If anything needs to be done right, it's 343 guilty spark. That reveal, that dread, the environmental story telling, the moment my fun space super soldier hero game turned into a horror game... You can't mess that up. The Remaster messed it up with the lighting.

[@ThommyofThenn]

Where it's just you and your charming Grunt companion. He could climb into small spaces to open doors, offer amusing dialogue or even be a playable character in certain sections. The marines would be in groups and be a legitimate threat against your lighter shielding but you could use AC. The camo and your shields could run on the same power source so you can run while cloaked for a short time but you become more visible the longer you do it. Or you could divert power from shields for near total invisibility or sacrifice camo for temporarily stronger shields. You could sneak past marine snipers who give jackals a run for their money. Awesome idea and inspiring

[@vincentsavoretti2201]

That was funny when it was an occasionally referenced in-joke, and not something so overdone that it re-formatted the entire personality of the Elites, caused the Forerunners to speak like Redditors, and spawned those God-awful forced H5 grunt ads.

That, or direct mirrors of earlier levels, therefore I don't accept the criticisms generally leveled at the Library. I find it vindicating to finally see a few other people starting to understand this after many years. As I only play on Legendary,I view Library as the game testing you to make sure you're really understanding how to deal with the Flood, it is a crucible, a refiner's fire.

Back in the good old days i had hoped that the potential Halo film/series we were supposed to get shouldve been basically an adaptation of The Flood. Importantly it shouldve shown how badly the UNSC get thrashed by the covenant, always on the back foot, always getting out classed. But when the Chief was around show how much he kicks arse and put them on the offensive. It woulda been so impactful imo to demonstrate just how important the Spartans were to humanity

[@ThommyofThenn]

These are perilous times for Halo. I appreciate you taking the time to reflect before uploading. Ive come to highly respect your insight and the discussion on this channel, so this will be very interesting to watch and read comments on.

[@LilSleepDoctor]

A good way they could expand on the guilty spark level is when chief gets to that room and looks at that recording instead of watching a cutscene you are transported into the body of the marine holding the camera and you see it through a sort of analog horror perspective as you explore the forerunner structure it adds a short horror section to show what a flood horror game could look like. when the flood jumps your group in the room you drop the camera and make a run for it whilst hearing the people you were with get eaten alive behind you. You are in a struggle for survival as you make your way through the facility you eventually collapse and act like your dead with the game detecting your mic audio if they want to do that. You survive but with the all that you went through your character starts going crazy and runs into the corner where he screams at chief mistaking him for one of the flood giving a little backstory to that paranoid guy saying "STAY BACK YOUR NOT TURNING ME INTO ONE OF THOSE THINGS" before cutting back to chief. Also that's a nice setup you got their.

[@sophiawittmann-b7d]

a split campaign like 2 would be amazing. perspectives of the master chief, a Johnson sub plot, and an elite subplot or even just a mission where you play as half jaw

[@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu]

[@Greyscale11]

Forerunners have to be human. That shouldn't be changed to fit the failed retcons of the 343 installments.

[@inductivegrunt94]

Maybe they'll fix the size inconsistency in The Maw Warthog Run to make it more accurate to the ship size. And remove that silly thin narrow bridge that somehow holds both sides of the Autumn together. I'm kinda skeptical about this, but as it's promised to add stuff like cut content to build off of the OG CE I'm kinda hopeful about it. I just hope they get the feel of the original right as the CE remaster was not the best in of lightning and use of the Reach models on the original CE models.

[@Arander92]

They better not change ANY of that stuff. Maybe it is dumb, but it’s what was in the OG game and that needs to be respected

[@rignatetris4435]

[@enclavehardin586]

Halo 1 doesn’t need a remake or remastered. Let’s get a halo 3 remastered. Or if 343 really wants to make halo fans happy. Make halo 6 or 7 whatever they’re going to call it. Make that game properly made with playable elites with split screen. As well have everything in it on day 1. No selling store just good old school. You play and earn the armors and skins.

