Is Halo Anniversary the game you wanted. Did it meet expectations you had. Does it do the original game justice.
I want you all to watch this video, in the comments of the video answer my questions about your real thoughts of Halo Anniversary!
This is my Halo Anniversary Legendary HD Let’s Play where i relive all my memories and you’ll see what i think. So Watch it and Comment so we can discuss!!!
Certainly was for me. I knew what I was expecting, and I got all that and more (I had no idea the terminals would be so awesome before getting the game, nor did I know about the eleventh terminal, so that’s what I mean by and more :P)
CEA was, without a doubt, worth the $40. I have a ton of fun with it!

You will need the codes at the end to unlock the 11th terminal. Press X on Halo Waypoint (XBOX version, not website).
I didn’t set my expectations too high because, unlike some people, I kept in mind all the limitations 343 had. Time, personel, etc. But the game blew me away. I currently have found all the skulls and terminals, unlocked the secret 11th terminal, gotten all the achievements except for a few, beaten the game on legendary (Johnson’s hug scene was awesome), and ran through it several times while switching graphics basically everywhere. This game made me see that Halo was definetly in good hands. Can’t wait for Halo 4.
Definitely yes! For all of the limitations 343 had, they did an amazing job with the game! I wish that I didn’t lag as much in co-op, but I have that issue with every other Halo game, so it’s not that big of a deal!
You bet.
Without doubt my favourite 360 game so far. Co-op Lag aside, it was a sterling job. The game just has so much hidden depth. Best Halo gameplay by far and the benchmark for Halo4.
Loved it and well worth the money IMO
Yup. Minor details with how the characters move (or lack of movement I should say) in the cut-scenes, but other then that, it’s just about perfect.
Was disappointed with the lag during co-op. (Host doesn’t lag, 2nd player always does). And I wish that would’ve added “Rally Points” (checkpoints to start at. But other than that I think it’s beautiful.
It’s what I wanted and more.
Great, especially with the lighting, it isn’t until you go and hit back that you realize how dark the original was. The bonus skulls (especially bandana–if only it wasn’t an annoying grenade jump to get to) and terminals is a great touch, a big improvement over Halo 3s which were great to begin with.
Yes! It was really worth $40 and with the brand new Graphics, Skulls, Terminals, and the remastered Halo CE maps, this is a worth game to get, especially for those who loved the Original Halo.

Well said.
What’s your achievement score for Anniversary? I’m close to finishing It.
Mine is:
790/1000 G
34/44
to the letter.
i got all 1000g and still playing it
Best buy this year!
I have never play Halo on the XBOX or the 360 only on the PC so its a first for me and i am surprised by how well they remade the game along with all the skulls and terminals best remade game on the 360 ever
Yes.
Yes and no.
I love the updated levels and the thrill of going through this game with a new gloss of paint. I love that it plays identically to the original and the graphics switch.
On the other hand I am a bit disappointed by some of the corners cut. It’s a shame that the Marines are just the army troopers from Halo Reach and that we didn’t get the original Marines (with their plate armor) updated just as 343i did with the levels themselves. It’s also a shame that Johnson(s) look so different from what we know from 2 and 3.
For me the biggest disappointment is the Chief himself. I see no reason why 343i would feel compelled to update the look of the Chief when he is so iconic of Halo 1. Not only did they change the way he looked but he (in my opinion) looks worse for it. The updated Chief looks… amateur. He doesn’t have that artistic robustness of the original Mk IV Chief or the Mk V. It just seems a bit rushed.
That all said my only issues with CEA are the aesthetic decisions made regarding the updated version. The game still plays just as well and is just as challenging and fun as it ever was.
