Disclaimer: This isn't E3 related! ;)

Check it out guys, I am absolutely pumped! HD 1080p beautiful graphical update + online co-op + the complete Reach multiplayer collection (I have bought no DLC yet, thank god) AND 7 remade Halo CE maps? For $40 MSRP! YESSSS!

"In this exclusive look at Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, 343 Industries discusses their thoughts behind the ****c remake of the first Halo game, their vision for the title, and what fans can expect from the future of Halo."

edit: Wow, press a single button at ANY time during the campaign to switch the graphics back to the original 2001 engine, absolutely awesome. I couldn't be happier with a remake, never thought it would be of this caliber. The game looks to run great too unlike in the original trailer, I can breathe relief!

It plays like it original did, but it doesn't feel 10 years old ? :? Nice contradiction. Looks good though

Yes, I'm glad they didn't change any of the actual gameplay and nice that it is only $40. Also the overpowered pistol is back!:D

I'm still in shock about how great the graphics are, 343 industries went absolutely above and beyond with the title and put so much care into it, I was expecting some texture updates at best, but this is unbelievable! Makes me actually hyped for Halo 4 now unlike before, Halo is in good hands!

I'm confused about the multiplayer. Is it just basically just 7 new Halo 1 maps for Reach? Not a seperate multiplayer component featuring original Halo 1 gameplay?

Hopefully they'll put the maps into a seperate playlist and change up the gameplay to play more like Halo 1, ie the pistol, no armor abilities, ect

Yep. Campaign s full on CE, with a new graphic layer & Xbox Live Co-op. Physics are the same, sounds are remastered. Multiplayer is Reach.

I really wish they would have given us something plot wise regarding halo 4... Halo ceA looks pretty awesome, although its not at all surprising. The only really outstanding thing is the ability to switch between graphics layers on the fly... that is a stroke of genius. Someone got a lot of high fives on that.

I much prefer the old style of gameplay (Halo 3 being the pinnacle of multiplayer FPS for me personally), but I'd prefer a vibrant community for now. Hopefully Halo 4 is a the next multiplayer successor & reverts to the old ways, but until then I'm happy with a bolstered Reach multiplayer.

I have a feeling that Halo 4 is going to try and set itself apart gameplay wise from bungies entries. I just dont see 343 taking the stagnanting route of trying to emulate past gameplay designs. Lets face it, its time for a change. I hope we get it.

Wow, $40 is way too much for this. I still have the original if I want to play it and this would have to be $20 for me to consider it, $30 tops.

I'm personally very excited for the 7 maps for Reach multiplayer, I found the gameplay much better than 3 but still not as good as 2 (no Halo will ever be) And I haven't got any DLC yet, tons of Reach MP to play this November!

I'm just too used to 2 and 3. Much more competitive and much more of a skill gap. Reach casualized it a bit too much for my liking

Not changing the gameplay is good. But they need to have an uber hard mode. I don't know if you guys have gone back and played halo 1. But man is it easy compared to new halo games.

Anyway I thought it was interesting that "Halo 4 is the first in a new trilogy of halo games" I really hope they can continue to make awsome halo games.

All these HD remakes :

$40 : God of War 1 & 2

$40 : Prince of Persia 1-3

$40 : Sly Cooper 1-3

$40 : Metal Gear 1 & 2, Peace Walker

$40 : Zone of the Enders 1 & 2

$40 : Devil May Cry 1-3

$40 : Team Ico Collection, SotC $ ICO

----

$40? : Halo 1 remake (just the first Halo, not the second, not a collection).

I know the pricepoint can change up to the day this collection comes out, but remember Halo ODST was announced for $40 at E3, and released for $60. Either way, even at $40, I will wait for a price drop as this is just the first game, a game I've beaten multiple times, and I already own. I got the Sly Cooper 1-3 Collection for $20 for instance.

I may pick this up for $20 down the road as I own the original Halo.

Although priced at $40, I did buy the Sly Cooper Collection for on sale for $20 which came with 4 games in the pack, if you including the New Sly Cooper Move game.

I'm surprised you guys don't think this is a good value at $40, the amount of care put into the campaign alone w/ online co-op I think is easily worth it. The tons of Reach maps is just icing for me!

Yeah, it's a map pack for Reach.

That just killed my enthusiasm for this. Reach just isn't fun online.

Man, I've never seen so much hate for Reach's multiplayer in one place :? I still have friends that play it often, and the general consensus seems to be that it's better than Halo 3 online. Hmph whatever

I'm somewhat excited for this. However, my excitement is killed by the announcement of Halo 4. I knew they'd make it..... but I wish they just left halo alone after Reach. It was a good ending, just leave it be.

The original was ahead of its time, so... :P

The truth now comes out. Halo CE came from the future (our present), and travelled back in time to create its own history in our timeline. Thus it's 10 years old from our perspective, but doesn't feel 10 years old 8)

It's great......for the campaign.

But I'd pay $200 for CE multiplayer with updated visuals on live. Just the multiplayer, untouched, except for visuals.