[@kOruphoria]

[@animalhalo5984]

I would love to see a Jenkins appearance. Chief arrives at Alpha base. A small sqyad of marines are standing around Jenkins, tied up and thrashing around while also screaming or saying “no no please no”. They demonstrate that the flood are almost unkillable on him, really just abusing him but showing that he can respond to his name or something. And then later on you hear about the ONI plot to take Jenkins to Earth or somewhere for study. Then later on in a mission, you see the ship taking off, and it just explodes out of nowhere sort of giving the audience a heartfelt painful moment

[@travisjackson3076]

Man those spinoff game ideas are absolute gold! Why can't we have diehard Halo fans making Halo games??

[@lbzen]

They might remake a few if not all the games in the new engine. All games remade on one engine would make an environment with an exceptional sandbox for custom content. Reworking the engine between games definitely took up most of the development budget

[@halopro058]

Halo The Cole Protocol book, would make a killer game as well.

[@LewpyDrewpy714]

A Halsey game? Your outro was respectful. Thank you for being a good Installation. Easy. One thing I've noticed with Halo and rumors. Depending on where or how deep the person that starts the rumor is, tells us the likelihood of said rumor to be true. To a certain degree. Normal. Crossing over to the PS is not a freaking problem that techs/code entry personal make it out to be. At least not in 2024. As for a few decades ago? Totally a pain. Halo Reach would have been a good time to crossover to the PS. Heroic. The Unreal Engine. John did say, "I need a weapon!" The Unreal Engine is a phenomenal foundation to create John's asked for weapon. For that matter, I feel the Unreal Engine is a fantastic weapon for creators. Bonus. That's one way of making cross play even easier. And the same can be said about code manipulating. Legendary. Any new or remake Halo game needs three things. One: The capability to own a hard copy. Live Services Only, has way to many variables. We don't own the game. We barely pay for the right to play the game. If you don't have Internet. Can't afford it or don't want internet. Companies are really losing money and losing the ability to rake in new players to gaming in general for this decision. Live services. The unfortunate truth of losing all progression on your gaming profile. One of the worst thing to do to a gamer. Two: Have sandbox available on release. It's practically the same dev tools they use to create the game. Most of the code for sandbox is already in the code for the game. More or less. Three: Skulls. Let us scoure the map to find them. That was half the fun of skulls. Finding them. Then helping others find them too. Mythic/LASO. A remake of C.E. at this point should really incorporate other viewpoints with their own game play. Like the Arbitor, Val Korrian, san-spigettii, the squid lips dude in that crappy old armor in Halo 2. Playing as him as he gets wrecked in Halo C.E. by S117, Johnson, Keyes, Flood, and the like. Love you Arbs. I wonder if Sangheili taste like pork or beef? We know the Kig-Yar taste like chicken. The Jirals? I'm thinking bear or buffalo. Mgalekgolo? Meal worms. So some fast foods cheeseburger. Unggoy? Since they be huffing meth. I'm thinking blow fish levels of culinary accuteness. I couldn't eat them. To freakishly cute. The others? I got some Memphis dry rub and sweet baby Rays BBQ sauce. Custom game.

[@davidcarroll8687]

If they add the events of First Strike that would be *french kiss*

[@emperortethysusdacertified8175]

Based on the information we have gotten via these rumors. I strongly believe this remake is 343's current focus rather than Halo 7. Why do I believe this, one may ask? It's simple really. _The jump to UE5._ We all know the next Halo game will be made using the UE5 engine, there is no doubt about that. If 343 were to be focusing on Halo 7, that means they'd have to simultaneously learn using a new engine and how to make Halo feel like Halo in it while *also* dealing with the challenges that come with making a completely new game with its own gameplay elements like what Infinite was, while also needing to serve as a follow up to what that game had set down. A remake of CE made in UE5, on the other hand, would be a much easier task to handle. The core blueprints are already there, from story to maps to enemy encounters and such, and it's all just a matter of taking that blueprint and building something with it in UE5. Still a monumental task, but one far easier than building something completely from scratch. If we wanna believe what TechnicalHalo has said, it also seems like 343 is entirely focused on remaking CE's (and later 2 and 3's) campaign/s with this project, with a multi-player experience instead being the focus of Creative Assembly in the form whatever was spawned from the scrapped Tatanka gamemode they were originally working on for Infinite. So this will be a game made specifically for the campaign enjoyers out there, though I wouldn't be surprised if it had some level of multi-player regardless. But in short, this potential Halo CE/original trilogy campaigns remake looks to be 343's testbed for making Halo play and feel like Halo within the UE5 engine, which will serve as the foundation for Halo 7. With this project 343 is focused entirely on remaking the campaign/s, while Creative Assembly's project will be the next multi-player Halo experience instead.

