halo aniversery edition till they remove reach MP from the game and put the clasic halo ce MP back

no point in a remake if all you get is campgain and a map pack

I for one would actually pay more than $40 To get just the remade campaign. and if they came out with a special edition I would pay out the ass just because I support all things halo. And technically this is going to be the fourth copy of Halo CE I own(Xbox original on hard disc, I own a copy on my xbox hard drive from the marketplace and Halo for PC.) So I doubt your going to get really anyone on these forums to agree with you, Because in my experience anyone on these forums are pretty dedicated to this series and aren't going to back up and Idea that takes away a new halo game.

If you download Halo CE onto your xbox can you talk to people on xbox live via party chat? or does it make you go offline?

No, You can't, It pretty much acts like you just put a Original Xbox Disc in and started it. The dashboard is disabled while its playing. All you can do is go to the dashboard

Nope no boycott. I will be buying CEA assuming they dont mess it up. I may even buy 2 or 3.

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

Last time I checked Halo wasn't all about MP.

Although I don't necessarily agree with 343 Industries' plan for the Multiplayer, I will probably still be getting it for the sake of the amazing Campaign, which will have Xbox Live Co-op enabled. Honestly, I still think it's too early to tell what the Multiplayer will be like. I know it's using Reach's engine, but I thought I heard that 343 Industries was going to make the Multiplayer more classic-like. I'm hoping they don't mean like the Classic Playlist in Reach.

i think they could have easily done a whole new matchmaking... it would have sold better, dont they know 85% of halo fans hate the matchmaking of reach. Either 343 really thinks we liked reach, or they are just too lazy to make a new matchmaking and wanted the game to come out on the same day as halo: CE. But i will still get it just for the remastered campaign... its worth the $40.

  • 06.09.2011 12:05 AM PDT

Who cares...Be happy there is some form of multip-player. I'd be fine without it.

  • 06.09.2011 12:41 AM PDT

OP, you are on your own.

So 85% of Halo-fans don't like Reach's MP? Can you proove that? I love Reach and I think that switching to another multiplayer within a year would seperate the Halo community. That has nothing to do with lazy, it would be stupid to rivive CE's MP.

OT: So one or maybe two guys don't like the remake and then we all have to boycot this game? There's nothing wrong with Reach's MP, but these days people cry like children if they don't get what they want. I hate it when people think they own products or franchises while they don't.

I will certainly be getting it.

Fans wanted a classic-playlist. When it came everone who wanted it said: "Now I will play Reach more", but the classic playlist was only played in the first 3 weeks. And then people started complaining again while that playlist was made with lots of discussing with the community. Even if there was going to be a MP for CE, people would complain about the AR looking different or something else.

Then the community would be split in 2 because there would be 2 MP's for Halo and CE's MP would soon be empty because or it's just some old nostalgia or the art would piss people off. How more you want from a game-series, the more you would be let down by it. Why? You are not the only one in this world.

Keep it simple stupid.

I hate Reaches mulit-player because I am not very good, I can't counter all the variables like AA's and bloom and all that crap. I just like the simple yet competitive game-play Halo used to be. And I think that is what most people want, vanilla Halo, not "New York Super Fudge Chunk" Halo: Reach. Some people like it plain. Making a Halo CE MP will not "split the community", it will give the Halo fans what they want, and the Reach fans what they want. IT MAKES SENSE!

  • 06.09.2011 6:23 AM PDT

I'm a Halo-fan for sure and Reach is a good game. So your not good at it eh? What about taking your Xbox and play CE with some of your friends in a system link? Some things change you know. :)

Try The Arena, the new maps from the communty are awesome. You've only played Arena 17 times, so maybe your just have to try.

The campaign is definitely worth $40. Therefore, I won't boycott. I will praise Halo CEA!

  • 06.09.2011 9:53 AM PDT

dont think anyone will boycot cause of the MP, only -blam!- alittle, but they'll still buy it.

Tru dat brutha...these boycotters obviously have a love for the game and thus will not let something as insignificant as a company cutting out an obsolete multiplayer gaming platform stop them from buying the fully remastered version of their favorite Halo campaign.

Fight hard, have fun

I would prefer Reach's MP be TU'd w/this Halo CE ANNIV but to play the original campaign co-op w/my current friends will be worth the $40 I think... + Beaver Creek, Damnation and the other old maps remade will be worth it...
