The remake maps for Halo 2 are turning out to be some of the best stuff 343 has created. I recommend them to just continue on with the same ideas in their future designs. Why not? Halo 2 map designs, performance, gun play, player mechanics, and competitive aspect is in my opinion one of the best FPS games of all times. I’ve always said if it isn’t broken why fix it. They should just start creating new maps and plugging them into the MCC as DLC. I’d buy everyone of them.
i like them except for gulch remake with the EMP towers but i wont judge till i play and by the look of it, havent played it so cant judge but i can sort of tell ill still prefer H3’s last resort to there zanzibar ramake
I just like the fact that the have kept all of the original features from Halo 2 but up the graphics, sound, and lighting. So it plays and feels just like Halo 2.
It certainly is very impressive. The ability to recreate a game that is 10 years old and make it feel new, fresh, and modern is not quite like something anyone has done before. Hats off to the team for that, I can already tell this game is going to be a huge success for the company and franchise.
As far as moving forward, there is a constant battle with innovating and staying true to the core. Easier said than done.
Very true Hinashou. For me though its never been so much about new features and gimmicks but rather more about game performance and quality. When to much is added it can some times take away from the experience we are wanting from games. One way they could expand is the player count. Larger maps and more players seem to be the growing trend right now.
Let’s give credit where credit is due here: The fine folks at Certain Affinity, and Max Hoberman did an amazing job. And also Havok for implementing the original Halo 2 multiplayer code into 343i’s Halo 4 multiplayer code. 343i just threw money at them and said “go do this”. They had virtually no involvement beyond that.

Exactly.
OP, you’re praising 343 for maps CA created.
343 is responsible for other things in MCC that are also impressive, though.

They made the Master Menu and are hosting the servers for the multiplayer. Literally every single other thing about this collection has been contracted out to other companies. 343i is just than money bags for this whole thing to happen.
let’s actually get our hands on MCC before singing high praise hmm?
They truly respect and love the franchise which is awesome. Keep it up 343