[@kewlbot]

i just want the story to be enhanced, make the emotional scenes more emotional, make the horror scenes more horrific, that sort of thing. but most importantly keep the opening tutorial

[@williaml5223]

The only way this would really get me interested would be if they kept things basically similar but: 1. Expanded enemy counts, larger open vehicle sections with larger armies - give the battles on Halo a larger scope and scale 2. Add in cut weapons and some more sandbox items 3. Updated graphics but honouring the tone of the original

[@Jon0387]

I agree with everything you said, especially with bringing in cut content and adapting novel content into levels. I love to start this game on Reach and end it with the First Strike Mission. One suggestion, leave PvP multiplayer modes to Halo 7. Have this team that makes the remake be completely dedicated to making the best campaign they can.

[@willisrose9756]

This video on Halo: CE getting Remade reminds me of this guy called Lextorias who made a video on what he define re-releases of video games by the terms that actually describe them and not the terms that Publishers use to sell them. It has helped me understand the difference between the terms of game releases better.

[@remarkablezeal9568]

A cold open with the end of the Reach evacuation giving new players a bit of understanding for Cortana and her importance would be a great way to introduce her character in the remake. That way players have a personal connection to her before Chief is handed her chip by Keyes. I think that Halo 1's later half should be redeveloped with new level design while keeping the overall structure of the story. Fixing the development woes of the original game is exactly what a full remake can provide compared to Halo CE: Anniversary.

[@Maces006]

I would certainly have the same concerns about a remake that it could ruin what made CE such an iconic game. At the same time there is potential for the remake to flesh out and improve upon the story and gameplay that the original provided. Certainly with regards to the CEA we already have, one of my biggest issues with it was the textures not correctly matching the terrains of the original. A remake from the ground up could fix a lot of those issues by not relying on the original game being the underlying base.

[@the_chav]

Great video 00! Would you ever do a collaborarion with the The Act Man about Halo?

[@Installation00]

Always open to a collab with basically anyone!

[@simenneverdahl]

The prologue of Halo CE is already a perfect start to the game's narrative. Master Chief (you, the player) waking up from the cryo-pod, meeting AI Cortana for the first time, and the subsequent crash landing on the ring world serve as a gripping hook that immediately immerses players in the universe. This should not be changed. It's fine to mention The Fall of Reach, but it shouldn't be included in the main narrative. The primary focus in Halo CE is the ring world Halo and its mysteries. In my honest opinion, if a remake is really happening, the narrative should remain simple and not be overly complicated. New players aren't going to care about the vast lore that us long-time fans know. Keep it enigmatic and mysterious like the original, and don't reveal too much. EDIT: Also, if you don't start the game with Master Chief waking up from the cryo-pod, it would ruin the bookending effect with Halo 3, where he ends by getting into the cryo-pod.

[@rm25088]

That being said, I am not overwhelming negative on 343 doing this, though. Especially in the story department, it genuinely requires more effort to screw it up than to not. As for gameplay, Infinite's works fine, just remove sprint, slide, clamber, and ADS.

You have a gained a new subscriber and I look forward to your new videos.

[@bigdaddynero]

There is secondary evidence suggesting that 343i is solely focusing on a remake as opposed to a "Halo 7" title. We have a resurgence of, essentially, the need to remake original games so that new players can be on-boarded with the IP. The recent Xbox showcase revealed two games, Gears of War E-Day and Doom: The Dark Ages, that are both prequels and were under the eyes of Microsoft since before their development began. Then we have confirmed Microsoft directives to expand their exclusive IPs onto other platforms. With these pieces of secondary evidence, I think the odds of 343i developing a full remake of CE, for other platforms AND for new players, is especially likely.

