Too much Halo. It doesn't even look that good, the graphics are still dated as hell. Yes, it's an old build I know.

*looks at sig* No bias there ;) Haha. On topic, I'm pretty excited for this but what I'm not excited for is the multiplayer aspect. It's just Reach all over again.
I love the Halo series but Microsoft is going overboard with these games...it does at least show that 343 will do a decent job with Halo 4, but I'm not so sure they'll be updating the engine anytime soon
Nope, no bias. I play and own each Halo. I wrote that in after E3 where MS decided that throwing Halo at us every year would be a good idea.
-Snooze-
It wasn't MS's idea, it was the fans demands, get over it
Fans demand many things ... I'm very much over it thanks,what gave you the impression I wasnt? Is one not allowed to criticise Halo anymore?
We get you don't like Halo dude, then don't play it and ignore it. No developer like Bungie (and now 343i) listens to their community how they do. We wanted to play as an ODST. We wanted to play in the fall of Reach. We wanted to a remake of one of the best FPS of all time for its 10th anniversary. We wanted to explore that silly blue planet at the end of Halo 3 on legendary.
More: We wanted a survival mode, and got Firefight. We wanted a map editor, and got forge. We wanted to save clips of our best moments in multiplayer, and got theatre.

Okay and that makes it aweful? Why don't you replace it with Call of Duty is aweful? Activision is the one giving us a CoD every year.
Everyone knows COD's awful, no need for a constant reminder.
Besides, I don't think Halo is awful. As I said it was a knee jerk reaction to MS' awful E3. I think I socred Reach a 9.5 on GS, in fact. In retrospect i'd probably score it an 8 though. The multiplayer is horrible.

This. Halo still is a nostalgic game series (for me) and will always be my favorite video game.
Halo is not being rehashed at all. It obviously has many more devoted fans than COD.

Honestly quite disappointed in this project. The campaign looks fine but it baffles me that the multiplayer is jsut 7 remade maps for Reach when the original multi enabled for online play is pretty much what fans have wanted since the beginning. Its just like, why?

They don't want to fragment the Reach community with seperate games. Pretty obvious.
For $40 I can't complain. I also hear there is a way to switch the physics between Halo CE and Halo Reach while playing this. I want to experiance Halo CE with the driving physics from Halo 2 and beyond, when the vehicle physics were so awesome.

Agreed. And how much do you want?
The fact we got a remake at all tells you how much Bungie/343 cares for thier fans.

I'm starting to think we may even be able to switch between Reach and original models too, did you notice here that it shows the original assault rifle model but in the campaign demo it's the Reach model?

Is it me, or is that on GS, whenever someone criticises a game, they automatically dislike it?
How are games ever going to improve without critisicism? Halo as a series has began to stagnate to the point that people want it to return to it's 10 year old gameplay.

I was thinking it's because they didn't want to possibly split up Halo players between two games. I can see myself playing both games multiplayer though.

[QUOTE="slarkyslark"]Is this game in 720p or 1080p native???mattuk69
ofc 720p. The whole game is re-built on the Halo reach engine. ??? An engine doesnt determine resolution or fps. They could use the Reach engine and tone down graphics for higher resolutions.
[QUOTE="slarkyslark"]Is this game in 720p or 1080p native???mattuk69
ofc 720p. The whole game is re-built on the Halo reach engine. 1080p from what I remember, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's 720p now. I think that's what the rumors said before it was officially annouced.

I thought every1 new consoles can't do 1080p with decent graphics... So i thought you might of thought it was just Halo from orginal xbox and upped the res.

That's how a remake should be. Instead of just making it HD and adding achievements or trophies, the graphicly improved the entire game while keeping the gameplay the same. And being able to see how the original Halo looked is an awesome feature. It looks like it'll be great for fans and newcomers alike.
They are adding co-op over Xbox Live. As for true multiplayer, they decided not to. Reason is because they didn't want to fragment Reach's community. However, 6/7 Classic maps are being remade, and 343i is working on a title update for Reach.

The game looks... decent. Not as "next-gen" as I had hoped. But then again, they're remaking the game exactly how it looked on the original Xbox. Which means the fact that there wasn't much going on in the original, means that there won't be much going on in the remake. *Sorry if I'm not making much sense. I;ll try and clarify if I need to.*
