Report - Halo: Combat Evolved HD Coming in November

Richard Walker

Apparently, the oft-rumoured HD remake of Halo: Combat Evolved is set to launch in time for this holiday season, according to a report on Joystiq gleaned from anonymous sources that state the re-release will be much more than just a simple remastering with high-definition visuals.

Allegedly under development at the New Jersey-based Saber Interactive - the studio behind TimeShift and Namco's forthcoming Inversion - Halo: Combat Evolved HD will utilise an engine other than the Halo: Reach one, and will have all-new art assets. There will also be support for later Halo controller configurations too.

Halo: Combat Evolved HD is one of two Halo titles being developed under the supervision of 343 Industries - the new custodians of the Halo franchise - and it will reportedly support full 1080p HD and 3D televisions. Audio is unlikely to change and multiplayer is currently being figured out, with the possibility of online co-op where the original game featured two-player splitscreen.

If this report turns out to be legitimate, Halo: Combat Evolved HD will be coming to Xbox 360 on November 15th, 2011, perfectly timed for the game's 10th anniversary, as the original launched on the same day in 2001 alongside the first Xbox.

  • Yes the Best halo out of all of them.
  • Fucking sweet
  • Nice will be cool to play this game again and in HD .. Good times =D
  • So, the rumors might be true after all. How popular will this be against Reach, I wonder? Will MLG even consider picking it up?
  • Interesting, will keep an eye on this.
  • I had to blink when I saw this on the front page, the title was bliss and then the righting under neath made me worried, and then even more worried when I read the article. Being developed by same people as Time Shift? If that's true I really hope there is a LOT of input from 343 because it just doesn't sound right... and not using the current Halo engine which is Reach's but some other engine? All this sounds wrong. I really hope they are re-making Halo CE is I still define it as the greatest game of all time but I really hope it isn't being made under these circumstances.
  • The best Halo in the series, if it has multiplayer then I'll definitely be getting this again :D
  • ORGASM!!!
  • Hopefully they don't rush this.
  • i just exploded everywhere
  • Hmm.. ok bit that worries me is this "will be much more than just a simple remastering with high-definition visuals." Soo. lets play what they have changed/fucked up etc.. Still the Libary on legendry in HD will be fun!
  • I am literally giddy with joy!
  • Damn by Saber really? Timeshift was a terrible game... i hope, assuming its true, saber dont fuck this up...
  • I can't wait to smash in keys face again! IN HD =D
  • @11 OMG you are the first person I have ever seen that has stated the Library can be fun... Everyone says it is one of the worst levels of all time. I'm glad to finally see an opposing opinion as I don't think the level is that bad. Truth and Reconciliation in HD is what I'm looking forward too, and seeing an even sexier looking captain keyes model then Halo Reach's :D And I'm really good at playing the what have they changed/fucked game. I love it.
  • That would be freakin awesome!
  • @15 I loved the library secton! Total ball breaking enjoyment used to split screen coop with my mate and he hated it lol
  • if they fuck up multiplayer it will be the letdown of the century.
  • Please have online multiplayer. Please have online multiplayer. Please have online multiplayer. Please have online multiplayer. Please have online multiplayer. Please have online multiplayer. Please have online multiplayer.
  • OMG... *explodes with excitement*
  • Played all Halo's bar this 1 & reach (I'm not a Halo fanboy) - Is it worth playing? does it offer anything not in the sequels??
  • This could be fucking sweet. I remember when I first played Halo: CE. Legendary kicked my ass. So much.
  • @21 Difficult to say really. It was the first one, the ground-breaker, so when we all first played it there was nothing to compare it to, and so it was just awesome. The sequels built on the first one as far as graphics etc. are concerned, but some would say that the first one was the best as far as storyline was concerned. Bah, just buy it and play it and decide for yourself!
  • I'll buy it. I'd have fun going through Legendary co-op again, especially with online this time. Plus I'd love to play through it again with updated graphics, not that the original looks bad.
