@@goldenmajora3I really want that mega-war mode they originally had. Halo 3 is the closest bungie cpuld make it and 343 attempted it with warzone. If they just push the envelope I think we could all have the odst-drop-spartan lead wars we want to finally see

[@toneranimation]

One of the most grounded, great things about Halo:CE is that the Chief more or less went under the radar the entire game, the Covenant did not take him seriously, especially when the Flood turned up. So changing the story and making the Chief encounter the Prophet and upper hierarchy of the Covenant's command structure would fly in the face of that, so I'd prefer if they kept things accurate and focused on the original mission structure, reused levels and all. I would however like to see "First Strike" adapted, help bridge H1/2 and give us some quality time with Sgt Johnson.

[@GrimmWarrior19]

"I would however like to see "First Strike" adapted, help bridge H1/2 and give us some quality time with Sgt Johnson." YES, that entire book could have at least been another 2-3 part mission or game in its own right and arguably should have came right after Reach released to introduce core characters like Blue Team, maybe showing a flashback of what Chief was doing during the Fall of Reach while searching Halo's debris field. This here is a proper application of lore to build a new product, going back and showing players why a lot of off-screen characters are important to Chief, who they never see in games until much later. It helped expand on Cortana's abilities as an AI in-universe too and also brought the guerrilla elements a lot of newer aged players tend to like taking place in a Covenant space port city, Unyielding Hierophant really introduced fans to the huge scale of the Covenant's forces around the galaxy being an almost 17 miles long station.

[@bexagon6682]

First Strike would be an AWESOME video game adaptation. That story was made for a video game to tell

[@Ducks532]

“By the time I learned the demons intent… there was nothing I could do”

I feel odd for really not wanting this CE remake. I fully think that either spin-offs or Infinite multiplayer or campaign DLC should be looked at first instead. A little worried the story and canon may change as it's sort of perfect already.

[@cadenday1336]

Fr I don't understand how people are excited about this. 343 needs to focus all their resources on the next halo game first before making remakes.

[@bryancalzadilla]

Yep. Not like 343i will be able to top it, anyway.

[@majestic1294]

@@cadenday1336same - like when halo 5 came out people complained about the story - then halo infinite comes out their like wow it’s gone back to original graphics and the style of it / they should finish off the story - halo fans themselves don’t know what they want - that’s the problem - I don’t remotely care about art style I just want a fun game with lots of weaponen

[@cadenday1336]

@@majestic1294 halo infinite has made me realize how lucky we were to even have halo 5’s end product. Halo 5’s multiplayer actually HAD content. It had the most weapons of any halo game. It had a lot of the original game modes we had in previous games as well as some new and good additions such as break out (which was similar to cod’s gun fight, a lives based gamemode with a shotgun and pistol as staring weapons.) and it had warzone as well which was a unique and interesting twist on firefight and I’m not sure why neither of them didn’t come to halo infinite they were both great additions to the halo franchise. In Halo 5 you were ACTUALLY able to get all the armor without buying anything with the req system which the req system sucked but it was still better than 20 dollars for one armor set like in halo infinite. Halo 5 had assassinations and it had many different kinds of assassinations you could unlock which were all unique and cool finishers. I honestly think Halo 5 had one of the best infection game modes of all time. I would say the best halo infection is a toss up between halo 5 and the original halo reach infection (not the nerfed MCC Halo Reach Infection) It had a pretty decent custom games browser that people actually used unlike halo infinite where you’d be lucky if you even find anything on that custom games browser. Halo 5 by the end of its lifespan was actually a good game and this is coming from someone who was one of the people who shit talked the game. I’m so tired of these halo KZbinrs dick sucking Halo Infinite and pretending like it’s a good game and it’s at a good spot now. It’s a terrible excuse of a halo game and just a game in general. And now people are talking about a Halo CE remake and getting excited about it? How about we make an actually good new halo game first and then worry about making something like that. Halo doesn’t need a reboot, what it needs is a game that’s actually made with love and care, a game that 343 actually wants to make. Everytime I play halo infinite I can’t help but to think that 343 didn’t even want to make the game. If 343 doesn’t want to make a halo game then that’s fine. Give the franchise to a company who does. I hate being negative about Halo but fuck it’s exhausting being a halo fan. Almost embarrassing tbh. At least Call Of Duty fans get the same game every year. We can’t even get that.

[@ryan_1099]

I normally don't do this but I appreciate all of yous buttin in your thoughts. Also comin from a person who's enjoyed 343 content for the most part, I love Halo 4, right behind 3.

