Microsoft could do a server update and console update like they did when the kinect came out to enable the box to support more players. I would just like to see player amount expand to 24 even. 2 teams of 12 or 4 teams of 6 whatever combo you wanted. It would be much better than 8v8.

I would like to play it so I will know what to expect with the title update in November.

The Pricing is right. With the DLC that is out there you pay 10-12 UDS for 2 maps. CEA will have 7 so I would say that's worth at least $25 in the Xbox live marketplace. Throw another $15 for the actual game and I say that's a pretty sweet package. Seriously you have till November (3 months) to save up for it.

So clean and pristine. Love

Hooray! I can't wait. This is fantastic. I am so glad they stayed true to the original game and didn't make any changes with the exception to adding the terminals. That should add a lot to the back story.

I mentioned that in a post much earlier. I think it would be great to have one large map like forge word with all kinds of terrains and environments. I would like to see a jungle atmosphere where you can add or remove trees, but the top is covered by a dense green canopy. Also a city type area where there is concrete and maybe some sky scrapers off in the distance. Also in these environments I want to control weather. How cool would it be to fight in the rain with rain drops splattering on your HUD when you look up, or fight in a dust storm with limited visibility. You could even let the wind effect physics of objects.

Thank you! I wish people would read or at least take the 5 min to watch the videos from 343 where most of this is explained. The reason behind releasing CEA to get people excited about Halo again. All effort for a new multiplayer engine is being focused on Halo 4, a project that is solely 343 with no bungie influence. CEA is built on the original CE engine with updated graphics and sound layered over the existing graphics. It is the original game. You can at any moment click over to the original graphics. CEA HAS SAME ENGINE AS CE! NEW MULTIPLAYER WILL COME WITH HALO 4! CEA HAS SAME ENGINE AS CE! NEW MULTIPLAYER WILL COME WITH HALO 4! CEA HAS SAME ENGINE AS CE! NEW MULTIPLAYER WILL COME WITH HALO 4! CEA HAS SAME ENGINE AS CE! NEW MULTIPLAYER WILL COME WITH HALO 4! CEA HAS SAME ENGINE AS CE! NEW MULTIPLAYER WILL COME WITH HALO 4! GET IT!

Hopefully we will know by next week. Halo fest will be starting and a ton of more H4 info will be out and a lot more CEA stuff since it will be dropping in 3 months.

We know the game will sell big so that makes it a win but that is only because of the franchise. Reach was a win in terms of copies sold but considered a failure by fan-boys. I think H4 has the potential to be a huge seller but also an epic fail if 343 tries to make it to much like CoD or change to much crap.

I saw no to being the engineer in VIP. How boring that would be. Slow and no weapons. Encourages camping to much. I also don't think they should be in forge unless you want them as forge-able animals. I want engineers and MOA to run around my maps and be able to turn them into objectives. First team to capture 10 Engineers. First team to Kill 50 MOAs

I think I posted on here earlier, but in regard to 4 player co-op it doesn't mater what we want because it's not happening. It is a remastering not a remake! For those of you wanting AA's and assassinations you need to go play Reach. CE was a great game and CEA will be also because it is the same game! I would prefer them to remake Reach with no AA's and assassinations and keep it like every other Halo game. Power ups only no Armor Abilities.

I personally enjoy firefight. I would just like to have the option to fight the flood instead. Possibly in a cramped spaceship hull or in the caves and tunnels from campaigns.

I enjoy the discussion on here so much because for the most part everyone here seems to have a t least a tiny bit of intelligence. I agree with LuLz that either with AA or no AA's I will enjoy the new game. I don't like that they want to incorporate Reach elements but they probably will. I expect it to be a lot more like CoD in the Multiplayer and campaign which I loath. I hate CoD but Microsoft wants to move that way from what I have heard. Thrusters or no Thrusters I am a MC fan. It will be nice to play as the classy gentleman again and not as some ODST low life or unnamed spartan.

Dominator, you know you can MultiQuote right? Haha I think ODST:2 and Wars:2 would be good side stories. Also, I would not mind seeing another game like Reach where you step back in time to the first contact with the covenant on Harvest. The time frame of he game can span the first several years of the war with the covenant and the Spartan program. Whatever happens though I hope there is flood. I missed not having flood in ODST or in Reach. I know they have their place with in the cannon but I love fighting with the flood. On the MMO... Bungie is working with Activision on a huge new MMO project called destiny if you haven't heard about it. With more and more games going MMO I would prefer to keep gamers tethered to their boxes playing Multiplayer online.

I loved these last two posts. I particularly loved the part about having an advanced or basic modes for editing. I as a a regular forger would like to be able to build quick maps in basic mode then switch over to advanced to work on aesthetics and detail. I feel like Bungie thought they needed to dumb it down so that everyone could use it. If only 20% of the people use forge (which is pretty accurate) then design it for those 20% of people who actually know how to forge. Instead what happens is someone decided to make their own map who has had no experience with it before. To often I download a map that someone threw together who didn't know what they were doing (No load out picture, Spawning in a kill zone, only playable with pink and purple teams but nothing in the description, miss-matched objects in space, I could go on and on and on...) I want a rating system for the Custom Maps that get uploaded. If people like a map and it is well built then I want to download it. If a map is a piece of crap and does not work right then I want to know before I waste the time to download and play it. What would be cool is if through this rating system 343 tracks votes and adds the really good maps in an action sac playlist in multi-player.

Ark you kinda sound like you have split personalities. You commented on your own post like someone else wrote it. haha

I like my RTS on PC and my FPS on Xbox 360. I think Wars should have been on PC only. I would have liked it a lot more.

If Wars gets a sequel I would hope they rebuild the engine as well. and give the option to play as flood.

I can't even use a kinnect at my house. We have an old floor that creaks and stuff. When you jump the whole house shakes haha. At my Brothers place he lives in the second floor of an apartment building and the neighbors get all fussy when we play there. HW2 would be ok I guess. I wasn't crazy about the first. I would have enjoyed it more on PC than xbox.

for as much as everyone hates AA's I still see way more people playing reach than I do going back and playing halo 3.

I want Flood in Firefight. Invasion should be something new. Something more sinister than the big dumb brutes.

Agreed. Lets move forward people. I wish people would quit hoping for old weapons to show up again. I would like something different than the DMR too and yeah I loved the BR but I would rather see a new Mid range precision weapon. And deciding not to buy the new game because it doesn't a specific weapon you want is dumb. I doubt anyone will really not play unless the BR is there.

I would like to see even more AA's. I just posted about some new ones I would like to see. I would prefer to see all AA's restricted to certain playlist's like those in Action Sac and make them available in Custom games. I don't think the campaign needs them or your Main matchmaking playlists. But realistically they will probably be there. If you love H# hand H2 so much then go play them. We want a new game not something that has already been done.

I would expect to see some stuff from Halo Wars since 343 did that game sans Bungie. I think a UNSC melee weapon in fine as long as it is just as balanced as the energy sword. Every weapon in the game will change a little. I would like to see Dual wielding make a comeback. Dual Needler's!

I wrote in another post somewhere about how I would like to see some more AA's added but only for custom games. Some things like supper jump, rage (be able to push unfixed objects around like brutes do), kick (similar to melee but is slightly more effective), and some other similar stuff. Again Only in Custom games. Not in matchmaking or in Campaign.
