This looks absolutely terrible, as a player of the original Halo I have every right to say it, it looks like they just took a bunch of random models they had lying around and replaced the originals. Why didn't they just keep the same design for all of the levels and the npc models? Really disappointing because I was looking forward to this.
In terms of multiplayer, this will not sell. It's more like a downgrade from Halo 3-4 and people won't be able to experience much that hasn't already been added in later titles.

Hence my subsequent post.

What I'm really hoping for is the stuff the PC version got exclusively like the weapons and maps.
Edit: Is that Infinity at 0:52?
Well, I like the first Halo game, so I actually kind of approve of this.
I can't shake the feeling that it'll be a depressing mockup of my childhood though.
I think it's great that they're appealing to the niche of people who want Halo 1 with Xbox Live support without paying attention to all the idiots.
Because no matter what they do, someone is going to bitch. If they kept everything the same and just added online multiplayer, people would bitch about it being rehashed bullshit trying to get an extra buck blah blah blah. They make a lot of cosmetic changes and people bitch about them changing too much blah blah blah.
It's fucking Halo 1. As long as they keep the game mechanics the same as they used to be and don't just make it Reach with Halo 1 levels, I will be happy. I really hope they mess with the physics to get them as close to Halo 1 as possible. I want to go back to the days of throwing grenades like a super soldier should throw grenades. I want the old pistol back. I want the old shield/health system back. I want very little aim assist back. I want instakills when a vehicle taps you back.
They can change all they want cosmetically, I just hope I get those things. I hope it really is Halo 1.
BLOOOOOOD GULLLLLLLCHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
By god that is my favorite map of any game ever.
So Pistol is still OP right?

If they changed that no one would buy it
Oh god, someone had the fucking balls to just give an older (and better) game in their series a complete graphical revamp? Epic, please revamp UT99!
Some more info and gameplay:

Fuck. I guess I'll have to get an Xbox then.
Not touching the gameplay?
Insta-buy from me. Totally sold.
I would totally buy if they had it for the pc since I would feel like I wasted money if I bought it for the same system twice.
even the way the elites move look that same
I really hope they don't fuck it up by making it too much like Halo Reach.For the remake,they should do nothing except raise the graphics and add the Energy Sword.I will be pissed if it's gonna be just a reskin of Reach.
Looks awesome!
And we know it will be good because we already know the story. Perfect!
This does look pretty cool, although I have to be honest, I think I kind of like the original graphics better. I mean christ, look at the pistol and the MC's armor!

Did you watch the video.
They aren't changing the gameplay. You'll literally be able to switch between new/old Halo as you please, it's just a graphical revamp. It looks like the only "new" thing they're adding to the multiplayer is the assassinations and maybe armor customization.
Hell, I even saw insta-kill warthog hits in that video.

[del]The multiplayer component is the one I'm most confused about it. Whether or not it'll be built-in to the game, or if it'll be a second disc containing Reach multiplayer.[/del]
Nevermind. I found the answer.
Combat Evolved is great because it has wildly overpowered weapons but manages to get away with it.
[QUOTE=Tunak Mk. II;30301219]Combat Evolved is great because it has wildly overpowered weapons but manages to get away with it.[/QUOTE]
It has overpowered weapons for each scenario.
None of this "You can do good with everything" bullshit that games nowadays play. At close ranges, the guy with the shotgun will always win. If you're at medium ranges, the guy with the pistol (which is almost everyone so it balances out) will win. If you're at long ranges, the guy with the sniper rifle will win.
I mean, on maps like Blood Gulch with vehicles, it's a race to the sniper rifle and rocket launcher. However, nobody would touch a sniper rifle on Longest. Nobody touches the rocket launcher on Boarding Action (although rockets only games on that map are fun as shit).
I'm fucking excited for Blood Gulch and Sidewinder. Those maps were the bees knees.
i wanna see pretty high-res boarding action
ill buy it if its on the PC like the old one, if not, no thanks.
Wait holy shit [I]they have a button so that you can flip to the old visuals?[/I]
I'm going to abuse the fuck out of that.
The assault rifle looks fucking ugly.
They could just kept it, with new textures.
I thought the footage of the assassinations and sprinting was them adding the original maps to Reach in the video.

The Assault Rifle in Halo:CE is different from the gun in Reach, they are not the same.

This is terrible.
343 just port over the old model, you're ruining the nostalgia.
