I was thinking whats wrong with updating a 10 year old game to today’s standards? I know theirs a lot of people out their that don’t want their precious Halo changed, ok I understand that but, If you really don’t want it changed you don’t have to get CEA and just play the original. And I also most importantly understand that 343 is working hard on Halo 4 and that would divert resources from Halo 4 to CEA, and that could be the main reason why 343 doesn’t want to update it completely.
They are remaking an original. It would upset more people than it would please by changing it. Halo 4 is where they’ll change things up a bit I am sure.

Yeah I know from what I’ve seen on the forums. And forgive me if I’m wrong but it just sounds like a bunch of whiny fan boys. I dout changing things a little will disrupt the overall canon.
CEA is really met for all the fans that have been there since day 1. It’s more of a present to the community then a new game.
I would be pretty sad if they actually change mechanics in CEA. For Halo 4 go ahead Im all for it as long as the keep the core gameplay Halo of course.
CEA needs to be the same though
Why would they change a multiplayer for a game that’s supposed to leave gameplay pretty much intact as it was in Halo CE to instead be something completely different. That would just make them lose sales if anything. And besides, they can’t go back and play regular CE if they are looking for online multiplayer because that doesn’t have matchmaking.

See this is a really intelligent answer I’ve gotten in a long time and truly make sense. I have played all Halo games and pretty familer with all Halo canon. And some of you guys have been with it since the begining but I didn’t get into Halo until 08.
Changing the core gameplay would be nothing short of video game heresy.
I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about, what point you’re trying to make, or anything.

You must not know Halo fans well. If even the slightest thing is different or out of place there will be a fanboy uproar. 343 has to tread their ground very well. I’m not a super MLG idiot fanboy, but I am a fan, and if there were changes to CEA I wouldn’t buy it.
I want the original experience with the new and improved graphics engine, nothing more, nothing less.
All I’m saying why would you just want Aesthetic changes and a few sound changes and not bring the game to Reach standards. I loved the first Halo the story mainly,but doesn’t get kind of weird over the past 10 years of removing re-adding things. For example first their was 60 rounds then 32 then we removed the assault then we bought it back. can we make up are minds people was their none of this or was their that? I could go on and on and I’m not just talking about a mediocre Assault Rife. I’m trying to understand why the community is for and against certain things see you guys can enlighten me, I’m not trying to convert people to my thought.

Well that’s good. I really don’t see this thread going any where. And at the risk being stoned at by fan-boys. I just think CEA should be improved stay consistent with the other Halo games. I’ll still buy it no matter what.
Its a remastered campaign, which means… its only remastered. Nothing else. And don’t forget, they are working with a 10 year old engine that was made for the original Xbox. Adding new levels and enemies would screw the engine. It can only support so much. thats why theres no 4 player co-op.
Change in and of it’s self is not bad, but what you change can mean a world of difference.
Bloom for instance. I played a variety of games that featured zero bloom and was astonished by the results, kill times had gone from 5 to 6 seconds, to 2 to 3 seconds, very dramatic change! and that is only changing bloom!
