For those who want to relive the Halo experience they had on the initial Xbox/PC release of the game or alternatively been tempted to try out the game but wanted to start from the beginning – now is the chance as the iconic game series of the Xbox console, Halo has received a HD port of the original game to celebrate the games tenth anniversary.
Bonnie Ross, general manager of 343 Industries had this to say “Halo has made an indelible impact on gaming and pop culture over the past ten years. Whether you’ve followed the story from the beginning or want to experience it for the first time, ‘Halo: Anniversary’ offers everyone a chance to relive the iconic classic before they embark on a brand new adventure with Master Chief next year in ‘Halo 4.”
Dan Ayoub, executive producer of publishing for 343 Industries had this to say ”As a studio, we’re incredibly thankful for the enthusiasm and support our fans have shown for this project. We know many of them have been waiting years for a remake of the original ‘Halo,’ so we’re elated to deliver a faithful remastering of the original classic that breathes new life into the legendary adventure.”
This game was developed by 343 Industries and contains many of the features that made this game what it is today – the original (but remastered) Halo campaign and a “best of” multiplayer maps. Also included are some new additions such as six re-imagined multiplayer maps, a classic graphics mode, achievements, Kinect and 3D support and countless other features. In order to celebrate the anniversary of the game, Microsoft and 343 Industries have also unveiled a web monument to Master Chief, where you can upload your pictures of ‘Halo Memories’ which will mosaic to form a 3D image of the iconic character.
