I hope it has mod capabilities. I fucking mod's in the first one.
[QUOTE=Fullsteel;27858599]I never figured out why they stopped putting halo games on the PC?[/QUOTE] Halo 2 vista sold shitty, and was hated, plus, Halo's market is 12 year olds, 12 year olds don't really do PC gaming, well, at least not any of the ones I've ever known.

Now Dead Space 2 I could agree if you said that. Also Halo 2 sold shitty because it was Vista only.
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;27853524]AAAAAA[/QUOTE] Whoops. I thought you Custom Edition / Halo PC.
[quote]the controls will allow for more recent Halo configurations.[/quote] I think they are most likely changing the gameplay. There'd be no reason to change the controls to the new ones unless they added new features. [editline]4th February 2011[/editline] Which means it's gonna suck...

People still play the PC port of Halo. They deserve a PC edition of this for their dedication.
As god of the Halo Thread, I can say but this. "Should've sent a poet."
Sweet, I've been wanting this. Hope it's just a graphical revamp with online Co-op and maybe Forge
[QUOTE=Tuskin;27858436]The article says "1 of 2 Halo projects being watched by 343 industries" Whats the other one? Never heard of that.[/QUOTE] Rumors point to some type of true squad based shooter, but the odds of that are slim.

Sounds like a kick to the balls to who every just bought the first one of the marketplace.

I don't pay $100 for a remake. Then i'll play the original Combat Evolved for the nostalgia.
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;27853495]Silent Cartographer in HD mmmm[/QUOTE] I hope a demo of this level releases. That'll own
[QUOTE=geogzm;27853047]halo: combat evolved HD would work[/QUOTE] Or just Halo: Combat Evolved? Adding HD or remastered or anything like that is pointless. Halo:CE is good enough to keep. And I'm sure most people can tell the difference between the Xbox and the 360 covers.
I'm hoping they keep all gameplay aspects exactly the same. The multiplayer actually demanded skill due to very little aim assist. A lot of people that are good at Halo 2/3/Reach suck serious balls at Halo 1, which is a good thing. As long as it's purely a graphical revamp, I'll buy this shit the second it comes out.

And I'm sure most people can tell the difference between the Xbox and the 360 covers.[/QUOTE] Play Halo games in order, from CE -> 2 -> 3. Then play reach. CEs graphics are so terrible compared to the other 3 that Microsoft want a HD version so they can do some sort of box-set, I'm assuming. But if they do that, they will probably remake halo 2 also.
I know they won't, but it would be nice if they released it for the PC. This probably won't be anything worth shouting about though, more likely a port to the 360 using the same assets, just at a higher resolution. If that's the case, you could get a better experience by playing the PC version. Not to mention last I checked the multiplayer still worked. Wait, I jut read the article and they are using new assets. Doesn't matter though, I couldn't give less of a shit about console gaming as it is.

Halo 2 just looks like CE with some better facial animations and lovely shiny shaders.

You just don't notice them as much because they aren't forced to use a mic.
Wow, the first video game that introduced me to video games, that got me into Halflife, that got me into computers, is on an xbox which doesn't work. Son of a bitch
they had better not nerf the pistol
They run out of identical story lines with new names already?
Well, they might need to fix gameplay just a little. I just played sidewinder and spawn killed with the ghost racking 22 kills in 1 life.

They just want to take CE and add Halo 3's graphics for all those graphics whores out there. Halo 2's graphics were better than CE's, HOWEVER Bungie never smoothed the edges and it caused some textures to pop in after they were supposed to. So now I can only imagine that since the series is over (for now?) they want the original 2 remade to go with Halo 3/ODST and Reach so they all look the same.
I hopefully this is less of a remake and more of graphical upgrade.
I'm looking forward to this, and if they end up doing a PC port, I'd love to see Coldsnap return... that was one of the best Halo Custom Edition maps out there...

I'd feel better if this was a XBLA release. Dunno about a Retail game.
If it becomes a retail game, it should not go for $60 like most retail games on release.

They're just enormous maps with horribly balanced vehicles shoved in.
