Subject: halo CEA should it be remade on PC

~khristian

i personally think for all the PC players who loved halo 2 vista and CE for PC the halo ce remake should be remade for the computer who else agrees with me.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

I'd be for it. I couldn't care less for Reach's multiplayer, though.

I would love it, but sadly I don't see Microsoft letting go of the Xbox long enough to remember us. Oh well. I have an Xbox so I guess I'll just pick it up for that anyway.

Xfire me: kestrel111. I often forget to turn it on. Real life functions often keep me from playing.

Would be awesome...but yes, Microsoft's obsession with their console has unfortunately resulted in their heads being forced far up their rectums, and would take something big to get it out.

I totally agree with you. Some of the things in the later games, including the ones from the xbox360, should be included in a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved. I'd love to play as an elite, and be able to use battle rifles and the other weapons that were introduced later in the series. Of course, better graphics would be added as well.

All the changes on the remade Campaign are visual. If the PC community wants it that badly, we can make it ourselves. (As we have in the past)

Using a different graphics engine that we have no access to though. Ripping the assets and dumping them in HPC as it is wouldn't work.

Heck, I'm still waiting for halo 3 PC.

I don't have an xbox and I don't want one either to be honest.

We did it with Halo 2, didn't we? :P (It wasn't perfect, as always, but that's what you get with community made stuff)

What I'm meaning is that a team could go in and try to recreate the graphics that 343 placed in. Just like the Halo 2 map craze during Custom Edition's golden ages or the recreation of the Halo 3 weapons. it won't be a new graphics engine, but it will be the best recreation of it using the old engine we can make.

yeah because 343 pulled it off using the same engine

There's no point because the graphics engines are too different. It'd quite likely just look and perform horribly.

The Halo 2 ports worked (sort of) from a visual standpoint because the engines aren't that far apart and these days we have enough horsepower in the average PC to push the engine beyond what it was intended and optimised for. We can get prettier graphics but there's usually a heavy performance penalty to pay for utilising it in unintended manners.

HCEA's graphics engine is clearly based on Reach/possibly Halo 4 tech, not HCE's. We could not hope to recreate that, even if we had the source code.

no it is not using reachs graphics engine it is using the original one built on top of it. that is why you can switch between old and new graphics

Actually what they did with it is that Saber Interactive built an entirely new graphics engine that was then placed on top of the original game's engine (Two engines running at once)

@Btcc22: I see your point about it not being possible to get the full extent of the graphical power to look like Anniversary, but what I meant was that someone could replicate the style of it. Not as pretty, just making the same sort of changes. Personally, I'm just going to take this, continue playing Combat Evolved's Multiplayer, and call it even.

How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure.

Those looking for a group to join, I suggest you join Gamma Company Spartans (check my groups page). We are a friendly and active community always looking for more members.

I don't know. Some people want it to be an original Xbox exclusive. But also, wouldn't 343 profit from an addition to the computer? However, there aren't as many gamers for Halo's on computer as there are on console, so maybe the upkeep of the Anniversary edition for PC might not be worth it cash wise.

yes it is 343


No, to the best of our understanding, it's using the same physics engine and other parts but the graphics engine is most certainly not one of them. It's patently clear and 343 have stated that themselves.
