Re: The point

In Response To: The point (snakegriffin) : You have missed it. The entire reason for releasing this is nostalgia and : preservation, not for a "new game". But it doesn't need preserving, nor do we need a shiney new layer of graphics for preservation; as said its available right now from the XBLM for your instant nostalgia hit. : If you want to play new : stuff, then by all means, keep playing Reach, and Halo 4 eventually. I : don't really think there's anything about HCEA that people should be : getting their panties all in a wad about. Really. Milking the franchise? It's a term that it is bandied about a : They're not "f-ing : up the canon", they're not f-ing up the gameplay, they're just giving : you a freshened-up experience. Freshened up to 2005 standards. They're 6 years late. : All the changes that RC talks about would have required a pretty : resource-intensive effort in terms of development. I would venture to bet : that many of them (AI for Mythic, There is no 'AI for mythic' by the way. The skulls in Halo all just modify existing parameters. : "player investment system", at : the very least), would require using the most current engine and a pretty : massive porting effort, which would simply not feel the same. Games, or software rather, isn't made as one monolithic whole. At least not half-decent ones. They're made in compartments of functionality. It's not unreasonable to expect that they could create some new hooks in the Halo 1 code to trigger the new code for credit earning and the like. : In the end, there are always some people who aren't going to be happy. I'll : be buying a copy for both of my systems for the good old days of LAN : partying and pwning my buddies on Prisoner. 3 shots, FTW. But you're not going to get that; the multiplayer is just a mappack for Halo: Reach and unless you want to destroy the balance completely then you're not going to get any 3 shots weapons. Unless those were two unrelated thoughts.... in which case I don't really remember Elites being that easy on any difficulty. Maybe I remember wrong.
