According to reports from the next issue of GamesMaster, Microsoft's newly formed Halo studio, 343 Industries, is working on a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved for Xbox 360.

Reports suggest that the game will run on the Halo: Reach engine and should see a release sometime before a Halo 3 sequel is released in late 2012. The release could celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Halo franchise, which will take place in November 2011.

Halo: Reach was Bungie's last game in the series, and since then Microsoft has appointed 343 Industries as the developers of the franchise going forward.

Would you be interested in going back to the past with a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved?

That would be cool to go back to where it all started. I definitely would play the remake.

I've been waiting for this news ever since the 360 came out.

Where it all started was the PC, so they're obviously not going all the way back.

That is the truth Hero. Are they ever going to make a Halo game on PC anymore?

I hope they do. When I said "where it all started" I meant story/time line, not the litteral sense of what system I played it on.

I've been itching to play the first one again for a while, but apparently it doesn't work with the HDMI input, you have to use the dual-skart thing as it can't be played in HD or something.

Or at least that's what my brother tells me, as he's tried to play the first one again. I'd definitely buy a full-priced re-make though.

I seriously hope they really go "back", to the PC. Crap, I'd love to see Halo: Combat Evolved, Evolved or something like that. Especially maps like the SP Silent Cartographer! :D
