https://thegamepost.com/leak-reveals-new-details-on-halo-combat-evolved-remake/>a developer who helped co-developed MCC is helping Halo Studios with the remake, particularly with programming and design. It’s not Certain Affinity.>sprint is included in the current build of the game>level redesigns are coming, specifically a rework of The Library to make it less repetitive>hybrid engine using a mix of UE5/Blam! similar to Oblivion remastered. UE5 will handle graphics and rendering while Blam! will handle underlying gameplay logic and world systems>a separate Halo multiplayer project is still in the works. It will potentially be a long-term live service title.
>>721832859Halo has been dead for like 15 years though?
Why, who would even want this?
>>721832859You're late, dipshit, a guy on Twitter, named techincalHalo, also known as big baby beluga, said it was going to be like this a year or two ago. Why are you Halo fans so retarded and have bad memory? Also, what is bad about this in a singleplayer-only game, you faggot?
>>721832859>sprint mechanicWhy would you guys be surprised by this inclusion? I'm sure the remake would also revamp the campaign levels. I wish they would just offer maps and gameplay options for both sprint and without sprint. This would literally fix a ton of issues with modern Halo. Campaign can have sprint. Multiplayer has maps made for both styles of gameplay. Maybe you get less overall maps but its for the best and would please both worlds. They can always also port their greatest hits maps like Lockout and Midship yet again. Which should not have sprint since these maps were not designed with it in mind. BTB though should be revamped to support sprint and maybe multiple objectives at once. Similar to Battlefront or Killzone.I'm one that thinks sprint in Halo is fine. Its more the other padded shit and forced cringe inclusions 343 did like those ugly ass forerunner and their nig nog insert with Locke among tons of other shit.
>"The Halo company" needs help making a Halo game???
>>721833580>Why would you guys be surprised by this inclusion?Halo fans are incredibly stupid, when Halo 5 was said to have it, they should have gave up on it. This is Halo's own fault for wanting to be a hybrid between a boomer and tactical shooter, now it must evolve like one. Only thing left to full fix it is bring back non-regenerative health permanently.
>>721832859why, on earth, is CE getting a remake in the first place
>>721832859>hybrid unreal engine 5 and blam engineSounds like a Frankenstein Nightmare come to life
30+ childless millenials will keep this pos alive for another decade.
>>721833729>Halofag retardation strikes again343 Industries is dead, Halo Studios only leads projects while third parties make them. I swear, I'm starting to think a lot of you Halofags got dropped on your heads when you were young. Every insiders were saying this was happening and even Microsoft said this was happening.
>hybrid enginesYou could do this in the past where you might have to grab someone's sound engine or graphical engine to put into your engine, but everything has everything these days.
>>721833770Millenial nostalgia
>>721833939there is practically no need when the MCC exists
>>721833770It's dated, lore between Halo CE-3 is a mess because Bungie kept retconning themselves each game, too much cut content between the trilogy, serves as a steppingstone for new Halo games going forward.
>>721832859Why would I want to play CE reimagined by jeets when I can just play Bungie's classic on MCC?
>>721834067>It's datedno its notyou just suck at it
>>721833986MCC is dead, only delusional idiots like you say otherwise.>>721833879I'm only doing it for the Master Chief singleplayers, I've been done with this series and the Xbox for years, honestly.
>>721833986Yeah but that was a remaster, not a remake
>>721834106Yes it is, it was dated when it released. I'm the developers actually realized that.
>>721834173>MCC is deadand?just because its "dead" doesnt mean you cant play CE>>721834241exactlydoesnt need a remake
>>721834282You want to go play Halo CE, go play it
>>721834265*glad
>>721833939I think it's more of Microsoft gave up on Xbots and now want Steam players, PlayStation players, and possibly Switch players to experience Halo. I think they really hate the Halo fanbase they created, I mean I don't blame them despite me not liking Microsoft.
>>721833770thiswhen halo ce vr with graphical mods existshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GUl9wMNgUc
>>721833739I'd have no issues if Halo went on to have sprint and the items mechanic like Halo 3. It shouldn't have ads either. Only zoom. They overthink this franchise too much.
>>721833879Mos Halo fans were normalfags actually that went on to have wives and children. I would know since many of my friends did just this.
>>721833739>halo5Actual halo fans stopped after 3
>>721834945Halo Infinite did a lot of good things for Halo's gameplay, wish it brought back the non-regenerative health like it was originally going to.
>>721835182True, I don't know what "those things" bitching about sprint are post-Halo 3. The real fans left when the trilogy was finished and completed and never really looked back.
Halo CE's indoor levels were almost universally trash. We don't need a remake, we need a complete series reboot more focused on outdoor combat with vehicles and a few actually good indoor sections. But 343 is incompetent even after they booted Bonnie out the door.
