my idea... bungie should use the same grafix the same non-player AI and ever effect they use in H3, and remake Halo1 and 2, and put them on one disc with H3, but you cant choose whitch one to play you should have to start from the begining and finishing the game to the end it would be named HALO: The Trilogy. example: your playing Halo1 and a marine drives you through the level instead of you being the driver and you should also be able to dual-weild.

Remake H1 and H2, leave H3 the same!

so that do you think of my idea for Halo:The Trilogy?
if you have any thoughts, ideas, examples, that why my idea would be great, post them!

That would be cool. They would have to either make a long movie that sums up between Halo and Halo 2 or they could just fill it in with a few extra levels. Either way that would kick A$#. Great Idea.

thanks. yeah that would be awsome, it should start of with a few levels that you and the other spartans try to defend Reach, then halo1, then levels for between 1 and 2 like you said, then Halo2 then H3 it would be sweet!

I forgot about reach. Another great Idea dude.

It'd be cool as a bundled package, but actually remaking the old games would make them feel unauthentic. I say keep the existing games as they are. However, I wouldn't mind some truly 'classic' weapon sets in Halo 3. Shoot, I'd love a Marathon mode. Zeus-class fusion pistols on Lockout, anyone?

yeah, it should definitely be after H3, because there's no way they could do this by the time H3 ships. I don't think it'd be infeasible because I'm sure Microsoft would be willing to shell out cash just so they could get Halo-anything out. TBH I dunno if Halo 2 needs to be remade, but I would definitely support the idea of a remade Halo 1. Btw, should they even bother to remake the muliplayer in either game? It wouldn't be compatible with H3's MP (because if it were then it'd be redundant) and it might split up the Halo online community.

They would release it about half a year-a year after H3 comes out einstein

I forgot they should make all 3 games 4 player co-op or even 8 player co-op if you do system link

IMMORTAL.

Sweet! There would have to be multiple disks though.

I doubt that will fit on one disc. actuall, I know that wont fit on one disc. Instead of doing that they should, make a prequel to all of the halos. It should be called the fall of reach and play from a marines perspective. That would be cool

One HD DVD, plus if all games would be using the same bitmaps and sounds then all 3 games would only need one shared map file.

Do you have any idea how much time, money, and energy that would take? All three games use entirely different engines. You can't just important the objects/maps into the Halo 3 engine and expect everything to magically get pretty.

Beyond this, you have another huge gameplay problem: They are three different games you want to make seemlessly connect to create one large game. But your biggest most obvious problem there is the weapons in Halo 1, 2, and 3 are all different. You couldn't dual weild in Halo 1. Even if they extorted the retarded ammount of energy it would take to ENTIRELY REMAKE these games in a more advanced engine (Read as: Not only would they have to start from scratch with the new engine, they would have to use more time on high defenition textures, sound etc) but they would have to redesign the weapon systems in first and second game as well, which would create balance issues (unless you don't mind suddenly having entirely different weapons and the realization on how to dual weild and mount vehicles).

It would take a long, long time to recreate Halo 1 and 2 in the Halo 3 engine. Likely longer than the games originally took to make individually since you're dealing with a graphically advanced system. So you can go ahead and consider the production time of Halo 1 and 2 and then multiply that by at least 50% (I'd say more, but Bungie staff has since increased). Then add to that secondary production things such as seemless interface design, music, sound, physical production, marketing, liscensing, etc etc etc.

Now, do you really want them doing that for a year(s) or would you rather than bring downloadable content, patches, and bug fixes to Halo 3 and start working on the next kick-ass bungie project?

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

No.

On the grounds that Halo and Halo 2 would lose their 'feel' and I (and many around me) already have both of those games and it would be pointless to buy an updated version.

They should remake Halo 1 ONLY, ad some new missions and include xbox live multiplayer.

I like the idea but when I buy Halo 3 I wanna play Halo 3. Not Halo 1 & 2 all over again. I do that every day anyways,
