Halo 3 Anniversary probably never to be?

Do you think it’s safe to say we will never get halo 3 anniversary? As much as I’d love to see todays graphics, I can’t think of them releasing it. Especially with the emphasis of their current direction being to attract the “general crowd” which honestly hurts that they’re putting aside the fan base that’s trying so hard to stick by it.

Sadly they won’t Microsoft and 343 said themselves during 2017 that there are no plans for a halo 3 anniversary game which would be cool if it did happen

Well H3s graphics still look pretty good. Not sure if the current graphics are worth the step up in an anniversary edition just yet.

Please 343 if you read this - do not remake Halo 3. At least until you learn how to make Halo games.
Halo CE Anniversary was not good, Halo 2 Anniversary was not good, Halo 4/5/Infinite are not good.

Dont make Halo 3 suffer the same “343 touch of death”.

i thought h2a was pretty good, all things considered, and i think halo 4 gets a lot more hate than it deserves. that being said, i do agree that 343 should focus on getting halo right before remaking halo 3. at the very least, finish fixing halo ce

For a game released in 2014 I think it was great, and it still holds up to this day. Agree with everything else though, especially the latter 3.

Disagree. Halos 4 and 5 ARE good games, and even good Halo games for those looking to spice things up with unique mechanics, however they aren’t what CLASSIC fans want, and that’s okay, not EVERY Halo game has to be as minimal in movement or sandbox mechanics as Halo 3. Halo 3 was a good game in it’s time, but in this day and age, the only people playing it are those with heavy nostalgia for it.

For me Halo 4 wasn’t horrid. It took me a while to grow to like it, but I do agree the ordinance drops were a touch too far, luckily I avoid modes with ordinance unless it’s an action sack mini-game type mode.

Halo 5, while it does have it’s technical issues and bad campaign, it’s sandbox is the best in the series, I’ve been able to make so many unique game types I couldn’t do in other Halo games, like parkour maps that utilize the Tartarus Gravel Jump boost, but certain segments punish the speed boost, or how about maps where you can only get kills by riccocheting Scattershot blasts?

Honestly Halo 4 and 5 offer a LOT of good stuff for players like me, players who like to experiment.

Good. I couldn’t think of anything worse than 343i touching Halo 3. Let them focus on ruining one game at a time and keep the last actual Halo game to come out away from their crippling incompetence :+1:

Reach was the last Halo game to come out, not Halo 3.

The lighting in the game still look fantastic to this day.
Other than updating the sounds, adding few polygons to the meshes and blur cutscenes there is not much that can be added to improve the game

If they ever decide to do a remaster i really hope they go for remaking Halo CE, the remaster we got was terrible in so many ways

Given the pseudo map pack, improved forge, and expanded features Halo 3 has already received in the MCC who is to say we don’t already have a H3 Anniversary edition? H3 still looks fantastic even when compared to HCEA, I don’t think the minor graphical improvement is worth the effort.