  • Do like=D
  • I'll only be impressed if they truly make it a remake like Goldeneye 007 for Wii was a remake. I don't want to see the exact same game, I want the game to be inspired by the original, but offer players some new graphical flourishes and an improved gameplay engine, perhaps giving us a hint of new gameplay features that will be introduced in their other Halo title, as well as newly designed level layouts and the like. I know I'll get slammed for saying this, but also how about some revamped multiplayer? As much as CoD gets boring for me after a while, I have always loved the thrill of unlocking new weapons and attachments for my guns. If Halo had customization beyond armor, I'd never stop playing it. As it stands, I put it back on the shelf the moment CoD came out (which I've subsequently shelved as I await Killzone 3). I dunno, just a thought...
  • YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is better than Christmas!! Seriously!
  • Now allow me to get greedy and ask for a Halo 2 HD remake. The best multiplayer game of all time IMO. But yes this is a first day purchase, which will suck after having bought Skyrim four days earlier and still cracking out on that.
  • Will there be any achievements?
  • i hope this turns out to be good. i loved halo 1 when i first got my xbox, wasnt a massive fan of halo 3 or odst and havent played reach but have played CE on xbox and pc numerous times. im abit concerned myself about the timeshift dev, heard its an ok game but not the best game in the world and i hope they dont mess this up. i think the only way itll work is if its near enough just an identical port but in HD and looking alot nicer and maybe update the controls and add a good multiplayer. but if they change the style and gameplay it could easily fail. will nov 15th be a worldwide release? if so skyrim and ce at the same time? gonna be a good month. and this is coming from a person who isnt a big fan of 360 halo games but i am really looking forward to it.
  • All they need to do to impress me is have the HD visuals, slightly improved graphics (we don't need Halo CE re-done in Reach graphics), transfer over the Halo PC 16 multiplayer with the new maps from Gearbox, and maybe add online co-op, that will be epic and surpass any new release this year!
  • This is good news can't wait :)
  • Holy high school memories batman...This should be cool
  • Put in online multiplayer. It means 10 yr olds won't play. This would be be the 3rd year in a row we have had a Halo game. I really hope we don't have another Halo game in 2012. Don't make it like CoD or GH MS!
  • The only one I ever liked.
  • Someone get me a tissue!(im not crying)
  • 1080p visuals with 480p sounds BLAST. Still Full 1080p Halo. Sweeeet.
  • This would be pretty awesome, as much of a Halo noob I am.
  • While I'm excited to see a remake of one of the best games in the series, I'm anxious about the choice of developers. TimeShift was good; but not GREAT, and I don't want Halo developed by anyone other than Bungie/343. In other words, keep games in the studios that originally developed them. Hopefully all they're doing is just a re-skin, and won't be making any serious changes.
  • hmmm, will there be achievements with this?
  • What is the other title they are working on then? Personnaly i'm hoping for Halo wars 2 but i doubt it seen as that was ensemble studios but one can dream i suppose.
  • Please, change the warthog steering! This was a pain in the ass
  • I have bad feelings about this.
  • My day has just been made
  • the real important thing here, isn't new graphics or multiplayer... the important thing will be finally getting achievements for Halo:CE!
  • They better not fuck this up. One of the best games of all time.
  • Hopefully they ace this, and does not turn out to be a dissapointment, would hate that because Halo CE is one of my favourite games up to date...
  • @40/@46 I would presume so. There's nothing to suggest it wouldn't, because it will eithier be retail or a large arcade game. Unless it will just be a massive update to the Xbox Originals version that's already out there.
  • Apparently I went full retard then and imagined the #46 comment was about having achievements.
  • While I'm sure I'll pick this up eventually Mass Effect 3, Elder Scrolls V and the inevitable Assassin's Creed release will be taking up far too much of my time this fall and winter.
  • ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!!
  • Note how they said "one of TWO games". Hmm.
  • I hope they dont fuck it up.
  • This is gonna be awesome. The best of them all.
