Anybody buy this game?

If you did, does the pistol have its scope and explosive bullets?
 
So you never played Halo? Not a great video, but at 20 seconds you can see the player using the scope. And yes it uses explosive bullets.

 
It's just Halo 1 with nice graphics, so everything in halo 1 is in there. I never heard anything about explosive bullets though.
 
The gameplay remains unchanged, just an update to the graphics and some long awaited XBL support :D
 
Just a little info about the M6D pistol from Halo Nation. http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/M6D_Personal_Defense_Weapon_System

The M6D is a semi-automatic, recoil-operated, magazine-fed, large-bore handgun that is controllable even during rapid fire, although at the cost of accuracy. In-game, the player can hold the trigger down, and the weapon will fire repeatedly without additional pulls of the trigger. It is most likely striker-fired, due to there being no visible external hammer. It fires M225 SAP-HE (Semi-Armor Piercing, High Explosive) rounds from a 12-round magazine. Operators can achieve an effective rate of fire of 3.5 rounds/sec or 210 rounds/min. The weapon is very accurate out to its maximum effective range. This accuracy allows incredibly precise target engagement at long range.

The M6D uses 12.7x40mm M225 SAPHE (Semi Armor Piercing High Explosive) magnum loads. These rounds have a jacket of copper or cupro-nickel around the projectile while the projectile itself is hollow and filled with an explosive compound and a delayed-detonation impact fuse. When the round impacts a target, the jacket will initially help the projectile maintain its shape, allowing it to travel into the target before detonating almost immediately after impact, causing massive tissue damage and system shock.
 
Was thinking about it, but going to pass.

I have been entrenched in Skyrim, i think any game coming out now is in jeopardy - that game is incredible, for me its one of the best of all time.

As much as i love Halo, and would like to play it through again, i decided i dont have the time to commit to it - especially knowing its just a graphics change. Sure its cool, but again it comes to down to having time for other endeavors.

Also, the online play is just halo reach / 3 engine, something i didnt like.

Of course I have, I don't recall any scope...but I'll admit I never bothered with the pistol unless I ran out of ammo.
That is however...VERY VERY lame, the pistol was overpowered as it was.
 
Odd, I've played around a hundred thousand multi-player games of Halo over the last 10 years and I never found the pistol overpowered. The guys I played with were good enough to get three shot kills on a consistent basis.

On one of my modded maps (Blood Gulch) I actually increased the range of all the other weapons to match the pistol. Most of the people that play that map never realise that the weapons they are using are modded.

I kind of miss those days when Halo was fairly new to us and we used to play three times a week, because we just couldn't get enough of it.

I'm still on the fence about buying the 10Th anniversary version. Several of my old Halo buddies have already bought it.
 
OF Halo I,II, III....

Only the first one had a decent (and challenging) campaign.
 
I've still got to play Reach. It is sitting on my rack.

But I didn't like the crazy save points or massive supply of amo in II/III.

In the first Halo, I never knew what to do or where to go. Often, I'd find my self stuck having to take out a bunch of baddies with a few bullets in order to get to the next save point.

II/III was more like watching a damn movie.
 
So does this actually have its own online play built in, or does it just give you maps you can use in Reach?

If it does have its own online play, is anybody on the servers?
 
It does have its own online play, but that's limited to 7 maps. The game includes a DL code so you can DL those same 7 maps to play on Reach as well. This was intended to prevent friends from just sharing one Halo CEA disc to copy the maps over to Reach and play. The game shares the same servers as Reach but Reach players can choose if they want to play the CEA list.

Wait wait... are you telling me that Halo CE Anniversary has online play - but its REAL Halo? Not Reach, or Halo 2/3/ODST online - but it's as if I've connected several original Xboxen together?

Even if it's only on 7 maps, I don't give a shit. I'll plug in my 360's CAT5 cable tomorrow!

Please clarify!

Thats what I've been trying to figure out. Does it play like Halo CE (1) online or like Halo reach online? I've been less than impressed with the last three Halos. Their watered down gameplay is so boring. Kill, get killed, repeat. Smaller clips, auto-aim, big hit boxes. What a load. Any doubt about it, go back and play Halo Combat Evolved.
 
Ah, that's what I thought. Bummer man, can't they see that after 10 years all people want is an online version of Halo CE's multiplayer?

I suck. Plain and simple, and I stink with the pistol in Halo 1. I'm terrible, but I would have a blast playing that original game (hell even on the old graphics) on Live multiplayer.

Reach combat is ok, it's probably the closest we can get to the original 'feel' of multi-HaloCE, but I'd still rather play (and constantly lose) at Halo CE's multiplayer.
 
The Multiplayer in all the Halos after the first one just plain sucked. Too many useless guns. A lot of the maps were a race to see who could get to the sword first and camp the area. Etc. Etc. Etc.
