I really dig the idea of making classic maps for reach - rather than dividing the audience. There's nothing worse than sitting in a lobby waiting forever for a game to start because the players are scattered so thin.
what i'm really wondering is where they'll draw the line - as the series went on they let you do more and more.
Will we be able to hijack vehicles? will the rocket launcher have a 'lock-on'? will there be dual wielding? etc...
the idea to switch between visuals seems interesting but i wonder if it will hold things back at all. will it ONLY be a facelift?
in any case i guess anniversary edition will be like odst. that little taste of halo to tide you over til the next proper game launches.