[@ToxicBalloon360]

I should preface this by saying that I want 343 to have nothing to do with this rumoured remake as I have zero faith in their intentions or ability to create something of quality. Having said that, I'm not opposed to the idea of a CE Remake in of itself. In fact, I do think a remake could be fantastic under ideal circumstances, and would need to satisfy the following: Gameplay: Halo's identity is defined by many aspects and one of them is the core movement mechanics. OG Halo's gameplay could be defined as a quasi-arena shooter style which was abandoned by later games under 343's development. Their addition movement mechanics are similar to those you see in military simulation shooters and other similar games. The remake should honour the aforementioned arena shooter style of gameplay and perhaps double down on it: While I think CE's base movement speed was just fine, I wouldn't mind if a small increase to it was implemented so that it more so resembles proper arena shooters like Quake and DOOM in gameplay rather than the military sim route the franchise has unfortunately followed. I am partial to the clambering mechanic though. And I wouldn't mind if Halo 3/Infinite style equipment are also included to spice up the gameplay a bit. Of course, things such as fall damage should be adjusted and vehicles being able to splatter you with a single tap also needs to be fixed. As does being able to one-shot Hunters with the pistol or sniper. Art style: I don't think anything that isn't obvious needs to be said here. Music: Ditto. Narrative: I think the remake would be the perfect opportunity to meld the Flood novel with CE. CE's narrative can, by modern standards at least, seem quite disjointed at times when it comes to transitioning from one mission to another. The Flood fills in the gaps between each mission by going into Chief's activities between missions which I think can be perfectly conveyed via additional cutscenes. Furthermore, the activities of the other marines and ODSTs on the ring can also be conveyed either through cutscenes or radio dialogue, or lore-collectibles. A POV of Thel Vadam and other stories taking place at the same time could also be neat DLC ideas. And also: RESPECT BUNGIE'S ORIGINAL VISION WHEN IT COMES TO THE FORERUNNERS. Forerunners are humans, and this was all but confirmed during Bungie's era. Their retconning into a different species was among 343's most egregious offences when they took over this franchise. So please keep all mentions of Prometheans, details from the Forerunner trilogy, Ancient Humanity, Precursors and that horrible origin story of Guilty Spark being a former human OUT of the narrative. Please and thank you. Mission design: I think there is potential here to address the complaint of the repetitiveness of some of CE's levels, namely when it comes to the copy-pasted indoor environments of Assault on the Control Room and The Library for example. CE had some very expansive outdoor sections for the time and further expanding those areas, such as in the missions Halo, AOTCR and Silent Cartographer with the benefit of modern technology is very possible I believe. TLDR: Keep gameplay the same, respect art style and music, meld CE with the Flood novel for a more fleshed out narrative, respect Bungie's original intentions when it came to lore, and fix some of the issues people had with regards to level design.

[@Jarsia]

An expanded CE campaign would be welcome. Incorporating events from the book would be a nice addition. A problem I foresee is voice over work. If it were the same levels and story with improved level design and gameplay, the voices could be lifted from the original, but if they go the route of rerecording everything, or worse yet having new and old dialogue mixed, it's going to be jarring. Steve Downes sounds considerably older than in 2001. Jen Taylor could probably get away with it. Keyes' role probably wouldn't require new lines. Unless they can de-age the voices with AI or something, there might be a limit on how much new content can be added without creating real problems. But, if nothing else, I'd say the repetition of the original needs to be avoided. Even if it's the same levels, the Library needs a LOT more variety. I'd also change the indoor segments of AotCR to not just recycle the same rooms and corridors over and over. Some interesting things could be done with the flood containment facility, and 2 betrayals could be a completely new level. Imagine AotCR is a battle toward the control room, and 2B starts obviously at the end of the last level, but it takes you into a completely different set of canyons and tunnels. Same mission, but not a recycled map.

Competition keeps prices competitive though, with xbox out of the picture (play stations only real competitor); that means that PS doesn’t have to keep their prices on par which is scary in itself.

If you wanted to play through the additional story notes (Circumference, Alpha Base, Johnson's Escape; perhaps even First Strike) I would recommend a "nested" menu approach. Have the Linear "Chief" Campaign, and after you clear a level an appropriate side mission(s) are then available. Definitely no levels playing as Chief out of suit, though. That's a line too far for me.

Cut content, a consistent art style, and consistent (Halo 3 style) gameplay but it would have to be faithful to the originals in every aspect. The art style, music, gameplay, VOICE ACTING! If any aspect of it were misdone, it would absolutely ruin the entire thing.

