Always up for REACH customs!
In the recently released HCEA trailer that you can view on YouTube here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW_GT2OP3X0&feature=player _embedded#! if you look at the Wraith visible at 1:14 you can clearly see that it has a gunner's seat like the Wraiths in Halo 3, ODST and Reach.
It's visible in this screenshot. Looks like a scene from "Two Betrayals". http://i.imgur.com/2IdTe.jpg
The Wraiths in Halo CE did not have plasma cannons. The main mortar was their only armament. This Wraith is one we've never seen before, it has the plasma cannon like in the newer games, but it's plasma mortar resembles the simplistic one in CE. That's more than an aesthetic change, it's a gameplay change.
This shows that despite what 343 has said, HCEA is not a simple graphical remastering of the original, and there might be more changes out there. Have you spotted any others? And of course, what happens when you switch between the new and the original version when near something that's changed?
