While I didn't expect one, the lack of a PC release makes me sad :(

But we already have Halo CE in HD :P

Someone told me that Halo didn't translate well to PC b/c the aiming was easier. I didn't find it that much easier but it was fun. I guess I'm asking another for thier opinion on that.

I just posted in the other thread, but I guess I'll repeat myself (especially since several others have already done the same):

If this remake doesn't come with 4-player online coop, (at least) 12-player online matchmaking, all the original single player shortcuts, all the button combos, and fall damage, I probably won't waste my time.

How can aiming get any easier than auto-aim that every Halo has? They probably just felt the awesomeness that is Keyboard/Mouse controls.

If this is true and of good quality, I will buy another 360 and four controllers and two copies of this game. I'm a CE nut.

Halo Custom Edition is awesome dude.

Even if the PC doesn't get a souped up version, it still has the Mods.

Complete re-make with online integration? That's better than the usual Sony route of just simple porting with updated resolution and trophies.Stevo_the_gamer
Because the remakes Sony has done needed online integration...?

Of course. Slaying gods in online co-op = greatest thing ever. Anything less is just Sony being lazy. :P

By the sounds of things no, it will just have upgraded graphics and online I think (if this source is to be trusted).

It would be awesome if Jorge just came flying out of space and crushed Master Chief, which then makes Jorge the main character in the series.

Um, no.

Just give us Halo CE with online play. I would like to play a good Halo online, not that garbage 3 or Reach.

I-Doomzday-I

For what it's worth, the PC versions of both Halo CE and Halo 2 still have a sizeable online following. Halo 2 even has Live integration.

Halo PC lag is ridiculous. You have to lead your shot by like a mile.

Nobody plays Halo 2 Vista anymore either. There were only about 3 games when I played it during the Summer. One was a 32 player FFA, the other was a 4v4 SWAT with atrocious spawns (got 3 killionaires back-to-back-to-back) and a Covy Flag played on some map I can't even remember. It was really boring since every Covenant weapon sucked in H2 besides the Plasma Pistol, by itself it sucked but if you had it with a BR it was godly.

Halo 2 didn't have 32 player online.....even on PC i'm sure of it

No, but extra effort is going into this instead of the simple port for an easy cash-in.

First BF3 and now this!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! (again lol) Wow, I can't believe it's been a whopping 10 years almost since it came out too. My shooter fix for this year is officially complete with Gears 3, BF3, and now CE remake.

It's not like either examples took much time and resources. Most remakes are just easy "cash ins" and consumers like them, so it's not like it's a bad thing.

It seems a moot point though to argue that the amount of effort going into 360 remakes is more than the amount going into PS3 remakes. :P

meh, unless they do something totally different, ill suffice with the original. Led_poison
Like add a third person camera the way Bungie originally planned after leaving the whole RTS idea

And I hope it will have split screen. Co-op over Live is just not the same as having some beers and pizza with a bro

I'll most likely be buying this game. CE is my favorite of the Halo games. Would love to play an updated version.

Bungie has been making halo remakes the entire time. See Halo 2, 3, ODST, reach etc. This should not be surprising. And knowing bungie, they'd still be using the same engine :lol:

Aku101

that's nonsense. series like battlefield and call of duty have been no where near as innovative as the halo releases. Seriously halo reach and halo 3 are mind blowingly different. Look at bad company 2 for example. The only addition was basically destruction. not to mention they took out tons of stuff.

Joystiq has learned that the previously rumored remake of Halo: Combat Evolved will indeed launch this holiday season for Xbox 360 with a full visual overhaul. Sources explain that the re-release is not Bungie's 2001 Xbox game simply running at a higher resolution -- it's being remade with new art assets. While Halo's audio will likely remain unaltered, the controls will allow for more recent Halo configurations.

The Halo: Combat Evolved remake is allegedly being developed by New Jersey-based Saber Interactive, the company behind Timeshift and Namco's upcoming Inversion, but we've been unable to confirm the nature of the engine powering it. We understand that it's something other than the Reach engine.

The Halo: Combat Evolved update, one of two Halo games currently in development under the watchful eye of 343 Industries, is expected to support 1080p resolution and 3D televisions. Details on multiplayer are supposedly still being worked out, but we understand the remake will likely feature online co-op (the original game supported two-player split-screen co-op).

The game is expected to re-evolve on November 15, 2011, ten years after Halo: Combat Evolved launched alongside the Xbox. Our sources didn't know of any plans to similarly upgrade the recently disconnected Halo 2, but it's hard to imagine Microsoft playing favorites with its biggest franchi
se.

Man, Haters can Hate all they want, but I would love to see a fully updated Halo: Combat Evolved. New control schemes, updated graphics & (same) physics, smarter A.I., slightly changed level design, online co-op, and please Xbox Live multiplayer. I would love to play some Team Snipers on Boarding Action, Rockets on Prisoner, Team Slayer on Damination, CTF on (the original) Blood Gulch, FFA on Chiron Tl34, and Big Team on Sidewinder. Please Microsoft?

That would make a lot of people upset. Some people hated those features in Reach, and others want the C.E. experience to be pure. The only way not to piss people off is to just update the graphics, add online, fix some bugs, add new maps, etc. and keep everything else such as physics, level of auto aim, etc. the same

Still hoping for a PC release of Halo 3, ODST and Reach. :(
