Subject: Halo CE Anniversary (Classic Mode)

For all of those who have not heard about the CONFIRMED classic mode i'm here to tell you. During any point of the campaign you can go into the menus and change the game from the new graphics to the classic graphics.

And I could care less if this is old for some people because it's not for others

Anyways Thanks!

Actualy you just press the Back button.

  • 06.07.2011 2:13 PM PDT

thanks man i never heard them say which button :)

  • 06.07.2011 2:14 PM PDT

B3C-Bio 3lement Clan! Message me or ITatterninjaI for a clan battle

We will bring you down!

but what if u accidentally pressed the back button it would be stupid cause if someone you were playing with started being stupid and kept on doing it it would probably lagg it or freeze it instead it should be a option in the pause menu

I don't know for sure, but I think it just affects one person. Also, it wouldn't realy cause lag because it doesnt change the textures it just changes the transparency of the HD textures from 100 to 0 (so they are there the whole time which means they don't need to load).

Spartans never die, they're just missing in action.

Wait, if "Back" is the graphics button, then what is the score/player/weapon info button going to be?

Multiplayer is going to be on Halo Reach. It will have Reach graphics. Nothing else.

It takes about a second to switch back and fourth between old and new graphics. The more you do it, the quicker the change will become. No worries! 343i has most of their bases covered.

I also heard that it would be able to be changed really easily and fast

Woah...that just happened...again !

It was actually confirmed that you could just hold the back button and it would buffer a few seconds and then pop just like the horrid texture load from H2 you would be able to flip back and forth to the new
and old view...

Nope the maps are for Halo Reach Multiplayer, there's going to be no Halo ce multiplayer. It's dissapointing considering Halo CE's multiplayer is much better than Reach's..

Been B& 3 times,so be careful in the forums,it's like a jungle

I will love that button

I did some research, it will have its own multiplayer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo:_Combat_Evolved#Anniversary

Trust a dedicated wiki (Halopedian, in this case) before wikipedia itself. That page just says it will have multiplayer and co-op functions. Vague, no? The multiplayer will be without a shadow of a doubt, Reach. Here's a more accurate page outlining CEA and what it will contain.

Wait, sorry. Just looked it up on the Halo News site. I was wrong. The multiplayer will be in Reach only. http://www.halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/headline/the-halo-bulleti n-inaugural-frankie-edition/59856

There is an option ont he main menu for CEA that says "Halo Reach Multiplayer" its basically like ODST's second disc except it is all on one disc

Or you could just play the original halo ^^ if you still have it and a working original xbox for a more classic feel.

This man knows what's good. Although my OG copy (without the platinum hits, and had the game demos on it) was burned in a fire, I can still enjoy the best mother-blam!- split screen, lunge-free, auto-aim free multiplayer experience ever with a few of my mates
