IMHO they only thing Halo MCC Games Need was a face lift! . . . That’s it!!
So you’re saying you don’t want a Halo 3 anniversary
H3 doesn’t need a remaster it just needs constant support.

Halo 3’s graphics look dated compared to Halo CE Anniversary and Halo 2 Anniversary and needs a remaster for example the carbine in Halo 2 Anniversary looks much better than the carbine in Halo 3

Why do you think it needs a remake
i just think it’d be better for halo 3 to be remade, because of mcc im sure everone would know exactly what they’re getting into just a visual change. a remake may be a great way to use cut content from the original and add something completely new! that or they can do what cod did, make a new game and a remaster at the same time.

All I would like is a Halo 3 Anniversary campaign added to MCC. Not a separate game. And after that, NO MORE!!!
Do not make a Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach or even a Halo 4 Anniversary. Just. Don’t.
The only visual change H3 ‘needs’ is updated faces/character models.
Though it would be quite appreciated if we got weapon-carry implemented into the in-game cutscenes instead of le generic Assault Rifle (and a Shotgun on Cortana), as well.
I hold no expectations of full Blur remakes of the cutscenes, as $1,000,000 USD per minute is not exactly something Microsoft is likely willing to pay for Halo 3.
A section in the Extras menu with the text of all (found) Halo 3 Terminals would be nice, too. Once again, I hold no expectations of the Halo 3 Terminals being rendered as animations(, and fervently hope it’s never done. There are some things that should remain exclusively text-based, and the Forerunner-era is one of them).

I think the weapon models need an update as well the carbine just looks so bland to its Halo 2 Anniversary counterpart
Weapon and vehicle model update/remodeling is a change I am somewhat hesitant on, mostly due to the possibility of (further) inconsistencies in canon.
On the subject of Halo 1A/Halo 2A and a hypothetical Halo 3 Anniversary Edition in particular, I hope that 343i would do a straight copy-paste from Reach assets, and/or updated with Reach-type texture packs for assets that don’t (pre)exist in Reach. (Plus a boilerplate statement stating that these weapon models are de-facto canon over the original titles’ weapon models.) This would heavily reduce the number of canon inconsistencies.

why do we need a remaster version of a halo game in the first place?
some off the remasters from some other game’s are not looking that good at all since the orginal version of that game was looking much beter then a remaster version.
from halo CE and halo 2 remaster i can understand good with the grafic’s layout and since its from the first xbox console you can play then.
if it was about you cant play any more like halo 2 since it was release on the first xbox console i can understand for a remaster at some point.
for the other halo’s like halo 3 we not need a remaster at all its more waste off time.
and i like to see more there put that time to fix some problems halo infinite that has a big multiplayer problem that needs a good first.
there are also game’s where a remaster is much better then the original game.
since in the remaster version there have add new things in it what the original game not has at all.

There’s nothing to remaster in Halo 3. Sure, it looks dated these days, but genuinely ask yourself - why do you want a remaster of Halo 3, a game you’ve already played, while their flagship game - Infinite, still needs to catch up?
Do you really JUST want better visuals? If so… Why? What’s the point? The only reason I could imagine doing a Halo 3 remaster would be like… Adding RTX or something and overhauling the models and textures but that’s, genuinely, an insane amount of work. These remasters are audio and visual overhauls.
I genuinely do NOT want them touching those cutscenes. Do you actually believe blur CGI ones would be better?
I do not think any of this is necessary.
I think a remake/remaster has to do more than just look and sound better.
I think a remake has to be a different take. It doesn’t have to change the story, but it cannot be the same.
Halo CEA was neat because in the 10 years between, games had become so much better looking. But they flubbed the art design with a ton of ported and overdesigned assets.
Halo 2 Anniversary was an almost perfect remaster, though some soundtracks were screwed to pieces and frankly, the blur cutscenes are dreadful by comparison - entire characters change personality- notably Thel. His body language is not even close to the same.
There’s just… Not much need for a Halo 3 remaster that is only aesthetics and sound.

The reason I want a remaster is because the hole game looks dated
Halo 3 does not need a remaster. It actually looks very good for a 2007 game. It still looks much better than alot of games currently released today. Its lighting is a masterwork which you don’t get to see very often in games these days who prefer muted colours and hues.
Only thing I’ll accept is probably a cutscene glow up but other than that, Halo 3 is perfect. It’s perfect in every way and honestly could have still rocked a healthy playerbase to this day if there was continued support for it.
Before you continue your tirade on how it looks dated, then you should really check out what Raytracing and shaders can do Halo 3:

A Masterpiece needs no remaster.

Wow, so it really is just a graphics thing. That’s so unimaginably sad a take to have.
Get over it. Things age. You’ll have wrinkles someday too.

that the grafics are looking dated is normal for old game’s.
really thats the worst bad and lame reason at all for asking a remaster for a game.
if the reason was you cant play it any more on the new generation xbox any more then you have more a good reason to ask for a remaster.
but only for the bad grafics part is super lame reason there is more.
and here is maybe something else you have forget.
you know really good that when halo infinite was still in development that a lot off communety members disagree with the new grafics art style there have use and ask to use the halo 3 grafic art style.

Some people would literally make death threats if they did, but I would love to see sprint and assassinations in Halo 3.
More importantly, I would love to see restored content - the original vision for the cortana mission (with the epic scarab battle,) and the cut guardian forest mission.
