Halo 4 Message Board older than one year ago

Out with those baby graphics!

Before you finish the fight with Master Chief in Halo 4, return to the very first fight--the fight you thought was finished in 2001-- and finish it all over again.

During Microsoft's E3 Press Conference, the minds behind 343 Industries announced Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, an updated and enhanced remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved. Commemorating ten years of Spartans, Team Slayer, Needlers, plasma grenades, Warthogs, and teabags, Halo Anniversary will feature an enhanced retelling of the original Halo campaign with HD graphics.

In addition to the campaign, Halo Anniversary will feature seven updated versions of the original game's multiplayer maps, which means that you'll finally be able to play the REAL Blood Gulch in an online Halo match (you know, instead of all those fake Blood Gulch maps.)

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary will be released for the 360 on Novermber 15.

#e32011 There will be a new Halo trilogy, starting with late 2012's Halo 4. That was the show-ending big news in a Microsoft E3 showcase that pushed Kinect hard. More »

Halo 4? Halo: Combat Evolved ... Anniversary? Wait ... Halo 4?! Allegedly, these titles (and more) were revealed by Microsoft itself, hours ahead of its 10AM (PT) press conference, on the company's E3 community site. NowGamer supposedly spotted the posting, which has since been removed by Microsoft, but not before a mess of details were loosed. Among them: news that "Halo 4 is on the way."

A scene from the end of Halo 3 prefaces the news, which also teases "but that's not all." As we reported back in February, a Halo: Combat Evolved "remaster" is also apparently in the pipeline. The image says nothing beyond the game being "remastered for a new generation," and dubs it "Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary" -- just in time for the ten year anniversary of Halo 1's original launch in November of 2001. We've reached out to Microsoft for comment, but we imagine we won't hear anything back until Microsoft's official presser in a few hours.

Master Chief is back and ready to head up a new Halo Trilogy! Check out the Debut Trailer from E3 2011!
