Sudd3nly 0wn3d---Colonel Grade 3 (AND PROUD OF IT!)

Anyways, as you all know, the important day, November 15, 2011, 343 Industries will be releasing Halo CEA, or in other words, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. This will be a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved (also known as Halo 1) and it will be in HD. Now the question is about this, I have heard multiple suggestions on how the disc(s) will work.. This kind of confuses me on what it will be like. Such as Halo: Reach and all being the multiplayer disc, and Halo CEA disc being the campaign and stuff (basically being two discs.) Then I have heard that it will be one disc, but there will be a voucher to upload the remastered classic maps onto your previously owned Halo: Reach disc. Now I am a huge Halo fan, and I love quick responses. Please if any of you know for sure what might happen with these, please post in this forum and let me know.
Oh and also, I have signed up to be a beta tester. Does this mean if they make a Halo 4 beta that I might be able to beta test this game through the Halo CEA disc? Thanks

from what ive seen halo CEA is just basically going to be halo reach 2 which is -blam!- because halo reach was bungies biggest fail in my opinion and was more like cod than halo

Yeah, I haven't played very much of Halo 3, but I really enjoy Reach, Call of Duty on my opinion---it's overrated and it just keeps getting worse. :D. So any of you CoD fans out there, DON'T BUY THE NEXT CALL OF DUTY, IT'S -blam!-! Sorry for that sudden outburst... Anyways where were we? Oh, yeah, Halo CEA..

well even if halo CEA is halo reach 2 ill probably still get it just to try it out just in case it isn't halo reach 2, but im still disappointed that the halo CEA assault rifle looks exactly the same as the halo reach assault rifle which i really hate.

You guys are so uniformed, it's nuts. Did you not even look at the announcment trailer, or look up any information at all before posting this stuff?

Look this is how it's going to be. The campaign will be EXACTLY THE SAME AS HALO:CE'S WAS. They are only putting on a new skin to make the game look nice and a few Easter Eggs that in all liklyhood will have no effect on the game. That's it. You can even switch the graphics back to the old one's with the touch of a button, apparently with no loading times or any of that, just an instantaneous swich.

Finally, they will be adding 7 maps for Halo Reach's multiplayer. They will be on the separate disc and you can play them without owning Reach. Some will be from Halo 2 I believe, and at least one will be a 'very appropriate' firefight map.

If you don't like Reach, don't worry about it and just play the Campaign disc.

Damnation and Hang 'em High are 2 confirmed maps.

Actually, it will all be on one disc and the three confirmed maps are Battle Creek, Hang 'Em High, and Damnation. You know a lot more than these guys, but, it doesn't really seem you looked up enough information either.

Another thing is that there will be loading times when switching back to old graphics. They're on separate cache files, so, they have to load. The more you do it in one session the less time it will take to load, though.

Also, these people obviously came into gaming at a time where Single Player doesn't matter at all. They don't realize Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is mainly about the Campaign because all of their games have been completely about the Multiplayer.

The re-mastered campaign is exactly the same as the old Halo CE, same engine and all, just better graphics and feel around it. You can even be sure of this because by pressing down on the D Pad it switches back to the old game and what it looked like back then. However, Matchmaking will be using Reach's online multiplayer, but dont worry, when Halo 4 comes out 343 will be using their own Online.

The people who say all that have no idea what their talking about. I'm thinking ODST. Don't know for sure I'm just as clueless as everyone els who says something.

By this, do you mean the two disc set also featured in ODST? And, is it is multiple discs, then will the original Halo Reach maps be including along with the remastered Halo 1 ones?

OH, AND ALSO!! Another question, even though for instance the map on Halo Reach which was included in Forge World, they have a section of it kind of like Blood Gulch. Will they actually use Blood Gulch in Halo CEA? I mean come on, this as we all know was one of the most popular of all of Bungie's maps, and one of my personal favorites.... I really hope they bring it back. What do you guys think?

They confirmed they would not be remaking Blood Gulch considering the one in forge world is an updated version. As cool as it would be its not going to happen.

"well said mini moose"

In an interview video you can, just barely, see the main menu, one of the options is "reach multiplayer.

Also, if they find some reason to remove the sniper rifle night vision.... something bad will happen...

Also, 343 is making halo 4 not bungie, you will play a game bungie comes up with, I.E. no halo.

There's no point. Hemorrhage plays close enough to Blood Gulch.

Dang...that is depessing, but hey you know what maybe they will make it purchasable DLC pack. What I am saying is that I liked the texture of orange more than the newest version of Blood Gulch, it kinda sucks this way now.. Ugh I really hope they find some way to redo it...
