microsoft needs money...so a half assed remake would fit right in! of course, it would have to cost less then 500 billion! considering how that game went.
Best Halo 3 moment is definitely when the elite fleet goes up against the brute fleet that outnumbered them 3 to 1 and the shipmaster just goes "Then it is an even fight."
Nah best moment is when forward unto dawn swoops down to the arks surface to drop off heavy armour. the fact it happens in real time and all the vehicle wrecks get flung back by the wind generated give such an awesome sense of scale I have yet to see in any other game
A Halo 3 Anniversary could be a great way to reboot the series and actually follow Bungie's lore going in to a hypothetical Halo 4. Our own ancient ancestors being the inception of all Abrahamic religion is much cooler than a gaggle of space nazi vampires (that have a caste system lol) self sacrificing to arbitrarily lift up another species.
I think Halo should remain untouched for a decade like DOOM and a competent developer takes over with all 343 lore retconned and frank o’connor’s terminals erased
I think you hit the nail on the head with this. At this point 343 needs any type of positive publicity they can get, and successfully remastering the most popular title in the franchise would be a great way to achieve that. I think it might even be a rude awakening for them when they see how much more popular the classic gameplay is compared to what they have made.
Naw, we got MCC for it already. Game's optimized to the max and the art style needs little to no improvement. I don't care about polygon counts tbh. Why waste money on something that's already been perfected?
@@meteorhero526 Because the majority of the younger generation hasn't played it and the franchise is dying. I definitely don't want them to touch the gameplay, but the idea of a remake isn't the worst I've heard for the franchise. I'd much rather that than the hero shooter route they almost took it down.
Having a Halo 3 Anniversary would be amazing but if they want this to succeed they need to launch it as a COMPLETE product with all maps, modes and features + more and all on launch
Exactly!! If I was good with tech like that I'd work on it!! I actually want to make a Halo CE anniversary almost exactly like Kashiera's "halo 3 combat evolved" with a tacked on "arbiter mission" almost exactly like Spv3's arbiter mission
I feel like at this point it’s the right thing to do to bring the player base back. Ez money and Ez player population spike up. It’s a great way for 343 to grow a big audience again and a way to apologise to the fans. 🤙🏻
Debatable, H2A’s campaign was great but MP was a disservice to the H2 community. H1A was a poor remaster that tonally ruined the middle part of the game and the MP was tacked on DLC for Reach.
@@aaron4757 It has the best feeling weapons in single player, especially the AR and pistol. Multiplayer is way better in the sequels tho yeah but CE didnt even have servers it was all system link so I can get why they maybe didn't spend as much time on it.
Definitely true that 343 needs to be careful with what they do after recent titles flopping as much as they did. But I think a Halo 3 remake, if done right, could definitely revitalize the series and bring back people's hope in the titles getting traction again. Besides, the models have definitely begun showing their age lately.
I'm on the fence about it. I would love to see Halo 3 have a graphical enhancement but at the same time, 343 at the helm would probably doom it from the get-go. I've lost all faith in the developers.
Personally I’d love a H3A, but put it on the MCC. Would they lose money, yeah, but if done right they get good will within the community again, and they can even make a new battle pass for H3A multiplayer, which would greatly bolster players, and might even put Halo back on the map within the media and online scene
A H3A could be a fantastic idea. With the leadership at 343 changing, and the rumors of the next Halo moving to Unreal, doing H3A could be used as a way to show people that the new leadership is good, and that the move to Unreal won't hurt the Halo gameplay feel and artstyle. Of course, this is assuming they do H3A right, because if not, doing it wrong would completely backfire, and make people more pessimistic than ever about Halo's future. It would be a very risky gamble.
I have been playing Halo since its conception. At this point I just want it to die with the shred of dignity it still has. After Halo 3 chronologically it should have ended story wise, they literally said so in the documentary on the making of the game. Halo reach was the end of the gas tank of ideas for Halo. Things Bungie had wanted to implement and try were finally added. (If things such as sprint and loadouts were a success. That debate is ongoing in the community) My belief with all properties of the creative realm. Is that once the people who actually came up with the ideas that made the property, quit or no longer lead that series. Lord please just end it.
