Holy ****; you said something sarcastic, AND funny... Actually, there is a lot of mystery that BUNGiE didn't explain in there campaigns. A lot of people say that Master Chief landed on Marathon or whatever. Some people say he never woke up. Either way, I'm satisfied with all the Halo's. Another Halo by BUNGiE is what I'm waiting for. It means extension to MLG.
In all honesty, I go back and play Halo sometimes and at certain points the campaign gets awful dull. If they refined parts of the campaign that were kinda repetitive and boring I wouldn't mind at all.
Yeah, the campaign definitely spent a little too much time on backtracking and putting you through levels that were basically all the same. "The Library"... shudder. But a lot of it was really cool. And of course I played multiplayer into the ground.
The Library is definitely one of the missions I'm talking about. That and the mission just before the last level (both names escape me) parts of assault on the control room and parts of two betrayals
Its a good idea in theory, until you actually think about it. For it to be a remake, they have to leave everything the same. I've got a feeling they would stick bloom, armor abilities and other gimmicks like that which means it truly won't be CE. I'll only judge it on the final product if it is made but I don't see them making it better then the original.
I'm going to stay positive and not even think about them adding armor abilities and other nonsense. While Microsoft likes to stretch things out longer than they should be, they also know that Halo has a VERY strong community backing it, and know how pissed off they'd be if they ruined the game that started it all. There's just some things that they really can't do out of fear of the terrible backlash from the community that would hurt their profit. If they're scared enough of the community to be reluctant to make a movie for Halo, they're going to keep the bullshit to a minimum in a remake of the original game. They have stupid ambitions, but they're not completely retarded. I'm not holding my breath or anything, but I'm not going to commence straight to bitching when I don't know anything about their plans for it. As for a Halo 3 sequel. It will happen. The ending completely suggested a sequel.
I'll die laughing when kids start saying, "What? No armors to unlock? No ranking system? What's my inspiration to play?" btw... why is this in the Halo Reach forum?
If it's true I'll end up buying it, but it will never be better than the original Halo: Combat Evolved.
Add in the CE weapon and map selection from the PC version, glitz up the graphics, keep the gameplay the same, add online multiplayer, retain ALL of the Easter Eggs and their accessibility and I'll be happier than a Grunt with a Food Nipple. Oh - adding a Forge would be loverly if they can do it better than Reach.
Just hope they dont have armor abilities, im fine with having sprinting though. As long as it looks as good as reach and has multiplayer, forge, invasion, firefight and flood as the infected in infection, I'm buying it. Oh, and a goddamn option to be a brute in multiplayer.
Halo:CE was fun but i think that was mainly because of playing with mates on splitscreen all time. If it came back exactly way it was with better graphics It wouldn't be that fun to play online IMO and people nastulga would quickly ware away and change into billions of complain threads "This isn't the same " "This is the same " "I know best in game development!" like with any new game but it will probably be fun just I dunno how they can beat Reach because even with its few flaws I love it .
Honestly, I have nothing to say specifically about the remake on Halo: CE, except it is very likely I will buy it, more or less because all my friends will have bought it. Other than that, the real reason I'm posting is to be negative towards 343 industries. I don't think that it's possible to screw up "this" game in particular, being made with basically the same engine and context already laid out. However, I do not, DO NOT, want to see the Halo franchise run into the ground. I'm hoping that 343 is not another modern Disney corporation, taking something so cherished and prized by so many and endlessly try to revitalize it. Honestly, Halo 3 was probably my most played, likely my favorite game I've ever bought, due to everything it had, and all the friends I met. Bungie went in the right direction, Halo is officially done, both in my view and likely theirs. Tldr: (read it) 343 industries does not need to make a joke out of halo. K, I'm done bitchin.
Well...I'd certainly love to forge on some of these CE maps...though I'm not sure a non bungie game will have the feature, one can hope. I think it'll be fun. And if you read carefully, it's not like they won't be releasing a sequel to halo 3. "arrive ahead of a full Halo 3 sequel in 2012. If these details turn out to be legit a perfect release date would be next year" Next year is 2011. Meaning Halo CE remake in 2011, Halo 3 Sequel in 2012 So I'm happy.
They're not going to be pumping games out that fast using a brand new engine, so these next few games can be assumed to be using iterations of the Reach engine which is an iteration of the Halo 3 engine. So yeah, forge (and theater) should be easy to include.
