Be strong, Own the world, Be the world

I am a huge Halo fan, and just a gaming fan in general, and I recently bought CEA, and I'm loving it. I love all the new features it brings and all the memories it has to offer. I've been hearing lots of crap about this games by gamers on Xbox Live, YouTube comments, and friends who are Call of Duty fanboys. I personally like this game a lot, and I think it's worth every buck. The fact that it allows you to play the game in HD and go back to the old graphics with the touch of a button is enough for me, but that it also gives you a map pack to play on Reach... this game kicks tail. Since I've heard lots of crap every on other internet forums, I figured Bungie.net users would be different. So do you guys like this game?

You made the same topic twice?

I haven't bought it because of the reach map pack. If they didn't force me to pay for that at the same time I'd have pre-ordered.

I like it, it's the same game I grew up on and looks like a brand new game with the graphics update. My only disappointment with it is the fact that it lacks the original multiplayer. I would have loved to have slayed my friends like I did back in the day with some new graphics. I know we got the new maps, but they are in Reach. I do like Reach, but it's still not the classic CE multiplayer that was always awesome to play with a room full of friends.

Never, ever melee attack a hunter from behind, just don't.

I really loved the first Halo, and so I was excited to play this remake. I wasn't dissapointed as the Campaign was just how I remember it to be, and I felt nostalgic as I gunned through the Covenant Army again on my old favourite levels.

Yup, I found it to be extremly laggy on ocassions, whilst other times it worked like a dream.
Wasn't the Multiplayer on the Halo Reach engine?

UWG Great group, you should check it out.

I love everything about that game except for the fact that it's near impossible for me to grab the skull on silent cartographer.

Epic Monkey!

I can help anyone get that silent cartographer skull

Advisor CC-01/425: "We’re sending our most qualified squad to investigate. Someone important noted your excellence on Geonosis." Scorch: "You hear that, Sev? Someone thinks I'm excellent." Sev: "Well...at least that makes two of you."

only things i found to be an issue were that driving the warthog was like running through waist deep water, the new graphics were awesome but also made it harder to find things a.k.a. the travel path.

other than that things i wished i would have known before playing since was my first time...plasma pistols have no emp effect on vehicles :( , that you cant take elites energy sword, flood can kill you with a rocket launcher as you turn the corner, and how to time grenade jumps (I think i can do these now after killing myself a gazillion times trying to get the blackeye skull..only to find i had the wrong vent :/ )

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I don't like how it lags in co-op sometimes, but that's all I don't like about it. I however liked the original Halo CE more than the remake.

I enjoyed playing through the game again with a friend but I doubt I'll buy it.

The lush vegetation makes it much harder to scavenge battlefields is my biggest complaint.
Silent Cartographer skull is best gotten by rocket jumping. Took me a while but pretty easy once you spawn the crashed pelican.
I like it, but the elites now look fat and out of shape with their reach skins on.
Probably not worth buying, but it was such an important part of my life it seemed like a crime not to.

I like it a lot, Definitely worth the money, Even if it is an exact remake (Actually, ESPECIALLY because it is an exact remake. They did a good job with that part).
