Is the Halo Anniversary remake okay to start out on? Or should I try and get a copy of the original game? Any major differences?

Halo Anniversary is fine, if not how 'remakes' should be done. Suped up graphics and sound (with the original offering as an option) and the original physics/gameplay underneath and some added information "Terminals" through out the game world offering more lore/back story.
Personally, I'd say start with Reach for the sake of chronology. The only downside to this is you have to go from Bungie's last offering gameplay wise to their first.
I'm actually kinda jelly right now as you're in for a right treat - enjoy!

Party Splits in MM, cmon Shishka!
omg party splitting. I forgot about that
Anniversary is fine but don't play the multiplayer on it (It's Reach's) then go to 2 then 3 and so on.

SWAT on Halo 4 is so much better than this.
But Team Slayer in 3 seems better than TS in 4. Strange.

Swat was always bad.

Reach SWAT and Halo 4 SWAT are fantastic.
If you like game types that take little to no effort, then yeah.
Playing this again tonight reminds me of a time when winning involved a co-ordinated team and some skill. A time before Armor Lock... before Grenade Danger Indicators, Ordnance, Loadouts and Perks.
A game with many amazing multiplayer maps on it's disc and when Map Packs were eventually given away for nothing.
The days and nights spent in Forge, remaking maps from 1 and 2, or creating crazy new gametypes for me and my friends, with whom I could relive past glories in Theater Mode from multiple camera angles and/or slow motion.
A time when Warthogs handled like Warthogs should, and didn't randomly float up-side down like wafers in a wind tunnel. With a kick-ass Campaign that had Scoring and Scarabs.
It was glorious.
R.I.P Halo.
You will not be forgotten.

Even the menu is epic. Can't say the same for Halo 4.
Ah geez. Looking through my old photobucket galleries is making me want to borrow a 360 from someone.
I think it's also the Halo where the Spartans looked the best. After this they got chunkified and accessorized, and the clean, strong lines that defined their profiles were lost.

Maybe it's a stealth test to get people ready for a return to form in Halo 5.

Can you earn EXP in social?
I want that Spartan Officer achievement.

I don't like there chances against Scherzer and Verlander if it comes to that.

How many gigs? I need to make some space on the ol' HD.

About 6GB.
Crow's Nest?!?
With arguably the best encounter in the game?
You motherfucker.
Different strokes.
The game is 5.72 gb but my HDD wouldn't allow the download even with 8.7 gb available. It would only download for me once I had 10 gb of free space. Makes no sense and maybe it's just an issue I was having, I still have 4 gb free now after downloading Halo 3.

Sent an invite.
Hey where is that picture from? That looks like something I would do and armor I would wear. Even has my orange strip and I can almost make out my marathon emblem too.
Old HaloGAF customs I think

Hmm weird, I've encountered that issue on PS3s before, but not on le Xbox.
Maybe Halo 3 is packaged slightly differently. Probably not, probably a general issue.

God the memories of all the fun. If I still had gold I'd so be playing with everyone. Halo 3 was insanely fun online. While I wasn't a huge fan of the equipment I find it a hell of a lot better then armor abilities. I enjoyed the hell out of the maps too. God I really do miss The early days of the Halo franchise. The first 3 games really were some of the most fun I ever had playing online. Hell I still occasionally play 1 & 2 online on the PC due to how damn fun they were.

Is it trying to guarantee you have space for save games or something?
