So I've been putting off buying Anniversary for a while now, and I have a question. Would I be better off buying the game or just getting the map pack and sticking with Reach? I'll probably end up getting it at some point in my life just for giggles, but as for right now what would the b-net community suggest?

Is that the best you can do?

OT: If you like the CE campaign then I would get it.

Oh yeah I loved it, I just wasn't sure if it really is the exact same game as it was or not.

You would be paying $25 for the CE campaign so if that's worth it to you go with the full game, if you're only going to play it once and never again or already have the original CE I would just buy the maps.

I just bought the maps off eBay for $7 and saved $33 knowing I wouldn't play the campaign again because I already have CE, wasn't worth the money for HD graphics to me.

I'm not really an Apple person (Bananas forever) but damn, that's kinda sad.

If you haven't played Combat Evolved before, get CEA.

Otherwise, it's more of the same thing you saw before, not worth it imo.

What about the multiplayer? Do people actually play it often or is most of the community still in Reach?

I would say go ahead and get CEA, even if you have played Halo 1. I enjoyed the new graphics, skulls, and terminals. Plus, the new maps / Anniversary Playlists are pretty good. Also, if you buy the map pack by itself now, it'll be kind of a waste of money to buy CEA later.

This is what I'm afraid of.

It's populated enough that you won't have trouble finding matches, but the majority by far plays Reach default.

Eh, get CEA to complete your collection if anything

In space, no one can see your shame. The utter beauty of the stars and galaxies will leave you lost in the desolate wasteland of rocks and dust, and that, children, is why astronauts are crazy people.
On a side note, I am a grammar & vocab-friendly guy. So don't assume I'm a smart ass if you get into a complex argument with me...
