You can get some approximations right now.
To see Halo 3 with better spatial sampling, take a screenshot.
To see Halo 3 at 60fps, go to theatre mode and fast-forward in a graphically-wimpy view while nothing is happening.

This is certainly tempting.
Although it makes me wonder what they will do 3 years down the line for Halo 3.

Don't know what happened to the rest of my message. May have clicked on the wrong tab heh
But yeah. my question was in regard to H2's original engine and tweaks. Don't care much for the remaster.
I still expect the Forerunner and Covenant shiny structures to be crazy aliased though. :/

Will you come to Sweden and marathon the campaigns with me in November for $1000?
The gameplay will be exactly the same except for 60fps and you can switch between the Remastered graphics layer and the original graphics layer. The original should look exactly the same as on the OG Xbox.
Oh sure. Even 4K screenshots of Halo 3 show very noticeable aliasing when specular reflections have fun with high-frequency normal maps. It's already something that you can sort of acclimate to, though, and it's going to be less extreme at 1080p.
I was alluding to a separate collection. I'm content with what we're given here. Calm down, dude.

So, is it reasonable to assume this'll be in a bundle come launch day? I'll probably pick up an Xbone, Anniversary and Destiny Nov. 11. Shit's gonna be expensive.

Clarification from 343 would be nice.

Have they announced a bundle for this yet? There's no way they miss out on that special edition Halo Xbox One, right?

so will Halo 4, 2, and 3 be released vanilla or their latest TU build?
halo ce = anniversary edition 1080p60
halo 2 = anniversary edition 1080p60
halo 3 = vanilla 1080p60
halo 4 = vanilla 1080p60
edit: oh youre talking about updates. no clue
I think they will be the very last version that they were/are at this time.
Sounds like latest TU
Which kinda sucks because melee was screwed up hard in halo 2

Is the voice in the trailer of the Arbiter?
Yup. Arbiter back in halo 5 seems possible

If you look in Marlow/Agent Locke's visor you can see Arbiter.

This is going to sell so many Xbox ones . I assume after the hype dies down after a year or so.

Thanks for this excellent OP that clarifies a lot of questions. Great job !
Does wanting to buy an Xbox One and a second controller just for the Halo 3 part of the collection make me crazy a crazy person ?

The Gamespot stream didn't really talk about anything new. We did see some new footage from Cairo Station, but it was still during the early phases of the mission, so the architecture style is the same.
However, some new and interesting things were said about Halo Nightfall, or at least reemphasized:
-It's about Locke, the dude on Halo 5's cover (in case people don't know)
-It's an origin story, and a spiritual successor to FuD.
-Bigger budget, Halo like things built on set.
-Frankie was at the shoot and will return to it next week.

Hell, this game justifies buying an Xbox by itself
This was easily the biggest announcement of E3 for me. Its as good a value in gaming as I've ever seen. Heck, I'd pay 60 just for H2A but throw in the other three games.
Gonna set aside a weekend in November for some serious Halo binges the likes that have not been seen since I was a junior in college.

Halo 5 will be like Halo 2 is my bet.
You will switch between Chief and Agent Clarke missions a la Chief and Arbiter missions. Clarke is probably tasked with hunting chief down. That's my take on it anyway.
Don't worry, we have Destiny in July and release in September to hold us over until this comes out.
Pre-TU melee was messed up, but the TU did address that, tightened the BR, and made grenades fairly useful.
Halo 3's melee was awful either way.

You would have to really love Halo I suppose. Remasters never do that well let alone sell systems.

Agent Locke. Not Clarke
Well it's how CEA worked and they have said a few times that's how it'll work this time. If you look at some of the campaign footage they've been showing they switch between the original and new graphics layers a few times. It's surprising how well original H2 holds up IMO.
Actually one thing mentioned in one of the streams was that Locke is called Locke "in this timeline"
Anyone else hear that? I have a feeling we already know Locke as someone else.
Jun, The Sniper from Halo Reach who left with Halsey?
Buck?
Buck's voice is in the multiplayer teaser for 5. I think he's a Spartan 4 now.
Well nathan voiced the halo 5 multiplayer thing, so why not buck!Actually one thing mentioned in one of the streams was that Locke is called Locke "in this timeline"

Jun, The Sniper from Halo Reach who left with Halsey?
Buck?
Alas beaten again...
I'm sure it will come in time, imagine it being bundled with that White Xbox or a special edition one.
Ya, I heard that as well. I doubt Locke is Buck, but Jun is a possibility right? Is there any story follow up on him from a book that I don't know about? Of course it could be someone else from the books as well, I'm not a Halo reader.
It should be just like CEA where the engine is running the game simulation and there are 2 renderers, the original and the remaster, running on top of tha in unison, allowing you to flip back and forth.
Not that I know of. We'll probably have to wait for the Nightfall stuff for clarification since it is his origin story.

I have to say, I'm still shocked that they will have the entire multiplayer suite from all four games.
Maybe they just add Halo 5 on top of it? That would be awesome.
