I think that CEO is a bit too hopeful. He needs to go back and look at M$ track record. If they did M$ would probably have it be tied the GFWL, require Win 7 and DX12, and be for controller only.

If they were smart:

Make GFWL optional
Make it cross platform
Don't -blam!- touch the gameplay, just spruce up the visuals
Make a good editor and custom map maker
Keep the race gametype in.

But they won't so don't get your hopes up.

Apparently Halo:CEA was developed using HPC/HCE's codebase so it'd be nice to see it finish life back on the PC.

I have my reservations though.

  • 07.06.2011 5:57 AM PDT

I seriously, seriously, serioulsy, seriously doubt that halo CEA will be on PC.

I actully got angry at the part which says "Microsoft has been pushing PC gaming a lot more" the fact that the idiot wrote this in his articly shows that he does NOT know anything about the current PC gaming situation with Micro$oft. No new developers want to publish games with GFWL due its horrible updating and crossplatform problems and the fact that Steam is the more popular, more open comunity.

Microsoft pushing PC gaming? LIES! Where is Halo 3/ODST/Wars/Reach PC? Where is Gear of War 2/3 PC? Where is fable 2 PC?

Untill this "Simon Priest" gets his facts, strait I'm going to keep my scepticism.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Where is Gear of War 2/3 PC?

That decision is solely up to Cliffy B and Epic Games.

Ok, never followed Gear of War. But Microsoft do publish their titles on PC.

This was in part due to the lackluster sales of the original on PC, thanks to a number of bugs which rendered the game unplayable, dissappearing saves etc. I have yet to see a console game do well on the PC (beside's the original Halo).

Halo CEA could work, as mentioned above, GFWL optional and Steam would probably help sell it, along with no pointless requirements like Halo 2 had. Cross platform should only be there for co-op, it will not work for PVP MP.

My question is what will they do with the Multiplayer if they do make CEA for the PC? Give us Reach's Multiplayer without the rest of its maps/Campaign, give us Halo: Combat Evolved's multiplayer remastered, or just no multiplayer at all? All of those options seem a bit far fetched in my opinion. I could never see them releasing CEA for the PC, personally. The only reason I couldn't see them releasing the original multiplayer with CEA is due to the fact that would be unfair towards the Xbox players. Not only that, but it would make the PC look better which Microsoft would never do.

Instead of that, I'd like to see the source code for Halo PC released to the community. That would make up for the lack of a remake in my opinion. Halo PC was the first official Halo Online Multiplayer Community. They're paying no attention to an extremely large portion of the Combat Evolved community when celebrating its 10th Anniversary, which in my mind is absolute bull-blam!-

Wait a second... if the remake is just updated graphics then couldn't the community just make new hi-res textures for the game? Think about it. Anything the good modders in the community does could probably be ALOT better than what Micro$oft/343 does.

The modders have unlimited time to make somthing while the idiots that are making the remake have a set release date. More time usually = better quality. Less time = less quality. (Halo 2)

We could make something, but not as good as you'd hope for. They had to create another graphical engine to lay on top of the original Halo: Combat Evolved engine to get it looking the way it does. The Halo PC community doesn't have the tools necessary to do that.

We could, of course, do something with it if we were to have the source code to Halo PC, which is what I'd like to ask for in return for no Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.

Halo 3 PC first anyone?

Lolno. To everything.

Wouldn't mind it..but it would not fare well againts recent PC titles, unless MS really went out of their way this time and seriously boost the games graphics, while including the option for GFWL or Steam...and GOOD mod tools, not the stuff we had with H2V..

My mind exactly. It's too bad the source is being used for the Xbox port.

My belief is we will never get a proper source code release, and it will have to be obtained either through deception or reverse-engineering.

Negatory. HCEA actually runs Reach's graphics engine as a sort of overlay. That's something no modder could set up.

Negative. The HPC community as a whole seems to have pretty low standards; anything that's different seems to impress them regardless of whether it's actually an improvement to the game.

This, which is why Coldsnap finds more action on HCE than maps that actually have good gameplay.

Actually, I believe Saber Interactive made an entirely new graphics engine for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. That engine looks nothing similar to Reach's in my opinion.

Yep, that's why I was amazed back in the day as how CMT was getting so many great responses to their remake of the Campaign. Personally, I felt it wasn't that great at all..

Halo FTW and the CMT aren't really getting much as much recognition as they really deserve, all their work put together would have taken years.

I hope CEA fails X) I'm getting sick of new halos one after the other almost every 2nd/3rd year. It's getting as bad as bloody Call of Duty.

In my opinion, 3 years isn't that bad. Also, it shouldn't have taken that long at all to make a really good graphical overhaul for a development team such as Saber Interactive. Also, 343i has been working on Halo 4 for quite some time now. I'd say they might have been working on it since a little after Bungie started with Halo: Reach. Personally, I hope both titles blossom. It's not really looking like Call of Duty at all to me :P

Anyone remember Halo "FTG"? I don't quite remember the circumstances of it all, but I remember that the creator of FTG was just taking credit for FTW or something.

Zetran, it won't fail, because it's the exact same game which is the reason we all come here.

It just looks pretty.
