Subject: Gonna trade in a bunch of games, should I get CE:A?

Just curious here... I already have the anniversary map pack, as well as CE as an Xbox classic in my library, but I was just wondering whether it'd be worth buying CE:A (pre-owned) if I traded in a bunch of games I don't play any more...

(For interest, the games are:-

. AC 1
. AC 2
. AvP
. C&C Kane's Wrath
. Guitar Hero + Guitar
. maaaybe Black Ops
. Rage
. possibly a few more, will have to look through my games - but the above I'm definately interested in trading in)

EDIT:

. Bioshock 1 as well.

- Thoughts?, will I be able to trade in that lot for a pre-owned CE:A And will that be worth it considering I have the Anniversary Map Pack & CE Xbox Classics on my Library?

Oh yeah I forgot, feel free to suggest other games (doesn't have to be Halo...)

Thanks.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Yes, get CEA.

If you already have the maps and still have CE, than there is no point getting CEA unless you can get it for real cheap.

CE:A is by far the best thing that has happened to Halo Reach and Halo in general since 9/14/2010.

Campaign: Amazing. Not only are the graphics sweet, it has 3D capabilities.

Multiplayer: These settings are so amazing. The gamespeed is so much faster, making the game playable.

CEA is great. Get it.

Now you see here's the thing... I have played CE:A Before (a friend of mine bought it and brought it round) - and I must say it was fun playing the campaign in HD, but it's just the nagging feeling in the back of my head that if I did trade all those other games in (you can add Bioshock 1 to that list too btw) I'd have wasted the cash I spent on the Anniversary Map Pack AND Halo CE Classic... but on the upside - HD CE... honestly dunno lol.

- I guess I'd be buying it for the campaign only... are all those games worth 1 campaign, albeit a very good HD one?

Honestly all those games aren't worth ONE remake.

What would you suggest then? :) Instead of CE:A?

  • 02.03.2012 3:48 PM PDT

AC revelations is defiantly the game you should get. You already have everything CEA has to offer and all those games are not worth a game you already have.

  • 02.03.2012 4:02 PM PDT

Hmm I kinda lost interest in the AC series after playing AC2 (which was incidentally my first AC game) - while it was good I found it for the most part far too easy... - and for the other parts furrowing my brows at the logic fail of guards in full armour being able to do the ninja leaps, climbs and so on that I could do wearing no armour... that and the timed stuff got on my nerves. :/

so play multiplayer, alot of the issues that were in brotherhood have been fixed and it makes for a much more enjoyable game. The single player is still fun with the addition of the hook blade and the various bomb types.

Yes, it's nice to play the game in full screen with pretty graphics. But I only did this once, I now only play on original graphic mode.

Honestly CEA is worth trading in all those games. I'd advise against AC Revelations, I'm an AC fan and I was disappointed. Gameplay was very monotonous and story was short.

  • 02.03.2012 6:10 PM PDT

Dude I just want to say that you should NEVER trade any games in unless it's a emergency because trust me man i've made so many mistakes cause of that for example I bought a couple of games played them had fun but then I decided to trade them in for some game and then I remembered how stupid I was for trading them in because remember when you walked into gamestop and said yes i'm going to get a new game today and then your at the moment when you pay and then BAM! they say 'That will be $60.00 please.' And then you say okay and give them the money but remember you spent all that money so you can trade those games in just to get ripped off by gamestop by getting not even a quarter of what you paid for all those games. So please just trying to give you some good advice. :)

OT: Sure, why not. Your games, your choice.

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

CEA, the campaign is awesome and the new firefight maps that are included in multiplayer are wicked.

AC campaigns were always doable in a day or two if you ignored everything else.
But I do have to add it is much faster to do them now than in AC1

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

CEA should be the last game you get. Just saying, it's a remake. If you want it that bad, you can get the original for 800 msp off of the arcade.
