I remember Halo: Combat Evolved. It was fun, using a pistol until someone got a tank and then running for your life because the cheeky bastard has also gotten the Rocket Launcher, the perfect Rock to their 90mm Tungsten Shells.
Uhh, I mean Scissors.
It was a cool game though. We had plenty of fun, whether we were walking around Blood Gulch with Permanent Invisibility and Sniper Rifles, or playing the Master Chief campaign, taking on everything with just the Pistol. That is until we ran out of the Ammunition, then we howled in disappointment and put the little hand cannon down and moved on.
My friends and I have kept playing the Campaign as the game continued releasing sequels. Halo 2, 3, 4, Halo Reach. I think the only game we didn't Coop was Halo ODST, and that's a bit of a shame.
So hearing about the Halo: Anniversary Edition, I got a little excited. I picked it up and thought "Yeah! This'll be great! Halo 1 updated!" I was wrong, but I still had fun for what it was, which was simply a much prettier game from back in the day.
Sadly though, I suspect it'll be the same thing for the Halo Master Chief Collection coming out for the Xbone later this year. Which is a shame. I would love to see the game updated with all the little tweaks that have been implemented in the series, from AI to the effect of weapons, to action items.
But that's something I doubt will be implemented, since each of the games are very different in their own ways. Any new players to the series would be able to fully experience the stories and evolution of the game from day dot to it's current iteration, but I have my doubts about whether they really want that.
In which case, I'm tired of the old staying old and just being prettier. So I may end up saving myself a few bucks in that.