  • Not super exicted but I'll take it. It's like my (very hated) argument for Star Wars. The newer ones were done with fresh CGI. The original 4 should be remade. It's a veritable EYESORE to watch them 1-6. The change from new school to old school just bugs me. 4, 5, 6 are still the best and most classic and nothing will ever top Empire but the saber battle comparison just makes me sad. Combat Evolved takes place directly after Reach. I've not played CE since before even Halo 3 so playing it right after for story's sake would again just kill my eyes for the graphics comparison. I would definitely take this up though especially since it'll bring the old school stuff back.
  • hmm quite posibly should have been done using reach engine will have to wait and see, would be depressed if it didn't have full 16player multiplayer and 2 player co-op over live if i'm honest
  • yes im a bit of a halo fanboy but this was great in its day, that was a long time ago. For the people who say this was the best game ever, you do remember that the whole second half was the first half backwards....
  • would be tempted to buy this...ive only played halo CE and i enjoyed it on split screen. Would be fun with online co=op but F the vs crap. Do not want lol
  • i need to clean off my keyboard and monitor....this is fkn AMAZING.!
  • They better not ruin this -_- the best console shooter of all time better not get ruined for me.... AND THEY BETTER NOT DOWNGRADE THE PISTOL
  • @ 56 - I highly doubt there will be co-op especially if it's a remake. There was no call for it and while I LOVE some co-op fun, it's something I'd like to see stay as close to it's original aside from graphics.
  • What is the point? Think of something new ffs instead of rehashing tired old games. Sequels are bad enough but this? No thanks.
  • sounds good - glad bungie studios have passed the torch though. -and moved on. Still looking forward to future of the franchise and how far it will go - hopefully involving the masterchief! - hopefully we will one day see this hit the silver screen! who knows who knows
  • This is a day one buy for me Halo One is one of the best ones out there.
  • THIS IS AWESOME!!!!
  • Who care about Halo: CE? Bring us Halo 2!!!
  • not really a big halo fan but cant wait.
  • Love reading the comments of "No, this is bad/Tired old games suck/etc" buried in the multiple layered comments of "AWESOME/DAY ONE BUY/etc". YOU don't like it - Fine. Get over it. @ 67 - I never really got into 2. Either way, if you're going to remake stuff, I'd rather them start with the first anyway.
  • I was just telling my friend how awesome Halo 2 would be with achievements..
  • A new engine with new art is certainly I do appreciate. Reach was a bit dark where the first Halo was...colourful. I just hope it is not just an HD update and hope there is a new game under the hood. Wouldn't mind paying £40 on a 'reboot' of an all-time classic rather than £20 (standard for a budget title) on a game with updated graphics when you can easily get it for under a fiver. This certainly is interesting news. Will be keeping eyes on it
  • @ 71 - Reach was supposed to be about sacrifice and loss while CE was about Chief bringing back hope. I would love to see it untouched aside from graphics. Maybe even a few new cutscenes would be acceptable.
  • Awesome!!!
  • I'm looking forward to playing Halo:CE again. Hopefully they don't ruin the game.
  • Well, I bought Halo on games on demand for my box recently...blahhhhh...gimme some sort of discount damnit!!!
  • @70 Get Halo 2(PC) it has a full 1000GS OT: I cant wait for this now!!!!!! Blood Gulch anyone?
  • So long as 343 has the reigns of the developer under a TIGHT grasp, then this could turn out a very awesome remake.
  • PS and with Achievements which is even better lol Hopefully it doesn't release as a 15$ XBLA or a 60$ full retail but somewhere in the middle like 30$
  • @ 75 - Did the same when it came out. I hate that it makes you sign out of Live for it as well. It just didn't feel the same. @ 77 - That's what worries me regardless. It's not going to be Bungie so there's minimal chance it will have the same feel. Only one way to find out though.
  • Alright, maybe I can actually beat this one. I got half way through it on PC (legendary) but my damn computer crashed and I lost my save. I couldn't bare to go through all that hell again. We'll see if I decide to get this one or not since I'm not even a PC gamer and that's the only game I've ever had for PC. It should be good to play it on console though(I didn't have the original Xbox :[).
