Hell, it was even terrible for Free For All in some cases.

I concur.

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

I just want the Halo CE mutliplayer with updated graphics. Make it a $15 arcade game with leader boards. Have ranked Deathmatch, CTF, Free for All, and Action Sack.

Unlike everyone else here, I like the MP just as much as the campaign. So, I agree with you. Also throw in the PC maps.

I'd rather a free to play updated Halo: Combat Evolved for PC that's modeled after Quake Live. That's extremely wishful thinking, though.

Never knew it had problems with the right stick xD The sticks are a major part of why I love the controller. (Higher up. More control)
Interesting...

Well, people were blaming Certain Affinity/Reach for breaking Prisoner's spawns and a few other things. They didn't realize that the spawns were broken to begin with and Prisoner was always a God awful map for competitive Team Slayer. Hell, it was even terrible for Free For All in some cases.

You know that I've had more than one person tell me that they remembered not having aim assist in Halo: Combat Evolved's multiplayer on Xbox? That it had aim assist in campaign but not multiplayer. I find that most (emphasis on most, not all) of the over zealous love for the older Halos is founded on opinions that were formed before people knew the things they do now when judging the modern Halos.
I see.

I remember it but it wasn't that sticky. I've seen videos that compare the strafe of each Halo game but they have the crosshair on the opposite player. Doesn't that affect the strafe? I suspect that some of them are biased.

Talking about this by any chance?. I did that a while back when I was talking to omega about Reach having "insanely increased amounts of aim assist". Doesn't that affect the strafe?It does turn your body automatically so yeah it does. It's not really that much of a problem in that regard, though. It does make a huge difference when using a sniper, though. That is really strong. I suspect that some of them are biased.Definitely does. There's a lot of bias and denial when it comes to things you have nostalgia for. Pretty much everyone is guilty of it including myself. :P

I was thinking about this one. Thanks for the link though.

Incredible! And I thought aim assist was only when you zoomed in with the sniper.

Yep.

Industrial Strength , No Brain Required.

Yes, because I thought that this is what I'm going to have when I bought Halo : CEA.


If they manage do change between old and new graphisms it could be even better.

you just answered your own question

The only thing 343 -blam!- up in CEA was the Reach multiplayer.

Posted by: Andrei Chikatilo
The remastered campaign is amazing and looks spectacular.
arguable, some where happy with 343i's render but i considered it an insult to Halo: Combat Evolved's legacy by lazily pasting Halo Reaches graphics over Halo: Combat Evolved's engine rather then enhancing the quality and textures of the original graphics (at least then we won't have to look at retarded looking elites for the second time)


Lol CEA's graphics and art style look nothing like Reach's.


They do actually. Compare the marines of CEA to Reach, they are identical. And the grunts and elites are identical to Reach, just that CEA grunt majors are slightly redder than Reach and te elite majors are red and not orange like Reach


All the vehicles are the exact same from Halo: Reach as well. The Wraith has a turret that's not usable even though the Halo 1 Wraith never had a turret seat. The Scorpion tank just has a hole where the Halo: Reach turret would've been.

I would've been fine with it if they used Halo 3 graphics or objects since Halo 3's characters, vehicles, and objects are more similar to Halo 1 than Halo: Reach.

I agree with you. After I beat the campaign of CEA, I really had no other reason to continue playing that game. The multiplayer doesn't even have any achievements for CEA since it runs off Halo: Reach. In fact, that was my biggest dissapointment. I can't believe they would use Halo: Reach for the multiplayer of CEA. I could've lived with them using Halo 3 for the multiplayer like they did with ODST since Halo 3 is somewhat close to Halo 1. However, they should've taken the time to redo the original multiplayer instead of just using Halo: Reach which has the worst multiplayer of all the Halo games in my opinion.

Anniversary used Saber Interactive's engine as an extra graphical layer for Anniversary's enhanced visuals. They used new textures for pretty much everything. Also, they did up the resolution and textures of the original game. Can you not tell the difference between playing Anniversary on classic mode versus playing Combat Evolved on Xbox at 640x480? If you just change to classic mode it's exactly like you claim you wanted it... just without the multiplayer.

Your judgments for Anniversary are far off from truth. You ought to do more research into this sort of stuff before bashing things like this. Pretty much everything you said was completely off from the truth.


Actually, the Saber Engine used was mainly to allow Halo: CEA to display in 3D for 3DTV's. Otherwise, the rest of it was done using an overlay from the Reach Engine.

And all the textures, at least for vehicles and NPC's, are all copied and pasted from Halo: Reach. The Banshee is probably one of the most notable examples. The banshee in CEA is the exact same as the Halo: Reach banshee.

The same thing applies with the scorpion tank and wraith. In fact, the Scorpion has a hole where the turret would've been in Reach. And the turret on the Wraith is unusable in Halo: CEA. That shows that instead of creating new textures for the vehicles, they just lazily used the assetts from Halo: Reach.

Yes, we can just switch to classic mode, but the point of the remake was to improve the graphics. But that doesn't mean just copy and paste everything from Halo: Reach. At the very least, they could've just reused Halo 3 textures since Halo 3's assetts resemble Halo 1's more than Halo: Reach does. In fact, I think the Assault Rifle in CEA was from Halo 3, it definitely does look very similar, but I can't be positive.

And also, the Halo: Reach elites looked stupid compared to Halo 2 & 3. And in Halo 1, the elites didn't originally look that great. So in both the original and remake (thanks to copied and pasted asetts), we have the same dumb looking elites again.
