Am I the only one that was a bit miffed that they aren't creating a new engine for Halo 3?

Kinda feels like a cop out.. H1, H2 both new engines with high res textures... Halo 4 could easily be upped from 720 to 1080 and look incredible... but Halo 3 doesn't get the treatment?

Wonder why?

So they can release a proper halo 3 anniversary 10 years after initial release..

I'm blown away buy the package, and every multiplayer! The ad was a nice tie in as well.

Looking at the halo 2 anniversary multiplayer gameplay I'm a bit worried. I think the majority of multiplayer fans want faithful remakes but the weapons/ spartans/ sounds just looked the same as halo reach/ halo 4. Despite their reassurances of "exactly the same as 10years ago" I want to know the game plays the same/ time to kill/ mavity/ has the same feel as its older counterpart..

This, praying they do a Legendary edition to go alongside my H3 Helmet & Reach figurine set thing.

The optimized high-definition compilation includes four games for $59.99: Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4. The package will be all-inclusive, packing in every level, every multiplayer map (more than 100), every gameplay mode and every little bug or quirk as they originally shipped. Everything will run at 1080p resolution and at 60 frames per second. Dedicated servers will power the collection's multiplayer component. The game will offer 4,000 gamerscore, with redone achievements that are unique to the collection.

FML, I was all smug with my PS4 for Uncharted etc. And now this gets announced!? Looks like I'm buying an Xbone come November. Absolutely no way I can miss out on Halo 2 multiplayer, especially if they are leaving in the button combos. Completely smitten with that!

Woah, as they originally shipped? Does that mean before the plasma pistol nerf in Halo 2 multiplayer

As much I am excited to play them all again I'm pretty gutted that there seems to be no plans for Reach and ODST getting the same treatment. For me they were my favourite single player campaigns. Reach in particular, I absolutely loved that game and the ending was my favourite of any halo game.

What's the deal with multiplayer? 4 different mutliplayers? Better not be in halo 4 style! (halo COD edition)

Looking forward to this along with Halo 5 the year after.

This year is looking really good (and expensive) for gaming.

I would love for a 1080P 60FPS Reach, by far my fave HALO game. Played the MP to death on that, and the campaign was superb.

It would have been great to have the full timeline all on one disc.

All completely original including jump heights loads outs weapons behaviour character behaviour, also all maps available and it just loads whatever version that maps belongs too.

Hehe, no. Its post patch after the game breaking bugs were fixed. Read it somewhere yesterday, can't find link now.

So 4 campaigns and 4 different mutliplayers for 40quid? In. (I bet halo 4 online won't get played much tho!)

Yep, the E3 vid is up in full, they have a separate menu that lets you jump into all the maps lined up beside each other, its loads that engine then your into that multi player/ campaign.

MrJohnSherry · 10 Jun 2014 at 16:14

Never played any Halo after 2, so looking forward to this. Also, have never played any Halo online!

I am going to be so broke from September onwards, Sunset Overdrive, Fifa, Destiny, Evolve, Forza, Drive Club......ugh

Looking at the trailer Halo 2 is the only one getting officially xbox1 remastered so I'd guess it's likely that Halo2 could be the only one with multiplayer. It seems unlikely they'd want to break up the Multiplayer by including 4 different versions of it. Plus if Halo 2 is the only one getting upgraded multiplayer maps and graphics would you really want to play Halo 3 or 4 in their xbox 360 guise.

I'm still kind of lukewarm on the whole halo HD remaster and whether to get it cause I've played all the halo games single players to death and also own them all! It seems difficult the justify paying £50 just so I can play Halo 2 with upgraded graphics in multiplayer!
