the Reach disk to play them though(unless you want to since you'll be able to import them into Reach as well via a code included. Since it runs on Reach AA will be possible but not necessarily included. Most likely they won't be since Frank O'Conner was quoted saying that they wanted to keep it feeling like the original(think of Team Classic settings). Does that better explain it?

Alright, that clears things up for me. Thank you. So we're getting all the CE maps in a code for Reach as well, huh? That explains why we haven't heard jack squat about a new map pack.

Reserving my judgement until closer to the release. Campaign should be fun but I'm a tad annoyed its going to be Reach MP (as much as I like Reach, I would prefer the classic MP).

What this guy says.

Posted by:C9316
I wanna know how much it'll cost. We aren't really expected to pay $60 for a ten year old campaign with updated graphics right?

To answer your question it's $40, also from what I hear it might (big might) include firefight.

  • 06.07.2011 1:09 PM PDT

why does everyone think there wont be a Multiplayer!?!?

Because what little multiplayer gameplay they've shown looks suspicously like Reach's.

The best thing that could happen is that 343i will release Halo Anniv. and a TU for Reach at the same time...paving the way for the CE Ann to re-open and 'fix' the broken things in Reach MP.

  • 06.07.2011 2:53 PM PDT

I will be at my nearest game shop on the day to buy it.

Yes, of course. People complain about the MP being a map-pack in Halo: Reach, but in the original Halo, you only had one set of armor, so there would be zero customisation. More people are playing Reach, so it will be better just directing players to a newly updated game that is already popular.


who actually gives a -blam!- about customisation?

  • 06.07.2011 3:59 PM PDT

Yes, i am most defiantly buying it.

  • 06.07.2011 4:08 PM PDT

awwww this one again. look everytime when a new halo is out people post this type of topic, are you going to buy halo 2, 3, odst, reach. 50ish% say no but almost all of them do anyways. I know i will also halo 4

Sorry about the late response(just got back from a scrumptious dinner and drinks). Six of the maps are from Halo CE(1) and one from Halo 2. In the vid for the anniversary addition of CE they showed a brief glimpse of several(if not all maps). Just watch the vid again, or look around on here as I'd assume they've been listed already. I know I saw Hang'em High and Beaver Creek, but I'm not sure on the rest. Like I said the vid shows most of them.

It does. Six maps are for matchmaking, one for firefight.

  • 06.07.2011 5:01 PM PDT

Hmm 40 dollars for a campaign that I've already played several times with new graphics and a map pack for a horrible multiplayer game?

Yeah.. I'll pass.

They knew that Halo 1 multiplayer would be so wildly popular that it would kill Reach's population and would even hurt Halo 4's multiplayer. Well, whatever crapfest they can come up with for Halo 4.

Basically Halo 1 multiplayer is so good, they were afraid to release it.
