SPARTAN TRAP
asking for mods is not a smart idea.
no bumping.

what is your next game going to be Bungie?

since I have been seeing all the people who are getting -blamed- at 343i, I thought I would put out a positive thread out there.

the graphic updates that 343i have made to Halo: CE are good, and they really stressed that they did not touch the gameplay at all. they were really adamant that they didn't "throw the baby out with the bath water" to quote one of them.

I really appreciate what they are doing, it is worth it just to have campaign over XBL. I have always (since I got XBL) wanted to play Halo: CE with my friends.

just wanted to put that out there because it seemed like this topic needed it.

also looking forward to Halo 4 but not as much as the Halo: CE Anniversary.

thanks. and yes, 343 ftw.

343i seems like a company with lots of skillful devs and people who really care about the universe.

They also seem to have a special fondness of forerunners (where as i feel bungie sort of started leaning toward military/UNSC favor with Halo 3 and Reach where as in 1 and 2 it was more the unknown).

And their first real work, remake, seems to have been made quite properly and done right.

I mean, granted we really have to wait until Halo 4 to get a good grasp of how good they are, but they have my respect. I expect big things.

they get a slice of cake, now if they also play with Halo 2, they'll get the WHOLE cake
-never played CE or Halo 2-

(the cake is a lie) yeah, campaign alone is uncomfortable to say the least.

Smug Dark Loser:

343i truly seems to care about what the fans of Halo (including me) think is the best thing about Halo: CE. and their conclusion was the gameplay is the most important thing, and I agree with that opinion. and if they hit off with the Halo: CE Anniversary I'm sure they will be due for at least one more remake.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

The way I see it, i'm not going to sing praises to any dev until I can sample their wares. My gripe with 343i is in their handling of canon moving forward. They already demonstrated some questionable choices concerning canon when they proclaimed Halo Legends and Evolutions canon.

yeah, but Microsoft made them so since the rights of Halo are owned by Microsoft doesn't that give them the right to say what is canon and what is not?

hmm....not that I care about canon and the exactness of it but....

when MC was put into cryo I'm pretty sure he DID NOT have a jetpack on....am I wrong?

  • 06.09.2011 2:46 PM PDT

"thrusters" not jetpack used for low gravity zones. He always had them but never really needed to use them. What did you think those things on his shoulder/back were?

  • 06.09.2011 2:49 PM PDT

Halo 3 is better than Reach

Xbox Live: iSupremacyX
Xbox Connect: Cold_Achilles

No different than the position Bungie was in up until they sold the rights to Halo, yet people give Bungie -blam!- left and right for messing up canon. 343i having the "rights" to do so doesn't mean that doing so is always a good idea.

When did MC "alwyas" have zero g thrusters? I don't remember seeing that in any book or game.

None of his armor is the same. And also, it never went into detail about the Mark VI armor in the books. Who knows? He could have had them throughout all of Halo 2 and 3.

Saying "he could" is not the same as saying "he did" which is what was said.

I am glad theyre doing this.
I just hope the music will give you the same feeling, and i hope the new composers are just as good as Marty was.
