Will there be Classic matchmaking in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition?
I can’t seem to find an official answer. I understand that there will be a Classic Campaign mode, with all the bells and whistles, but I really hope to see the old multiplayer see the light of day on XBL.
The multiplayer will be reach but there will be playlists that play like CE on the classic maps
I know they will have the Reach multiplayer… But what about matchmaking using the classic engine? Like H:CE lan games… but over XBL. With the old graphics and old mechanics, the original multiplayer experience.

you know they have reach multiplayer, so you must also gather from your own knowledge that having two multiplayer packages is pointless?
also:
1)the halo:ce netcode wasnt made to work with online play. if you play halo pc, you will often see evidence of this.
2) 343 didnt want to split the playerbase between two infrastructures
hence the decision to use reach multiplayer

Yea, I have played the PC multiplayer Halo Custom Edition, and the Xbox lan multiplayer. I have a lot of fun on old Halo, so no I don’t think it is pointless. Plus I doubt there would be much splitting of players, most of them probably don’t give a rats -Yoink- about the old multiplayer. And although H:CE wasn’t coded for net play, it does work on the net quite well. It would just be a nice feature that would compliment the revamp, imo.
It is more than possible, but they made the decision to alter Reach INSTEAD of re-use the classic MP. After playing no bloom, I can say that it will be pretty close. In fact, it will be the most Halo Halo since Halo, but not as Halo as Halo. Lol.

Haha yea. I guess what I was asking is will there be a classic multiplayer mode aside from the normal matchmaking. I can’t find any official posts though, so the answer would seem to be “no”.
Ah well, C’est la vie I guess. I can hope, right?