I wanna see an R/18 rated halo 3 anniversary with Gory flood effects and scenes shit would go hard and I also hope they implement the grapple as a normal mechanic
@@ChimericSign unless they are talking about stuttering ,i guess would be the word, i dont see how thermal throttling would be affecting the cut scenes
Honestly, I think it's long overdue. CE and Halo 2 got an anniversary edition. I would like to see Halo 3 get the same treatment or even a full-on remake.
with all the halo games 343 has destroyed i think we should just let halo 3 go down in history as the orignal. i trully believe 343 are just to scared to remaster a already MASTER PIECE because of there track record.
If nothing else, I just want forge mode with some blank slate maps and a few very malleable forgeworld-esque maps, or even a forge world 2.0, with the original control scheme and the quality of life stuff like magnets, set rotation angles, mass deletion by item/pallette, item duping, etc. The genius of forge in 3, 4, 2A and reach was how simple it was, I could easily make competent maps from scratch by myself in a few hours over a couple sessions.
My favorite memory has to be either when me and my friends all got recon after completing the vidmaster achievements or when I cleared the game for the first time. Seeing your warthog fly through the air into the autumn with the ring exploding all around you as you went... God, I wish I could see it again the same way I did then.
There's one more thing a Halo 3 Anniversary needs to launch with on all platforms. SPLIT. SCREEN. MULTIPLAYER. And I do mean ALL platforms. The lack of Split Screen on MCC PC KILLS me. I have the controllers to be able to do it and the horsepower on my rig to run it smoothly, but it's still exclusive to console >:U Hell considering how many controllers today's consoles can connect, I could imagine a full 8 player lobby on one system.
3 anniversary would be a great morale boost for the fandom and gain the respect of industry again A nostalgia bait 2000s influenced ad campaign would bring older fans It would also fill up some time between infinite and halo 7 so 343 can have enough time for the development The game could be popular it’s just a matter of Microsoft correctly marketing the game (halo 5 and bungie era should be an example)
Halo 3 holds up amazingly well visually. The only way a H3A would be worthwhile is if it made gameplay changes, which nobody would want. i'd much rather the dev resources go to Halo 7, a spinoff, or even a CE reimagining that totally redoes the gameplay and level design
Halo 3 and ODST Anniversary with modern graphics (don’t change designs like everything in CEA or 2A Elites) with the return of all content along with MCC additions. For instance, Mirage armor in Anniversary multiplayer or ODST weapons in 3. I am unsure if they should bring back original Halo 3 and ODST multiplayer/Firefight but if they do then it must be cross play with MCC. Anniversary multiplayer, Forge, and Firefight should bring back everything and more. They could add things such as the ability to switch seats and aassassinations as toggleable features. They can improve Miranda’s death or have her survive for a rebooted Halo 4. Cut missions could become unlocked once the campaign is finished. Halo needs a big release that has more content than the content complete games prior to Halo 4. MCC was broken for so long (still has some worse aspects than original verisons), Halo 5 was incomplete, and Infinite was somehow more incomplete and is updated less than 5. A rebooted timeline can right the wrongs of 343’s era and can incorporate the best elements of Bungie’s plan as well as some 343 stuff. Though, Infinite should still receive support until its content complete and MCC must receive mods on console. I believe by marketing MCC mod support on console and PC, Halo 3 and ODST Anniversary (followed by a rebooted Halo 4 and onwards), and Infinite becoming content complete then Halo can be revitalized. This must be prioritized over spin-offs without the Master Chief since Steve Downes is getting older. Spin-offs can still happen but not at the expense of the rebooted Halo 4, 5, and 6.
Agreed, the lighting and environments mostly hold up but the character and weapon models look like shit. All the weapons look like they're toys and the human models have aged terribly
the only thing I ask is that they glorify Bungie's warthog, instead of using 343's. I cannot stand that they did this in H2A, it makes no sense to put gas cannisters on the back of a warthog which was designed to be shot at by plasma.
I would pay a easy 100 bucks for a super high quality anniversary edition remade with movie quality graphics. They don't have to change anything just make the graphics across the board as good as we can. The cinematic experience with the halo games was a massive reason we loved them. The story was so good I remember running through the game numerous times just to watch it like a movie. The multiple player was great fun and so was the campaign with skulls. The only thing I'd ever change would be adding sprint too the characters in all the old campaigns but otherwise leave it alone and just give it a makeover.
