Packing slip still attached and everything.

I'm at Warrant Officer in Reach. The series has always been my favorite franchise. The games get better with each new release, and the books are fantastic. Personally, I nearly wet myself with excitement when I saw the Halo 4 trailer.

New footage on CEA has been released. There will be a "scanning" function built in that utilizes Kinect.

Also, new skull; Malfunction disables a random part of your HUD every respawn.

Awesomesauce :3

I've never played any game of the series before ODST, so the CE anniversary would be my biggest chance to play the three first games of the trilogy.

[Makaru]

ODST was my first as well, and take it from me, CE really was one of the best games.

EDIT:

Also, first time ever; co-op specific cutscenes (ignoring the Aribiter ones from H3. Derp.). As in 2 hushed caskets.

[Delta Titan Sparta]

Overall, I've beaten 3, ODST, and Reach. Two, CE, and Wars I have yet to beat.

[Valenti]

I still need to beat ODST and I still need to start on Wars.

Finished the rest, hehe.

Also, finally, managed to find a limited edition of Reach.
Halsey's journal is awesome.

[Promised Land]

CE was the first Halo game I played and I've finished all of them (although I only really played Wars on a friend's console).

[A Happy Buzzsaw]

ODST was pretty easy on Legendary, the Flood missions on Halo Wars were insane. I didn't even do it on Legendary, those things that launch Flood spore killed me every time.

[~Allegretto~]

I never even tried Halo Wars on Legendary. I had enough problems with Arcadia City on co-op to permanently put me off that game.

Spam infantry. Use SOF healing power on transports. Problem solved.

Seems the Chief has a scan feature in CEA that wasn't there before...

[Akamai921]

Regardless of what's being added, I'm way too excited for Combat Evolved. Always been my favorite game of the series, and to see it in glorious HD will bring a tear to my eye. A single, forever alone tear.

CEA will show everyone that bungie has put the halo franchise in good hands.I am glad it happend or else Halo:Reach would have been the last game they make.

[Chibinuva]

I'm not allowed to play Halo, which is odd, and annoying, since literally 90% of all the kids i know play Halo, and none are younger than me!

Same here, since my mom won't let me get any M-rated games. Is there any cursing in Halo: Combat Evolved? (the first one) If there isn't too much, I'll probably download it through xbox live, since my mom doesn't really care about violence and blood as much.

A bit, but nothing too strong.

But you might want to wait to get the new Anniversary game coming out soon.

Compared to most games? Barely. Only 5 instances or so in cutscenes, and pretty tame compared to what's in games now. You can also prevent it by avoiding friendly fire.

Okay then, I'll probably get it through Xbox Live. If you download a game through Xbox Live, you can play it through any account right? I'm just wondering since the parent account is the only one that can download M-rated games, but I want to play it with my regular account.

If you wait 'til November 15th (I think) you can just get Halo Anniversary. It's the first Halo game but made better. On Amazon you can get it for $40, and get $10 back.

New achievements.

[Makaru]

Bounty Hunter is really the only difficult on there.

[Zahaki]

New Halo Reach Achievements?

Awww... Now I have to finish that a 4th time now...

1st - got all 1000g
2nd - a week after Noble came out.
3rd - same day when Defient (So easy those achievements)

Now more... *sigh*

I did see this coming though, new maps, alway come with new achievements... I would like new armour though from 343.
--

I wonder if I can get the achievements before everyone else, because I get the game a day before the US does.

[Ultimate_Kardas]

Augh headhunter.

Probably do a couple of these with my friends in a full party anyway.

And if we're lucky, we'll be able to do them in custom games like the defiant map pack achievements.

Nah, buying the older game is much cheaper (unless it has more games, or is like Generations with levels from each of the different games.) However, since my mom refuses to get me anything rated M, regardless of content, I'll just have to download it through xbox live. If I did that, would I be able to play it with any account, or just the parent account (which is the only account that could download it.)

Lol, yeah That be cool if we could do that. I didn't know we could until last month I think I found that out, I wa like "Lolwat?"

It has online Multiplayer and co-op, achievements, much better graphics, Terminals that will tell a side story, a remade soundtrack, and a "Library" feature that allows you to learn more about the characters from the game.

If they don't care about violence link them to the Common Sense Media review. It's best to be up front about game ratings, I think, and not sneakily download it.

Perhaps, but it's also a pain when she's being stubborn and refuses to even consider it simply because of the M-rating. However, I will take your advice and show her the CSM review, since maybe then she'll let us get it.

[Bundalings]

Also the reviews made by other parents (not Common Sense's own) seem more reasonable to me, since they say overall the game is appropriate for 12+, which is something I agree with. Halo is a really mild M game, I'm not even sure it would get an M rating in 2011.

[Vak Il Mio Amore]

Usually the presence of the Flood is one of the biggest contributors to the M-Rating. Without it, Halo loses the Gore part of their ratings altogether- Check your Halo games that do and don't have Flood for proof :3 Honestly, if it weren't for consistency in ratings, I'm sure something like ODST would become Rated T.

Otherwise the Flood, especially the graphically better games get, are plenty grotesque.

[Electric Turahk]

I've tried doing a custom game to get the Stockpile achievement, since it's the only one I have left, but it doesn't seem to work for me. :/

And yeah, Bounty Hunter is definitely the only hard one here. I've only managed to do that once (not that people like to play Headhunter a whole lot anyways...).

[Silver the Hedgehog]

I already got all the acheivements for all halo games that have them.

[~Allegretto~]

I still need to get a few Achievs in Wars...

[Chibinuva]

Thanks guys, I'll show her the review later and she lets us get them (or at least Combat Evolved and Reach.) Also, I'm thinking some of the games are rated M partially to get more people, since most FPSes these days are rated M, and as my friends often say, "most good games are rated M," and since many kids think that way, bumping a T rating up to M, or E rating up to T is often used to get more potential buyers. I'll have to show her the review and later and see what she thinks.

[Makaru]

I guarantee that if you play the game on legendary, there will be swearing.

It won't be from the game.

It will be from you.

Even if you don't swear. Even if you don't know any swears, you will have to invent some for The Library.

This is very true. I wish Spark would use his eye laser in this game instead of just floating around and humming... might have made things a bit easier.

[Triggons]

Anyone excited for Halo: Anniversary? The maps look pretty awesome, and I'm really excited to see how well 343 handles a project like this. The campaign looks great, but that was kind of a given.

Edited by Oni, Oct 21 2011 - 02:51 PM.

[Chibinuva]

Okay, I asked my Mom, and she still refuses to let us get the game on account of it being rated M, and won't even come see the CSM review. Looks like I'll probably just download the first one from Xbox Live then.

[Silver the Hedgehog]

My mom lets me buy the Halo games and I am only elevan.Mainly because my brother used to play those games often but now he does not really.


Wish there was some new news on Halo 4 though.I like that more then Halo anniversary.

[Vak Il Mio Amore]

Don't worry, it's still over a year away- and if 343 is like Bungie in any way, they'll be pretty good at keeping details under the hood until about the 6-months-to-launch mark. I almost wish they had kept Halo 4 a secret... When they dropped the bombshell on Halo 3 coming out, it'd been a few years since a Halo game was released, and it was extremely exciting. It almost seems to take out some of the oomph by saying, "Ohey, we're also doing this, but it won't be out for awhile!"

But that's just how I feel. I missed the Halo 1/Halo 2 releases.

[Delta Titan Sparta]

I'm bummed, man. The XBox I was using had its hard drive erased. Now, I'm back at Private.
