| I think it's worth a mention. From this Sparkcast (http://halo.xbox.com/Content/assets/en-us/Podcast/waypointrss.xml), I also believe that it might be Flood. They could have been joking, but Frankie and the other 343 members were still hinting at The Library. -[[User:TheLostJedi|'''<span style="color:maroon">TheLostJedi</span>''']] 16:07, 7 June 2011 (EDT) | | I think it's worth a mention.

| ::Quite so. According to the Sparkast I linked there will be another disc with the Campaign disc for Halo: CEA. That disc will have the 7 new maps, although they also spoke of a voucher code that will come with the purchase, to download those 7 maps, allowing players to play all of Reach's maps if they choose to.

| As of right now, it sounds like 343 is still fixing/redoing a lot of stuff in the game, the helmet and armor included. Hopefully the stuff we've seen so far isn't the final version [[User talk:SPARTAN-347|SPARTAN-347]] 17:20, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

| ::True, also if you watch carefully, all of the appearances of Chief in the trailer aren't consistent.

| ...You know, another possibility could be that the Mk. V that we've seen in Reach (the whole suit, not just the armor pieces) is actually the Mk. V [B] (the privatized variant made for the SPARTAN-IIIs), and what we're seeing in Halo: Anniversary is the straight-up Mk. V [[User talk:SPARTAN-347|SPARTAN-347]] 00:17, 19 June 2011 (EDT)

|

|
| :I don't think so, because such an important piece of info would be mentioned somewhere. Also, it's not really common for there to be a privatized variant of an entire suit. Jorge uses the same base suit as the rest of Noble team, so a special Spartan-III private Mk V variant is out of the question. I honestly think that 343 wanted to keep the suit like the original in order to preserve John's image. The Mk V in Halo: Reach is a sort of redux made to bring the old Mk V into a new, grittier light. If John used the Reach model for Mk V, it wouldn't feel right. However, I wish 343 would make it ''a little'' bit more like the Reach version just for canon and aesthetic reasons...--File:PENGUIN4.gif|15px]]''[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-family:Verdana">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Penguin</span>]]<sup><small>([[User talk:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:gray">ice quack!</span>]])''</small></sup> 14:14, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

| ==Terminals== | | I'm really disappointed that they aren't really paying attention to canon here. The MA5B looks too much like the MA37 (in fact, I don't think they changed it at all) and the M6D on the cover art looks exactly like the M6G in Reach. They also copied some models from Reach like the Warthog's, Marines'/Army Troopers', and the enemies'. If so, why not update Chief's armor with Reach's model? Also, they're using Army Troopers from Reach instead of Marines. Gaaaw, why is a fan like me better at keeping canon than the people that make the game?--[[Image:PENGUIN4.gif|15px]]''[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-family:Verdana">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Penguin</span>]]<sup><small>([[User talk:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:gray">ice quack!</span>]])''</small></sup> 15:51, 7 June 2011 (EDT) |

| | :Perhaps the ''Reach'' MA37 was intended to simply be a graphical update of the MA5B all along? Furthermore, it's entirely possible that the Army's armour used in ''Reach'' is a graphical update of the metal slabs worn by the Marines in the original ''Halo: CE''. Of course, this does raise the question of what became of those sealed, fully-visored helmets worn by the Marine in ''Reach''.--[[User talk:The All-knowing Sith'ari|The All-knowing Sith'ari]] 12:44, 8 June 2011 (EDT) |

The old MA5 style has also been the Halo gun, I mean, when you think Halo you think MJOLNIR, Warthog, and Assault Rifle, those are the classics and I really hope they don't mess that up. That and the MA37 is ugly anyway. Think about the rest too, all of the Human weapons are different versions in Reach and CE, hell, the Shotgun isn't even the same gun at all! Though it would be okay to keep the M6G, because like some other people here I believe that the vast majority of the pistols used on 04 were the standard issue Gs, and only a few (or maybe only the one given to you by Keyes) were the Officer's D model. I'm really hoping they are placeholders and there will be actual graphical updated versions of the CE weapons instead of ported over Reach ones.

