It's just been announced that a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved is coming out on November 15, 2011. It will feature new graphic assets, Co-Op, Xbox Live and even 3D. This is huge news!
EDIT: There is a typo in the title lol.
Halo: Combat Evolved
Game » consists of 17 releases. Released Nov 15, 2001
One of the launch titles of the original Xbox, Halo: Combat Evolved is a sci-fi first-person shooter telling the tale of an advanced cybernetic super-soldier known as the "Master Chief".
Halo: Combat Evoled remake incoming :D
" Cool, I like this more than 343 making it. They should be worrying about the next actual Halo. So if it's a competent upgrade and Diablo 3 doesn't come out this year, I'll probably get it. Never finished CE. "Lol you never completed the first game? :P
" OH FUCK YES THIS IS AWESOME. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS "LOL that's the type of attitude that I was looking for in this topic.
" On second thought, if they remake the multiplayer awesomely so its just like OG CE then this might just be the best thing ever! "Yeah that would be great but Bungie is not developing the game so I'm just worried a bit lol.
Cool. I am totally excited for this. Not sure why. I won't be playing Co-op. I might play online, but I am still totally stoked.
Edit: I don't like that Sabre is developing it. I always assumed 343 was a developer but maybe not? Can't know how it'll be until its out I guess.
Also, damn. I did not know that it will soon be 10 years since the original Halo.
That's because Bungie has already announced that they have completed the Halo game franchise." Why not just make a new game? It's not like Halo CE has become unplayable in the last eight or nine years since it's release. "
" Why not just make a new game? It's not like Halo CE has become unplayable in the last eight or nine years since it's release. "The game is going to be released on the 10 year anniversary, it's kinda the point. I don't think its become unplayable, the PC version probably holds up amazingly but online coop, updated assets, and achievements are an excellent proposition for someone who played and didn't finish it 10 years ago.
" Seriously? And you guys are excited about this? They just suck you people dry you are all suckers to the man. IT'S THE SAME GAME EVERY FUCKING TIME. FUCK. "How is that any different from any other game franchise?
Halo CE is still considered the best of the series, I think it's a great way to celebrate the 10th anniversary.
Though I would like to see them give it a rest after this.
" @fwylo said:I didn't know it was the 10th as I didn't read it but that makes it a bit more understandable. But still. FUCK." Seriously? And you guys are excited about this?

As long as you're as sick of any Sony franchise with more than one game getting an "HD Collection" I will sympathize with you." Seriously? And you guys are excited about this? They just suck you people dry you are all suckers to the man. IT'S THE SAME GAME EVERY FUCKING TIME. FUCK. "
But if I ever happen upon a post in your history where you're praising some other remastered game - you will suffer the mild, mild wrath of me thinking of you as a hypocrite - until I forget the next day.
Super Puzzle Fighter 2 HD remixThat doesn't count - puzzle games gotta do what they gotta do.
I would also ignore any comments you may or may not have made in support of a HD Tetrisphere remake.
I don't see the point. I still own it on XBox, and who the hell are Saber? I own every Halo game, don't think I'll bother with this though.
But THATS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
" @WinterSnowblind: Also when it gets to the point Halo or Call of Duty has, I don't support it anymore. Sequels are made for the soul purpose of going off it's previous game's hype and when it comes the 5th sequel or remake or whatever fuuuuck that. "See, normally I'm against all these HD remakes, but Halo is a fine game that I'd love to see get a fresh coat of paint. The single player campaign is still by far the best in the series, but I really want online co-op and competitive modes for the original game. I don't want to play goddamn Coagulation or whatever the hell it's called at this point, I want BLOOD GULCH. I want Hang 'Em High and Battle Creek. What I wouldn't give to play through those maps again.
" Wouldn't an HD collection make more sense, since the stories rely on each other so damn much? "What would they include in the "HD collection"?
The first three games, along with extras, maybe. You know, kinda like God of War, or Sly Cooper, or Mario.
" @ISuperGamerI:I would agree with you but only on the first 2 games (since Halo 3 is already in HD...kind of) and extra content would also be cool.

It would probably be better to include Halo 3, since, from what I understand, Halo 2 ends on a cliffhanger. If you include Halo 3, you don't piss off fanboys :P.
" I can understand the reasoning why this is being made, but why get the TimeShift guys to do it? "I was thinking the same thing, I was expecting 343 to be doing this but unless they are busy on doing a new Halo game, this is understandable. I'm kinda bummed though that this won't be running on the Reach engine. That would have been awesome.
Hopefully they don't change any core game mechanics. They change how the pistol works at all and I'll be pissed.
" @ISuperGamerI: It would probably be better to include Halo 3, since, from what I understand, Halo 2 ends on a cliffhanger. If you include Halo 3, you don't piss off fanboys :P. "LOL I guess but that depends if they wanna make more money or not.
CTF BLOODGULCH LET'S GO WHO GOT THE WARTHOG STUCK IN THE BASE WTF
As someone who hasn't played a Halo since (no X-Box), that was a really awesome game. I think it's a little (get this now) underrated. I think it's slow pacing and really simple gameplay (not too many weapons, 2 grenades, no powerups) made for a really different experience when it came out. It really distilled multiplayer shooters into something clean, elegant, and super competitive.
Heh Timeshift was okay, but I guess if the story, gameplay, weapons, and characters are already done for them, I can see them making a competent remake for sure.
I just don't know if I feel like playing that campaign again. I did it so much in the Xbox's first three or so years of existence.
" Seriously? And you guys are excited about this? They just suck you people dry you are all suckers to the man. IT'S THE SAME GAME EVERY FUCKING TIME. FUCK. "Are you implying every Halo game is the exact same?
" @fwylo said:I'm implying that I don't play pokemon anymore because all they do is add more pokemon and change some names." Seriously? And you guys are excited about this? They just suck you people dry you are all suckers to the man. IT'S THE SAME GAME EVERY FUCKING TIME. FUCK. "Are you implying every Halo game is the exact same? "
