I think he said Halo 4 when he meant Halo Anniversary.  HaloA will be able to switch back and forth between "new" graphics and "old", not Halo4.
I was on my phone. I meant to say something like:
Just read an article that confirmed that the campaign will be running [the new engine I guess Halo 4 will run] literally on top of the original Halo engine

Though I did see a Reachlike assassination in the preview video, so that further begs the "vehicle hijack, jetpack, dual wield, etc" question.
The Halo 1 maps will be added to Reach, much like Rock Band Track Packs. So multiplayer will be Reach gameplay. They might make a rule-set with more basic gameplay for some custom playlist. They do things like that sometimes.

Even for new graphics, does anyone else think they look kind of basic?
I'm sure they're basic because they were still limited by some aspects of the HaloCE engine. A shiny coat of paint is fine by me, even if it isn't state of the art.