  • This is one of those wait and see how it turns out kinda deals. They've got big shoes to fill.
  • Hum I'm some what skeptical. Not that I doubt this is being done, if the rumours where untrue MS would have denied them by now. But I honestyly dont think MS would have delayed Gears 3 until November when they where planning to release this the same week.
  • that is feckin' awesome news
  • as much as i want to be happy for this I'd rather them just change nothing and do a graphic upgrade, the only thing I'd think they would need to add is online but no new weapons
  • Timeshift sucks, fingers crossed for an adequate redux and I would definitely buy it.
  • Don't add new weapons and keep the original gunning system the same. Seeing the graphics updated and the storyline the way it was is perfectly fine! But I really don't trust the guys that made Timeshift to do this project.
  • I think im going to cry. Someone hold me...
  • If this is real, this is amazing! It just seems too good to be true though. :/
  • Original Halo multiplayer would be SWEET
  • omg i just pee a little bit in my pants screaming out of excitement. Must be i'm already too old to hype over any games but this i will definitely will want to play. The best Halo game gets remastered o/
  • its so funny when they dont know what do with a franchise that once was the best out of any of them. so they just decide hey lets just remake all the titles again and make it "better looking" people will buy the shit out of it no matter what just cause of the name pretty much. ugh. so disgusted with the route video games are going now adays. i love halo alot, but just let it die already geez.
  • and i jizzed...in..my pants
  • sweetness
  • @ 91 - Not always the case. If enough fans bug the Devs for a remake, they'll get it. It's cheap to do compared to making a whole new product and people will buy it. It just depends on the quality. I'm all for a FF7 remake but when you compare it to the original which was magnamamous and on 4 discs, jumping from $20 to $60 retail is a bit of a spanking. I'm sure they'd add new content and whatnot but in honesty (again, personal opinion) with the massive amount of crap that gets made and gets seqeuls, a completely sellable remake is right up the consumers alley. It just all depends on the care and execution.
  • I'm just curious why Gearbox wasn't tapped since they were the ones that ported the original to PC (so at least there is some familiarity).
  • I...i just teared up a little.. Assault in the Control room or 343 guilty Spark
  • i was just talking about how awesome this would be with my cousin... damned mind readers I tell you
  • Sweet that would be cool if they did this to halo 2
  • OHH PLEASE DONT RUIN IT! Although looking forward to gfx improvements, but the sounds in 5.1 on original is still epic
  • @ 95 - Good call. I would've taken Gearbox on this as well. Hope they can bring back some luster to the Alien franchise with Colonial Marines after the horrorfest that I tried my damndest to enjoy with AvP. Damn you Rebellion.
  • HOLY FUCKING SHIT BALLS BATMAN!!!!! :D
  • @91 Why would we want to let a series die that we all love soo much that we want more games?
  • Remade under the supervision of but not by 343? Whilst I am sure to buy this day one anyway, I just don't like the idea that it's being done by the guys who did TimeShift (which wasn't that great at all, concept was good though) and using an entirely different engine than Reach? With a different art style too? Call me pessimistic but that doesn't sound all that promising. Oh well here is hoping for some more info this year now.
  • Maybe it's just me, but this seems really unnecessary. I mean, maybe if it was released before Reach, as an appetizer of sorts? But now... Also, as much as I love every Halo game, my allegiances lie with Halo 2.
  • We made it 29 posts before someone was only concerned with achievements! NEW RECORD!
  • Pretty cool, but lets hope they import the multiplayer component of the PC version and some 4 player online co-op, then I seriously will consider buying this. Also, I hope they don't charge more than $20-$30 for a remake of a game that you can find in Gamestop for like $5. If it is full retail price (knowing Microsoft and what they did to ODST, it will be) I'm not touching it.
  • Too bad Skyrim comes out 4 days prior... I won't be getting this anyway unless it has competitive multiplayer.
