Full remake of Halo: Combat Evolved coming this year

Yawn... Talk about lazy.

I understand remaking a game that is 20~years old... As it introduces it to a new audience... but this? Who the **** hasn't played the original? It hasn't even aged badly.

Looks like they're looking for a quick buck.

I will not be buying this.

If only Halo Legends had action like that. Leave it to fans to make better work than actual studios.

Woooooow. These dudes must have gone to monty oum's school of machinima. These guys have come so far from last season's crazy action scenes. Red v blue really has evolved into a brand new beast.

Anybody here listen to their podcasts? They're kinda amazing.

New terminals in Combat Evolved mmm

Can't wait to see the rest of them.

Apparentely humans fought and lost to the forerunners long ago. The humans had technology on par, if not better than the forurunners.

hmm

Wait what? So in halo verse Humans used to be uber high tech predating cavemen era of tech?

Apparentely humans were up there with the forerunners, if not even more high tech. The humans found the cure to the flood, and beat them. They began expanding and invaded a flood world and a war broke out between them. The humans lost because their previous battle with the flood weakened them. Upon victory the forerunners devolved humans back to primates and put them on Earth.

All this was mentioned in Halo Fest I believe.

And all that was basically covered in the Cryptum and Primordium novels.

So has anyone played this? Is it any good? Anything new/different?

I still have my pc copy of Halo, so I'm wondering if this is worth even looking at.

Was planning on skipping out on this and just waiting for Halo 4 originally, but now I'm leaning more towards getting this by the end of the year, more-so than Gears 3 anyway. Anniversary's achievements look a lot easier than I thought they'd be too, and are mostly all campaign related (someone change the title of this thread to Halo Anniversary D: ).

I'm curious about the differences this has from the original as well myself though (aside from like graphics), before I fully decide on getting this.

I'm on the fence for this.. I get such a huge blast of nostalgia from this, it almost hurts. Playing multiplayer Halo (and Halo 2) back in the day in middle school.. damn good times.

The main differences I can see are that they added skulls which are unlocked as you find them like on H3, and there are these terminals you can access to see these really awesome cutscenes regarding the forerunners and guilty spark creating the first Halo.

They need to move on.

Just found out Monty oum DOES work at rooster teeth. That explains a whole lot!

Oh, well I guess that's a decent enough change. A bit more than I was expecting from them anyway. Skull and terminal hunting can always be fun at first, especially if the latter leads to decent cutscenes, unlike the terminals in Halo 3 which were kinda boring to look at, achievement aside.

Some of the skulls are a b*tch to get. Unless you're good at grenade jumping.

The terminals are done extremely well, and they unlock a shitload of Cr. apparently on Halo Waypoint.

And that's good to hear about the terminals. Nice improvement if I do say so myself.
