Halo Anniversary Exclusive Interview
Recently people have been very unhappy and are worried about a few things are saying. I will clear out the mess now. I received this information from the various podcasts and videos on Halo Waypoint, so if your too lazy just read all the below:
Halo CEA:
*$40 USD, not a full price game.
*Gameplay is identical. Proof? Press the Back Button at any time in the game and the old CE graphics engine will come into play, CLASSIC MODE. It is a real time change.
*Graphics have been overhauled. Looks beautiful *Sheds Tear*.
*Also, some edits to the Library have occurred e.g. more lighting.
*Co Op over Xbox Live. Split Screen Coop not confirmed.
*Pistol is still super OP, vehicles are indestructible. GAMEPLAY IS THE SAME!!!!
*Audio is also remastered, but with very few edits. Marty would be proud.
*One Disk.
*Campaign uses the Reach Alpha Engine, with full HD and 3D.
*Multiplayer will introduce 7 classic maps from Halo CE.
*The maps confirmed are: High Em High, Beaver Creek, Damnation and Timberland.
*There is also 1 Firefight map, and is possibly based in the Library. Flood Fight?
* You do not need Halo Reach to play on these maps, but if you only have Halo Anniversary you can only play with those maps.
*The multiplayer component is not of the original Halo CE, but of Reach. Frankie stated that they didn't use CE's multiplayer as the net code would not give the same experience. Also, people would pistol spam 24/7.
*As of now, Forge, Theater and a separate Firefight component will not be in the game.
I am very impressed. I can guarantee you with what we know Halo CE has not been ruined, but in fact stoked into legend. Do not hate on this game, 343 have done an excellent job.
Halo 4
*Takes place immediately after the events of Halo 3.
* The slogan stating a "new evil enemy" is likely not referencing to the Flood. The Flood is certainly not new in the Chief's point of view!
*Teaser is not accurate canon wise and the so called changes in John's armor may be due to a lack of artistic license.
*Armor Abilities will likely not return, the "jet pack" is in fact a booster pack. Read Halo: First Strike.
*New weapon fires explosive bolts. Looks similar to a pistol. Custom Modification.
*Customization of weapons and vehicles is rumored, but is not confirmed.
*The ship is the Forward Unto Dawn.
*The box art may not be final.
*Halo 4 is the 1st game in a new trilogy.
*Will be full priced, new multiplayer component.
Looks Good. Lets wait for more information. Also, use the Waypoint Forums. If you want something in Halo 4 e.g. Flood Firefight, ask now, while the game is in Alpha.
343 Industries has taken Halo to a new level. Don't negatively judge a game before it comes out.
Thank You and I hope I've cleared your doubts.
