Halo 4 on the 360? No way.
Why not?

Games like Halo will never be launch games,so that would be something like 2015?2016?...long wait

Halo CE was a launch title.

Another Halo? Why not just wait for the next 360, and make it a launch title.

that's because first it was delayed on MAC and then on PC.

I found Halo Reach almost unplayable. I've never played such a boring game in my life. Halo 4 is in desperate need of some funshading.

SP runs on the same engine as the original Halo:CE. Frank O'Connor told Geoff Keighley that during an interview.

Kinda,he said that it runs on CE physics and gameplay engine but they have graphical layer that can be easily turned off/on.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #21 on:** June 07, 2011, 09:16:44 AM »

-graphics not great
-only like half the multiplayer maps
-multiplayer maps are "revised" instead of straight geometry rips
-mutliplayer seems to use the wonkier reach physics

Seriously, this will be my GOTY if they do it right, even if it is a remake or whatever -- not to mention the first time I'll spend more than a week on an FPS since like the release of CS:S

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #24 on:** June 07, 2011, 09:31:53 AM »

Depends on the price for me with Halo CE. If it was 40 or under I would pick it up. If it's 60 then I'll just wait until next year when it drops in price.

tiesto · « **Reply #25 on:** June 07, 2011, 09:46:48 AM »

Are they at least gonna redo the level design in the Halo 1 rmx? The level designs in that game were AWFUL and so repetitive.

They didn't do it right. It doesn't come with Halo CE multiplayer; the remake is campaign-only with Reach multiplayer tacked on, like ODST.

So in other words it's worthless.

Pretty sure it said $40. Wasn't ODST $40? Or 50.

Either way I'm gonna cop this...

@ Optimo - the actual Halo wont have online MP (offline maybe?), the remade maps are Reach.

Remamastering of old games should be banned by law.

Didn't you buy the God of War collection, you fuck?

No, it was a gift you idiot.

You still played it, right? Then shut up.

No I didn't. Fuck off small town redneck.

get a room you 2.

I guess halo really does bring out the worst in people.

Wait, Anniversary isn't a straight XBLA title? Wow... they won't go for US$60, but you can bet it won't be $20, either.

WTF. I guess I missed that just skimming through here this morning. Worthless pretty much sums it up, yeah. They're probably fearful it would be recognized by today's Halo kiddies as being the superior multiplayer experience to everything that comes after amirite

This kinda just ruined my day. No joke

iconoclast · « **Reply #32 on:** June 07, 2011, 07:44:26 PM »

Frankie says they don't want to split the playerbase.

I love how Capcom has SF2, SF3, SF4, SFxTK, MvC2, MvC3 all online on one system. They don't give a fuck about splitting up their much smaller playerbase.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #33 on:** June 07, 2011, 09:52:07 PM »

They'd rather split their playerbase among 18 barren playlists

10 of which that are only accessible by buying $30 worth of shitty maps.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #35 on:** June 07, 2011, 11:10:13 PM »

Nah, in Reach all playlists are open to everyone. So if you bought the maps you almost never see them.

The initial halo had a great atmosphere and the good sense to leave it's storyline in the background. After the second game it's impossible to take the epic tenor of the series seriously because the narrative is such a dumb cluster fuck.

Hey, you don't have to own Reach to play multiplayer, right? It all comes on the Anniversary disc? I'm just a little confused because I keep reading "map pack" everywhere.

demi · « **Reply #46 on:** November 14, 2011, 11:13:57 AM »

I think you can only play the Anniversary playlist / maps, while there is an included code for Reach DLC.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #47 on:** November 14, 2011, 11:18:53 AM »

Huh, I thought it might be like ODST where you got the entire MP with it.

demi · « **Reply #48 on:** November 14, 2011, 11:20:49 AM »

Nope, MS has to squeeze out that sponge... in fact I dont think there is a code included. I cant find concrete info.

All this multiplayer content will actually be sold separately in the "Anniversary Map Pack" for 1200 Microsoft Points, scheduled to come out the same day Anniversary is released. Additionally, Anniversary will include a code for this map pack, so you have the option of downloading the content to store on your hard drive (making it easier to launch these maps through Halo: Reach) or just launching them through your Anniversary disc.

demi · « **Reply #50 on:** November 14, 2011, 11:27:52 AM »

Cool. I'm sure I can use the code for trade fodder...

i just don't want to be getting booted out of lobbies for not having maps, and i'm not buying any extra shit

demi · « **Reply #52 on:** November 14, 2011, 11:38:02 AM »

What's confusing?

You can only play the Anniversary maps. On the Anniversary playlist. You won't get booted, you won't get shuffled to different maps, there will be zero instance of any other maps, because you are locked to the Anniversary playlist. That only plays Anniversary maps. You don't have to buy a single thing.

Owl-faced Wizard · « **Reply #53 on:** November 14, 2011, 11:39:56 AM »

Man, the remake is not looking too good.
So do people think MS is gonna do a Twilight Princess with Halo 4 and release it on 360 and 1080? Maybe improve the textures/lighting/framerate for the 1080 version?

It's been a long, long time since I have played Halo MP (really since Halo 2, I never bothered with the MP much in the others), I wasn't exactly sure how it worked nowadays what with all the various add-ons and packs.

Halo 4 is the 2012 Halo game. I don't think the loop or w/e is going to be 2012. So, no, unless there is another Halo game to fill the gap.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #56 on:** November 15, 2011, 11:58:38 AM »

I can confirm that there is a Halo Reach DLC code for the anniversary map pack inside the box. Also some avatar bullshit and an " exclusive grunt funeral skull."

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #57 on:** November 15, 2011, 01:41:39 PM »

I bought the anniversary map pack for Reach. Even though I don't play Reach very much anymore I figure 7 maps for 15 dollars isn't bad and those playlists should have a lot of people.
