I remember people rumoring about a classic mode in H3 where you play with weapons and maps from H1 and H2. I'm sure it hasn't been anounced but the last update got me thinking that Frankie slipped.
Here is what I'm talking about:
Tom Doyle, Street Fighter III: Third Strike expert, and perhaps more importantly, weapons designer, is working on a bunch of new stuff I can't mention, but also on rebuilding olde Halo weapons to take advantage of the new engine and the new level of detail. Tom uses the Covenant sniper as an example, saying, "I wanted to go back and make everything better. The Covenant sniper is one of my favorite weapons - it just feels so powerful. I wanted to emphasize that in the new version, so we're adding some detail that will really show off the building energy in the weapon."
Doesn't that sound like he's taking H1 weapons and tuning them for the 360 engine. Notice how he said he's working on new stuff that he cant talk about, then talks about him rebuilding old stuff.
It makes sense to have a classic mode being that this is the last chapter in this Halo story. I really hope they are doing this, there would be no reason for anyone not to buy this game. It would be played on live for years and years to come Guaranteed!
Dude... The Old Halo weapons mostly are in Halo 2, and are being completely rebuilt for Halo 3, he didn't say anything about CLASSIC MODE WITH OLD WEAPONS!
Besides, there was no Covenant Sniper in Halo 1.
