    FTZ's first Halo 2 challenge is now up:

    http://www.oranjive.com/fireteamzulu/?mode=viewgame&gameid=169

    This means I've finally added support for all Bungie-created Halo games.

    If anyone is watching the Microsoft keynote, they just showed a video of Halo: Anniversary
    the HD remake of the original Halo.

    I am super stoked for the updated Halo 1 maps (Damnation yesssss)
    Aside from that I think that the "updated" Mk. V armor in the campaign looks silly

    Halo 4 announced for holiday 2012 (as part of a trilogy), but it's still following the chief.

    Colour me cautiously optimistic.

    Fyre Tweeted this, but Halo CE Anniversary will have maps from the original AND Reach. It will act like ODST's Mythic did.

    Yes I did, and Willeth will be receiving the only copy of Halo 4 I will be buying.


    Also Frankie confirms that Halo: Anniversary will not be 60$ (we're assuming 40$)

    And you can also switch between OG graphics and remake graphics on the fly

    The remake looks so visually busy. I don't think they know what they're doing with that engine. However, I'd like it to be good, so can't wait for some gameplay footage.

    Also the halo 4 trailer was goofy as fuck, but that doesn't reflect on the game.

    I'm going to assume marty left with bungie?

    So a 10 second, zero context clip with zero gamplay and zero information about the actual game is enough to declare one is not going to buy it?

    That seems incredibly....yeah. I kind of expected better of folks around here.

    It's not like the game was a surprise. Anyone who didn't think Halo 4 was coming was insane. And obviously it was going to come from 343. Bungie has moved on. It doesn't mean the game will suck and it doesn't mean multiplayer will suck (in CE:A either really). It's not as if Bungie is the only company that made a good game or a good multiplayer game before.

    No, what's going to suck is them tying achievements to the maps but since they are multiplayer tying them to Reach, thus compelling me to get the game to grind the achievements to keep Reach at 100% completion.

    so question...
    IF Halo:CEA is like Mythic for Reach but with the classic campaign and maps... does that mean that there's going to be an "Evolved" map pack? Or is there going to be an "Evolved" playlist for those with the disc or limited to custom games only? Any speculation on this, since that's all we've got at moment.

    probably gonna get it's own playlist. it's funny because they put so much time into the forge world and re-doing the pieces for those maps and then they get 1-up'd with real remakes. whatever, forge world is still pretty awesome and impressive on it's own.
    i'm more pumped to play the remade game in co-op, looks like sex

    also really like cheif's lil back pack jets he musta stole them from issac clarke

    Unless they are redesigning the god awful identikit levels I don't see the point of just upgrading the graphics for Halo. After the first few missions the campaign becomes a pile of crap.

    Link whatever Frankie said, please. I'm really curious.

    I'm a bit disappointed that Halo CEA is just a graphical improvement of the original, instead off a Metroid Zero Mission-esque complete overhaul and modernization. I've played PC campaign mods more substantial than this. Still, it's also not going to play anything like Reach, and it's a budget game, so that's good.

    Halo 4 teaser looked cool too. Hopefully that game also doesn't play like Reach. Here's hoping!

    You see assassinations in that Halo:CEA trailer so I imagine some features of Reach carry over. Not sure about equipment/loadouts but...

    Actually thinking about it that assassination was during a multiplayer match so it would be in Reach's multiplayer so NEVERMIND

    Buying both, there I said it

    Yeah the jet pack couldn't possibly have been on the ship somewhere. It's incredibly obvious you were going to hate anything they were going to announce and now you're just fulfilling that with whatever weak critiques you can cobble together.

    Considering he went straight to the cryogenic tube at the end of H3 and wakes up in said tube during the trailer.... We can only assume when he woke up to take a piss he strapped the jet pack on before going back to bed.

    I still think it's retarded to get into this, but here are a couple of reasons, or, as most of you will undoubtedly take them, excuses that this shit makes sense:
    • That isn't the Jetpack from Reach, that is a small propulsions system that is helpful in Zero Gravity situations, which Cheif is obviously in.
    • Even if it is a fucking jetpack, who cares? The arbiter randomly lost his ability to stealth at the beginning of Halo 3 and we fucking got over it. Not to mention Johnson was brought back from the dead.


    Like I said before. The CG was a little rough (the game is still 18ish months out), but most of you are coming off as finding reasons to not like it just because it isn't bungie.
