Subject: Could anything "new" be in CE HD?

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

I have started to ponder on what exactly from Reach could be in the CE remake.
People are constantly complaining about there shouldn't be armor abilities in the game.
Technically, they can't be in it at all.
The game will run ontop of the original game. So you can switch back and forth. This means that if armor lock was in it, the original game's engine would have to be modified too to allow armor lock. Plus the Armor Lock graphics would have to be made in the CE game's engine. So Elites may actually be easier to fight as they will not have the Evade ability.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

There is nothing new to campaign in anniversary except for terminals and easter eggs. The multiplayer is Reach's multiplayer so yes there are armor abilities but it isn't a different multiplayer experience.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Stop spamming the Universe with threads that belong in the Flood.

Can't win an arguement?
Correct their grammer instead

terminals

Engineers could be in.

Seriously ;)
But thats it in terms of Reach content...

Source code for the original Halo CE included Engineers and they could easily be added. Excluding their combat purpose from ODST and Reach (because that would alter gameplay, and since gameplay hasn't changed they couldn't have those functions).
Maybe have some of them fly around, poking into Forerunner technology.

Maybe even have them float around near where Terminals should be located, given their natural interest for stuff like that.

Secondly: adding Jonesey (the ginger cat on the MIA posters on the POA and a reference to Aliens) as an easter egg somewhere in an airshaft or a hard to reach corner (much like the H3 monkey men) would be great.

Lastly: just like the cut Engineers, there are more things cut from the game but still there in the source code (and thus also in HCEA) which they can add in as easter eggs.
For instance: CE includes a never used Covie Sniper: the Gravity Gun. They can easily replace its model with a new Beam Rifle model as they function the same and have roughly the same shape. And then place is somewhere unexpected and hard to reach.

Lastly: they could and should add skulls to the game.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

engineers and skirmishers could be in.

  • 06.17.2011 12:10 PM PDT

skirmishers could canon-wise be in. But they couldn't be included with their Reach gameplay treats because that wasn't there in the original CE.
They could however give packs of Jackals a Skirmisher as a leader which acts the same as the Jackals normally do, but just looks more menacing.

I don't understand why everyone is telling you to stop spamming the forum, this seems like a legit Universe question.

  • 06.18.2011 1:08 AM PDT

Sadly, the Flood will act exactly like in Halo: CE. Don't misunderstand me, I'm glad the Flood is back in this campaign, I want to see it with Reach graphics, but the spores won't be able to revive corpses, and you won't be able to destroy 'em either.

And yes, Engineers should be included in the game. Although only for Easter Egg purposes... and probably be out of reach because, even if those Covenant pink bastards are in the code, there is no death animation.

  • 06.18.2011 1:19 AM PDT

My name is Legion, for we are many.

I definitely think the Jackals need a new look. I didn't think their doglike appearance in the first Halo defined them as intelligent creatures.

"What they don't knw Can't hurt Them

yea, kinda disappointed with the reviving with the flood.

and the bonus campaign sounds like a beta test for Halo 4.

I did hear that their could be a BONUS CAMPAINGN level based on the Forerunner-Flood war.

I wouldn't mind as long as it's considered a 'Bonus Campaign level' where the player has to unlock it or select it at the menu, and not actually incorporated into the storyline of CE.


Source please?

"What they don't knw Can't hurt Them

"a firefight map unlike any you've ever seen before. One thing I can tell you is that this one is particularly appropriate to Halo Combat Evolved but will do things that no firefight map has done."
-Frank OConner
sounds like flood?

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

It's the CE Campaign with the Reach Multiplayer.

Yeah, Halo gameplay in a forum for discussing Halo story along with the stories of other Bungie made games.

"Wort wort wort!"

And a Spartan in the trailer has ODST helmet. So probably armor customization.

Here, skip down to where it says trivia.

I had a feeling they were gonna have a bonus campaign. Figured it would be about the covenant's point of view on the installation though.
