Microsofts Play Day continues where it was revealed that Halo: Anniversary will support cross-play with Halo Reach. Essentially you will be able to play on the Halo: Anniversary multiplayer maps in Halo: Reach provided that you have either bought the game or downloaded the maps as DLC. In an interview with VG247, Dan Ayoub said:
If youve got Reach and you dont pick up Anniversary and I dont know why youd do that you can get it as DLC. But if youve got Anniversary youre gonna be able to download it to your drive and that way if youve got the Reach disc in you can play the multiplayer on the Anniversary maps as well.
He then explains:
We decided to use the Reach engine specifically for Halo Anniversary so people can play between games, so if youre on Reach and Im on Anniversary we can play Multiplayer together,
Pretty cool, huh? If youre hankering for new Reach maps but arent so keen on revising the old Halo games, then this is for you.
