There isn't any Halo: CE multiplayer in Halo: CE Anniversary, right?

There's a few remade maps included for Reach, but they already did Blood Gulch when Reach was released.

[–]Krazy4Karma[S] 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No it has a download code included to play the maps on reach as well as an in-game multiplayer that only lets you play the 6 new maps. As far as I can tell, if you want to play Blood Gulch (or rather, the forge world derivative) you have to buy reach.

Also that reminds me, I have dupes of the Spartan Armour avatar code if anyone wants them.

[–]FourMakesTwoUNLESS 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You can sell your Map Pack code for around $10 on eBay. I'd do that if you don't have Reach. You can still play the maps on your Halo AE disk.

one new firefight map included with anniversary yes, along with the other multiplayer maps.

anniversary was never intended to be a competitive multiplayer game. it is a celebration of the campaign that launched one of the most successful game franchises of the last decade.

So let me get this straight...You want to play a remake of Blood Gultch, which they did a year ago. Since they didn't do it now though when you asked, you don't want to cough up the money?

Right, I can't access that on my Halo Anniversary disc though. Do I have to buy reach to play a remake of a map that should've been included in the remake of the game it originally appeared in?

That sounds condescending, sorry. I'm a little confused with the Halo MP interface at the moment.

[–]Gashnor 26 points27 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Their theory was "If it's already on the Xbox 360 to play, let's not remake it." Honestly, I'd LOVE to see a playlist of ALL the remakes we have.

Blood Gulch (Hemorrhage) Ivory Tower (Reflection) Sanctuary (Asylum) Ascension (Pinnacle, INCLUDE A BANSHEE THOUGH) Beaver Creek Damnation Prisoner Timberland Headlong (Still haven't got a match in this classic, though, sadly) Hang 'Em High

Unfortunately, the game was already 7.5 GB, so this playlist would REQUIRE Reach and the maps code downloaded. I really wish they would have thought it out a little better, I agree.

[–]apple-facedGOON 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm sorry but banshee on ascension was the worst thing ever. It breaks the core slayer emphasis on skill vs skill in a map where its too easy to fly around hiding from the counter weapons below the cliff edge. Maye it would be different with the changes in Reach but I have a deep underlying hatred for the banshee in non vehicle centered gametypes.

[–]GuardianReflex 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Having played a great deal of every iteration and version of Halo's games, I do understand peoples desire to replay classics in an updated form, but honestly at a certain point you have to consider that it would be far less progressive for them to remake every single map, and I think they have done a great job with the ones they did remake. And to fill in the gaps they implemented Reach's vastly improved forge mode for players to make their remakes.

To me the remaking of Halo is interesting and cool but if 343 expects Halo to remain a series people take seriously they need to innovate on the formula and refine what made previous games great; and they need to release titles on PC again in a proper fashion, not porting an old title and make it exclusive to their publishers new operating system.

Are Reach maps playable/importable into Halo CE?

I ask because I haven't touched the series since the 2nd game, but I do kinda want to get Halo Anniversary Ed. It would suck if the map is not avaliable in Halo Anniversary, even if it's been remade in every previous game.

[–]CookieMan0 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Here's the menu format for CEA:

Campaign, Reach Multiplayer (more on that later), Extras, and Halo Waypoint

The Reach MP runs off of the Reach engine, but a huge title update has added certain special gametypes with more 'traditional' settings. These gametypes can be played on any maps, if that's what you're asking. The only maps that come with CEA, however, are the 7 maps that are the remakes. I'm pretty sure other DLC (Noble, Defiant) isn't usable with the CEA disc.

And if you're asking about remakes that aren't studio-made, there are tons of community remakes on the file system, although Forge World doesn't come on the CEA disc.

[–]ICanTrollToo 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thanks for the well-informed response!

It sounds like the long and the short of it is no Blood Gulch for people who just have CEA (as will be the case with me) until MS inevitably releases it as DLC, since Forge World is not supported by CEA?

[–]CookieMan0 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Reach can be bought used fairly cheaply. To my knowledge, map packs aren't compatible with CEA, so even a map pack wouldn't make Blood Gulch entirely available. But since it's in Forge World, we won't be seeing it in a map pack.

[–]unhh 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, you have to own Reach to play any remakes that don't come in the Anniversary map pack.

