This could be pretty cool. I wish it had Halo 2 as well, though.

Talk about Milking Halo man....smh they just don't know what to do at this point....

@Streeks1984 They come out with one, what, every 3 years? How the hell is that milking, especially when Sony is releasing tons of HD collections and all they get is praise?

@Streeks1984 Maybe they could make Halo AC!D? Would you like that? Pot calls the kettle black.

@The Condor You go back to whatever 1980's bmx shop that spawned you and your first person train of thought! ;)

Looks awesome, I just hope they release it at a reasonable price. There's really no reason to pay 60 dollars for this, even as much as I love Halo.
Posted: Jun 6th 2011 1:31PM The Wicker Man said
@blackangel209 It is an arcade release. I say $15.

@MEGATOOL The original still exists and plays perfectly and I'm not much of a graphics whore. Only reason to get it would be for multiplayer, but I'm perfectly fine waiting for H4 if it's full-price.

$30 with a $40-$50 edition with tin case and dlc and stuff would be perfect.

Wow, it looks like they really went all out and redesigned the game (not just remastered). It's not just higher resolution versions of the same textures, but brand new textures instead.
I'd rather have seen a new Halo game, but I'll take it.

Wait for it...
Halo: CE's campaign was so much fun... I wouldn't mind playing it again as it stands right now. But the improvements will make it that much more timeless. I'm excited. For a campaign play-through with redone graphics I'd pay the full price. Everything else included is bonus.

Multiplayer is back and finally on xbox live! If the 3 shot hand cannon is back as well, this will be a-may-zing!

Supposedly the multiplayer is a map pack for Reach. There is no xbox live multiplayer besides the co-op.

Frankie just confirmed over at HBO that this will ship with all the Reach maps a la the Mythic disc from ODST.

MW3, ESV: Skyrim, and this? Hmm... As much as I loved Halo, I already played it and beat it. Not to mention - I LOVED lan parties at the high school, and I don't want those great multiplayer memories to be ruined by... well... you (not all inclusive).

Will be purchasing this when it comes out, just hope they don't try to "update" the bad ass shotgun.

HALO was the 1st xbox fps game I played... nostalgia to the core! Nice job Bungie!

From the melee animation, looks like this will be built on the Reach engine.

I already own the orginal halo combat evolve but i will be picking this up i just won't be playing anything else but co-op can't see me playing competitive MP with a remake game.

Anybody know who's developing this? I'm curious. Also, I'm stuck on that 7 maps thing. Why not all the maps? I understand the number 7 thing, but seriously!
