If the rumors are true that 343 is remaking Combat Evolved, they need to make sure to keep the things that I feel made the Halo 1 best FPS ever. I do not want it to turn into Reach GP in the multi, IE keep the over shield and camaflauge and mainly keep the PISTOL as one of the dominant weapons. That pistol was redic and it should continue to be that. Graphics upgrades and Xbox live additions are nice, but the remake should not be a map pack for halo reach. Just a few thoughts?
Don’t add ANY new features. The Community loves Halo: CE for what it was, not what you make it be now. Simply update the graphics, and DON’T touch the game…
To OP, most people in the forums don’t want it to have matchmaking for it for some reason. I don’t know why. If you talk to anyone in real life, they all want it to have matchmaking. I hope it does have matchmaking. There is no reason for it not to have it. Who cares if it hurts the population of Reach? I am pretty sure people will still be able to find a game on it quick.

I would love matchmaking, but if it doesn’t have it, its not a big deal.

The PC version had Multiplayer, and it didn’t ruin the game, so why not include it in the remake? Great idea!

I wasn’t saying that it was a bad idea or would ruin the game, I just meant that, as cool as it would be, it is not needed. Still, if it had online, I would love it!

I wasn’t being sarcastic, as sarcastic as my above post sounded… sorry!
I think that the majority of the game should just be left alone, with a couple of enhancements and tweaks here and there. This is how I would design it:
CAMPAIGN: ~ Menus and Missions need to stay the same, just with enhanced graphics. The exact dialogue needs to return, no new lines or voice actors. The landscape and design and objective of each mission should not change one bit, although a couple “bonus areas” wouldn’t be a bad thing. Still, the only thing campaign really needs is a graphic overhaul.
SPLITSCREEN: ~ Same thing as campaign as far as the design and landscape of each map goes. Each map should have exactly the same proportions, just with a massive graphic overhaul. Keep the weapons and health the same, don’t take away weapons or add weapons. A small gesture like this could take away the original Halo feel. Also, gametypes shouldn’t change.
MATCHMAKING: ~ I would actually include matchmaking. However, the playlists should remain simple, with things like Rumble Pit, Team Slayer, Big Team Slayer, Capture the Flag, etc. Nothing like Grifball or Arena or Invasion or anything like that. Halo: CE started out a simple FPS, which was part of it’s magic–lets keep it that way.
OTHER: ~ The only thing that should be customizable on your Spartan character is it’s armor color and emblem (perhaps secondary and detail colors as well). Customizable gametypes wouldn’t be a bad thing either, but again, keep them simple. No armor abilities or equipment. Theater can join as a game mode, I don’t see why not. Am I missing anything?
Also, what about Forge? Would Forge be a good addition to a remake of this game or would it ruin it? Personally, I don’t see a problem with implementing it but I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t present.

I agree tho forge is kinda not needed for a remake. They can add achievements to this game too.
