Halo 3 anniversary update!!!

It’s a good bet we’re not going to get a Halo 3 Anniversary next year, but what about a Halo 3 update? Based on multiplayer maps only, and using the Halo 5 engine, an update that gives us a selection of small, medium and large scale developer made maps with no spartan abilities, a faster base movement and old school game types. I mean come on, who wouldn’t love to play this?

I like the idea but couldn’t this be done using the Custom Games Browser?

Halo 3 Anniversary has been confirmed to not be happening. It isn’t a good bet that it’s not happening, it’s done and dusted. A throwback playlist for that and Halo 2 similar to the one for CE would be nice though. It would be nice to play with modern mechanics on classic maps.

I’m going to keep an open mind on the idea of there being a Halo 3 Anniversary.

Franky said the same thing about Halo 2 that it wasn’t happening after all.

Especially since Halo 3 was such a huge game, I can’t believe Microsoft would throw away the idea of making a anniversary version because all the money they’d get from it.

I think you’re overestimating the returns from remasters, particularly when Halo 3 is still playable on the 360 and has already been cleaned up as part of the MCC. Either way let’s keep on topic please.

I’m half glad we probably won’t get a Halo 3 remaster. It gives 343i more time to work on a new halo (halo 6) rather than focus partly on halo 3 and halo 6 at the same time.

What money? They just rereleased it in mcc. If anything they will lose money making a game everyone already has. You think shiny graphics will make people play again? The old one still looks good lol. Come on dude its a 10 year old game people have already bought a few times now. If they are not playing it now they arent going to period. Its over now. Move on.

I don’t think you realize how huge Halo 3 was to community. But suit yourself, have a good day Spartan.

I realize exactly how big it WAS (as in isnt anymore). We have gotten this game 3 times now, bought when it released, gave away for free with gwg and mcc. And guess what? It still has a miniscule population. Its over man. It was a good game. Now its time is over and time to look to halo 6 not back 10 years to halo 3, a game everyone already owns many times over.

  • There are about 100 active players on Halo 3 - MCC is a broken, dysfunctional mess - Halo 5 has ADS and Bullet magnetism both of which were not in Halo 3 and both would heavily alter the experienceWe need Halo 3 anniversary.

Also there are different teams at 343 working on different things. They are all not working on the one thing. There is one team making Halo wars 2, there is one team updating Halo 5 and there is one team working on Halo 6 and future instalments.

You may need it, I don’t, so you might take out the communal we.

That being said…if it’s anything like the opening mess of MCC, no thanks

Halo wars 2 is being done by creative assembly just fyi.

I am personally excited that Halo 3 could become an Anniversary and I would not like it to be “added” to Halo 5 which isn’t that good anyway. I’m more old school Halo - Classics all the way!

h3A is confirmed to NOT be happening, so if you want to play h3, there is the mcc

I keep hearing the term MCC what is that and I don’t have Halo 5 but don’t like it anyway. I can still hope…also where are your sources? You can’t just say that and only have yourself to credit or one source to credit. You will have some trouble in getting people to believe you…

MCC may be a mess, however I would still enjoy a remastered version of Halo 3. Even if the campaign was the only updated part of the game.

MCC i think was a high school project somewhere…but remastered halo 3 would be nice to run thru

I still enjoy it too, but the buggy mess of it can make you want to pull out your hair. Especially the H2 campaign
