I'm sooo excited, this is how a re-make should be done, fuck all the collections out there this is the only re-make i'm buying.

God it's been so long since i played this game, the memories i had of the second level are great, just spinning donuts in that huge valley and jumping the warthog of the cliffs. As much as i like the scripted set pieces in MW and Uncharted i like the way Halo lets you create your own crazy moments instead of just watching them.

I enjoy every single Halo game that made by Bungie, and was worried about 343 remaking this classic console shooter. However after seeing this vid I think all of my fears have been solved, I will be buying this day 1.

And to every other developer out there this is how you both make and sell a remake.

Frank O' Conner kind of looks like Stone Cold Steve Austin with the beard now.

It is good timing for this release as Halo:CE picks up immediately after the events of Halo Reach. People who may not have played the original can continue the story chronologically. It has come full circle - a sequel to a prequel.

Anyone else zone out a little when they tried selling the 3D/Kinect part?

Maybe it was just me.

Did that guy just use the word "asks" instead of "questions"?

Halo: CE, new content, 40 bucks? That sure beats out Bungie's Halo 3: ODST. Can't wait.

@Franstone: Exactly what I was thinking. "What does Kane have to do with Halo?" CROSSOVER TIME.

I'd probably care way more about Halo had they not stopped releasing the games on PC.

also, at that guy, I'm 18 now, was 8 when Halo came out, and still played the shit out of it.

Funnily enough, I was also eight when I first played the original Halo, but I couldn't understand where to go and what to do with the large areas (at least, that's what I remember) and I soon returned it. I haven't played it since, so this is going to be a must-buy.

Yay! I was also 8 when it came out and turned 18 today! Horray!

I already have it pre ordered at Amazon. Can't wait.

I thought it was some news regarding Kane from Command and Conquer. This is disappointing.

I was 17 when this came out, and have some incredibly fond memories of 8-player LAN games of Halo in my college dorm freshman year.

I may never be able to exactly recreate many elements of that experience (yelling at the people I'm playing with across the hall while trying to clean up spilled beer before the RA sees it, for example) but I think I'm gonna pick this up.

Go ahead, repackage my youth and sell it back to me. I'm a 20-something going through a quarter-life crisis - you know I'll buy it.

SSSSSSSSSSSWEET. My friend and I recently beat the first Halo all in one night, but now we will definitely do it again with this anniversary edition.

I played the first Halo on PC a couple years ago, so none of this is new to me.
