Honestly, I think this is a little bit too soon for a remake. If they released it as a launch title for the 720, they could just do so much more with it...

@Esposch

But do they NEED to do so much more with it? They went through a helluva lot of content in that video. It actually seems like the perfect time to be doing this because of what they said - there's a whole generation of gamers who missed this but have played the newer ones. This gives those players a chance to experience the original with all the new flare before they start a brand new trilogy with Halo 4.

I have no doubt that some people were asking for online coop. But I'm also convinced that more people were looking for online Halo CE multiplayer, which sadly isn't in the anniversary edition.

The friends I used to play split-screen multiplayer with all moved across the continent and we would have loved that.

@Jayeffaar agreed. I laughed out loud at that part of the interview... "I would say the day xbox live came out and the demand for halo 1 and the ability to play...say co op over xbox live"

I was one of those people playing halo 1 over system link online (dont even remember the name of the service now, but I loved it) and I dont think there was a single time I played co op online. I wanted multiplayer and so did everyone else. But way to plug what your game can do vs. what it can't.

@Jayeffaar Why do people still not get that the Reach multiplayer has a new classic mode that is pretty similar to halo 1?

And that a lot of reach stuff (besides the campaign) comes with this game, with Seven new maps along with all the dlc and existing maps from reach? It'll just be like Reach with the halo 1 campaign.

343 aren't marketing well enough, it seems.

Now I'd love to see a Halo 2 anniversary. In some small way it would be cool to have the whole saga on one system, but if I'd have to guess, I could see Halo 4 out next year and Halo 2 anniversary as a key multiplayer shooter launch title for the 720?

The first one was a masterpiece...but am I alone in thinking I'd rather just have something new, even a limited, ODST sort of deal, than a rehash of a game that will always look better in our mind's eye anyway?

@GrendelKhan: It's not a rehash.

@MGTrey

Bit of a stickler, eh?

Fine, it's not a rehash. It's even less interesting. A straight re-release with updated graphics, some wacky skulls, and online coop.

Dont forget Multiplayer, Terminals, Optional Kinect Functionality, New Easter Eggs, Achievements, and more :D

It isnt just a simple re-hash.

I was planning on passing on this for a while since I'll be deep in Skyrim, but man that $40 price point is calling to me.

I cannot wait to play this in 3D. If it is as good as Gears of War 3 it will definitely add to the experience.

this quality of remake needs to be done with more games.

Hey, I may have been eight, but that doesn't mean I wasn't playing Halo.
The strangest thing is that I can trace most of my interest in movies/music/games/TV/Joystiq to this one game.