As commander Tony said, Marathon belongs to Bungie but Halo belongs to Microsoft therefore Microsoft will not use the symbol without Bungie's permission.

| == Old or New Engine? ==
| |
| | |
| I know that this game uses the original engine, but would people like it better if it used the Reach engine (minus equipment and all the stuff that wasn't in the original game). What I mean by the Reach engine is the ability to swap weapons with allies, have UNSC vehicles be destructible, and have the same weapon and AI behaviors as in Reach, but map layout and stuff that was exclusive to the original game (such as the original assault rifle) will have the original behaviors. I know keeping the old engine gives it that vintage and classic feel that was important to the game when it first came out, but would people really buy a game that they already have just because they updated the graphics? For me, I guess I would give it a try, maybe rent it, but I don't know if I'll buy it just for the graphics.

| Since Reach graphics are used, won't canonical stuff about appearance also change? For example, Zealots are Gold in the original trilogy, but not in Reach. This can be explained canonically right now that the Reach Zealot armor is an older version, but if the ones in this game are now using the old armor, won't that mess up how to explain it? <font style="papyrus">[[User:Bioniclepluslotr|<font color="lime">'''Bioniclepluslotr'''</font>]]</font> 21:52, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

| == Headlong? ==
| |
| | |
| I see here that we have 'conformed’ that the Halo 2 remake is Headlong. However the link to prove this is broken and just leads you to the IGN home page.
| |
| | |
| '''Reason to keep it''': I have done some outside research on this, and found that other people also said this “Warthog violence” video conformed the remaking of Headlong.
| |
| | |
| '''Reasons not to keep it''': I can conform that this video DID exist on the 26th of august (using Google's cache), But this video does not exist on IGN anymore. Now they might have taken it down because it really was a slip and wanted to get it out of the public…but it also very well could have been taken down for other reasons. The bottom line is we can't go and see if the video did in fact prove the remaking of Headlong.
| |
| | |
| My question is do we continue to use this no-existing video as proof, or do we take down the Headlong information?

| Why do people always make such a big deal over minor visual changes? It doesn't mess with canon if certain weapons get a bit more detailed or get some minor aesthetic change that in no way affects the story or anything. Just appreciate the fact that they're making a remastered Halo: CE instead of whining about how weapons look slightly different. --[[User talk:LeeUnit92|LeeUnit92]] 16:16, 23 October 2011 (EDT)

| :Agreed. It's not as if they're creating a ''new'' game, they're remastering an old game with a new skin. What did we expect? The majority of their team is probably crunching away on Halo 4, trying to deliver us new hotness. Using old, slightly modified skins saved time and effort, especially time, and allows the real effort to go into the level redesigns. How long did they spend reiterating on the Chief's model? Do we really want that time spent making sure the M6D or the M90 or the MA5B is absolutely canonically perfect? If it comes down to it, then the new game takes priority - it's owned by the current license holders, and is the newer version with updated and supplemental materials. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 16:27, 23 October 2011 (EDT)

| == M6D Comment is Weird? ==
| |
| | |
| I noticed that the top of the "features" section says:
| |
| "The game will feature a graphics layer running on top of the exact Halo: Combat Evolved physics and gameplay engine.[6] As such, gameplay mechanics from the original game, such as the M6D pistol's three-shot kill, will all be present."
| |
| I know that the use of the M6D 3sk example comes from 343i's own videos, but it doesn't actually make sense in the context of campaign gameplay; the 3sk is strictly a result of MP weapon balancing, and doesn't manifest in campaign at all. In fact, even on easy, it takes 4 shots to bring down a blue elite.--[[Special:Contributions/66.194.72.243|66.194.72.243]] 02:54, 29 October 2011 (EDT)

So if something happens one way in the original, and one way in Anniversary, then Anniversary will win, no? Vegerot goes RAWR!

| :Yes. 343i hold the IP, it's the newest game, ergo it's the higher-priority canon. From everything they've said, and from everything we've seen, though, I really do think that the use of the M45 shotgun instead of the M90 is the only major change. Obviously there's the terminals, and graphical updates, but otherwise it's meant to be utterly faithful. No "Greedo-shot-first" or blinking Ewoks here, no sir. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 01:01, 31 October 2011 (EDT)

| No, what I'm saying is that everything in Anniversary replaces the original. So for example, that means that in canon perspective, the M90 never even WAS used on 04! Also, we would remove the thing on Cortana's page about her looking like that during the Battle of Installation 04, because those things are overwritten in Anniversary. Vegerot goes RAWR!

