Something I can't find, does anyone know if they patched the pistol? Is it going to be like Reach? Is there going to be bloom?

PORTAL in Reach!

Friend request me, I'm a friendly guy: Gamertag

The CE game is the entire campaign, exactly how it was, (physics etc.) with a fresh coat of graphics and some audio enhancements. For the multiplayer, it's entirely Reach mechanics, in Reach. No changes, not yet that we know of. We'll see what 343 has in store.

The only way 343 can redeem themselves for this atrocity is to get that pistol into Reach somehow.

The campaign pistol is still a 3 shot to elites. But the multiplayer maps are all in Halo: Reach with Halo: Reach physics and weapons.

"Still"? When was it a 3-shot to elites to begin with?

The reason you can 3sk someone in multiplayer is that the first two shots get the shields low enough that a headshot bleeds past the remaining shields. Elites have beast shields compared to MP players.

The "blessings" of excess are only a burden on us.

There is an interview on Waypoint saying everything is the same, even "sniping" with the pistol is in it and no bloom.

How about go on 343i's site or Halo Waypoint. You'll see for yourself.

the pistol is still king but are the warthogs destructable i remember playing on silent cartographer with friends and crashing into one another full bore and having the hogs go sailing and spinning without dying. that would be sweet if you can still do that!

A few of us were talking about the multiplayer. Yes, the campaign is genuine to CE, big whoop.

The vidoc says and I QUOTE from this trailer.

The Halo 1 pistol is back, it is still wildly overpowered. Three shots to the head from anywhere on the map can kill anything.

While he's saying that, master chief three shots an elite.

While I'm super stoked that they're bringing back the original campaign untouched...what I really want to know is about the multiplayer. Does the pistol have bloom in multiplayer? I realize that they're importing the maps into reach, but it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to code in a Turn bloom ON/OFF for pistol for classic matchmaking gametypes. I really hope they don't miss that opportunity.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

It will be exactly like the original.

Are you saying the multiplayer will be exactly like the original? And if so, what are you basing this on?
