Halo: CEA

[Deathhawk]

We have a Halo 4 thread, may as well. We can move these tothe Xbox 360 forums.

Frankie confirms some things related to multiplayer and graphics,

Maps:
-Beaver Creek
-Damnation
-


For example, the Library is still scary, eerie, dangerous – but now, with some clever use of textures and colors and lighting, it’s a bit easier to navigate. There are visual cues to orient yourself by, as you battle the bad guys who now inhabit that space.

I heard about a firefight map too, that could mean flood!

[II Recanz II]

So, there bringing the best maps from every Halo game to reach?

Why does that scare me... -__-

[Maxdoggy]

I am really interested in the Halo: CE Anniversary, as it allows you to turn off the new & updated graphics at any time while in the game (by pressing the "Back" button) to be able to experience the classic Halo graphics. Awesomesauce.

[LocoCrazy]

Another halo topic? I guessing to expect another 5.

this is awesome... i hope that gets to stay in the game

[d3ad1te]

I hope firefight map is flood!

And what is the map that was never seen on consoles?

I hope there is no flood in the story... it doesn't need it... it would be halowars flood all over again.... firefight? fine just not in the story. Flood were only ever stored on halo rings so that way if they need to be stopped at one ring they can fire it without killing everyone in the galaxy

Are you stupid?

[Kuhblam]

It's Halo:CE. Therefore, there will be Flood. And it will be glorious. Little disappointed the marines look like Army troopers. Then again, they are an updated version and this has Reach written all over it.

Well, Halo CE does take place right after the events of Halo: Reach. So why wouldn't it be Reachified?

I'm more excited for this than Halo 4.

You have a point; I just like staying true to the roots.

Also, agreed with that bottom statement. Halo 4 + Halos 5,6 will only be paid for by virtue of FC.

[LocoCrazy]

When Johnson died. Halo died.

[Coldest]

sad face...whats wrong with the Army? lolz

[XxClearSh0txX]

Damn, I wish I hadn't missed E3. I'm pumped for this game, online Co-op with the best campaign ever ftw! Anyone know if CEA will have online customs?

[Kuhblam]

We can honor the fallen with... well, I don't know, I give up.

"Seven of the Best Halo Maps" will be resurrected and most likely put into a "Multiplayer Disc" for Halo: Reach, much like what happened with Halo 3: ODST.

[Hazy]

In short: Much Like ODST held us over until Reach came out, CEA is going to take over the franchise until Halo 4....and maybe afterwards as well. Idk, I'm still extremely skeptical about what it'll be like. Once I see more I'll feel more comfortable about it.

As for this, I already have it pre-ordered.

[Hazy]

LIES! I KNEW ABOUT HALO EVEN BEFORE IT WENT MAINSTREAM, GOD


Lol, I meant as in a metaphoric sense. As in even if it's just a damn pre-order I'm going to sleep over gamestop to be the first to order.

[OzzyIzSick]

Maps i want so see back : Beaver Creek (Confirmed), The Pit, Narrows, Hang em High, Gaurdian, ORIGINAL Blood Gulch, and Construct.

[Juggernaut9473]

yay for going back and forth between graphics with just the touch of a button, im going to abuse that button

[VerbotenDonkey]

Now they're going to ruin one of the only good relics of Halo D=

Speaking of which, I would enjoy a remake of Relic. Or any of the Halo 2 Maps.

[Fiery Grave]

just want to point out my no flood comment was directed at halo 4... i put it in the wrong topic

they didn't touch the gameplay... i think it will work out well

[MedeDust]

Beaver Creek, Damnation, Boarding Action, Relic, Blood Gulch, Guardian, Heretic. :)

[Maxdoggy]

343i said themselves that bringing back Blood Gulch would be redundant. They are not bring back the original box canyon.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....oh, you're serious.

I'm sorry....what? I think I just heard the hearts of millions of halo fans dropping like plane shot out of the sky...by peanut shooters.

[Kuhblam]

Today will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of our hopes as Halo fans, and will soon see the end of 343.

[KillerGUNNY132]

Some of you guys are really negative towards the Halo remake and Halo 4.

First off, 343 has already said that they have not touched gameplay AT ALL. You'd know that if you'd do some research before posting. Second, for the people complaining about not having Blood Gulge remade, here's what I want you to do. Go on Reach, then custom game, and load up Hemorrhage. There ya go. The remake will not have multiplayer (with the exception of Co-Op), but it will have 7 new maps for Reach, which are all supposed to be remakes of some classics.

I personally am pretty excited and cant wait to play it.

Actually I believe most of the rage is pointed towards Halo 4.

All I'm seeing is pure exitement about CEA despite the sadness over the Original Blood Gulch not being reborn.

[Syfe]

You guys think we'll be able to keep this thread running strong and steady until Fall 2012?


I kid.



P.S. Seriously. Great coverage and debates. Keep the information friendly and flowing...

[Kuhblam]

no

Oh yes.

[Hazy]

Oh yes.

when I saw this on Spike, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLnWf1sQkjY) entered my mind

[KillerGUNNY132]

343 has announced a Pre-Order bonus for Halo:CE Anniversary.

http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/headline/special-halo-combat-evolved-anniversary-pre-order-bonuses/111729

One is an avatar item which I personally don't care to much about. But the second one is the "Grunt Funeral" Skull. Looks alot like Grunt Birthday party without the YAY and with an explosion.

There's also a gameplay video in the update. Looks ok from what I saw.

[Fiery Grave]

the skull sounds like the original Grunt birthday party, but exclusive to grunts

[Mythonian]

Sweet!

lol can't wait!

[Vestige]

Nerdgasam, NERDGASAM, ahhhh finished.

[Silko]

Sweet so now not only can I have my grunt birthday but I can eat my cake too :clap:

[Syfe]

...or Pie?

[Scarekro]

I was already gonna preorder it, but now I have an incentive. ^__^

[Silko]

[William 043 SII]

^^^^^^
this looks awesome, can't wait until I can play the campaign.

[Fiery Grave]

they need to add competitive multiplayer over live and this would be the single most played live game

[William 043 SII]

They will, It'll be Reach based but I think new maps and I like the part where you press a button and it's back to the old Halo : CE. :)

[Fuzzy]

Multiplayer is not included with Halo: CEA, they are giving us 7 multiplayer maps for Halo: Reach but no multiplayer. Keep in mind that they are retailing this game for only 40$.

Well lets hope it's 7 good maps and only $40 thats crazy, I thought it'd be a little bit more.

[Maxdoggy]

Halo Waypoint and 343industries have finalized the fact that the only maps that will be on the Halo: CEA disc will be the new ones.

Simply put, Halo: CEA will NOT be pulling a "Halo 3: ODST".

Some good news for you people without the DLC Maps for Reach, however....
Today is the last day where you can get all of the DLC for half the price!! http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/blog/halo-dlc-summer-sale/120621

[Mi Boys Dinner]

[d3ad1te]

So can you play those 7 maps off the CEA disk? Or do you have to DL them off the CEA disk and put in your Reach disk?

[Mi Boys Dinner]

What part of "I don't have any points" did you not understand? :(

[Puba]

i want to play it but i dont want to cause i love my old halo CE memories

[Sgt Catastrophe]

You don't want to? If you want to keep your old memories then just hit the back button while you're playing and you will go back to the old look of CE!

[Maxdoggy]

If for some reason you do not look at the homepage of the website (http://fcwars.net/forums/) and follow the @GamerDirt (https://twitter.com/#!/GamerDirt) Twitter feed, now is a great time to start. There is tons of Halo news from HaloFest at PAX being released right now!
