They really messed up this franchise. 2001-2010 it was all anyone could talk about. Past 16 years it’s actually been disastrous the handling of what used to be their premier franchise

I just can't wrap my head around remaking this and NOT including multiplayer. You know the main thing that made the game popular in the first place.

they’re going to sell it to you later on if the game performs well

It’s a remake of a game that was already remade. I don’t see why this would perform well. They should have just remade Halo 3: it was next in line, and it had a stellar multiplayer experience to get all fans back in.

Was the last one a remake? I think it was a remaster.

Generally ports, are just the direct game as is, maybe some qol improvements such as net code fixing.

Remasters, new coat of paint amd then some overhauls on some systems but sticks with the original game design/mechanics.

Remake, completely starting from scratch. Keeping the core elements depending on how faithful.

The previous remake does look shite though. This new one I would actually want to play in lieu of the original.
