Fans of Master Chief prepare to get your pants wet with sheer excitement.  A remake of the game that put Halo on the path to taking over the world is officially being remade for the Xbox 360 and will be releasing on November 15, 2011 which happens to be exactly ten years since the release of the original.

Saber Interactive who is responsible for Time Shift,  is taking over the reigns of the remake.  Halo CE will be getting a full visual overhaul supporting 1080p and 3D televisions as well as new art assets will be added.  It has also been announced that Halo CE will not be a product of the Reach engine.

No other major details have been released since the announcement.

I can't believe it's already been ten years since this came out. I feel old.

123, I feel old now as well.

I was 16 when that game came out, lol.

Let's just say I'm 19 now, will be 20 by the time game comes out if it really does come this year. Just put that into perspective.

Although, I never was a big halo 1 guy, Im pretty interested in this although gears 3 will be number 1 this holiday season in my eyes.

I'm definitely gonna pick this up. I was 8 when the original came out. Halo CE was the only Halo I fully enjoyed, so this is a must buy for me.

You two just made me feel a bit old

Nothing intentional.

Although, I really wonder if they can pull this off, it's risky business. I don't believe Microsoft has ever done a remake of an AAA title. One game that would be cool to being back would be NFL Fever.

I wonder what it will be like playing the end without all that lag while your driving the warthog lol

I'm a bit nervous about it because Saber Interactive is doing it. Makes me really nervous:unsure:

Time Shift, sucked...right?

Yeah.........that's why I'm a bit "uh oh" about it.

I was 17, it's been that long, and I liked Time Shift? Sooo. I'm optimistic and feeling old.

TimeShift wasn't that bad at all. Could have used a better story and some more polish, but it had some good game mechanics with the time travel. Doesn't matter what the studio it is though, I'd only ever want Bungie to remake their own older Halo titles (and I'd rather they focus on new projects anyways, as I don't see them needing remakes), so yeah.

And I believe I was 11 when Halo 1 came out, but I didn't really play 1 or 2 until a few years later.

Hopefully it's nothing more then a paint job.

Hopefully it's nothing more then a paint job.

Yeah, really hope it's a Perfect Dark like remake, with just better graphics and up to date functionality(online), and specifically for online, NO MATCHMAKING. It's what's always drove me away from the Halo games, after loving Halo CE' PC port.

wow i was 10 when halo first came out, think i was 11 when i finally got to play it. certainly does not feel like i got hooked on halo that long ago. 5 years max, where the hell did time go?

Awesome, looking forward to this.

12 when the game came out... lol

Be interesting to see how this turns out.

Does anybody else find this as an alarming trend? Re-making/Updating of old games just to cash in on their popularity. I've even fallen victim to this with the Sly Cooper Collection and the upcoming Ico/Shadow of the Collossus re-makes on the PS3. I dunno, just seems wrong to me. Are there no more original ideas for these companies to throw money at?

I like the trend as long as they are priced accordingly. Especially in the case of preparing for a new game. Such as BGE 2.

a remake is a remake....

it will never realy be Halo CE.

and like a few, im jsut hoping its a new paintjob and better engine.... *tried playing halo CE a while back... the game mechanics and physics sucks balls*

It won't be the same without the giant controller....

Big green X marks the spot?