  • I loved Halo:CE, but I don't really see the point in this... Original Halo is hardly outdated. I played it about 2 weeks ago in co-op. This just reeks of unnecessary.
  • Killer! @107; I agree, Skyrim will take priority for sure. I hope Halo HD is XBLA.
  • There was a lot of backtracking in halo, go here. Now turn around and go back. It was fun, just not the right time in my gaming career to be one of my all time favorites.
  • Halo vs Call of Duty, coming this November. Who wins? YOU DECIDE! PRE-ORDER NOW!
  • @ 111- I vote Duke Nukem
  • This could be incredible or the biggest gaming disaster ever. It's all going to be down to how the MP is handled. The integrity of the original must be kept at all costs and since they chose not to use the shitty Reach engine. Please do this right 343.
  • @ 113 - I'm just curious what's shitty about it? I have no issue with it. Just looking to see your opinion sir.
  • If this turns out to be true, I will be very impressed. So many memories of desperately fleeing the legendary onslaught to revive my mate, who was sitting in the very same room - as it should be.
  • Hopefully it has online multiplayer with all the same maps as the first one.
  • this is awesome as long as the rumor of kinect isnt involved with this remake. I CAN'T WAIT
  • Now this, if it true, is going to be E P I C. I always liked HALO now I'm going to have another reason to like it a bit more, yay. :)
  • Very happy to see a HD remake made, but concerned that the Timeshift guys are doing it. But I am interested in this. Would like to play the first again.
  • zomg cortana will be smoking hd-style lol
  • caaaaanttt waiiiit i loved halo, memorize everythinggg from that baby
  • No words can control my bliss at this moment had I don't think that any words can from now till Nov. 15th.
  • If the story line gets changed, I will be very dissapoint.
  • @67 I agree! Halo 2 is the best Halo game IMO.
  • @108 I agree with you completely. The original Halo was the best and still is. It is 10 years old but it still plays really well. The only reason for the remake is to bring it into the online world which the original lacked. I think they should have waited 5-10 years before remaking Halo Combat Evolved.
  • #123, i dont see the story changing #124, halo CE is best story, halo 2 best online play. Updated graphics, mabye add new weapons and duels if you dont then dont change the Assault rifle from 60 shots per clip to 32.
  • Timeshift was a really fun game and the multiplayer was a blast.No way they mess it up since basically all they have to do is make it prettier and 343 Ind. will guide them on how to make the multiplayer great
  • Looks like all we can do is wait and see wattle (get it, wattle, coz the Prophets have wattles!) happen. But if they screw this up... Oh boy they better relocate their studios, coz there will be a lot of metaphorical bricks flung at them...
  • and i'm like YES!
  • YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
  • i hated reach, but all the other Halos (except ODST, which was ok) were excellent. also: SCORE! now i can sell my combat evolved!
  • This seems like a nice rumour, but it is very unlike Microsoft to compete with themselves - releasing a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved would be in direct competition with Gears of War 3 - arguably the 360's other powerhouse exclusive. Still, if they do release them around the same time, I'll probably be first in line to pick up my copy, Halo had a huge impact on me growing up - it has the distinction of being the first console FPS that I thoroughly enjoyed.
  • Better look clean, I like the Reach engine.
  • "Halo: Combat Evolved HD will utilise an engine other than the Halo: Reach one" I may actually buy this then
  • ahaha i see lots of halo fans here :)
  • freaking awesome! i have the original from games on demand and love it. just need to beat it first! it will be even better with a graphical facelift and achievements, so sounds like a must buy to me!
  • I really don't want to beat this on legendary solo. =/
  • Aload of crap imo lul but good luck with it... NOT!
  • Pistol better be one shot headshot nuff said
  • I still own Halo CE on the original xbox and the only reason I dont play it anymore is because of the original xbox controllers. The controllers are so unnatural to use. So this remake should be great to get back into Halo CE, especially with achievements!
  • I love Halo, but I feel like this remake is too soon. I would prefered to wait for a Halo remake for the next generation xbox.