If 343 wants to revive halo, they need to remaster halo 3 for new gen only and improve upon everything graphically for next gen standards (raytracing, ect) and add good matchmaking with plenty of playlists off the bat, along with a good forge like infinite, and custom games. But make it play very smooth
I don’t think we really need H3A. I would however like to see more content added to MCC. In particular the rest of the Halo Online maps/content, and maps created with the mod tools like Dynamis and Homefront that where designed to adhere to the vanilla multiplayer sandbox. Would also like to see stuff for the other games like all the cut content the Digsite team is restoring. I really hope they’re working on mod support for console as well. Still tons and tons of stuff the can add to MCC. Hope they keep supporting it.
We didn't think Halo 2 needed it when Halo CE anniversary came out. So i can easily see a Halo 3 anniversary edition being a thing. With Halo infinite graphics and maybe even Unreal Engine 5.
I like to think of the story of Halo 4 and so on is set apart from the original time line which I dub the "343 Timeline" and consider everything after H3 non canon.
If they remade it with proper social integration, with the service records, the file share, it would hit like nothing else Part of the success of Halo 3 was the social aspects of it Bring back Forge, let the players create new modes and map, completely remaster the best campaign in the series with improved character and gun models and you’ve got a recipe for a perfect recreation of probably the best game ever in my mind
If you asked me a few years ago, I'd say no. But now? I'd take anything, man. So long as it's just the original game with a fresh coat of paint with no changes, I'm down.
I reckon it'd look beautiful if Halo 2 Anniversary is anything to go by and it could maybe be better given how it's the most beloved so would receive the most care. I've heard they won't do it because if it went poorly/didn't turn out well then the community backlash would be monumental. At the end of the day I'd love it to happen and if people don't like it, there's still the original there just as people remember it.
We just need a hard rating gory halo odst flood game with a whole horror shooter style campaign, a battle royal, fire fight, flood infection game type free unlock ables along with a store n bring back load outs
I love halo 3 but me personally would love to see the next generation animation they used for halo 2 anniversary used for halo 3 anniversary if it ever becomes a thing witch I hope it does
@@RobertSmith-ow5kf well, if all you're looking for is to play the same formulaic game over and over again with updated graphics then I would say that limited thinking is part of the problem. What I don't like is that if you loved an old version of a game, you could just keep playing it, whereas with multiplayer games they will fade away after a few years.
@@blaze556922 You can add stuff to the game without breaking the code mechanics. Playing the same game that exists is fine, but at a certain point classic players want new experiences too. The game built popularity in classic feel. The first three halo’s were top selling x box titles. That had not happened since. If halo MCC wasn’t butchered so badly from launch it would of had a massive following. Hell, it was not until 2019 that halo mcc came to pc and in 2 days there were 2 million downloads. The demand for a classic halo game is there. Classic halo was a niche that no other game had. Halo literally had the competitive advantage! But they gave it away to make games that quite frankly feel like a lot of other shooters I can play, and halos carbon copy just isn’t as good. Now do I trust 343 to actually make a good classic halo? Probably not. But it’s honestly the only thing that could save this franchise. All of their releases have not lived up to the expectations created by halo 1-3. Why not go back to what made the games popular? A game with a classic feel would be so different from all other games rn that it would spark interest. On top of that there are millions of people that grew up with classic halo that would love one last hurrah.
If i had to choose, I'd say I don't want a Halo 3A. But if we would get one then things I'd like are: >Include some of the cut missions and other cut content, >16ish mp maps swapping out some of the unpopular maps with either remixed versions or remake some other popular H2 maps, and expanded versions of Foundry and Sandbox as forge canvases in addition to a blank space canvas. >ALL of the H3 gamemodes with all or more configurations for them, throw in gamemodes for Invasion, Race and Total Control. >Upgraded Forge whether that be a functional version of Infinite or even just Halo 4's forge I'm ok with. >Custom games browser. >Halo 3 firefight (maybe add the unpopular H3 mp maps here lol), >keep the Halo 3 progression/ranking system >KEEP HALO 3's MAP VETO SYSTEM! >Keep the Halo 3 iconic lighting.