Halo CE:EC

[@jerrylim6722]

the only thing I truly want added to CE is literally a single extra "bonus" mission that just puts you in the POV of Srgt. Johnson while The Maw level is happening... where you're tasked with getting the fk off Installation 04 with a random assortment of straggling Marines before the giant space donut blows up.

[@3sgtecelica]

If it's the original game plus cut content, I'm all for it. If it's a complete remake with a different story, I'm not excited. Would rather them spend the time on a new story.

[@Kai-1138]

They aren’t Activision.

[@CAL2ski]

It’d be cool if there was different ways to get to the same goal in the CE Remake, making it possible to do parts of this alternate story. Like an optional mission to go kill the prophet, making the covies more aggressive though out the campaign, and making it so the Jungle on Guilty Spark could be glassed if they are more aggressive. I also like the idea of have a “golden path/ yellow brick road” to go through the game in the cannon way, but you can make your own personal choices to the events on the ring since the people you can kill end up dead at the end of the story anyways.

[@strider5795]

That’s a sick idea.

[@nocomment6421]

Bro Imagine the amount of marines that Support you depends on the % you safed the first and second Mission

[@FoeJred]

It's not all cut due to time constraints. A lot of it can also be due to the over all story, vision and gameplay. Personally I feel if it was cut, it was cut for good reason and should stay that way. If a scrapped idea is good enough it usually comes back in some form or shape in a future game.

[@nicholasshealy9040]

I can understand why some Halo fans don’t want these new story additions or changes to come with the hypothetical CE remake, but in all honesty it really would be a wasted opportunity if they weren’t included even if they’d turn out as optional side missions. Hell, going by what Mint says here the story structure wouldn’t change super drastically to the point it’d be a totally different story. Again, look at the DS and RE4 remakes. They made some changes, very noticeable, but they still had the relatively same story.

[@Krusteeeze]

I forget who posted it, but they basically were showing how 343 has a “no bungie” policy and they didn’t even want any help besides marketing. ( not by bungie but by the original people that were working on the game)

[@fredhollis3999]

I wonder if Bungie and Microsoft will work together and put all this in and for it be a re-release of the original and use the unreal engine 5 to do it all. Have a big halo event and called the anniversary edition of the original Halo combat evolved.

[@MiauFrito]

The footage in the background of the video is Project Lumoria, highly recommend it, Bungie-ish levels of quality for 3 or 4 levels (at least back when I played it, they might have more now) (it's on Halo Maps btw)

[@kymorel1453]

I wish 343 would at least finish master chiefs story before making a remake, his story has been going on for over 20 years

[@LordEmpyreal]

I'm just picturing the Warthog run in a Forerunner structure aesthetic, but maintaining all the same structural design shapes and it makes so much more sense. All the weird dips and ramps and elevated areas/platforms that make no realistic sense make way, way more sense if it's a Forerunner megastructures. Especially the chasm, you'd have been moving from one building to the next, potentially driving across a light bridge.

[@falloutfable1049]

I mean. The lava area makes perfect sense to me. Wouldn't the forerunners have fail safes built into the halos. I mean. Flood breach containment due to the covenant breaking in and unleashing it accidentally. ↓ Forerunner fail safes trip causing access routes to be blocked and slips space travel shut down from that installation and nearby forerunner outposts and ships in fear of the flood obtaining it along its way. Ultimately routing the flood to go back the way the covenant came in if the covenant wasn't able to beat the flood back. Well the intruders or enforcer's releases the flood. One intentionally. The other, potentially. The forerunners knew the potential of life reseeding the galaxy in their absence. While humanity and the covenant may evolve and interact beyond expectations or anticipation. As well as below expectations and anticipations. While the forerunners themselves just don't have the time in the face of danger to implement a solution for the flood. So they made a solution to give them that time. The halos. While shield worlds work like an Omni tool. Good for many applications. Usually not the best at any application. Besides being the best in the application of many applications. Hence. The difficulty with trying to define "what is a shield world exactly" Just depends. Earth. In the halo universe is an exo shield planet. Where the majority of shield planets retain their inhabitants behind a barrier such as a metal construct made encasing the inhabitants home world. And then eventually expanding to the surface. Cough cough the covenant. Humanity hade a exo shield world Wich has everything ancient human cataloged and Ready to be copied and made in real space. In the event of a complete catastrophe. And when humanity does grow enough. These storage of ancient human archetypes those obelisk things found in halo infinite containing the creatures the forerunners attempted to reinstate their position in the galaxy. I'd like to call them archetypes. Because that is what they are. Hence the glaring difficulty with humanity and how their civilization had to be treated in a unique manner to others. An archetype is a start for us. When we start getting stuck in one archetype or another. We get very defiant. Well with ourselves. Others can get caught in the crossfire. But ultimately it's the human body itself that goes. I don't know if I like being that predictable. Can we change that. Before proceeding to change it. Hence the precaution of the case we get aniliated. Is simply start from square one. While forerunners and the covenant are compatible. Humanity and the primordials are compatible. Hence the odd exchanges. While yes the majority of ancient humanity was integrated into the inner workings of forerunner society. With seldom few being on the surface level. The sand falling and revealing the ancient humans composed to make the archetypes current humanity was used to begin by the forerunners.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't really think we NEED more missions...maybe like an extra level and some exposition sure...but I'm more concerned about the sandbox

