Halo CE Remake

[persnicityninja]

So this is a thread to talk about the upcoming halo remake, I for one am incredibly excited for it and wanted to know other peoples thoughts on it.

Some facts of note:
- It's still Halo 1 underneath the new coat of paint. In the same style as Monkey Island Special Edition, you can instantly switch back and forth between new and old Halo.
- The multiplayer is Halo Reach's multiplayer, but with Halo 1 maps. It even integrates into the same system.
- It will not be a full price game. They will be discussing the price points this week.

Seems to be in a similar vein as ODST. One disk for the campaign, one disk for the online maps (this is just speculation).

hmm I like the switch from old to new, that sounds interesting

I read somewhere it would be 40$ wich is great, I'm a bit disappointed that it's Reach's multiplayer, I was expecting some classic multiplayer action...

[one of them]

Seems like they still have a while to go, that gameplay was a bit choppy.

I have Halo CE for the PC. Why do I need this?

[Bloodshed269]

I still want no melee weapons, and the old warthog.

[Crack5800]

I'm also excited for this classic to be rebooted. It's been a while since I've played Halo CE so I'm looking forward to it

[Jesus123]

I still want no melee weapons.

Cool story, they originally planned on adding the Energy Sword as a usable weapon in Halo 1 but scrapped it as well as the Jackal's shield.

[Elite]

I bet modded Custom Edition will still look better.

[persnicityninja]

man just played halo CE and hope they keep the first person passenger seat in the game but want better warthog physics.

[Nuttz]

I'm pretty sure they've said they're not changing physics at all.

[hunterhunter]

yes!!!

can't wait to see how the flood will look...

or not..they were already creepy looking.

The Library..... Gezus thats gonna be insane

[hunterhunter]

The Library.....

[one of them]

They'll probably make The Library easier.

[Elite]

They'll probably make The Library easier.

Yeah, I remember that part being very hard.

[Paradox Viper]

They've already said to journalists, in regards to The Library: "Don't worry, we know."

[Elite]

Now that I think about it, I found that part challenging and fun. Does that mean they are going to dumb it down for today's audience?

[Deadly]

Why would they make it easier? That's stupid.

[one of them]

I think he meant that they won't. That level was really hard though, I remember the awesome feeling I got once I finally got through it.

[Nuttz]

I doubt I could find a source, but I read somewhere that all they were changing was some visual cues to make it easier to navigate so that you didn't get lost all the time.

[one of them]

I think you heard that in a G4 interview during E3. I remember hearing that too.

[hunterhunter]

yea..it got to the point where I had to shoot the floor so I wouldn't get lost.

flood+lost=scary ass level

[persnicityninja]

Yeah not saying I want anything really changed about that level, just saying with the new graphics the flood will be amazing. I actually looked at some of the points in different levels and just imagined them with good graphics.... then jizzed...

[Paradox Viper]

My problem with the library wasn't that it was tough, it was that the entirety of that level was comprised solely of that same identical giant corridor, then waiting at that same identical door for Guilty Spark to open it, about four times in a row. It was so horribly repetitive that it was a wonder I didn't fall a sleep while playing it.

Most of the levels in Halo were copies of each other.

Sometimes you even played them backwards.
