any one else upset that the skull was removed from CE anniversary?

  • 11.15.2011 3:30 PM PDT

it was removed because 343 didnt want to mess up the dialogue. they only changed the graphics and added a couple of skulls but kept the original dialogue.

how do you think their destroying it? they gave the fans what they wanted, to re-live the good old days.

  • 11.15.2011 3:46 PM PDT

oh my god

A -blam!- game I could go play the actual old game then waste money on this.

  • 11.15.2011 3:49 PM PDT

there is a feature that allows you to switch back and forth between the new graphics and old graphics.

that way you can play the old style or the new. your choice. :)

true you could just do that. CEA is the original with a graphic overhaul, skulls, terminals hinting to h4, achievements, oh and the ever important multi-player.

Then go do so and stop spouting your pre-pubescent trash here.

Actually, there is a very legitamate logistical reason for not having new dialogue: tracking all of the voice actors down to do more dialogue might be a pretty daunting task. Sure you could doctor up some new stuff, but we Halo nuts would have picked them apart for not having the correct voices at the correct spots and so on, ad infinitum. Plus, after ten plus years, all of our voices change, matching things up would have been rough editing/digitizing/electronic magic. There might exist some out-takes, they are all over the net, what is useable on the other hand, that is another story.

I think they realized that they just couldn't open that can of worms, it would have been a nightmare for them.

BEST SKULL EVER! Even though it took me like 20 tries to get up there lol

  • 11.18.2011 6:07 AM PDT

First thing I noticed when I put in the game. I had a little moment of silence for the fallen IWBYD. :'(

  • 11.18.2011 7:22 PM PDT

Never give up, never surrender!

To be fair, the regular combat dialogue was already entertaining.

Agreed, the Grunts always offered up some pretty interesting phrases. I'm not too disappointed about the skull not being in the game, I can't say I really played with it on in H3 or Reach.

Except they "forgot" to include multiplayer, which was a BIG mistake seen from a CE fans viewpoint. I don't care much for Reach, and i am utterly disappointed not being able to play the original multiplayer online, i would have loved that. They didn't have to remake it with new graphics, just deliver HD graphics.

On the bright side the campaign seems very competent, and I'm having a blast playing through it. The new graphics layer looks sweet mostly.
And playing this years after the original, it's still one of the best FPS i have played.

hell yeah, it should have been there insted of some of the other skulls that seem point less, who the hell wants a skull that makes you unable to use sertain guns and one that dubbles the ammo used per shot taken.

UK and Euro players looking for good local games, forums for friendly banter and tea-parties, look no further:

-OMG!!!-

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

(Online Multiplayer Gaming)

What do you mean removed? Were they originally going to have it in there then?

Or do you just mean they didn't put it in?

I was hoping it was a secret skull.

In the original Halo Combat Evolved Sgt Johnson will actually say the line: "I would have been your daddy, but that dog beat me over the fence."

So don't worry you will hear this rare line every now and then.