>>721832859>spends millions and half a decade on the Slipspace Engine>throw it away after one game and use UE5I still wonder what kind of dirt they must have on Phil to get trough with that.
>>721832859>dev who helped with the disaster that was MCC>unreal engine>another remakeWhy is microsoft so committed to flopmaxxing?
>>721833890>people you don't listen to nor care about said something
>>721834173This remake will also be dead, there's no point, Halo's time in the limelight is done, it's a dead series just like Gears of War, Syphon Filter, Spyro, Crackdown, Tomb Raider, etc. etc.
>>721832859Why does every game need a remake/remaster?
>>721834356tell that to people wanting a remake
>>721835572They only hire jeets and only for like half a year to avoid having to give them proper contracts. UE5 is probably the one thing every jeet can use and doesn't need time to learn it.
>>721832859>sprint is included in the current build of the game
>>721836548They already have a remake to play.
>>721836714thats exactly my point
>>721833770cash grab
>>721832859>hybrid unreal 5 and blamSo it's just CE: Anniversary again? But with shoe-horned Halo 4 mechanics? Why can't these motherfuckers make a new game?
>>721832859>unreal 5So its going to run like absolute garbage?
>>721832859>waste millions once again to make a shittier version of Halo: Combat EvolvedInsanity. How is this possible?
>>721836741Yeah I'm retarded and didn't read the earlier replies.
>>721836826Every time they try that it doesn't make enough money.
>>721837014>Every time they try that it doesn't make enough moneyCE is the worst selling Halo game behind 343i's games. If they want to nostalgia bait, they should probably try Halo 3.But nobody's even nostalgic about Halo anymore since these dog people ran it to the ground.
>>721832981>Halo has been dead for like 15 years though?BELIEVE.
>>721836934Hey it worked out for gears, they made bank off the 259k it sold on ps5.
>>721836934With jews and poos, you lose and giga lose!
>>721836826343i are at the point where they need to do a soft-reboot each new release to get everyone back on board. This time around they're just doing a hard-reboot instead
>>721837209They spent 50 grand on porting those games. 343i is actually paying people to make these assets and try to code all the new shit into the Halo CE engine.
Its gonna be funny when the second remake doesn't have splitscreen unlike the original and first remake.
>>721834836>shilling your gay channel on /v/grim
>>721832859>>721832981>Halo has been dead for like 15 years though?Halo fans have been coping hard since Halo 4
>>721837262>343i are at the point where they need to do a soft-reboot each new releaseAre you retarded or something? It's been that way since Halo 5. Every single project has been so mismanaged that the follow-up always has to try and reboot what the previous installment did.>>721837468Anyone who played 343i's shitty games and enjoyed them isn't a Halo fan. It's a Mass Effect fan in denial.
>>721835439This might as well be a reboot because there will be retcons.

>>721832859Halo CE doesn't need another remake/remaster.Modders already did it anyway, like Ruby's rebalanced mod.
>>721835829Dude, Matt Booty literally came out and said this.
>>721836040>This remake will also be deadThey're no longer targeting Xbots.
>sprintHoly fuck
>>721837540>This might as well be a reboot because there will be retcons.Halo was already a finished series. >Fall of Reach>Halo CE>First Strike>Ghosts of Onyx>Halo 2>Halo 3Reach was literally their swan song before they gave the keys to Frank O'Connor and Bonnie Ross.Halo: Cryptum was Frank O'Connor contracting Greg Bear to retcon the Halo lore established by Eric Nylund and Joseph Staten, to set up the Halo Sequel Trilogy.
>>721836548I don't want to play Combat Evolved though; I want to play Halo Combat REvolved
>>721837762And it'll still be dead.No one cares about Halo anymore, they fucked that up last gen.
>>721836714>>721836741>>721836961You're both retarded, I wanted this in 2011. I knew 343 were going to be a shitshow when all they could do was a crappy remaster. Halo's gameplay was dated, they should have changed it. Going from Reach to CE is a mess.
>>721837349>code all the new shit into the Halo CE engineI doubt programming a button that makes you move slightly faster is going to be a monumental task.>>721837696Halo doesn't have fans anymore so nobody knows who that is.
