I wasn´t a big fan of the franchise before...i didn´t understand what all the hype was about. Then i dedicated a fair amount of time to Halo Reach and i liked it a lot, played for countless hours... one of the best single player experiences i´ve had in recent years..but strangely i´m not that excited for these games...i think it´s because i did not play the ones were master chief was the main characters....but anyway it looks good and will give it a shot.


Play the originals first, honestly the story alone is worth the experience

I don´t think i could get an original xbox to play them, and i really don´t like to play on my pc ( i don´t have a very powerful pc ) , so i will play the remastered version when it comes out. 

i played halo 2 and halo 3 for some time, but as i said, i didn´t like them that much and it could be because i didn´t play the first one, so this is a great oportunity to make it right to myself and to the franchise.

Personally Halo 2 is the worst in the series. Hao CE is my favorite, followed by Reach. Halo CE has the best story out of all teh Halo games. You can play it on a 360 if you have one.

i forgot i could play it on my 360...i´ll see if i can get it soon, is it available as a downloadable title on the 360?

is it wrong to more exited for Halo HD then for 4?

No. That game is brilliant.


I've heard the original is best.

I don't know about "best", as I didn't play ODST or Reach too much, but it certainly is an exciting shooter.


As someone who has played and beaten every Halo made, I can say with full confidence that Halo CE is the best. Incredible game that lasted me well over 700 hours of online gameplay(PC, along with Halo: Custom Edition), more then twice any other Halo. I loved Reach as well, but nothing compares to the first.

Can't wait for the Remake!

Yeah it is. Looking it up it costs 1200 MS points or $15. Might be cheaper if you get it used.


don´t know about that, i live in Mexico and i don´t think i could get it used that cheap.....guess i´ll go downoladable on this one and thanks for the info =).

I love Halo CE, it is an absolutely fantastic game. However, Halo 2 was better in my opinion. The story was much more fleshed out. Playing as the Arbiter gives you a great perspective on the way. The missions and location had more variety than Halo CE and it just feels more epic. I'm not a big multiplayer fan so I'm not going to argue about the multiplayer too much, but it did improve in that area too with Xbox Live support. I'm a Halo campaign fan so that's what I'm excited about, continuing the single player game. Halo CE Anniversary is going to be great and I can't wait to play it, but I'm even more excited for Halo 4 and the possibility for a Halo 2 Anniversary the year after Halo 4 ships. It's good to be a halo far, that's for sure.

To each their own, which is fine, because Halo 2 did things differently then Halo CE. Both incredible games. I just liked Hao CE more because it was a bit simpler imo, and Halo: Custom Edition had over 500 maps with equally many weapons. PC only though.

halo CE was amazing because of how influential it was to console shooters. Only goldeneye could have more credit than it. I have mixed feelings over the remake. While I loved playing the original halo. Now that every console fps has copied everything that made it so great, i won't be so utterly amazed by it. I'm not much of a nostalgia gamer unless there really hasn't been a game that improved on an old classic =X. As for the multiplayer, I loved CE's so much because multiplayer involved hanging out with a bunch of my friends playing it together at someone's basement. Playing it through live will make it lose a lot of its charm.