  • @6 did you really say that you think the first halo is the greatest game of all time? I usually can't stand people who incite arguments, but...HAVE YOU PLAYED ANY OTHER GAME EVER???? there is no way any of the Halo games could qualify for best game ever. I'm sorry, but you're an idiot.
  • This is the greatest game in the series so I really hope they don't rush and make it good.
  • They'd better release it November 15, Halo's 10th birthday. Of course, it's a toss-up how many people will be up to their eyeballs in Skyrim and won't notice / ignore Halo: CE HD. On the plus side, it would make Halo rival CoD for having every iteration of the series available on the 360.
  • @142 You do realize that what game another person thinks is the best of all time is an opinion. It doesn't make anyone an "idiot" if you do not agree with that opinion. If you want people to respect your opinion you might want to respect others opinions. I like Halo MP, but I don't really care for the Halo story in games. I'll have to wait to see what the MP will be like before deciding if this is a purchase or not. That is if the rumors true.
  • Here is a Trailer : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noi67gC24Z8
  • @146 your so full of shit
  • NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ruin your own goddamn version of Halo and leave this one ALONE ! it's a goddamn classic for a reason.
  • After reading the comments I'm slowly realizing that people CLING to old games and reject anything new. Halo CE is definitely a great game, and was amazing at the time, but that time was 10 years ago. I understand nostalgia for nostalgia's sake (god knows I still love Sonic shitty game after shitty game) but I don't get how people will say this is the single best game of the series. In all regards, it is inferior compared to the sequels, and each game has built upon what made it's predecessor great, making each game progressively better. I still to this day don't understand what people's beef is with Halo 2. It had virtually everything that made CE great, and then some, yet people have crucified it as the worst of the 5. I'm looking forward to this, but could I live without a remake of a game I've already thoroughly enjoyed? Yes. Oh and to #143, the first Halo was extremely rushed, yet we got what we did. A rush doesn't necessarily equate to bad game. Halo 1 definitely had it's flaws. I'm just sick of people treating it like it's the end all perfect game. It's a great game, not perfect.
  • @148 Who said you can't still play the original after this comes out?
  • i'm i the only one worried since timeshift sucked and it's being done by that company
  • I would play the single player campaign again because it will remind me of when I got the first xbox. It was a great time! @149 I loved Halo 2. Idk why anyone has a problem with it.
  • Yay! Let's hope they don't ruin it.
  • hope they dont fuck up the best game in the series
  • now all we need is a halo 2 remake for xbox 360 lol easy achievs i guess
  • yessss. put some online multiplayer, achievements, and HD ! im definitely picking this up. halo1 had an amazing storyline. the best in my opinion out of all the halos. best online multiplayer is Halo2 hands down !!!! :)
  • eh, it's a remake, honestly, I think the multiplayer should just tie in with Reach.... quite like with the ODST bonus multiplayer disc.... if Halo 3 multiplayer could survive 3 years of solid player from such a huge community.... Reach would do the same, as it's a strong title online and in campaign. Halo: CE HD = WIN Halo: CE HD Multiplayer = too much, too soon and no Reach engine Halo: CE HD (Reach Multiplayer Tie-In) = WIN Also, Reach is far from the 1750 gp limit ;)
  • @157 ODST was almost an addon for 3 though, that's why the box art says Halo 3: ODST. It's not gonna be Halo Reach: 1, and it's not using the reach engine, so It'll almost definitely have a different multiplayer, if one at all. But think of the multiplayer map remakes.
  • this could be good, could be a disaster. i hope they do halo 2 as well in any case.
  • I hope if this goes over well, we get an HD remake of Halo 2.
  • Finally a studio with good ideas works on Halo. Timeshift over Halo any day.
  • Jesus this is turning into another cod franchise thing, re-release games already released but with slightly better graphics and char. e everyone £40 for it. Well at least its not another halo where the storyline disappears completely up its own arse.
  • WOOOOOOOOOOOOORD!!!!!!!
