they just promoed the upcoming Halo CE : Anniversary edition. it is essentially an updated HD rendering of Halo CE complete with co-op campaign over xbox live and multiplayer as well.
yet they also, for some reason, put assassination animations into the game? that doesn’t seem to make sense. thoughts?
game launches Nov. 15th, 2011
no comment was made as to if this was a retail disc or download, etc.
I think multiplayer will connect with Reach`S. Juts like ods and halo 3. Halo Ce maps will probaly be available as dlc
if it’s “linked” or whatever with Reach it ruins the idea that this is a true remake (upgraded graphics) of the original…
1.) Its only been seen in multiplayer
2.)It is a completely harmless addition if it is indeed in Campaign it is an option.
I prefer to use it in campaign instead of an arbitrary back smack.
it just doesn’t seem like it was necessary at all. if they’re really remaking the game then why do they feel the need to change it in the process.
the only thing i could see is that they have the campaign the same as it was. then all of the multiplayer maps are only useable with Halo Reach. that would make sense with the assassinations.
although the lower jump height and weird physics of Reach would totally ruin playing on pure CE maps.
After watching this video I can say that they’ve spent about 2 Years on this. There’s NO BLOOM! And they haven’t touched the mechanics except for Assassinations by the looks of it.
Considering 343 Industries are using the Halo: Reach engine to create the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition, it would make sense that all of the gameplay mechanics are also available to them, as a result. In this case, Assassinations from Halo: Reach have been incorporated into the Multiplayer - no footage of the Campaign including this mechanic has been seen.
I think the Assassinations are an excellent mechanic anyway, and I have no problem with their inclusion in the Halo: Combat Evolved remake.

From what I understand, the multiplayer will be in Reach, just like the multiplayer in ODST was in Halo 3 
There is NO Multiplayer in the Halo Anniversary.
The Halo Anniversary either comes with a Code or a Standalone Disc with ALL of Reach’s Maps & The 7 New ones(one being firefight)
There are NO Assassinations in the Single Player Campaign in CEA.

I think you mean 
Disc One: Halo CE Anniversary (Includes remastered campaign, online co-op, and Theater)
Disc Two: Halo Reach (Includes 7 remade maps, Halo Reach multiplayer, Forge, Theater, Firefight)
Same thing they did with ODST boys. C’mon, use a bit of logic now. They could possibly add a Disc Three for bonus content, but idk.

Well, if you think about it since their wasn’t much time and this isn’t a large release such as Halo 4 the just put in the same engine as reach for multiplayer. Most likely we’ll see a game similar to ODST with one campaign and extras disc and the other will be multiplayer containing custom games, forge, theater, matchmaking, and all the previous map packs for all those who didn’t want to spend before. (me )
I’m pretty sure assassination animations will only be featured in multiplayer.
It’s actually all on one disc (check Sparkast) and there has been no mention of Forge and Theater included with CEA. But you are correct, the new maps are considered Reach MM “Add-ons”… think of it as Reach DLC. You can drop in your CEA disc and select Campaign or Multiplayer. If you select MP, you will have access to Reach’s MP with ALL current maps PLUS the 6 new MP maps and the new FF map.

Oh no my good friend you seem to have misundertsood. You see the game comes with a remastered Combat Evolved I’m guessing is virtually untouched except for graphics. The assassination animations you saw were footage of new multiplayer maps for Reach. I’m thinking this may work similar to ODST when a multiplayer disc was released along with a campaign disc. There is no online multiplayer component for CE Anniversary. Instead it includes 7 maps for multiplayer which includes one for firefight as an expansion for Halo: Reach. Hopefully they will have released all of the map packs by the time this comes out with the new maps. I will certainly buy it.

if this is really how it is then all of the multiplayer maps will be a failure. you cannot have original maps from Halo CE and the lower jump height and different movement speed of Halo Reach. it simply does not work.
if they changed the maps to accommodate for Halo Reach’s changes to the spartan movement and jump height then they are not actual remakes.
the multiplayer was the one aspect of CE: Anniversary that everyone really wanted. basically all they’ve done is give us a remastered campaign that most of us have played through a hundred or more times already. sigh.
Is it really going to make that much of a difference in the game? Like gears if you dont want to execute a person then dont, just shoot them. This is the same in halo dont hold rb just tap it, so don stress buddy.
They remade the campaign perfectly. The only changes in the campaign is the updated graphics, terminals and remastered sounds. Some easter eggs or etc might have been taken out, for respect of former employees.
From what I’ve seen in videos and across different forum topics if they tried to make an exact remake of the multiplayer on consoles it would play differently on Xbox Live because orignally the multiplayer was on PC and something about how Xbox Live is wouldn’t make it work properly.
The new old maps will not fail. They will be just as fun as ever. 343i is making a TITLE UPDATE to fix and balance Reachs multiplayer. This means they are also able to add things such as no bloom, a stronger magnum, different movement speed etc. They will be making a classic playlist with the new features from the title update.
Do try to be more optimistic and at least TRY to have more faith in 343i.
Sincerely, an optimist.

WHY did you bump a 2-month old thread?