What a great video. It seems like such an easy win to remake Halo 3 in all its glory. Update/upscale textures, add ray tracing, forge mode+ (this should be the main focus post launch imo) Maybe better AI for the campaign and extra Easter eggs? But you really can’t forget the website to share stats + content via the photo/video modes. I still find it so hard to believe a game from my childhood had more content, care and community than AAA games today. It’s like there’s really no passion for gaming anymore.
I disagree with the comparison to counter strike, the classic games had a clear point of progression between the games, such as halo ce's minimalism, halo 2's competitiveness, and halo 3's sandbox, which was only expanded further with reach and odst, both tone and story wise. CS in comparison is known to barely change, as each sequel has been iterative: the key differences between each game, such as wallbanging in 1.6 or a streamlined competitive experience like GO through things like the overhauled buy menu. I love the gameplay loop of halo infinite, i think it nails a lot of the problems that modern halo has, but the piss poor amount of content, lack of weapon complexity (combos in the older games are still so unique to the franchise) sound effects, and T rating all detract from a product that had a lot of potential at its core. Imo a halo 3 anniversary should just be like mw2 remastered or something at launch, lowered price and just the campaign, maybe even with odst since it shares a lot of assets. At least to me, Halo was always notable for striking a balance between traditional 90s shooters and innovation, such as healthpacks or a lack of ads, and gameplay wise 343 got so close by doing things like lowering sprints effectiveness, they just missed everything else.
Resident Evil 4's story was as cheesy as Halo 3's story. But RE4 enhanced it with the remake. I want same to be done with the Halo 3 Remake. If they ever make a Halo 3 Remake, I hope it enhances the writing and characters (like prophet of truth to make him like his Halo 2 character arc), but still keeps some of the cheesy dialog. Like Miranda saying"To war" and the shipmaster saying "Then it is an even fight". Like you said, Arrash, Halo 3 Remake can be a testing ground for old school mechanics. Also it can be a testing ground for Unreal Engine 5.
If MS had any sense right now given the state of Halo, if they did a H2A treatment of Halo 3, it'd sell absolutely millions... Gamers who no longer play halo would come back and play it because of nostalgia alone and H3 is set right now for a return to form given an anniversary edition due to the general fps genre getting stale with all the 'modern mechanics' so every title feels identical. Give H3A a chance Micrsoft / 343, think of the money you'd be printing. But also - let it cook, dont bring it out unfinished and broken.
They should make Halo 3 but with a new customization system similar to Reach, with achievement based unlocks, as well with new maps and content with legacy toggles for people who only want to play the original stuff. For example, they could go the El Dewrito way and have DMR slayer as a gametype that's less common in the rotation. Or remakes of some Halo Reach maps where you have the jetpack or evade that spawns on the maps. It wouldn't be exactly like Reach due to no sprint and the armor abilities spawning as equipment, but I would love nothing more than to play on the map Uncaged with a jetpack and a BR but with Halo 3's goofy physics and movement speed and jump height.
Absolutely not. I have zero faith 343 could remake a version that wouldn't be a complete disappointment. Just imagine all the details they would leave out.
I don’t think 343 will ever do a halo 3 anniversary, they want nothing to do with any of bungies games and want to prove to everyone that they are capable of making good halo games which clearly they’re not
Favourite Halo 3 memory would probably be the first time I loaded up a multiplayer match, spawned into Guardian and was just so excited to shoot plasma and yeet nades around! That or playing Duck Hunt in customs.
I’m super nostalgic about my memories of CE through Reach but let’s just face the facts, halo as a franchise is done. Infinite was the last hope at living on in a new generation while still feeling like halo and 343 botched it
Thanks everyone for all the support lately it has been insane! Enjoy the video and let me know if you think a Halo 3 anniversary should exist?
Yes. Developed by Certain Affinity or id.

Halo 2 Anniversary had a very beautiful campaign and was very nicely done personally.
For me Halo 2 Anniversary is a true Masterpiece😅
Yeah it's def not "hit or miss" lol
IDK I hate the new visuals of both H1 and H2 anniversary, I much prefer the older graphics.