[@ludacrips76]

Ive been listening to the Halo audio books. They are all written very good and have very good character development and story telling. The games tell the story as good as they could, if they do a remake of CE and other games I'd love to see more cannon from the books put into it. Its criminal how bad the TV show is compared to the lore the video games and books have.

[@Maverick-mx3og]

I hope they have all the guns from all of the games up to this point

[@Variant-III]

I wonder how that would translate to the novel. At this point in time I wouldn't be surprised if they retcon or alter a good chunk of the original to retell the story with these potential changes in a remake.

[@connorslater3768]

Honestly with the guilty spark level it would of been nice to play as a marine or an elite before the glassing and play as master chief when the facility is glassed, that way we could of experienced both atmospheres.

[@HaasSpitta]

It will work and be great if 343 follows the original story and just implements the cut content exactly as is. (What Bungie originally intended for Halo CE) If they try to make a whole new story or anything that contradicts with Halo: CE, it will be a disaster.

[@GriffinDisy-ow2tj]

They could keep the story the same but we could have an option where you can play an extended cut on extras or something

[@Green-IV]

I think they should make a game that starts right where chief left off in CE; in a longsword after destroying 04. That segment of Halo is hands down the best. Not only does it fill the gap between 1 and 2 just by existing- but our boy chief goes back to REACH. Imagine after playing the first couple missions 1:1 to the book, finding Linda in her pod and linking up with johnson and the other few survivors in their pelican, boarding action on the cove vessel etc, then arriving on reach. Imagine we'd get the end of 04, the return to reach, the intro of the other surviving Spartans on Reach, then they flee and go blow up the Covenant battle station and cripple their fleet temporarily; in H2 Hood Even says "mHmMhm sOmeThinGs nOt rIghT thE flEet tHat dEstRoyeD reAch wAs 50 tImeS thIs sIZe" its ok hood was old he probably had Alzheimer's and forgot that chief was already busy clapping alien cheeks

[@Rainmanix]

Thanks for sharing I will go back to check waypoint again

[@anthony-s026]

This could work, and add to cannon w/o a major retcon. There were ministers at I04 and they are the same race as prophets and are basically a rank below the main 3. And the Autumn crew might not have enough intel to differentiate it from the big 3 we see in Halo 2. And everything else wouldn’t be too intrusive though I hope they keep it consistent with The Flood book and Raven as best they can otherwise (heck maybe the flood could get a rerelease with the new element weaved in).

I want a lore accurate halo game. U take 4 direct plasma shota and ur dead but u move fast as shit with bullet time and make plasma impacts do procedural environmental damage and gore damage. The books made the covenant feel less of a threat and more like an unstoppable force. THATS the kind of theme we need in these games going forward. Impossible odds with actual stakes

[@nickmarciano1629]

One of the few series where hard remastering an already remastered game might actually profit

[@triadicbus4908]

The Covenant wouldn't have glasses a Halo ring right? I know the Flood are dangerous but the Covenant viewed Halos as super sacred.

[@silasscott4687]

Ok straight away. I don't mind if they develop and flesh out the story. But I was reading those mission notes right at the start and it says the swamp in 343 guilty spark was glassed. Which means the covenant knew the flood were there instead off mistaking it for a weapons cache. Don't change that

[@boing615]

The other problem with glassing the map is the sense of doom is there from the start, something bad is here for that to happen. I think you lose the growing sense of unease that you get playing the retain version where that creeps up on you gradually.

I really don't think this is what they meant by including 'cut content'. Every game has cut content. Especially in regards to stories.

I've been saying this since the original announcement. The only way they can do a fully fledged remake is if they adhere closely to Bunjie's original ideas. HCE's & H2's original stories as full games the way they were originally intended could be so massive that we wouldn't even need another H3. If the *NEW* 343i can pull this off without MicroShaft stepping in/on everything, then Halo really can be on top of the world again. I have high expectations and little hope. I'm expecting it to fail. If it succeeds, this will be gaming development's greatest underdog story ever... Of all time.