  • gonna approach this one with caution. i have fond memories of the first one, many hours spent with the old school hockey-puck style controlers playing co-op with my friends. man i hope its not screwed up
  • *drools* Best news I've heard in a while. I can not wait for this!!!!
  • Err body luv more Halolz
  • Yeah--maybe the greatest games just like Empire Strikes Back and Die Hard are great films. I remember not too long ago Halo uniting all of us in story serialization through it's sequels and upped the ante in terms of intensity
  • "3D televisions" lol
  • Seems that in all the comments people have yet to mention that "THERE WILL BE ACHIEVEMENTS!!!"
  • Looks like a stupid move if you ask me. In all those years they have never released a Gears & Halo in one year. And if they do, why prospone Gears3 ? .. Now they are relasing them at the same time
  • Would be a buy for me.
  • at first i didn't care or want it. but now i really want this to be true. Halo CE was the best after all
  • I wouldn't mind playing through CE again with updated graphics. I kind of hope for no multiplayer though. It will be rushed since it is already February, and the weapon balancing will be terrible.
  • They better just re-skin the environment. I don't want to see a whole new Combat Evolved.
  • Is it on Arcade or seperate Disc? I don't honestly feel like spending more than 15-20$ on a remake. I still have the original Halo Combat Evolved game for Xbox, and it works perfectly fine still.
  • Being the first Xbox-exclusive HD remake, I am excited to see this and Halo 2 remade on the Xbox 360. If this is true, they should just remaster the graphics to HD, add some neat achievements and DONE. That is all.
  • If halo 2 is ever remade, I hope they don't take out the ability to get out of maps in both the campaign and multiplayer, that was amazing being able to just explore and the invisible walls of Reach pissed me off.
  • Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Of course there'll be achievements. It's MS policy that both retail and Arcade titles have them. @150 - People say the same thing with movie remakes. Apparently they'll delete the title and confiscate all existing copies of it.
  • Hell yeah!
  • I'd like to see all the original maps along with forge, firefight, theater, etc. Not just an HD remake with achievments. I hope that it'll only make it better. I clocked so many days at my friend's playing CE. I wonder if that will happen again.
  • @70 I have 1000G on Halo 2:-) only thing that concerns me is the developer, Timeshift was trash. Also, a few things, and I cant believe people ask retarded questions, ahem.. 1.) Of course its gonna have multiplayer! stupid question answered 2.) Of course its gonna have achievements! stupid question answered 3.) Of course its gonna have online co-op! stupid question answered Itll be a full retail game and will cost between $40-$60...
  • For sure I'd buy this. I still have my original copy but unfortunatly the disc is scratched :(
  • looking forward to this day one buy but i hope they have actually spent time on it (not like COD a game a year)
  • I smell the milking of Halo for money....
  • (mouth drop)
  • All I want is a simple HD remake. Why do they have to do more? Ugh...
  • Meh, I think I'll halo'd out to be honest
  • This would be awesome!!!
  • if there is online multiplayer and cheevos, i will seriously consider picking this up, i've been waiting for this forever i've always loved halo 1's multiplayer
  • Lets hope for the best. I love Halo:CE unfortunately I can't find my game at the moment which is a downer but I hope this goes well and I'm hoping for some decent remaking let us not forget that remake either go very well of very badly so 343 dont fuck it up!
  • Really? Really Microsoft? I thought cool when I saw this article title. But to go from Bungie to "Timeshift developer" on your first outting.. Anyone even remember timeshift? 343 bitchslap incomming because that shit was turrible! And what the hell do they mean considering multiplayer Co-op? You can tell these guys don't get Halo. Campaign was all about riding with your boys in Warthogs, while trying to outrun the explosions as the ring blew up. Better be some damn multiplayer Co-op! Main damn reason to buy this games besides the new visuals.
  • I loved Halo CE, it was the first game I got with my the original Xbox. I hope these rumours turn out to be true!
  • if they are remaking halo combat evolved then they should remake halo 2 for xbox 360.