H2a has questionable graphics imo and it's still just a messed up vista port
Yeah because it wasn't done by 343i 😂😂
Imagine the remastered cutscene of Chief and Arbiter back to back against the Hivemind
I’d love to see the scene of the ring rising up in front of Chief and the Arbiter
Shit would be crazy. But that fan made one is the closest to that and it’s well made

@@nagger8216 Halo 3 is my favourite game of all time and despite going back to it each year, I find that the character models have aged terribly haha
It’s aging slower then the other games. But could 100% benefit from the anniversary treatment.
Best Halo 3 moment: When Burger was doing a Halo 3 #ad and Mountain Dew along with Slurp Cups
the only thing I ask is that they glorify Bungie's warthog, instead of using 343's. I cannot stand that they did this in H2A, it makes no sense to put gas cannisters on the back of a warthog which was designed to be shot at by plasma.
4:33 cos it is Halo 4, you can even spawn in armour abilities and it will work
I think a good solution is to just give the campaign a nice touch up. Redo cutscenes, change assets and sounds etc.
And grinding to get all the skulls for the hayabusa armor
I hope they do halo 3 is the G. O. A. T.
I would pay a easy 100 bucks for a super high quality anniversary edition remade with movie quality graphics. They don't have to change anything just make the graphics across the board as good as we can. The cinematic experience with the halo games was a massive reason we loved them. The story was so good I remember running through the game numerous times just to watch it like a movie. The multiple player was great fun and so was the campaign with skulls.
The only thing I'd ever change would be adding sprint too the characters in all the old campaigns but otherwise leave it alone and just give it a makeover.
If 343 wants to revive halo, they need to remaster halo 3 for new gen only and improve upon everything graphically for next gen standards (raytracing, ect) and add good matchmaking with plenty of playlists off the bat, along with a good forge like infinite, and custom games. But make it play very smooth
The RANKKKSS OMG Have a 50 at that time was one of the best achievements you can have
If there was to be an anniversary edition I would be most excited to see the flood infection. I need to see a proper flood transformation in high def.
I don’t think we really need H3A. I would however like to see more content added to MCC. In particular the rest of the Halo Online maps/content, and maps created with the mod tools like Dynamis and Homefront that where designed to adhere to the vanilla multiplayer sandbox. Would also like to see stuff for the other games like all the cut content the Digsite team is restoring. I really hope they’re working on mod support for console as well. Still tons and tons of stuff the can add to MCC. Hope they keep supporting it.
They are not adding Diamond back
H3A would be added to MCC
If there were to be a Halo 3 anniversary project, frankly it should just be a graphics and overlay option in MCC that you can turn on/off at any time.
Honestly, halo 3 cutscenes with halo 2 anniversary style cutscenes would be the best thing ever
We didn't think Halo 2 needed it when Halo CE anniversary came out. So i can easily see a Halo 3 anniversary edition being a thing. With Halo infinite graphics and maybe even Unreal Engine 5.
I want Halo 5 anniversary for the campaign we never had
PC port would be nice. They already ported the Forge to PC anyway.
@@_MaZTeR_ tbf I wanna try halo 5 for myself to see what made the campaign terrible, they should port it, I'll pay for it 😛
Halo 3 was my first Halo game when I was pretty young, an anniversary would be so awesome
I like to think of the story of Halo 4 and so on is set apart from the original time line which I dub the "343 Timeline" and consider everything after H3 non canon.
The 3 maps you joking said to toss out, I really hope they wouldn’t
If they remade it with proper social integration, with the service records, the file share, it would hit like nothing else
Part of the success of Halo 3 was the social aspects of it
Bring back Forge, let the players create new modes and map, completely remaster the best campaign in the series with improved character and gun models and you’ve got a recipe for a perfect recreation of probably the best game ever in my mind
If you asked me a few years ago, I'd say no. But now? I'd take anything, man. So long as it's just the original game with a fresh coat of paint with no changes, I'm down.
I reckon it'd look beautiful if Halo 2 Anniversary is anything to go by and it could maybe be better given how it's the most beloved so would receive the most care.
I've heard they won't do it because if it went poorly/didn't turn out well then the community backlash would be monumental.
At the end of the day I'd love it to happen and if people don't like it, there's still the original there just as people remember it.
Does it need? Perhaps not. Does it deserve? Absolutely yes.
