Halo on Playstation is crazy af

They first meet just before the Pillar of Autumn escapes the battle.

Again, book canon, but they met like one year into Chief's career.

He started missions in 2525, the Covenant first contact was within a few months at the end of that year, met Johnson in '26, then Halo CE is 2552.

Halo 3 is never going to get a remaster....

IIRC the Arbiter leads the Covenant force in Halo CE, so it would have been cool to see things from his perspective.

They still got 2 years to reveal it in time for 20th anniversary

Interesting that they're adding prequel missions. I probably would have preferred a few more missions in between the first few levels though.

Always felt a bit odd to me that after you rescue Keyes in level 3 you never see him alive on screen again except for the flashback in level 6

Unless they redesign the repetitive levels I dont think I wanna do this again.

The levels are being redesigned too, how much remains to be seen but I believe they specifically called out The Library as being reworked.

Flood levels will be leaning in hard on the horror aspect too

Well if this does well enough well 100% get the same style remake of the next two games

It mentioning both Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson makes me think they will take place during the battle at Reach. They first meet just before the Pillar of Autumn escapes the battle. I'm not sure how they make it fit in Canon, but Halo: Reach and The Fall of Reach book already conflicted with each other, so I guess it doesn't matter much.

This makes the most sense to me. Reach was the pillar of autumn being the final escape that all the other Spartans fought to save. To get some space before the covenant did their worst. Having a few missions with chief and Johnson on the final moments of reach would be fucking great

What book did they first meet in? I always thought it was at the end of The Fall of Reach.

I only ever read the first couple, so if it's a later book I must have missed it.

Im a huge halo fan but Im so damn sick of remakes, why am i playing the same games i played 20 years ago. Or let me phrase it this way, 20 years ago when i played halo CE, i couldnt wait to see what amazing games would be like in the future. Turns out i was already playing them

Apparently on top of being a remake of a remake of a remaster, from watching that I suspected generative AI use, and yes, and they're being very squirrelly about how heavily used it was.

Hardest of hard fucking passes on this.

Removing the 60 round mag from the MA5B is fucking criminal. Can't one shot hunters with the pistol anymore either. Are the fucking warthogs even indestructible anymore?

I don't know about this fam...

I agree that Halo Online (a la GTA Online) needs to be a thing. But maybe not to the extent that a siloed multiplayer for Camp is omitted altogether before that materializes. Is this supposed to be a new tech demo with Halo or a definitive, ultimate edition of the game? I don't think you achieve either without pistol dominance on Hang Em High.

Halo is begging for a Battle Royale. It's the perfect setting

Drop in like ODSTs on some part of the Halo ring ( Environment/ level variety)

Have players fight and survive while the Flood closes in

Alternatively, New Mombasa BR at night with Jazz music blasting

No MCC for PS5 or Switch 2
Campaign only
UE5, so it will likely run like ass

Fuck off, Microsoft.

FYI If you start sounding this whiny and entitled I think it's time you find a new hobby.

I think a reimagining of Halo 1's campaign would have been the more interesting move. Something like SPV3. Hell, even something goofy like Cursed Halo works so well because the Halo 1 campaign sandbox is already so good as is.

New Mombasa with the circle closing gimmick being a few covenant ships glassing the city in a circular motion and pausing every few minutes to recharge their plasma cannons

Turn New Alexandria into a BR map too. Make it a cluster of about 20 buildings of different layouts and heights, close enough for ziplines, jetpacks, etc. have Covenant Squads drop in to pick out unassuming players as the glassing gets closer
