Trouble is that the original level design and gameplay is incredibly dated.
It'll be like putting lipstick on a pig and expecting a supermodel.
Oblivion remastered just felt so dated when I replayed it, that I couldn't manage more than a few hours. Was just living off the nostalgia factor alone.

I remember Halo Anniversary feeling the same, once you got used to the new graphics it was just Halo again.

The gameplay loop was pretty good in the first game, but the level design was dire compared to other shooters at the time, and especially when compared to the goats of the 90s.
MP is what worked well with Halo. As a single player FPS game, it wouldn't even crack my top ten. Half-Life, Blood, Duke, DOOM, RtcW, MoH all wipe the floor with Halo.

And they put running on the game, but there's parts that are meant to be walking... Either they expand the map or recreate, still, the direction is changing and doesn't sound good

Imagine working on a game 26 years ago and then all this time later, random nobodies are working in an official capacity to bastardize your work of art for money under the pretenses that your work was somehow incomplete and insufficient. I'd be upset.

I'm retarded?
Money, money never changes.

Yeah, these old games don't need remasters, they need full on remakes - or better yet just do a new game in a new IP.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Fallout 4 broke people on Bethesda and you either still love them or all the cracks started to show and you can't go back.
Oblivion could've still worked if they didn't totally wreck the art style - it lost all of it's charm and became grimey and juxtaposed with it's soundtrack it's so bizarre walking around with these beautiful & blissful tracks in a dark world. Just my 2c. Didn't work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Please let this be good, it's one of my favorite games of all time. The levels are a little dated in terms of how may corridor encounters there are, but going back through the levels is something I actually enjoyed (minus the library) and was something different than the norm. There are so many opportunities to modernize that approach, hopefully they get it right.

I heard it was supposed to be out this summer, but that was just rumor. I'm guessing it won't be out that soon, just based on how things sound (e.g., we're talking about who's handling the campaign redesign?).
Not sure if I want to replay it. I enjoyed the original very much, but when I tried to replay it as part of the MCC, I found myself kind of bored. I got tired of shooting the grunts and the wort worts. That might not be a reflection of Halo, though. I just got burned out on FPS games years ago and have never recovered my interest.

More concerned with their initial demo showing less interactivity with the AI during the firefights. Including sticking an grenade on one, and they didn't even really react just kept charging towards you.
Just hoping that's a byproduct of an early build showing the game, and not what we end up with.

But who is this remake for though?
Original fans aren't going to like the modern changes like sprint, UE5 graphics, and inevitable changes to the weapons, and sandbox elements, and this mythical "modern audience" that doesn't exist aren't going to care because it isn't a direct clone of Fortnite, Call of Duty, or Battlefield. Even if this audience existed of I what I have to assume are Gen Zs or Gen Alphas, they already have a shitton of other MP games to play; why would they bother with a Halo game that originally came out before they were swimming in their father's nutsack?
If these people actually cared about Halo, they've had almost 25 fucking years to play either the original when it came out, the first remaster, the MCC, not including all the other games, comic books, novels, and other media about the IP that's already out there. There isn't going to be this massive influx of PS or even Xbox owners that's going to suddenly jump ship because these no name devs want to make a sloppy remake that doesn't look, plays, or resembles the original in any way except for having the name attached. Just like how Gears of War didn't move the franchise into thie "bright new era", I seriously doubt this will do anything.