[–]toddybear 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Buying Halo: CEA is like buying a updated version of the first campaign with an extra reach map pack. Blood Gulch is already in reach. And there are even closer remakes to the original if you search the file share. No sense in remaking a map that is already in the game you're playing.

That's what people don't understand. Multiplayer maps are played in reach, the campaign has simply been over layed with updated graphics. And in all honesty, both the new multiplayer and the updated campaign are pretty damn good

[–]ZapActions-dower 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't understand how people could not know this. It's all over the place. In any demo or anything it clearly states it.

[–]hamlet9000 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think the vast majority of these complaints could have been avoided by simply including the previously converted H:CE multiplayer maps in H:CEA.

You'd probably still have some people grumbling about using the Reach engine for multiplayer (because there's always assholes), but you wouldn't have people wondering why they need to buy a separate game in order to get the complete set of content from the original H:CE.

Damning evidence for anybody who claims that DLC is merely extra content, that you can choose to add to the original, "full" game. I can see the corporate meeting now.

"How can we release DLC for a remake? It wouldn't make any sense to add new content to an old game." "Fuck it, we'll just take half of it out and make them pay if they want it back" "Brilliant! Ka-ching!!!"

[–]RaptorJesusDesu 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yup, Blood Gulch is the perfect "hype trailer" material for a DLC. Being the quintessential old Halo map that it is, its absence can only mean they want to profit off that shit

[–]FourMakesTwoUNLESS 25 points26 points ago

[–]gyrorobo 12 points13 points ago

I can see why they didn't put it in Halo:CE anniversary, it was literally just remade about 1 year ago in Reach. Some people just complain to complain really.

[–]JediExile 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Multiplayer in Halo:CEA is strictly on Reach servers, with the Reach engine. I can pretty much guarantee that if you played Halo:CE maps with Reach armor abilities and weapons, you would instantly hate it. Hemorrhage was created to be the closest spiritual successor possible to Blood Gulch that would balance with the new Reach game mechanics.

[–]jeffesaurusrex 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's remade with every new Halo game. It doesn't make any fucking sense that when the rerelease the original game that debuted the map, that it is the only game NOT to include a version of it. The only way it would make sense is if they planned on giving the finger to their customers and offering it as DLC in a couple months for 15 bucks.

[–]Grave_OfThe_Illumise 4 points5 points ago

Anniversary's multiplayer runs on Reach servers, and Reach came with Blood Gulch.

[–]nesagwa 2 points3 points ago

It basically just IS Reach. Even the achievements for those maps in CE show up as Reach achievements and the maps are all available to download for Reach.

[–]jeffesaurusrex 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wait, is the Anniversary edition like ODST was, where it came with a multiplayer disc that had the new maps, but you could also play on the old ones as well?

[–]gyrorobo 1 point2 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I am not joking at all when I say it would be IDENTICAL to Reach's Hemorrhage. Halo CE: Anniversary does not have it's own multiplayer. When you click multiplayer, it takes you to Reach's menu and you play off Reach's servers. There is no overpowered pistol like there was in the old multiplayer, no old weapons, no nothing. IT IS REACH'S MULTIPLAYER, WITH THE SAME REACH WEAPONS, WITH HALO CE MAPS.

Edit: Apparently there are servers for the CE maps were they tweak the damage to make it feel more like CE.

It felt so different. The man-cannons altered the flow of the map a lot. And it seemed smaller. And the took out those big rocks near the bases. And they changed the base layouts. The only thing they kept was the U-shape.

Yeah, the remake really wasn't the same. All the human vehicles got a cool snow camo, and it was still one of the best maps in Halo 3. It just was't the same as Sidewinder.

I thought it was decently epic, it just kinda sucked that you knew you were going to die at the end. I commend them for taking the risk of an unorthodox ending, but it still wasn't very satisfying.

Also I suppose the fact that you are working with a team of Spartans does lessen the feeling of supreme demi-deity status you get with Master Chief, true.

but the halo CE multiplayer wasn't designed for internet play (only LAN, it's a latency thing) and that could have potentially splintered the multiplayer community.

There's no point in further dividing the community

They said something about that 1. it would be very hard to transition the original multiplayer to xbox live, and 2. They wanted to contribute to what was already there rather than create a new multiplayer for everybody to play 1 year after another came out. I have mixed feeling with their decisions, on one hand, I can understand, but I also wish that they did bring the original multiplayer back.