>>721837838>No one cares about Halo anymore, they fucked that up last gen.CoD4 destroyed Halo 3 (Halo 2 fixed edition)Black Ops destroyed Reach (Destiny Beta test)Black Ops 2 destroyed Halo 4 (CoD clone lol)Black Ops 3 destroyed Halo 5 (CoD clone lol)
>>721837968>I knew 343 were going to be a shitshow when all they could do was a crappy remaster. Halo's gameplay was dated, they should have changed it. Going from Reach to CE is a mess.343 didn't work on CEA. They outsourced it.343 outsourced CEA and H2A to Saber Interactive for FREE using the inferior PC ports as the base and Sean Cooper spent 5 years fixing the broken ports343 outsourced terminals in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary to Sequence343 outsourced Reach DLC maps (Defiant Map Pack/Anniversary Map Pack) and Halo 4 DLC maps to Max Hoberman and Certain Affinity (multiplayer, online, and UX design lead for Halo 2 and Halo 3)Halo 4 campaign just feels half-baked. It has sections that feel empty, lacking content. Removed point scoring. As a result, the timer was also removed(used for speed runs). You can't view the campaign terminals ingame; you must go to waypoint. Forge Island gives us ten times less budget than Forge World. Removed Race, Territories, Stockpile, Headhunter, and Juggernaut. “Infinity” gametypes include instant respawn, perk packages and customized loadouts (COD). "Legendary" gametypes fixed this.Halo 4 and part of Halo 5 are the only game 343i actually put together themselves with their in house studio, MCC and especially infinite has been nothing but wrangling contractors and contract studios. Infinite has something like 5 confirmed studios that worked on it. That is why their dev cycle takes so long and fucks shit up constantly(besides the technical debt). 343 is just an umbrella studio that directors other contract studios into making broken messes of games. Its why everything except Halo 4 is a broken retarded mess because Halo 4 was the only 343i title actually done in house and not through 20 corporate suit games of telephone and Zoom meetings343 has an OG Xbox emulator for Series X and CE and H2 still aren't on itMCC was outsourcedhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gpklokblI006QYtGlxUeds747lPZD_JSph56qLJqzhw
>>721837439that's not my gay channeli don't upload VR shit on youtube with shitty FOV and with the aspect ratio fucked that looks like was recorded with OBS
>>721837968It's crazy how shit Reach is
>>721837798That Halo was a finished series, current Halo never connected to, and the old 343 leadership thinking it did were retarded. When you have to jump through hoops just to explain your crappy retcons, then maybe it's just best to redo the series that way people can stop asking questions.
>>721837968>I wanted a remake with muddy graphics and frame stutters in 2011Thats cool.
>>721837838No one ever cared about Halo, it was a trend until something better came out.
Halo was never good.
>>721837987>Halo doesn't have fans anymore so nobody knows who that is.It never had fans
Halo CE:>We were already working with (Fall of Reach author) Eric Nylund, who came up with name John. But you weren’t going to run around getting called John in the game—that wasn’t going to fly. So, in thinking about other ways we could name him, Rob said, “Well, we could give him a rank.” I was like, okay, Sergeant then. But Rob said, “Well, he’s a marine, right? So it has to be a naval rank.”Halo 4:>I think we were driven a lot early on by where we wanted to take John’s (Master Chief’s) story. And we wanted to be able to tell a story over the next ten years. We wanted to map out what his hero’s journey looked like. We knew that’d take more than one game, and maybe more than just games to tell it. But if this is the start of the next big part of John’s arc, where does he need to go and where, more importantly, do we want him to end up?>Frankie wanted to retcon the Forerunner art style in CEA to match the new Forerunner novels
>>721832859>gaylo is now in unstraight troongine helllol
>>721838338>people who got halo tattoos weren't fans of halo it was a fashion statementI never knew.
>>721832859Is there any hope that MCC gets updated with at least a modded customs browser? I heard their was some sort of fallout between 343 and the Digsite Team?
>>721834796its more like xbots gave up on microkike, probably because they died while doing some retard dudebro nigger tier shit
>>721836934gaylo always sucked
>>721838691>probably because they died while doing some retard dudebro nigger tier shitThey definitely would've stuck around to play 343s shitty halo games and the women focused gears of war games if they didn't die.
Reminder to thank Max Hoberman.Bungie was going to drop 4v4 and BTB multiplayer as it existed in CE and Max Hoberman stepped in to advocate for those and had to save them, and since the rest of Bungie was so focused on fixing the iffy development of the campaign, they just let Max and like one other guy handle the multiplayer entirely and then rest of the studio never got around to making Warfare lmaoJason wanted a big 32-player mode, but after a year it was still just an idea on paper, because he was distracted deving everything but H2, (the more things change)Max Hoberman begged for resources and built “the party game” we now know as H2/H3/Reach multiplayer.>deltatemple (Cut version of Regret they had to cut a lot of geometry for performance)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLWEynZX3q0>Halo 2 Cut Levelshttps://www.halopedia.org/Cut_Halo_2_levels
>>721836934>removing the repetitiveness>shittier
>>721832859>quadrupling down on fucking sprintlmao
>>721837632>>Halo was originally going to be a Mac exclusive. Steve Jobs introduced the game at MacWorld 1999so it was always doomed to be gay shit from the very start, explains a lot
>>721833770they can't create
>>721833770To produce a prime starting point for PlayStation players when the remake launches on PS5. As blasphemous as that might sound to anyone who grew up during the 2000s who never thought the industry would move in such a way, that's the honest truth.
