I've been told that when Halo: CE comes out, that Halo: REACH's Ranks will be dropped. Like back down to zero. Is this true?

I don't think it's true, but rumor or not it's worrying.

Jesus loves you! But I think you're a -blam!-

I'm worried the game will be too amazing and I might have an awesome seizure.

I highly doubt that will happen. What would be the point? It would just make people angry.

im worried that the multiplayer will be exactly like reach. meaning it will suck ass

Sorry, but the multiplayer portion is Reach. Anniversary consists of the remade campaign and seven new multiplayer maps for Reach (all of which are remakes, with the exception of one firefight map). Think of it like Halo 3: ODST, just all on one disc. Honestly though, I think I would rather have CE's multiplayer than more maps for Reach, but oh well. And if any of this info is wrong please correct me.

On topic: No, I don't really have any worries about it. They are keeping the gameplay the same, which is the most important thing.

The Halo Remake has already failed. When I want to relive the campaign experience of Halo, I play the original. The graphics may not be the HD quality that the 360 has created, but it's nostalgic.

The ONE thing that the Halo 1 Remake needed was multiplayer. It is literally the only aspect of the game that I can't re-experience right now. Halo 1 servers on Xbox Connect are empty and there is no Xbox live. With the exception of Halo PC (which is a separate entity for console gamers) I cannot play Halo 1 multiplayer without a lan. When I saw the E3 on G4 announcement that the Halo Remake's multiplayer was simply a DLC map pack for Reach, I cringed. 343 had a chance to return to Halo's golden age and they blew it.

In my opinion the games got progressively worse. I Loved Halo 1 and 2 (1 > 2 though), and extremely disliked the rest. The Depth of Halo 1's multiplayer was created by its simplicity and Bungie/343 has forgotten that. Killing an opponent with a random-blooming-rifle while flying on a jetpack may look cool in a trailer, but it is not competitive (or fun, imo). I would rather be known for sick pistol skills in H1 than DMR-bloom luck in Reach any day.

There will also be online multiplayer!

No. There is no true online multiplayer. You can access the Halo Reach multiplayer through the Halo 1 Remake disk (or in a separate disk like ODST and Halo 3). They are just releasing a few Halo 1 maps to be played in Halo Reach.

They did not remake the Halo 1 multiplayer.

Well, the videos seem to suggest otherwise. The pistol is back and is beast as ever.

if you paid any attention to 343 you woul have known the answer to that is yes.

it will also have a firefight map

  • 08.07.2011 12:22 PM PDT

My worry is that people will -blam!- about Anniversary like they do with Reach.

Name's WIlliam,

For the love of God it's pronounced mister-shag, not misters-hag.

Halo 1 did not have any sort of Xbox Live multiplayer function as far as I am aware. Were you just stating the Halo 1 did not have online multiplayer, which is why the CEmake needs it?

Also, adding a variable such as bloom to the DMR does not make it entirely random. The better player will still win nine times out of ten, or at least that's what I have found.

More on topic, my greatest fear with the CEmake is that 343i is not really making a game. Thus, we really can't judge their game-making prowess based on this product. This product is literally a game that is ten years old with hawt graphics running over the game's real graphics. I feel they should have made a unique product, or at least not used a product that was already made.

In summary: even though the game is being changed by 343i, Bungie made the game and thus 343i cannot be judged for the quality of the game.

Everything in this game is going to be exactly the same. We still have the overpowered pistol and the same HUD. The only thing they changed was the graphics and added new unlockables and terminals.

Xbox Connect is a similar service to Live that allows you to play Halo: CE with other people through the System Link function of the game. That's the best way I can explain it, I'm sure someone else can explain it better than I can. Some people also use Xbox Connect for Halo 2 now that Microsoft quit supporting it.

Really? Do you mind providing a link (supporting that Anniversary has theater mode)?

The REASONABLE Gamer

This is exactly my issue as well. I loved playing Halo: CE on the PC. The fun experience online made me enjoy It to the fullest. And I have to agree, I do not want to play Halo: CE with the same engine as Halo Reach. It just doesn't feel nostalgic or fun. I loved Halo: CE through Halo 3: ODST. But found Reach a little bit boring. Even Action Sack wasn't fun. Halo Reach was just dull and uncreative. But back to my point. 343 doesn't get It. We wan't the same multiplayer but with SOME sense of a new game. Map pack ideas can also be noticed. I would like to see map packs with maps during the time period in Halo: CE. Maybe some active bases before being abandoned In the later games. And maybe they can release the game on PC for some cross gaming experience, like in Portal 2. But hey, you can't asked for much when 343 already announced Halo 4.

Do unto others, as they do unto you.

I hope not, 'cuz it would only make sense to keep them going.
If you look at it chronologically, HCE.A is after Reach, wich would mean that if you where actually a Spartan, you would keep the same rank while moving forward in time...

And I wish that Bungie would let you change your member name as easily as you can change your gamertag,
I don't like my old gamertag,

First off, it's not the Reach engine.
I worry about the lacks of multiplayer maps, 7 maps is not enough for meh.

  • 08.09.2011 3:34 AM PDT

It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

The multiplayer will be on the same disk as campaign.

I used to have concerns, but not anymore. Halo 2 is good enough for me. CEA sounds perfectly fine.