Ps skum accessing the glory of halo is equal to the release of a flood spore It will spread consume and corrupt all leaving nothing but a blight land It must b quelled with the utmost resolve Less we lose everything

[@lgd6619]

I would love a remake so long as they dont fall into the we can write this better trap that alot of reboots or remakes suffer from

[@yungo1rst]

I would like to see the cut missions and areas implemented into the game.

[@3mpt7]

Look, the only thing I would be looking forward to in a Halo CE Remake is a game in which Jacob Keyes, Foehammer, Sergeant Johnson, and the Bumblebee pilot survive. A Halo 2 Remake would require the Master Chief not leaving Cortana, or the marines behind. In the original plan for Halo Wars 2, by Ensemble Studios, Sergeant Forge was going to be alive. You can't Game of Thrones a story without a LOT of characters built up to kill off, and even then, as seen with the Game of Thrones books, the writer wrote themselves into a corner, and had to start resurrecting characters.

[@jamesbrockis5182]

Much like guilty spark. 343 Industries has gone rampant.

[@Velganice]

Concerning what you'd like to see in a remake, from the first word you already expected way too much from 343, if they would be the ones making it.

[@ZillennialJ]

Everything you said is great, except for one thing. Having a level where Master Chief does not have his armor will be a problem if you were playing cooperative because how are you going to hide his face if you were teammate and see it? Also, after watching the show, the idea of seeing him again without armor is just not right.

[@Gat720Dua]

I've been saying there should be a CE remake for a long time so when I heard the rumors, I got to admit, I got excited. I should take it with a grain of salt but I want it to be real so badly.

[@RyuichiNoGekido]

I just hope it's a good retrofitting of CE to accommodate the lore expanded upon in the sequels and books that for various linear time related reasons couldn't have made it into the OG Halo. I just hope it's good, good character moments, hints of future events (rampancy) that help make sense even before Halo 2 starts. Maybe brain scan AI combined with Reach Latchkey thingy makes AI that lasts 8 years EVEN WITH logic plague because some librarian shit. Make Cortana in Guardians make more sense in retrospect if possible. Librarian latchkey thingy? Halsey? Logic Plague? I'm just rambling. A smoother transition from the Reach book and game concisely and canonically explained would be nice though.

[@RyuichiNoGekido]

Watching more into the video, I see the ambiance of the original levels as a character in and of themselves. I hope that the character of the level AO is well represented. Good character moments.

[@RyuichiNoGekido]

There is no room for Mjölnir-less John Halo in CE. His helmet reveals another helmet.

[@adamhalsall4981]

Hello Installation 00. You are a very good communicator. Great work. Do you think there is a realistic chance a Halo remake could swap out blue team for silver team if this remake is to be a thing? (negative connotation)

[@MistakenMedia087]

Oh man, could you imagine playing through first strike? That would be such a banger, tie halo 1 into 2, and just absolutely crush remaking halo. I'm not that big of a fan of a remake, especially if it slows down development of continuation of the halo series. However, secondary studios further fleshing out the books into games, could be absolutely awesome!

[@amdkillaplays]

I have no problem with Halo going across to Playstation, it means more people get to enjoy the franchise we've loved for decades. What I'm not particularly keen on is new Halo content as part of the remake that would be unavailable on Xbox or PC. But there is every chance that they will release it across all platforms, it's just that PlayStation is the major headline.

[@disaster_chief]

Imagine a level where the Covenant attack Alpha Base while Chief's having a shower, then butt-naked and dripping wet, he tackles an Elite to the ground. I can't be the only one who wants to see that, right? ... right?

[@LKNear]

This is the perfect chance for new management at 343 to show us they got what it takes and they understand Halo, after all they already screwed up CE once with CEA if they cant get it right this time it's not gonna look good for them. There's so much potential on a CE remake but also so much that can be screwed over, all we can do is wait and see

[@jonny45k44]

We could also get missions from The Arbiters perspective before he actually became to Arbiter

[@PackHunter117]

*For me CEA design for the Covenant and UNSC makes sense since they just came from Reach. The environments are a hit or miss however*

[@shanemoritz4607]

I feel like remaking Halo CE is moot. We had the anniversary in 2011 which wasn't the beset, but lets focus on the future of the franchise.

