lol...yea it's silly. The review for the remake even says 'Great' underneath the score. And, again, I don't even like Halo.

Not an exclusive and its probably a fair score for a 10 year old multiplat game.

HAH 8.0 what a FLOP! Halo:CE is obviously the worst halo.

you missed the early days of the generation. 8.0 Was like the end of the damn world. Fanboys just thought it was an overall bad score.

It's about what I expected for the game.

The remake would have been truly spectacular if it was a remake of the campaign and the multiplayer with the original CE engine. How awesome would it be to play Hang Em High with updated graphics and the original CE engine as opposed to the Reach engine?

Add in new Firefight maps based off of the campaign levels of Combat Evolved and this could have been the greatest damn remake ever. As it stands, it's Halo: CE campaign and the rest of the stuff is Halo: Reach.

No, it wasn't. General hype has been AA. A few fanboys have stated AAA/AAAA but anyone expecting this to be anything other than fan service was just that, a fanboy.

Its not damage control, its damage prevention. It is still beyond me why he stated that when no one had said anything to prompt such a response

They never announced any of this. This is just me stating what I would want. They were very upfront with it from the moment it was announced so it met hype and did what MS said it would do. I'm just pointing out how it could have been truly spectacular, though it wouldn't have made the 10 year anniversary if what I want was included and I'd rather they work on Halo 4 as opposed to Anniversary to begin with.

Why does Halo make you so butthurt, anyway?

The lack of trolling in this thread is disturbing, let me contribute. Finally, that is the score the original deserved. The lack of overhypeness makes reviewers see clearly it seems. Also, clear GS bias that doesn't review PS3 HD remakes. The GOW Collection and ICO collection both deserve a 9 like their Metacritic scores. The only one they reviewed was the Splinter Cell Collection and that one sucked.

Wow, so a 9.7 game goes all the way down to an 8.0 for its remake? Then again, that's not so shocking as Sonic Adventure, a 9.2, going all the way down to 5.7 for its GC port.

I love halo and anniversary is a blast. The visuals and sound are upgraded but the animation is the same, so it does look stiff when it comes to the npc's. I say 8 is a good score for a ten year old juggernaut with a fresh coat. Love the back button pulling up the original visuals for comparison. A solid buy, imo.