We just need a hard rating gory halo odst flood game with a whole horror shooter style campaign, a battle royal, fire fight, flood infection game type free unlock ables along with a store n bring back load outs
Standoff is one of my favorite maps, and is iconic to a lot of forge gamemodes too. Getting rid of it would be a huge mistake
I love halo 3 but me personally would love to see the next generation animation they used for halo 2 anniversary used for halo 3 anniversary if it ever becomes a thing witch I hope it does
Yes yes and yes! Many feel this was the pinnacle of gaming but I'd say Reach was the best.
Reach was the downfall of halo. It wasn’t a bad game. But it strayed too far away from the formula
@@RobertSmith-ow5kf well, if all you're looking for is to play the same formulaic game over and over again with updated graphics then I would say that limited thinking is part of the problem. What I don't like is that if you loved an old version of a game, you could just keep playing it, whereas with multiplayer games they will fade away after a few years.

You can add stuff to the game without breaking the code mechanics. Playing the same game that exists is fine, but at a certain point classic players want new experiences too. The game built popularity in classic feel. The first three halo’s were top selling x box titles. That had not happened since. If halo MCC wasn’t butchered so badly from launch it would of had a massive following. Hell, it was not until 2019 that halo mcc came to pc and in 2 days there were 2 million downloads. The demand for a classic halo game is there. Classic halo was a niche that no other game had. Halo literally had the competitive advantage! But they gave it away to make games that quite frankly feel like a lot of other shooters I can play, and halos carbon copy just isn’t as good.
Now do I trust 343 to actually make a good classic halo? Probably not. But it’s honestly the only thing that could save this franchise. All of their releases have not lived up to the expectations created by halo 1-3. Why not go back to what made the games popular? A game with a classic feel would be so different from all other games rn that it would spark interest. On top of that there are millions of people that grew up with classic halo that would love one last hurrah.
All it would need is the return of 2v2v2v2 along with the ability to refill a slot if someone quits and it would be an 11/10 game in my books.
If i had to choose, I'd say I don't want a Halo 3A.
But if we would get one then things I'd like are:
>Include some of the cut missions and other cut content,
>16ish mp maps swapping out some of the unpopular maps with either remixed versions or remake some other popular H2 maps, and expanded versions of Foundry and Sandbox as forge canvases in addition to a blank space canvas.
>ALL of the H3 gamemodes with all or more configurations for them, throw in gamemodes for Invasion, Race and Total Control.
>Upgraded Forge whether that be a functional version of Infinite or even just Halo 4's forge I'm ok with.
>Custom games browser.
>Halo 3 firefight (maybe add the unpopular H3 mp maps here lol),
>keep the Halo 3 progression/ranking system
>KEEP HALO 3's MAP VETO SYSTEM!
>Keep the Halo 3 iconic lighting.
Only reason not to do this is that they will probably fuck it up.
Mabey for the campaign
What a great video. It seems like such an easy win to remake Halo 3 in all its glory. Update/upscale textures, add ray tracing, forge mode+ (this should be the main focus post launch imo)
Maybe better AI for the campaign and extra Easter eggs?
But you really can’t forget the website to share stats + content via the photo/video modes.
I still find it so hard to believe a game from my childhood had more content, care and community than AAA games today. It’s like there’s really no passion for gaming anymore.
if every old halo gets a facelift like halo 2 anniversary the world would solve world hunger but it is very expensive so idk if it’ll ever be done
Wow I didn't know Halo 3 Anniversary was in the works, thanks for the Halo news update once again!
Its not.
@@PastryMagicYT wooooosh
I want to see remastered 'Believe' trailers
Fully fledged forge mode in H3 would be awesome
God yes, the ability to do what we can in halo 5 and infinite with halo 3 maps would be awesome.
