Subject: Come on people! What the heck?

Why do tons of people complain about the Halo CE remake? It hasn't even come out yet! It doesn't matter if the pistol is overpowered or the graphics look cartooney or the weapons are off-canon or the games a waste of time. Can't you just keep your criticism at least until the game comes out? It's almost like you guys are taking a piece of cake and saying it's going to taste bad before you even look at it or taste it (Yeah I know, that was a bad example) but can you guys stop judging what you don't know? Oh well. Most of you will read this and think I suck at life and don't know what I'm rambling about anyways...

If no one says anything, there is no chance 343 may address what many of us want.

  • 06.10.2011 11:47 AM PDT

Then why don't they go to the 343 forum?

As much as I don't like the decision with the multiplayer, I agree, it's too early to judge. Now I'm not saying I have faith in 343 Industries with the multiplayer, but I don't doubt them either. There still is the chance that Halo: Reach's Multiplayer could be improved with a title update, which in turn could potentially improve Halo: CEA's Multiplayer as well. I'm pretty sure I heard Frankie say that they would make the multiplayer more classic-like for the old-school Halo players, but we will just have to wait and see what happens.

Team Unicorns all the way!

Last I checked Halo CE's graphics have always been cartooney. Hell look at Red vs Blue when they used the first Halo...it looks like a cartoon. Which I like...and I agree with the OP. :)

They do go there also. Look at the two most viewed/posted topics.

Alright, my bad. I just don't like it when people complain...even though I'm complaining my head off about people who complain. I guess it just goes to show nobody's perfect.

There's nothing to judge. It's been given a graphic overhaul, online Co-op and achievements. That's it.

A lot of people like me wanted halo ce mainly so we could play Halo CE multiplayer on xbox live. Now that I know it's just going to be halo ce maps played on halo reach I don't see the point of buying the game especially being that I hate reach's multiplayer. It doesn't matter if the game didn't come out yet because it's already confirmed that the multiplayer is on reach and that's all I need to know. People have every right to complain.

I wasn't talking about people complaining about the multiplayer as much as the people complaing about the new campaign. I know plenty of people hate the multiplayer just by looking at it, but some people are already bad mouthing the campaign.

  • 06.11.2011 9:59 AM PDT

Yeah, I personally see nothing wrong with the campaign. Looks like they did a good job with it.

I don't understand that. What exactly are people complaining about the campaign? It's the original campaign with updated graphics.

I saw a few people complain that they didn't like that the pistol was still overpowered, the campaign maps were still going to be long and easy to get lost in, and that little stuff like the Halo Reach assault rifle and marines shouldn't be in it because they're "non-canon".

Absolutely no reason in complaining about the graphical changes in my opinion. If it really bothers people then all they'll have to do is hit the "Back" button. On another note, 343 Industries is most likely still reading all the posts we're making so they'll probably consider many of the complaints so far to be altered before the game is officially released. You never know.

WE WANT ONLINE MULTIPLAYER. THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.

  • 06.11.2011 3:26 PM PDT

That's why the Halo 3 multiplayer is still up. And lets face it, theres more to a game than just multiplayer. I don't have xbox live and I love playing the crap out of Halo Reach.

Clearly you shouldn't care about the multiplayer if you don't have live. For those of us who do, the main reason to play these games after the first couple weeks is multiplayer. Also, CE is not interchangeable with H3. The point is this would have be the first time CE ever got real online multiplayer, and is probably the only chance for it to ever happen as it is unlikely they will release yet another CE remake after this one... at least not till the 25th anniversary!

The only one demanding changes/complaining about Campaign has to be me. Anyone else is probably more interested in/disappointed about the multiplayer.

If were talking campaign the i think you will find it's mostly out of concern why so much of this stuff is posted

I have 3 major concerns for example:

1/ That 343 will replace the old Cortana- brilliantly realised devil eyed and short haired. She was so very cool and erratic back then and her manner fitted how she looked. 343 might start getting a bit too creative where really they shouldn't be. Change this particular Cortana and it's makes the game feel quite different- absurd when perhaps you look at it this way but she is such an important attachment in those glorious cutscenes that it would be badly jarring if she's no longer Cortana as we knew her to be- much like when the change characters for film sequels or soaps- it just doesn't feel right anymore. For many this would be a massive betrayal

2/ Screen tear. Halo1 didn't have it but lots of 360 games do. Even Halo3, ODST and Reach had it but Bungie were super clever and had it hid up high enough the screen that you didn't notice it. Saber is handling someof this work(art assets only?) and one of their last games had terrible screen tear. Perhaps being the game's original code is running will mean this wont be a problem, but will the running together with other new code on top have the screen handling overidden- potential then for sceen tear depending on how they're doing this

3/ Music. The new music extract i have heard is indeed different in places. Lots of people can clearly notice differences too and it begs why 343 have done this

People are just worried is all and i think that's fair enough considering how holy Halo1 is to many adoring fans. It doesn't mean 343 will stuff it up, but unless we say this stuff, there is a real chance they may
