50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Grumpy1, this is for you. The remake is the same engine, with the same gameplay.

It also says why the MP was with reach too. They didn't want MP to be like Halo CE on XBC or Halo PC with classic modes.

I could of sworn I saw a Hang Em/Tombstone remake in a preview video as well, god bless you.

If anybody else has any confirmation on the 7 Reach Multiplayer maps, the info would be much appreciated.

Yeah, I saw that earlier today and did a quad fist-pump.
"Oh, and everyone would whore the pistol 24/7" made me laugh.

Which map was he talking about?

Lol, how does that go?

I am thinking like a Danger Canyon or a Timberland remake? (Both Halo CE PC maps).

Danger Canyone is confirmed (it can't be any other map) and one map looks to be a hybrid of Timberland/Death Islan.

They'll ship the game with classic modes for us to enjoy the CE experience. No info on these modes yet.

It wasn't an insult, lol


It was both. He meant it seriously, in a humorous manner.

Mat Noguchi once said that Pistol sniping whores need to die, and Frankie agreed with him (pre-H2 interview).

Lol, the Pistol sniping whores would object to that.

It's a poor excuse, but i wonder why they didn't just make it online.
Perhaps they didn't start working on it soon enough.

No matter what they did, it would be ruined forever for the 10 yr old kids.

Here's my take on all games. Whether old games or new, remade or not, once the decision about a game is made there's no turning back. So I'm going to wait and see, like I always do. I'll know how good the game is when I play it if I give it a fair chance to begin with.

343 does consider all options relating to pleasing the fan-base and making money so consequently, the purists always get left out. The engine is the same and that was paramount for me personally, I'll play with skins and see how it goes.

Also, they're laying one engine over another so you can switch back and forth from old to new, I did not understand that part. Lol, didn't know that had been done before.

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

I hope the sniping whoring with the pistol was a joke because sniping with the pistol took skill that no other halo gun could have. Also, a three shot kill made the game so fast and satisfying. Especially playing FFA or Doubles in CE was the best with everyone having pistols.

I wish they made the multplayer like the singleplayer and even had the toggle feature. That would have made me pay $80. Maybe they can feature that in collector's edition? *crosses fingers in unrealistic optimism*

It wasn't both. It's like saying everyone would BR whore in Halo 2, and 3. It's the truth, but it's not an insult. I don't know how any one could see it as an insult. Do you really think anyone from 343 would say that insultingly? Talk about bad press. They know people love the pistol, and they were just poking fun at that.


I didn't think of it as an insult like "YOU IDIOT", I was thinking of almost the same way you do. It's not like saying BR WHORE because BR whoring was much, much easier to combat (except in h2 cus of auto aim).

If you got a pistol in CE, it was basically a game over for the others.

They've only confimed 4 of the 6 MP maps. There's also one Firefight map, but we don't know anything about that yet.