[@JiamLinks-kk2mx]

Remake ce-3 with features like sprint, though without slide, then reboot from halo 4

[@hylianglitchmobber7570]

As a lore nerd I trust your knowledge on all things Halo lore related implicitly. As a Halo tv show defender, I don't exactly trust your opinion on "the right way to do a CE remake"

[@Misfit710]

After getting an idea of what others have said on this so far your take is really the only one I’m taking seriously. Others just had “Halo crybaby” vibes to it. That was my takeaway at least. I also appreciate you not taking an armchair developer approach like others in the community already have. I think updated graphics and adding more than CE and CEA did in a complete package would be enough for me as long as it feels like Halo. I see no reason to think it won’t feel like a Halo game

[@thurmanmerman6173]

My biggest callback would be the desire to explore and discover. That requires a feeling of isolation, some solid sound design that blends foreign with familiar, and above all, a 1st person limited narrative (almost as if it's an FPS, weird, huh?) as the leading means of telling the story, not flaunting everything in cutscenes and cinematics. Games like this shouldn't be ANYTHING like a movie. Too many forms of media keep trying to validate themselves by imitating them. It gets old when dramatic irony pulls you out of the game constantly. There's also too much of these buzzword "together" stories leaking into it I know that some of the 1st game's strengths came from limitations at the time, but why not return to some of them if they worked?

[@JuanLeon-oe6xe]

"Explore and discover", on a linear, mostly hallway and corridor based game (yes, the word based has a context outside of child molesters communicating to others of its kin, ain't that wacky?). What Not that you're wrong per se... But this sounds dangerously close to the same propaganda that killed JRPGs... and eventually gaming as a whole.

[@dawsonbateman2414]

This game has the potential to be really really good, or really detrimental to the Halo franchise. 343 needs to make an expansion remake (like you said), not a reboot. They been talking about a hard reboot for a while, that would be one of the greatest blunders, not only from a gaming perspective but also a business one. They really missed an opportunity with the show, instead of making a whole new (terrible) thing, they could have: advertised a new squad of marines, ODSTs, or Spartans then have games with that squad. Side note: one idea is to expand on the squad machnic from Halo Reach

[@HuskySansVergogne]

[@joshfoustcommunity8928]

we don’t need another naked chief situation, and we seriously don’t need a longer library section, I appreciate what the library was, and that’s all we need, if you make the library longer, it’s going to start breaking some discs!

[@Installation00]

I don't know. My idea in my Infinite DLC series for what the Library could be expanded into, I think, was a pretty cool idea. 😎

[@AlindBack]

A bigger team =/= a better game. Splitting the studio is not inherently bad. Game creation isn't like an assembly line, it's more like cooking a meal. More cooks usually makes a worse meal. Sure, you can feed more people, perhaps make more varied dishes, but you're going to spill some milk and serve sweet with salty. Whatever failings you might think Halo Infinite had, too large of a team is just as likely to have been a cause of those failings as any other reason.

[@animalhalo5984]

And they adding cut content? We'd get to fight the drinol, slugman, and elite master in an official halo game. Also, please fix the hunters. I can't have them dying to one shot of a pistol.

[@dgalloway107]

At this point id be happy with nothing happening. When it comes to Halo, the only good news is no news.

[@shocktrooper3335]

Only if the orignal team works on it

[@S0L12D3]

I have to say I disagree with 2 of the things you said 1: “it’s a bad idea to split two teams in the new projects instead of having one big team” The teams that are working on the upcoming releases are not the same team responsible for infinite so I don’t agree with that logic. If anything I’m actually quite happy that 343 is being ambitious! 2: “Xbox is done being a console company” I’m not so sure about this. The Xbox series X outclasses the PS5 and it offers features like “quick resume” that the ps5 does not. I wouldn’t go so far as to say they are done being a console brand. If anything PlayStation has been far more successful in developing flagship game titles! At least recently

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

Series X may outdo PS5 in performance, but the quick resume feature just sucks in my experience. It almost always causes games to bug out in some way (usually menus not working and the game crashing), so it ultimately takes longer.

[@S0L12D3]

@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem I’ve never had that issue with mine. Quick resume works seamlessly in my console
