Halo Reach which is a new campaign is priced at $40.00 new (same price) and includes plenty more multiplayer and firefight maps and then he/she could also buy the new 7 multiplayer maps.
I hope they let Halo CEA buyers to buy or download reach maps so buying CEA would make more sense.
I think you get the full Reach multiplayer on the CEA disc, so in effect you’re getting all the maps and firefight (online at least).
As for why someone might but it over Reach… because the campaign in CE is better than the campaign in Reach?

You only get the 7 new maps maps. What you said about the Campaign is true though.
If you don’t buy Anniversary you can download the maps later on. You can also install Reach to your Hard Drive. Once you do this you’ll get all of the maps on the CEA disc (I’m pretty sure that’s how it works anyway).
Your logic fails to take into account that Reach is a pathetically crap game.
CEA wins hands down.

Oh right, I thought it was an ODST dealy, so you buy this you get the "Full Halo Multiplayer Experience™ ". So if you put the CEA disc in you can only play in certain playlists?
And if I put the Reach disc in I can only play Reach maps and not the CEA ones? (Until they’re available as a solo download)
That seems really clumsy… where did you hear that you only get the 7 new maps? It seems odd that they’d want me to swap discs or install content when they could just put it all one the one disc and make it easy for everyone.

I’ve seen some people say that if you install Reach to your HDD then you can play all maps with the CEA disc, if that’s the case then everything’s good. I wish someone from 343 confirmed this.
From what I do know of this and since I do my homework on how this works:
Basicly on the Halo: CEA disk you get the campaign mode whioch is Halo 1, the multi-player which is from Reach ~If you downloaded reach into your harddrive, you get the full multi-player experiance~ you get about 7 maps which is the anniversery edition. your still keeping firefight and theater also. Lets not ferget that firefight and multi-player dont require a HDD now anyways.
i mean in terms of actual content, aside from firefight, reach and CEA really deliver the same amount of content with the campaigns traded. Just like ODST really had more content than Halo 3.
To someone who doesnt own any of them, they should be somewhat equally tempting.
Though honestly, this boils down to Halo 1’s campaign versus Reach’s, and I mean, is there even a remote contest there?
CEA comes with the CE campaign and 7 new maps. 6 MP, 1 FF.
From the CEA menu, the player(s) can play either the campaign, the CEA play-list or Firefight on Installation 04 (only 1 FF map).
Using the the CEA disc, a player can install the 7 new maps to their HDD. If they do so, the maps are then available to play from Reach in all supported play-lists. This is includes but is not exclusive to the CEA play-list that the CEA disc has lone access to. FF will have 04 added to the roster as well.
The 7 maps are being made a separate download very, very shortly, but still unknown, after the release of CEA on the marketplace. So those who do not wish to purchase the 7 maps for $40 (or whatever) do not have to.
The pause is not to scam extra money from the players. It is the opposite. If word of mouth is great for the campaign, would you not feel silly for buying the maps twice because you bought the campaign.
To be honest… um how are they combating rentals from just circumventing the whole buying a game thing?
Information may have changed that I haven’t seen yet that has the maps being a DLC from the get go via code-card. That way those who rent/buy secondhand have to pay for the DLC separately.

Nobody wants to buy Reach…
Ummm…
Because CE’s campaign is light years ahead of every other Halo’s (IMO) and the only thing holding it back was it’s graphics (Which are now better than every other Halo’s IMO)?
