I just have a few questions regarding the sifts between the classic and graphically enhanced modes of HCEA, so if anyone knows the answers that would be great. Thanks.

1) Will toggling between the modes also affect the sound effects?

2) When you switch to classic mode, how will the new terminals appear?

3) See 2, and for skulls?

4) Will we be able to make the switch during cutscenes?

All good questions
1) I assume so
2) Maybe they're not terminals in the Halo 3 sense
3) Do we have to find those
4) Probably

1. No. The sound effects and music with remain the same (remember, all the old sounds are being redone and remastered, so no old stuff).

2. We are not certain. Probably just under-textured versions of their 2011 versions, which probably don't even look like how they do in Halo 3.

3. Again, probably under-textured versions of the 2011 versions.

4. Yes, I believe you are able to do so.

More then likely the terminals would be inside a wall, but when you switch to the new graphics then that wall would have a hole with the terminal built right into it. The skulls would probably be the same skulls used in oddball for Halo 1 and then Reach skulls for the new graphics.

Good players work together...and no matter how good you are, you're not physic. - blade6321

1) Yes. They've recorded new sounds for weapons and I'm assuming other sound effects (they all sound beautiful).

I think everything else has been answered pretty well.
