This concept didn’t hit me until I watched the machinima videos on the homepage lately. This is 10 years of Halo. This is the game that changed many people’s lives, myself included. This is the anniversary of a game that I picked up 10 years ago and to this day still love the most, even though Reach has its flaws. I also come on here and see many people picking, “well this doesn’t look right”, “The textures of this look weird”, “They changed this minor thing.” While I believe 343 should be faithful to CE, we also have to modernize it. Good graphics aren’t good enough, animations and camera angles will have to be modernized with the graphics and sounds as well. This game is about putting a modern twist on a game we all love and grew up with. We shouldn’t pick about, well, anything really. 343 didn’t have to make this game for us, and I’m incredibly thankful that they are.
So here’s to not nitpicking and loving Halo. Thank you for doing this service to the fans 343, you’re doing to one hell of a job.
I tried with Reach, I really did. It’s just not possible.
Reach is (If we absolutely MUST call it a Halo game) by far the worst Halo game. Bad writing, poor character development, etc.
And let’s not forget that the ENTIRE game is one huge break in the established canon. And then they tried to go back and change the novels to accommodate the games. That’s just pathetic.

Co-sign.
Although, I do believe 343 did have to do this. Bungie’s passing of the torch created a ton of speculation inside the fanbase as to where the future of the series was heading. I think a lot of that speculation has been laid to rest since Halofest.
…and to touch on some of the things 343 did to “modernize” CE, you have to consider the climate of gaming is drastically different than it was 10 years ago (mostly due to Halo’s impact).
Yea gets a little annoying when people set out to find something they don’t like, and yes 343i is doing one hell of a job can’t wait to see what they have in store for Halo4.
10 years, 10 long years. It just hit me that I have been playing Halo as long, or nearly as long, as it has been out. I have spent over half of my life as a Halo gamer… and I love it.
I appreciate all of the effort that Bungie put into all of their Halo games, and I hope they do well in their next endeavor. And I have full confidence that 343i can deliver the Halo experience we all know and love.

We need the voice of Captain Cutter from Halo Wars to say your first paragraph. That would be awesome.

I know it’s crazy to think its been ten years.
My friends and I made a video from our machinima series tieing in with the CE campaign.
We were going to enter it into the contest, but the four minutes only thing kind of pulled us away from it instead we made it into an action pack machinima celebrating ten years of Halo and showing reminecent pieces of The campaign level THE MAW! The Forgotten
we deffinatly tied in the storyline of Halo into this.
But really ten years of Halo is amazing and I can’t wait for the next ten and what 343 has in store for all of us!
