The Anniversary multiplayer should have been on the disc(yes, im aware there is an option directly from the disc), and played through the game disc itself…Or, at least, that’s my opinion. Besides the campaign, I got the game for the multiplayer of Halo 1 in HD to be on the disc, not to get map packs for Reach. What’s your take on it?

343i made it clear the multiplayer portion would be maps remastered to work with the Reach engine, and videos released in advanced to generate interest in CEA clearly shows Reach gameplay, complete with armor abilities and assassinations.
If you were expecting the original multiplayer engine to be rewritten for this then you relied on an unfounded assumption instead of doing your homework.
You can play those maps with the CEA disk in, but only those maps and only those playlists. For example, if you want to play Firefight Doubles or Score Attack, you have to install the maps to your hard drive and then access those playlists from a Reach disk. So my only real objection here is that there are so few playlists in CEA.
Yea, unfortunately I’m not too disappointed since they said the entire time they were promoting the game that it was a campaign remake bundled with a map pack for Reach.
Clearly people do not read that 343i said that it is a map pack for Halo: Reach multiplayer…they have said this how many times.

They also said they would try to recreate Halo CE multiplayer in Reach using the title update a whole bunch of times. But that failed to come to realization. The old maps simply weren’t meant to be played with Armor abilities and DMR starts.
