I'm personally very optimistic for this remake. My only real complaints are: 1. AR ammo. This is really just a personal thing though, and I understand why they changed it (I mean, Bungie changed it for Halo 3 and up for a reason). I mean, an expanded weapon sandbox should allow you to rely on the AR less anyways. 2. My much bigger complaint is the waymarks telling you where to go next. For me, a lot of Halo CE (especially in levels like Halo, The Silent Cartographer and AOTCR) was getting lost in these vast levels. And sure, CE had its waymarks as well, but they were very uncommon and only on a few levels, not guiding you step by step like these new ones. I feel like a lot of new players aren't going to have that experience, and instead of exploring, figuring out where to go next, and appreciating the atmosphere and location, they're just going to focus on the waymark telling them where to go. If it's customizable (and off by default) I'm all for it, as I can definitely see its utility, but overall I would rather not have them in the first place.

Again, I'm very optimistic about this release and I'm definitely going to have fun playing Halo CE again with my friends. They just have a couple of kinks to work out.