| | |
| I don't know, I wouldn't totally say that the M90 Shotgun was never seen on Installation 04. For one, the novel ''Halo: The Flood'' says that they used the M90 on Alpha Halo. I know this because I happen to be reading it right now. Actually, more like the older novel, but I doubt that the author changed everything in the new edition, just like 343i changed everything in ''Halo Anniversary''. Sure there may be many grammar and punctuation corrections, and maybe a few changed sentences, maybe, ''maybe'' one or two paragraphs, but I don't think the article or small sections of the article should be completely changed or have anything omitted. Am I coming through, am I being understood completely? It just seems wrong to say that the M90 was not present and used on Alpha Halo, it's like saying it was never encountered until ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3''. But granted, I do however agree the M45 looks much more cool than the M90, but seems to me shares some similarities to the M90A of H2 and more specifically, H3. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 16:18, 31 October 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330

| Actually, either way it was first encountered in Halo: Reach. But I think that we should change the moments in which we say that it's the M90 and make it the M45. Vegerot goes RAWR!

| Maybe just so, but please bear in mind about the "alternating switch" key between different graphics engines plays a factor on this discussion, and also the article. By alternating between different graphics engines, the user "switches" between the M45E Tactical Shotgun and the M90 CAWS Shotgun. This can very easily wreak hell and havoc on this, making things very confusing, or maybe a little confusing. Either way, you may want to think about it. The past cannot be undone, nor should it be. Just a friendly word of advice. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 19:16, 31 October 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330

| :No, the M90 still exists, and we used it in the original, that's just '''non-canon''' now. The M90 looks like the original one, and the M45 looks like the updated one, and they both exist. Also, saying there were ''no'' M90s on Alpha Halo would be like saying there were no M7s on Reach, the weapon selection in-game =/= the canon weapons used there, it's just a byproduct of how the game works. In "The Mona Lisa" we saw both MA5Bs and MA5Cs being used at the same time. In a similar fashion, it's doubtful '''all''' the M6s used on the POA on Alpha Halo were the D variant, as that's the officer's variant. Keyes would have one and a few others, but the majority would most likely have been Gs and Cs, there's just one M6 to represent them all, same goes for other weapons and games. Also, on another point, I'm in favour of saying only the improved graphics are canon, and switching to the old makes the visuals "non-canon". That might not be the best way to word it, but you all get what I mean. [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 20:21, 11 November 2011 (EST)

| He's right. The real world WWII German Army used, for example, about 6 different variants of the Panzer IV tank and 8 of the Panzer III. In 1942-1943, it was pretty common to see a Panzer IVF, Panzer IVH, Panzer IIIJ, and Panzer IIIL in the same platoon. You could have mixed platoons of Tiger Is and Panzer IIIs. The U.S. Air Force has 4 different models of F-16, and only an expert plane spotter could tell the difference between them just by looking. Militaries regularly use different versions of the same equipment at the same time. --[[User talk:Sierra 109|Sierra 109]] 13:39, 13 November 2011 (EST)

| :Thank you, perfect example! Pick any WWII game that has a Panzer, or any air combat game with an F-16 and you will only find the one variant, because that's how games work. It'd be silly for a Halo game to have multiple versions, because one of the trademark Halo things is that there is only one gun from each role in any given game.

| :The multiplayer within Anniversary is synonymous with Reach's. That means that everything from Halo: Reach will be in Halo: Anniversary. That includes weapons, the game modes, the armour abilities, the ability to play as a Sangheili, graphics, and audio. Kind of similar to [[Halo 3: Mythic|Halo 3's multiplayer being included within Halo 3: ODST]]. However, Halo: Anniversary's (Reach's) multiplayer will be included on one disc alone. Only Halo: Anniversary's campaign uses the original Halo's engine for gameplay purposes. It also includes a second engine which powers the updated graphics.

| I think that 343I should have include a few new covenant weapons in the campaign, to give it some extra tactical depth. Case in point. In the HCE level Halo, at the point where you rescue the marines on the hill over the beam emitter, I have never failed to rescue all of the marines, and only a very few times in all the times I played it (200+ at this point) has a single Covenant solder reached the top of the hill. This is due to the fact that with an SRS99S2-AM Sniper Rifle, I can mow them down with impunity without fear of counter snipers. Now if 343I were to add, say, 1-2 Jackals (on normal) or more (heroic and legendary) equiped with Carbines, Needle Rifles, or even Focus Rifles, it would force players to find a good sniping spot, and ensure that easy pickings are confined to Easy difficulty! --[[User talk:Sierra 109|Sierra 109]] 10:48, 14 November 2011 (EST)
