Behind the Scenes with Halo CE: Anniversary

Behind the Scenes with Halo CE: Anniversary

How it works, how it's the same and how it's changed

Written by osubluejacket on 17 October 11 at 20:00

Halo is an inexorable part of Xbox culture. You may love it or hate it, but there's no denying its importance and impact. With the ten year anniversary of Halo: Combat Evolved upon us and the release of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition a few, short weeks away, the designers at 343 are continuing to slowly pull back the curtain on their HD remake, showing off the new shine and polish they've put on the progenitor of modern, console FPS games.



Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition is set for a November 15th release.

Absolutely cannot wait for this. Don't care about the Kinect portion, but props for them incorporating it in the game for those who enjoy the Kinect add ons.

I think this looks amazing. I'm a pretty big fan of the analyze feature, it'll be cool to use while I'm playing imo.

I keep forgetting that this is only going to cost $40, which makes it that much more of Day 1 buy. The graphics look like they've been done really well, the audio upgrades are fantastic, and the incorporation of co-op over XBL, terminals and completely new skulls will make the gameplay that much more fun/frustrating.

Looks really good, will definitely ask for this for Christmas, or failing that, buy it myself, especially if it's only going to cost £30.
Feel free to PM me about the GTA IV walkthrough, or any problems you're having with the game.

However they are considering remaking halo 2 if they get enough fan requests.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was released after Halo 4.
Hmmm if thats the case probably 2014 would be appropriate for it.
