Subject: It'll have Reach multiplayer, but will it have CE multiplayer?

As fun as Reach is, I was wondering if the original multiplayer will be optional for online play. I assume it is, but I haven't heard anything on this subject.

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

From everything official that has been released, that does not seem to be the case. The only thing "original" that is coming out in Anniversary is the campaign.

That's definitely not the case unfortunately which is just retarded. What I'm wondering though is do they still have the original multiplayer maps with updated graphics for Lan and for system link so we can play on XBC or Kai at least.

It'll be reach multiplayer, but I think they're releasing the multiplayer maps from CE to be played in Reach. Just with up to date graphics.

There only remaking some of the original Halo Ce maps though for reach. Not all of them. I think they said there will be a total of 7 maps and one is a firefight map. One of them also looked like it might be timberland from Halo custom editon on the pc.

No. It will not have it. They said the difference in netcode would alter the gameplay too much and knowing how damn picky the Halo fanbase is this would cause an enormous -blam!-storm.

LOL i know right, if you thought the -blam!- storm was bad now just think how it would be if they did do it. It would also be pretty pointless remaking the original multiplayer when reach hasn't even been out for a year, not to mention Halo 4 will be coming out next year. The project would also take much longer and most likely wouldn't even come out till 2012. Just be glad its only $40.

Yeah, Hitboxing = fail. For example, a certan user from the maw who has never played Halo 2 Xbox online links to this halo 2 bash video (its much less exreme in acutial gameplay) which shows hitboxing, but it also exists in halo 3, which also has unbalanced weps and n00b armor (recon).

Although I was upset at first, I can understand why they're not including Halo:CE multiplayer. What I don't understand, though, is why they're only giving us seven of the maps.

l am going a little of topic here but will it have all of the reach maps on mp disk or just the halo ce maps?

  • 07.10.2011 3:50 PM PDT

What annoys me is this is what people have asked for but 343 are too ignorant to realize it. When they said "People having been asking for this for a long time" they meant so they could play the MULTIPLAYER online.

One disk, an interview confirmed it, one of the videos allowed you to just make out what was on the main menu and "Reach Multiplayer" was an option.

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

343i might make it like Halo CE for the Pc with multiplayer in mind.

What are you smoking? 1 disc, 7 new maps. That's it. No Defiant or Noble Map pack.
