Trolls will be trolls.
I'm pretty excited to play through the campaign again, but I'm disappointed if the MP is just a Reach map pack, and I was kind of hoping for 4-player split-screen.
Still, sounds awesome!

Everyone loves GoldenEye because they played it when they were 8-13 years old, and loved any game that let them kill people. At the time, it was fun, but have you played GoldenEye now? Compared to even the most mediocre dual-stick shooter it compares horribly. The gameplay is sluggish, clunky, and obsolete.
When Halo came out it got dual-stick shooting right, and anyone who argues against that is flat out wrong. I have fantastic memories of when GoldenEye game out because it was undeniably fun, but I have better memories of when Combat Evolved came out because the gameplay with a dual-stick setup was simply better. GoldenEye is not better than Combat Evolved.

"Goldeneye is not better than Combat Evolved."
Sir, I commend you on your tremendous balls. Prepare to be trolled, but seriously, I couldn't agree more (Let the record state that I DO love Goldeneye, though).
On topic, Halo: CE is also in my top five games of all time, DEAL WITH IT. No shooter, not even Goldeneye, gave me as many memories and awesome times as the original Halo did. i will be buying the shit out of this, and loving every second of the re-mastered campaign. Why anyone would have a problem with that is beyond me. I'm looking forward to what 343i can do with the Halo franchise.

I was extremely excited for the way they were preserving the original experience until I found out that they're removing all the Marathon references. Seriously? I'm sure Bungie wouldn't mind. I'm not holding my breath of "Siege of Madrigal" either. C'mon, Microsoft, those were part of the experience!
I still have the original Halo for the PC. I haven't popped it in since I got my new computer -- I may have to give that a shot now. I still think the first game was the best out of the main three.
And by "old school" multiplayer I hope you mean NO matchmaking. I've never played a single game where matchmaking even kind of works.
Yeah, classic multiplayer = a must. Really to ship it without would be just absolutely moronic.
Also, I guess MS learned their lesson from the overpriced ODST, but $40 seems like they want to appeal to the fans but are torn between that and profit... $30 seems more reasonable to me, but I don't know about how difficult a project this is so I can't say... if they remastered all the maps $40 would be very reasonable. I hope chill out is there, but with more Cold Storage like geometry, favorite H3 map ever.

@MCBattery:
The difference between Sony's remastered collection and Halo CEA is that Halo not only features higher resolution textures of the original game (ala God of War), it also has another mode with new visuals that bring it up to par with other games from this generation.
It's not really a remake; more like Star Wars: Special Edition.
Sony collections look nice, but they are just adding the uncompressed textures where possible.

"...the original Halo is in my top five games of all time. I'm however not giddy with anticipation, at least not until 343 confirms the inclusion of old school multiplayer over Xbox Live. That's when I'll be excited."
Amen brother.
If you ever had the full 8 v 8 with 4 Xboxs in your basement playing this multiplayer, you know the truth. The most fun I've ever had gaming. Period.

My anticipation for Anniversary dropped to 0 when 343 said that the multiplayer was just going to be the old maps added to Reach. Halo 1 had far the best multi of the series, the audience wants that.
I'm disappointed about the lack of multiplayer. I think they're scared that too many people would jump ship from Reach (and eventually Halo 4) and just play Halo:CE online. I would! Halo:CE has my favorite multiplayer of all time. It's a glaring ommission, but I understand why they did it.
Gosh, I can't stand anymore Halo games! I own a 360 and don't think Halo is THAT good. Oh, well, Gears of War 3 is coming to save me from male PMS.
@Rammstein: Ugh, not another one of you Goldeneye-worshipping morons. I thought those had all died of old age by now.
Glad I'm not the only one! I was excited to hear the game is the exact same engine, but when they said multiplayer was on the Halo Reach engine I damn near broke my computer.
I still believe the Halo CE multiplayer to be the best, but if I can play it, what the hell is the point?
That being said, I'll get this just so I can play the campaign again, yes I still have my orgional game, but it's useless on the 360, and fits of rage playing Halo 2 (F**king tracking rockets) resulted in all my orgional xbox controllers being broken.
