I think it's pretty cool to see an HD remake without a ton of gimmicky additions, even though halo 1's gameplay doesn't hold up today.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

I'll be watching the EA conference for the next hour, Even though I despise EA. I'll update everything when I get back. (Even though you guys are finding more information than I am. :P)

And when is this released again? There's still plenty of time to fix the minor errors. Look at Halo 2; the game was built in virtually a few months.

But I'm glad someone else sees the awesomeness with the environments.

DAMNIT. I was looking forward to updating the bsp, weapon, and vehicle models for CE.
I honestly hope this remake gets cancelled so we can do something like this ourselves, for the PC.

nobody bothers to mention the environments because everyone basically agrees it's amazing, but then again what do you expect, you've played reach right?

One thing I am noticing is just how much hate there suddenly is for Reach, just because this game uses Reach assets, did Reach suddenly stop being good?

I wonder the same. I'm just guessing it's the spoiled, foresake-the-recent vibe that happens when new games are announced.

@Delicon: I've played a lot of Reach and the environments in this game blow Reach's environments out of the water. I don't know what it is, but it might just be comparing the old to the new.

Reach was more of a disappointment for me.

Reach's environments were dry and boring compared to Halo 3's populated and well-designed BSPs with the perfect art-style for each one. Multiplayer design was annoying too because there were barely any (if any) outdoor and symmetrical maps.

This looks terrible, not just the marines, but the entire world and sky too.

It's so terribly busy S:

It looks like the marines are fighting in the shadows on bright daylight.

I was also fairly dissapointed with Reach. Like ODX said, the environments were huge and open, but they were very dull. Same goes for the Multiplayer.. Most of the maps were just clipped right out of the campaign with nothing really original, and there was to much reliance on Forge maps.



OUR RENDERING ISSUES WILL BLOT OUT THE SUN.

THEN WE WILL FIGHT IN THE SHADE.

These are not being made by bungie. 1ST of all.
for anniversary, They said in the interview video that its the exact same gameplay it just looks better...I hope so.
I assume that 343 realizes that people didnt really like reach and they plan on sticking to the halo way before reach and ODST.

Then why did I see reach assassinations in the demo??

Why does it matter? Assassinations have no real effect on gameplay, they just look really really cool.

You're all gonna buy it and you know it

That's true.

Because the multiplayer is Reach. The campaign is original CE gameplay, animations, and physics.

Cool. another reason to not buy it then haha!

One last gripe and I'm done. For today.



Quality stuff right here, folks.

Whoa... that looked like crap

LMAO! You two have NO IDEA what you are talking about and are completely wrong.

The crappy animations and what not are all thanks to gripings of the old bags in this community. Hooray for tradition causing limitation in gaming!

Just had to say it, but I think it's too early for us to jeer at the bad animations and rigs. There's still plenty of time between now and the anniversary date. At the same time, I'm beginning to think that feature where you switch between the modern and the original may be the reason for the old animations and rigs. Just a suggestion though.

FFS the animations are the same as the ones in CE, they are all the same :\

For those who think the game is going to be exactly like reach

This video explains that it is on reach engine but they are revamping it to be exactly like Halo 1. Same Halo 1 HUD, weapon animations, weapon damage. Everything.. even mentions the Netcode once lol.

I are disappoint.

Pretty obvious it's the Reach engine... why would they use the Halo 1 engine, point in re-doing Current-Gen code on an old engine.

Plus someone got assassinated.

What is this?!

This is terrible! When I heard remake I was thinking ok, it might look good, But this is garbage!

No I'd only get it if us true Halo 1 players get it for free.

They destroyed our game.... The textures, the models, everything if fail in this.


Well I'm gonna stick to the only good halo... THIS ONE!

What sucks is theres no SDK. lol

You're terrible. What kind of biased opinion is that? You also gave no reason how this remake was "garbage"

In multiplayer, multiplayer is using Reach's engine but the actual campaign itself is on their own engine and it looks bloody amazing. They are KEEPING the animations because it keeps the whole feel of the game. It's more of a huge revamp to all the physical content you see, but keeping the animations because they were a core part to the feel of the game.

I'm so sick of everyone whining about it. I don't want new animations anyway, 343i would probably screw them up horribly.

Halo 1's animations don't fit well with Halo Reach's weapon models.
