Hey Guys, Coke here... This is a little about the New Halo Anniversary that is coming out. Please feel free to Discuss about this.
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
Multiplayer & how it will work with Reach
- The multiplayer component of Halo C.E. Anniversary Edition will include 7 classic maps from the Halo universe(6 competitive & 1 Firefight).
- It will be running on the Reach engine.
- It is NOT a separate multiplayer experience from Reach. It IS the Reach multiplayer with only the 7 maps.
- Only the 7 maps will be included on the C.E. disk, but if you own Reach there will be an option to download a "content pack" that will allow you to play all your Reach maps(including DLC) using the C.E. disk.
- There will be multiplayer & firefight playlists specifically tailored to the anniversary edition maps. They can be played with either disk.
- If you don't own Reach you will be limited to the above playlists(& customs).
- Two of the C.E. Maps officialy mentioned(more are clearly visible in the trailer, like Hang'em High) are Damnation & Beaver Creek.
- To clarify, if you don't own Reach you will be limited to the 7 maps on the C.E. disk. If you do you will be able to play the full Reach map selection(DLC and all) using the C.E. disk. So if your using the C.E. disk and own Reach you will only be missing the Reach campaign(you would have to use the Reach disk to play Reach campaign{similar to ODST}). The opposite is also true. You will be able to use your Reach disk to play on the C.E. maps(after download).
C.E. Anniversary Campaign
- It is almost an exact remake of the original game.
- A few things have been added like terminals and/or data pads(and possibly more).
- At any point in the game you can switch back and forth between the original graphics and the HD remake on the fly by pressing the "back" button on your controller.
- It has 2 player online Co-op.
Miscellaneous
- It is going to be released on November 15, 2011(exactly 10 years from the date of the original release).
- It's remastered by 343 studios(Microsoft), not Bungie(the original creator).
- It will cost $39.99(U.S.) because it's meant to be a "discount title"(similar to how O.D.S.T. was originally supposed to be). <---Didn't realize that odst was bumped back up to $60 at release.
Information taken from Bungie.net's forums.
For most, this is extremely exciting, however it almost feels as if it is more of an expansion pack rather than a whole new game, or remake. Unfortunately, for all the Halo 1-3 die-hard fans, it will not be like the original, it will have a more 'Reach' feel to it.
The ability to be able to switch from HD mode to classic original mode is a brilliant idea from the developers. It can show how far the Halo world has come in ten years! That is of course, if you wish to live in the past.

They are still debating about it, But i'm pretty sure it will come out around the same time as 360.

Nothing decent from Halo has come out for PC ever since Halo 1, so the chances of this on PC are very slim. |

I really hope so! I don't have a 360, and I always have to go to my friends houses to play Halo 3, ODST, Reach and soon Anniversary and 4.

I already preordered it so I'll be getting the grunt funeral skull and I think also get the master chief armor for your avatar so that will be cool.
I also peordered halo 4 so I can't wait to see what goodies I get from that

If you guys sign up for this on xfire, we can get some support to get a remake for halo to be made on the PC. ----> http://www.xfire....o1isalive/ <-----
I've also seen some people who'v started threads on the bungie website who have over 200+ replies trying to convince them to make the remake avaible for the pc community. http://www.bungie...eater1-p=1

you're wrong, its not on the reach engine. its on the original halo 1 engine, its been "painted" with reach graphics. which is why it plays exactly like halo 1 and, at the press of a button, you can switch back to the original halo 1 graphics.
It's the multiplayer using the reach engine.

But there is some argument over how the multiplayer is gonna play. A co-producer said that the game was coming out as it's own separate title (so maybe CE multiplayer). Then there is the argument that it has to be Reach multiplayer due to the maps being released for reach as well. And then to wrap it all up, some have suggested a separate playlist that'll function like original CE multiplayer.

I'm pretty sure it runs on the Reach engine, in the trailer you seen someone doing an assassination and even on the 343i's website they were discussing about it being on the Reach engine.

Might be reach engine, but not mechanics is my point.