I disagree with the comparison to counter strike, the classic games had a clear point of progression between the games, such as halo ce's minimalism, halo 2's competitiveness, and halo 3's sandbox, which was only expanded further with reach and odst, both tone and story wise. CS in comparison is known to barely change, as each sequel has been iterative: the key differences between each game, such as wallbanging in 1.6 or a streamlined competitive experience like GO through things like the overhauled buy menu. I love the gameplay loop of halo infinite, i think it nails a lot of the problems that modern halo has, but the piss poor amount of content,
lack of weapon complexity (combos in the older games are still so unique to the franchise) sound effects, and T rating all detract from a product that had a lot of potential at its core. Imo a halo 3 anniversary should just be like mw2 remastered or something at launch, lowered price and just the campaign, maybe even with odst since it shares a lot of assets. At least to me, Halo was always notable for striking a balance between traditional 90s shooters and innovation, such as healthpacks or a lack of ads, and gameplay wise 343 got so close by doing things like lowering sprints effectiveness, they just missed everything else.
As someone who barely plays multiplayer, h2a was absolutely perfect. The blur cutscenes are peak halo.
It can also bring back many people 343 pushed away with their mishaps.
Resident Evil 4's story was as cheesy as Halo 3's story. But RE4 enhanced it with the remake. I want same to be done with the Halo 3 Remake.
If they ever make a Halo 3 Remake, I hope it enhances the writing and characters (like prophet of truth to make him like his Halo 2 character arc), but still keeps some of the cheesy dialog. Like Miranda saying"To war" and the shipmaster saying "Then it is an even fight".
Like you said, Arrash, Halo 3 Remake can be a testing ground for old school mechanics. Also it can be a testing ground for Unreal Engine 5.
The debates of having sprint or not is the dumbest debate ever known
If MS had any sense right now given the state of Halo, if they did a H2A treatment of Halo 3, it'd sell absolutely millions... Gamers who no longer play halo would come back and play it because of nostalgia alone and H3 is set right now for a return to form given an anniversary edition due to the general fps genre getting stale with all the 'modern mechanics' so every title feels identical.
Give H3A a chance Micrsoft / 343, think of the money you'd be printing.
But also - let it cook, dont bring it out unfinished and broken.
I'd be happy with a halo 3 remake if they fixed the god awful bullet mechanics and net code.
They should make Halo 3 but with a new customization system similar to Reach, with achievement based unlocks, as well with new maps and content with legacy toggles for people who only want to play the original stuff.
For example, they could go the El Dewrito way and have DMR slayer as a gametype that's less common in the rotation. Or remakes of some Halo Reach maps where you have the jetpack or evade that spawns on the maps. It wouldn't be exactly like Reach due to no sprint and the armor abilities spawning as equipment, but I would love nothing more than to play on the map Uncaged with a jetpack and a BR but with Halo 3's goofy physics and movement speed and jump height.
Don't forget it HAS to have splitscreen supoort. 343 has fumbled that bag time and time again.
For me I hope another studio creates 3 odst war and reach anniversary that are all improvements and respectful to the og
Halo 3 does NOT need a remaster.
Absolutely not. I have zero faith 343 could remake a version that wouldn't be a complete disappointment. Just imagine all the details they would leave out.
I don’t think 343 will ever do a halo 3 anniversary, they want nothing to do with any of bungies games and want to prove to everyone that they are capable of making good halo games which clearly they’re not
fav memory is when i got recon armor at 10 years old, i felt like a god.
I just want a good halo again without loot boxes
All Halo 3 needs is remastered Cutscenes and some updated character models. Graphic wise it’s aged beautifully
For forge it would be cool if maps could be imported from infinite into the halo 3 remake
In my opinion it doesn't need to, but it would be amazing just to add the upgraded graphics
343 should just add an anniversary mode to MCC and allow you to switch between classic and anniversary graphics like you can with CE and 2.
Favourite Halo 3 memory would probably be the first time I loaded up a multiplayer match, spawned into Guardian and was just so excited to shoot plasma and yeet nades around! That or playing Duck Hunt in customs.
I always thought that Halo 3 had good enough graphics and sound that it just doesn't need a remaster to begin with.
Of course it needs it! Definitely would love this 😊
abso freakin lutely it does. Halo 3 and runescape was the pinnacle of my child hood, i still play runescape but nobody plays halo3 anymore :(
I don't think it absolutely needs it but if it got one and they did it right it would be so good.
Yes, or at least just get blur to redo cutscenes
I’m super nostalgic about my memories of CE through Reach but let’s just face the facts, halo as a franchise is done. Infinite was the last hope at living on in a new generation while still feeling like halo and 343 botched it
