*Boom*...Head Shot !

Hey did anyone try puting in the origenal copy of Halo CE for the XBOX in the 360 lately? The game engines are so close it will try to update.

Its nice to know they tryed to keep it as origenal as possible but with updated graphics.

however, its so terribly disappointing that they remade the Campaign without remaking the multiplayer. no disrespect, but the multiplayer is what made the game famous. we used to play XBC for hours on end because you couldnt play the game on live. I heard bull-blam!- comments like "the engine cannot be remastered in HD on live for multiplayer" But then you can play coop campaign over live, so i know thats a retarded lie. Its such a major disappointment that so many people wanted the multiplayer remade and they never did it. Furthermore, you can tell that the makers of the game dont know why Halo CE was the best because they prove it by not bringing back the most popular maps (Chill Out and Blood Bulch)
If they think remaking some maps on a Reach engine and heading the gametype "see the pistol, be the pistol..." or whatever, is anywhere close to the original is assanine. A blooming reticule and an 8 round clip is a poor second effort when they actually thought they knew what they were doing.
But, most importantly...

The makers of all the new halos must have had nothing to do with the original because of the most important discrepency, the timing. The respawn times in Halo 1 were based on the start of the game, not when the item was picked up. The weapons and power-ups were the most important thing about the game and thats what made it great. The weapons were more powerful also. The only weapon that they upgraded was the needler which is -blam!- anyway. And, the sniper hasnt changed, the only reason its easier to use in all other halos is because masterchier runs slower and you dont have to lead your shots. and the plasma rifle froze your opponent in his steps giving it its unique characteristic.

If the makers of this game know anything then they will somehow figure out how to update the game and make it possible to play over live.

agree with most of what G l241L said - HALO C.E's popularity was thanks to its multiplayer, the campaign was good for a week or 2 but once you finish it, it's just never the same.

i remember in the E3 launch trailer they said: "10 years ago, HALO offered over a billion hours of entertainment", they should have realised only 100 hours or less was spent on the campaign

@G l241L

There's a lot of things you don't understand. How Halo: Combat Evolved was designed did not allow for good online play. Seeing as though you played XBC you know how terrible it worked. It worked just about as bad on the Halo PC port. The Halo PC port was even slightly adjusted for online play. They didn't have enough time to get it released on the right date (The Anniversary) and have a properly working Xbox Live multiplayer. Even if they did have time they would have had to make changes that would be noticed by all the community. Most of the Halo: Combat Evolved community would have raged at any of the changes they would have taken.

Point being there is no way 343 Industries or the community could have won in the terms of the multiplayer staying as Halo: Combat Evolved's original. The best thing they could do is celebrate through the Campaign and give us a Reach map pack. The reason Chill Out and Blood Gulch aren't there is due to the fact that both of those appeared on the 360 when the entire point of the remake/maps is to bring the things that never got a chance to be seen in this generation's hardware to it.

Another thing, why the hell are all you ignorant fools calling it "the Reach engine". It's not just the damn engine, the maps are on the game, not an entirely new game made from the engine. Only someone who doesn't understand the concepts of game development would actually look at that and consider it being made in the "Reach engine". To help you understand what I mean, Halo 4 will be made in the "Reach engine".

No. Just no. Talk to HIH to get a more in depth reason as to why I say hell no.

Dr Syx. i bet you are one of the makers or atleast someone involved in the development. i can tell by the way you back up the makers and i can also tell by the way you rejected path 1k's remark. you obvously dont have a clue and you probably werent very good at the first game to begin with. I played xbc constantly and loved every minute of it. sure there was lag but i have been playing it for 10 years now because the fools of bungie refuse to make anything thats even close to the original. It may be impossible to remake the exact Halo CE multiplayer, whatever, i can live playing xbc on occasion or LAN with my friends. But, you cant tell me that its impossible to do away with the blooming reticule and add four more rounds to the pistol in reach to make it the same. thats just ridiculous. and the timing of the power-ups and weapons could easily be updated on the game and radar could go away. those are simple updates. and thats the basis of halo. not the campaign. and not what we've seen in multiplayer for the past 7 years. the only Halo that has been made is the orininal. All the rest just say "Halo" on the cover.

  • 11.19.2011 2:18 PM PDT

come on man really??? who the hell is gonna play the same campaign over and over and over??? thats retarded the multiplayer was the breakthrough phenomenon. the campaign was cool and ill admit i played it more than once, but the multiplayer was what everyone played. just like every other FPS. i cant believe your even gonna argue lmao

it should introduce a setting in which you can alter the respawn times to make the game like the original. but that does sound kinda cool

No because in halo the clock starts ticking when the game starts not when the item is picked up. In all other halo imposters the time doesnt start ticking til the item is picked up. For example, if you pick up the overshield in the pit (halo3) at 8:50 it will return at 5:50, three minutes after it's picked up. On the original game... Let's use chill out as the example since it was the most played team slayer map. The overshield respawns every minute based on when the game starts. So if no one grabs the overshield for the first 45 seconds it doesn't matter the overshield will still respawn 15 seconds later. This is what made halo CE so much more competitive than all the others. If someone had the sniper, no matter. It's still coming back based on it's respawn time. This way no one could beat you because they had a better initial spawn close to the sniper, because everyone could have one. That's Halo!

Halo 4 follower is a joke. The only thing confirmed in that video in that the game will be on the 360.

Its time for you to die.

Wow... Seriously? You think I work at 343 Industries because I backed them up? Then, after thinking that, you say I must not know what I'm talking about?

I'm joining in with the idea that these forums ought to require a mandatory IQ test before posting. This -blam!- is getting ridiculous.
