halo anniversary
    #14818545 - 07/24/11 04:07 PM (12 years, 6 months ago)

i guess this was announced a month ago but i didn't hear about it until now. they're remastering the original halo and selling it for $40 with online multiplayer and co-op. at first i was excited, but there are 2 things i don't like:

1) the graphics upgrade is all layered on the original halo CE engine, which means the graphics, while better, still can't compete with the halo reach engine. if i'm paying $40 for a campaign i've already beat hundreds of time, i at least want the graphics to be sick.

2) the multiplayer is copied exactly from reach, with only 7 of the original maps included. in fact, the maps will be released for reach as DLC, so you don't even need to buy this game to play them. i've already played reach to death, but i only got to play the original halo set up online a few times (xbox connect). why aren't they using the original multiplayer setup/balance? it was amazing.

You can damn well bet Bungie will bunghole it up.  (grabs cane) I remember back in the day when you sucked at an FPS you got your ass handed to you until you got better.  The current generation of FPS players is breast fed and coddled into thinking there is such a thing as a "skill gap".

They should have re worked the networking code and released it as that, but the feature creeps at Bungie will take that mile and transform a classic FPS into a shitty port for "Generation Me". I hope I am wrong though, I would love to play this without dealing with the new age bullshit they put into games.

i really agree. they say the campaign is literally identical, even keeping the old weapon stats, just with new graphics.

however, the multiplayer is going to be a carbon copy of reach's with all the new junk (armor lock, etc).
