1337 speak. Internet language basically as well.

Well, there is also twitter that has a 140 character limit.

Constraining complex and/or intricate thoughts and ideas into a 140 character string that fits in a text message. It dumbs downs the discourse and precludes subtlety and subtext. Or more simply if trains people to think small thoughts.

oh gawd, the horror! stop it! stop it now!!

This is absolutely true, I use twitter to announce new maps and receive text notifications from my servers, but like any new paradigm it has a place and purpose. Unfortunately it has pervaded the popular culture to such extent that it is no longer the exception. Video, such as Youtube, and mob or crowd sourcing has replaced research and books as the authoritative information source because it is quicker and simpler to digest, just as "texting" has replaced conversation as an accepted mode of behavior.

I don't want to turn the clock back or go back to olden times, heaven forbid, because there is no going back. It is just that "older" people like myself have a different viewpoint that can only come with time. I watched and helped this information age come about. The teens today are the first generation to ever have such easy access to the exponentially growing source of raw information. Whereas earlier generations found mostly vetted information in school or in books at the library. The grand social experiment is now in progress and without the ability to reason at a much earlier age than previous generations it could go drastically awry. It may not I can not really predict.

Just the fact that people have overlooked the subtext of my original statement, focusing instead on the 140 characters, is an example of what I am talking about. Literal thinking comes from constant exposure to literal statements which are by technical necessity encapsulated within 140 characters.

That is what I am saying and as you indicated the forum is not the place nor is it the way people should constrain their thinking.

But I digress way to far, as only the moderator can: lets return to the topic: Halo CE Remake!

So I didn't want to read through all the 12 pages, but will Halo be remade or just rendered with better graphics using the same engine?

You shouldn't have to read any pages to know what this Halo: Anniversary Edition is.

Yes it's pretty much they took Halo 1, upgraded the graphics engine and made it look like a 2011 title. Everything is the same though from physics to animations.

The MP will be Reach though, except it only gives you 7 maps that you can port over onto Reach itself.

Don't worry, I still prefer books to videos. I'm 1 of the few teens ignoring the idea of the Kindle. :) Along with about quarter of my class of course. Books aren't as doomed as you think.

I think the Halo 10th Anniversary is kind of pointless.

It's like something CMT could have done, just changing all of the bipeds, weapons, textures, and vehicles; and every other model pretty much.

Legally, no, we can't. It would be modifying the source of the engine past the perimeters allowed in the EULA. Secondly, no one will do it because it would be a colossal amount of time taken from other things.

You clearly have no idea how a game engine works.

We already have people with that kind of experience in this community. And there's already a project similar to what you want called Open Sauce. Improving the engine isn't nearly as easy as you think it is, though.

CMT would celebrate the 10th aniversery with something way better than that. ;)

that's pretty impressive i have heard c+ is very difficult to learn

Not really. It's really just another language now that I think of it. The hard part really is the learning. Educators of the subject usually make their lessons complicated to make themselves seem smart(that's exactly what I did when I taught my sister how to use the computer!).

However, thanks to people like this guy:

That won't be a problem anymore.