>>721833770What else are they supposed to do? They've proven multiple times they can't make a new Halo, so all they can do is rehash what was good before.
>>721839307They could've ported mcc and it would've sold a lot more than this ever will.
>>721838106>recording anything with anything other than obsnonwhite detected
>>721839046thank odin they did die though, so we can watch 343 die on the vine and microkike withdraw from larping as a videogame entity
>>721839081I'm so sad that it seems that Hoberman's MH clone that was rumored to be in development with Microsoft didn't pan out. It's nice that he's been able to keep the lights on at his studio working as a AAA support auxiliary studio, but I keep hoping that his studio would finally get to have it's big break and make something original on their own. Now his studio is just owned by Swedish private equity instead.
>SprintHow could they look at how successful Doom2016 and Eternal were without sprint and how unsuccessful Halo Infinite was then go>Yeah but we still need COD mechanics :3 You are a super soldier in power armor. Why would a super soldier in power armor need to lower their weapon to move slightly faster and why would they run out of breath after a few seconds of moving at max speed?
I would have no problem if sprint and mantle were already included in the older games. Soldiers in a firefight need to book it sometimes.
>>721840108>Why would a super soldier in power armor need to lower their weapon to move slightly faster and why would they run out of breath after a few seconds of moving at max speed?probably the same reason dinosaurs are bringing energy swords to a gunfight
>>721835570Phil is the one with dirt. He's been running Xbox into the ground for a decade yet they keep him around through multiple CEOs.
>>721840108Halo 1-3 are glacial as fuck, it's hard to compare them to nudoom just by virtue of lacking sprint
>>721840108Why would a super soldier in power armour be moving like the air is molasses?
>>721840328Nudoom isn't much faster than Halo, and never needed sprinting to have a fast pace.
>>721840471Nudoom is way faster than Halo 1-3.
>>721840509Not by much. Halo has always seemed so slow because the games had a 70 degree fov for a long time.
>>721840509Regardless, I think his point is that if M$ had any vision or could read the room at all whatsoever they would be trying to emulate what DOOM has done instead of every other CoD slop design philosophy, so that the series might actually get some new life and fill a niche that needs filling
>>721840686The movement speed is very apparent hopping from one to another alone, but the entire flow of nuDoom's combat is extremely frantic compared to Halo atop it. it's really no comparison.
>>721840747They don't have a vision at all. I think you should have learned that from Infinite, whose only realized vision was "an expansive cash shop with shit that was free in older games."
>>721838110fucking this. The book wasn't exactly a master class in writing but it was much better than the shitass plot of the game.The gameplay itself was dogshit and the covenant felt way different from the rest of the series.It's beloved by eternal summerfags that got online in 2009.
>>721840108My problem isn't sprint as a mechanic its how its implemented. Sprint is fine in Half Life 2 because it never stops you from shooting. Sprinting feels really pointless in Halo Infinite.
>>721840897Yeah I implied that in my post
>>721840914Sprinting should stop you from shooting that. That's literally the point of breaking into a sprint. You're not a stable firing platform anymore.
>sprintI don’t know why 343 want to die on this hill
>>721839440MCC couldn't even sell well on PC, people would play these games, see that Halo fans are retarded and the shitposting on the franchise would skyrocket. It's better to restart here over giving new players dated games.
>>721835182Reach was the best one though.
>>721832859Halo (and Xbox) has been dead for like 15 years.
>>721841519Well, I wouldn't know. I'm an actual Halo fan.
>>721832859>Halo:CE remake>sprint mechanicI hope someone firebombs 343 Studios.
>>721841519Reach is proof Bungie was a hack and the only reason Halo 1-3 was any good was because FASA had them on a short leash. Game mechanics that take you out of the 3 count punch-nade-melee combat flow are bad design.
>>721833739>hybrid between a boomerHalo was never boomer and "boomer shooter" isn't even a real genre you retarded faygo.
>>721832859>Halo: CE>sprintingthese hacks never learn.
>>721842443genres are a matter of public consensus and not real entities. enough people calling early (especially pre-polygon) FPS boomer shooters makes it a real genre. cope.
>>721835570It was never going to work out with M$ retarde contractors policy
>>721842443It was a hybrid, non-regenerative health, slower Quake-like gameplay, not as tanky as boomer shooters thus requiring you to not always go out and get shot too much. Two weapon limit.
>halo is deadyeah no shit
