The game is of great value for 25$ I had a blast going through the campaign getting all the achievements.
> Go my son, and buy the greatest game in gaming history.
I beg to differ with that statement
It isn’t worth it because it actually does not play the same as it did way back when. They claim it does but I ran a test mid mission one time. Hit the back button to go back to 10 years ago gameplay and shot a camo elite with the sniper it died. Went into the updated version and fired 4 sniper shots into the second one. It lived and killed Commander Keys and forced me to start the mission from last checkpoint. So yea it’s broken and does not play the same unless you stick to classical settings.
Yes, get it for sure. It’s great, and I have experienced no lag.

The graphics mode is just a visual layer and shouldn’t affect the mechanics. There are mechanical differences between CE and CEA, but I doubt that’s one of them.
Have you confirmed on re-trial? Are you sure your shots were all hitting the the elite in the new visuals? Were you sure you were placing shots in the same spots? Etc…
Yes!
It is the best one out of them all.

You are wrong!
First, why would you choose that point of the level to test it out you idiot! They are invisible and are hard to hit! Go to the beginning, out your Sniper’s night vision on, and try there! You chose the worst point to test it out. And news flash, it takes 1-2 hits to kill an Elite, even it the head! Second, what difficulty was it on, if an Elite killed Keyes, it probably was heroic, never has my moronic captain been killed on Normal. enemies in Heroic take longer to kill.

You probably just can’t hit the target because my sniper kills it just the same. The graphics have nothing to do with the gameplay. It still plays the same.
You should buy CEA. I thought it was worth it. I got for 40$ and I thought the original campaign beautifuly remastered and with terminals and skulls + map pack for halo reach was worth it.
P.S you should get halo 2 as well. The multiplayer is offline but the campaign is really good and it’s pretty cheap.
I think so.
Yeah, it’s a really good game now made even better with the terminals 
Relive the glorious birth of a gaming era, and a console 
If you are a CE fan then go for it!
Terminals alone are worth 5 bucks!
It’s definitely worth it.
It’s cheap so I’d say its worth it. Just bear that in mind though, as there are some strange shortcuts that have been made with the graphics.
For that price, it’s a steal when you consider the current price of the Anniversary Map Pack on Xbox LIVE. As for playing the campaign, I didn’t bother going online since all the achievements can be obtained offline.
Def I loved playing the best halo game ever.
BUY IT!
You’re obviously nuts about the series if you use these forums and this remake feels like a new game that you already know all too well. Some of it feels a little repetitive and frustrating just like the original, but it reminds me so much of 3 mixed with a new respect for what the story has become since this all started.
And really, the story means so much more after playing Reach. Going back and playing this after has been lots of fun. Doing it with friends and trying to remember what you did 10 years ago to get past some part of a level without throwing ‘the duke’ across the room has been a few laughs as well.
My .02 buy it if you love the series. Have fun with it. Take your time and do it in pieces.
It’s simply a great game, so yes it’s worth it.
If you like classics and retro settings and new graphics at a push of a button, yes indeed it is worth it.
Yeah it worth it.
It feels great finally to beat Halo: CE on Legendary alone and get an achievement for it.
