Meh. Pointless. That engine isn't particularly great. Not for remaking at least.

I thought Microsoft was against HD remakes...

I support this. 

I am not a fan of this idea.

Why not put Halo 1 and 2 on the Games on Demand service with updated multiplayer, instead?

" Meh. Pointless. That engine isn't particularly great. Not for remaking at least. "

do want. i will pay 60 for an hd halo 1. fuck haters

I like this.

I'd buy it.

I would buy this day one if it happened.

I think they should instead figure out a way to make it possible to play ranked matches on Halo games without having to download the DLC packs.  Really was hoping Reach would play out differently, but it hasn't.  In turn, I've got little interest in Halo anything right now.

haters gonna hate.  This is a great idea if it's done well.  I still consider Halo: Combat Evolved the best in the franchise.  both single player and multiplayer.   Maybe that's just nostalgia talking, but I'm sure i'm not the only person that would pay retail for this remake.

To me it depends on what 343 is really capable of.  I'd rather have a well made Halo 1 remake than a shitty Halo entry.

i hope its just a rumor

eh.. didn't really need a remake the original still looks decent by today's standards.

Can they re-make Marathon instead? I never got to play that :(

well, they gotta put out something while figuring out what to do with the franchise.

Wait, so does this just mean upping the pixelcount or whatever, or would they straight up recreate Halo, but now with Reach's graphics? That might be cool. I dunno how much the graphics have aged, it's been years since I played it (which probably answers my question).

Haters gonna hate. I'd buy this.

Not the 343 project I was expecting, I was ready for Master Chief: Adventures.

Well made?
Fairly priced?
Why not?

If it's got unlimited grenades, that pistol, and online play, I'll buy it. 

I actually like the Halo CE engine the most in the series. It's the only Halo where I can cover the walls and ceiling of a room with purple blood in one massive grenade chain reaction.

I'm buying it. I've been inching closer and closer to the games on demand version, but with this announcement I will happily wait until late 2011. 

I want

My logical being finds this pointless.
 
My inner Halo: Combat Evolved fanboy would be excited.

I had this idea months ago.

This.   It's not like it's begging for a remake either. It would still play the same essentially. There's no real benefit to it being remade. "

Nice detective work there! 
 
ohh wait... 
 
I'll admit, it took about 6 hours longer then what I thought it would take.  
 
Anyways...to put my 2 cents in...I think it's total bogus as I think MS would want to advance the story not re-tell it. Unless it's a side project and Halo CE is only getting an HD version a-la God of War Collection. 

Seems like a good way to get the definitive Halo experience for newcomers. It's the original plot without the convolution, with smooth next-gen controls and graphics.

I want this,  
 
Unfortunately for everyone of the internet royalty who look down on the halo franchise as some plebeian wretch stealing glory from those they deem it's better, Halo is a great game and will hopefully get this done. If not in the next couple years then down the line.

IF this rumour is true, then I have nothing against them remaking it. It couldn't take up that much effort - they're just making it HD, it's not like they're rebuilding the entire game from scratch. Like how they made Perfect Dark into a HD game, they could just remake some textures to boost the resolution. It's not easy, but it's also not the most difficult thing in the world to do, well, for a studio that is.  
 
Sure, if they want to do it, let em. It's not going to cause much of a problem for anyone who doesn't want to buy it, and it will please fans that do want to buy it. It's not exactly as if this will take up serious resources and time to accomplish.

Halo franchise is dead-in-the-water w/o Bungie.
 
But I like the idea of special "Halo CE Reach Remake-Rendtion" 10 year anniversary thing.

I am all for this. Many friends were ps2 people back in the day. They missed out on halo: ce and 2 and had expressed intrest in playing them when reach came out. But since we live far appart a remake with modern xbla support for coop would be great. And the fact that game is 10 years old freaks me out a bit... getting old :(

I'd get this. That story told in HD would be awesome.

This sounds great - the original MP maps were the best.

Oh god please do this! 
 
I would play the shit out of an updated halo.

So, Gears of War in 2011, and a Halo-remake?

Thank god I bought a PS3 last week.

SQEE that would be awesome, fuck all you naysayers there are people that actually like Halo because its fuckin Halo I cant wait for it to take the next step BUT its not like there are 50 halo games theres 50 billion Mario, Zelda, Metroid games but no one seems to complain because they are GOOD GAMES like....halo...hmm

Would be a nice way for 343i to get their feet wet as a team before releasing a major halo 4. They have alot of solid talent over there.