It's still out there. They just finished the ninth season on Monday. You should really check it out, but don't just jump ahead to the newest stuff out, because you will be really, really lost.

they probably count "hemorrhage" as the blood gulch map. You're supposed to be able to import your Reach profile over so you'd technically have blood gulch.

[–]robc89 19 points20 points ago

If you actually expected Blood Gulch to be in this game you know nothing about what this game was promised to be. It is single-player only with a mappack for Reach, and it is absolutely stunning. They did an amazing job at recreating the visuals for the single player.

Maybe next time actually look at what the game is supposed to be before assuming something about it.

its already in the game, its hemorrage on halo reach, its the halo CE bases with Halo 2's geography

[–]jeremyjack33 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Theres already a version of blood gulch in Reach, and they're using reach's engine for the MP.

I'm pissed they didn't include CE multiplayer. Let the downvotes commence but reach sucks. They turned the multiplayer on its head and moved so far away from what made halo great- its simplicity and symmetrical balance. I'm all for changing up gameplay, but a developer should stick to the fundamental mechanics and balance that you're shooter is known for, or else you'll lose your niche.

[–]OneFinalEffort 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's in Reach. DUH!

Hemorrhage takes the actual geographical map of Coagulation from Halo 2, the bases from Halo: CE, and the power of Forge and melds them together. Why the fuck would I want them to remake a map Bungie already remade?

Anniversary Maps:

  • Beaver Creek (Halo, Halo 2)
  • Damnation (Halo)
  • Hang 'em High (Halo, Halo 2)
  • Headlong (Halo 2)
  • Prisoner (Halo)
  • Timberland (Halo PC)
  • Installation 04 (Based on encounter in the level "Halo" from CE retooled for Firefight)

no one seems to remember that "beaver creek" was "battle creek" in h1

[–]ZapActions-dower 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was so confused the first time I heard someone say "Beaver Creek." I never played that map in Halo 2 as I never owned it. I've always just known it as Battle Creek. And the weirdest part is that most of my family lives in a suburb of Dayton called Beavercreek, so it was really strange.

Does the CE stand for combat evolved or custom edition? Because custom edition was the shit.

Combat Evolved. This one is Combat Evolved Anniversary.

So are the other maps the originals or the shitty re-makes they did? If Hang 'Em High isn't what it was 10 years ago I do not want this game anymore..

[–]ZapActions-dower 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They have High Noon, which is the faithful remake of Hang 'Em High, and they also have a modified version optimized for armor abilities and whatnot.

[–]lovick 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To all who seem to think that it's not in the game because it was just in Reach: It wasn't Hemmorage ≠ Blood Gulch. They look only remotely similar, and play completely differently. And considering the amount of nostalgia people are guaranteed to get from playing the original version of the map again, I can see no logical reason for it not being in the game.

[–]DrascaL 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Pretty sure its not there because hemmorage is meant to be the new version of blood gluch.

I don't know why someone would buy Halo: CEA without already having Reach.

[–]Bymec 0 points1 point ago

Because I want to play the campaign in hi-def?

[–]ZapActions-dower 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's a good enough reason as any. But my point is that I think most people interested enough in Halo as a franchise to buy Halo: CEA have likely already purchased Reach.

[–]textanddrive 0 points1 point ago

Because Reach represents the late term abortion of the Halo franchise.

It is in reach... CEA, is not for the multiplayer. It is a remake of the campaign. That is why it was only $40 instead of 60

Blood Gulch was remade down to the last dot and it was called Hemorrhage. It's on the main set of maps on Reach, go check it out now.

Maybe I'm not understanding this. But why does Reach matter one bit? This is suppose to be the original Halo with updated graphics right? Well the original Halo had Blood Gulch, so why doesn't the anniversary version have it?

There is a map exactly like this on Reach multiplayer. Sure it has some added rocks and hills, but it is the same map. Stop your bitching about something that is in the game.

[–]AdrianHD 0 points1 point ago

Coagulation was more enjoyable.

Sidewinder is missing too, which blows. I love that they incorporated the maps into Reach though, Halo 2 > Halo: Reach > Halo: CE in terms of multiplayer.

But sweet, SWEET Headlong makes up for both of those losses.

Sidewinder was remade as Avalance in Halo 3. They only remade maps that did not have a remake anywhere on the 360.

I don't know what you just said. Regardless, Blood Gulch was remade in Reach already, and the multiplayer part of Halo: CEA is just a map pack for Reach.
