Yes, Halo CE Anniversary is a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved, the first in the Halo series released in 2001 for Xbox Original, and 2003 for PC.
A remake?
Did they rebuild it from the ground up?
No, they got the original graphics, made the graphics modern and shipped it.
That is a RESKIN.
Yeah, it’s more of a reskin than a remake.
However, we still got remade Anniversary maps for Reach.
A map pack for Reach.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
no
Well I suppose reskin is the most accurate way of describing it. It’s more than an HD rerelease, less than a full on remake. Then again, when it comes to video games the term remake basically means make it look better, maybe add some minor new features but leave all dialogue, level layouts and story the same. Quite different to what would be classified as a remake in cinema.
I would call it a port, not a remake, nor a “reskin”.

It has new graphics, ergo it’s a reskin. If it was simply a port it wouldn’t have the amount of changes (new graphic layer, new redone music, added terminals, removed multiplayer and kinect library scanning).

Disagreed. It ported Halo: Combat Evolved’s campaign to the Xbox 360, added some features, and removed some features. It’s not a perfect port, but it’s a campaign port - the game’s original code is modified to work on the Xbox 360 (the definition of port as applied to video games is to modify code to work in an environment different from original intention), so it’s technically a port.
Additionally, if it was simply a “reskin”, it also wouldn’t have the number of changes it had. It would just have a graphically-updated campaign and multiplayer. Instead, it’s just the campaign built ground-up for the Xbox 360, improved, and added to. We might as well just call it a remake.
But I still just call it a heavily-modified port, because that’s what it is.
I honestly can’t tell if this guys is trolling or not.
It seems I must remind you all:
“Don’t feed the troll”
A reskin of one of the best Halos with Mp and only 40 bucks! Sweet.
You’re a troll dude. If it was more of a remake people would want the heads of the 343 employees.
CE shouldn’t change, it’s good how it is. You won’t hear me complaining
Yeah, so what? Anyways it IS a remake.
to make anew or in a different form
They added terminals, skulls, kinect, and achievements. So it is a reskin, a remake, and a port, all in one. But don’t be rude to others because they were contradicting your seemingly random post.
What’s the point of calling it remake or reskin or port? It doesn’t matter. I enjoy it. I love that i can switch in-game graphics via button. Sometimes fun if you can compare the two graphic modes. And I would have been dissapointed if they changed anything story related. Terminals and some feature’s are ok.
Halo CE is a milestone. Do not change it in anyways. It would be like changing historical facts.
They added skulls and terminals. And you have achievements. I would have paid $60 for this alone. It was a steal at $30 with MP.
Call it what you want. It’s awesome.
It’s actually a remastered version of Halo CE, it’s NOT a remake, I guess reskin fits the remastered title though.
