Halo Anniversary is the first game to be developed by 343 Industries. The game is essentially the same as Halo Combat Evolved, except for a few changes implemented by 343i. The game engine was replaced in campaign by the Saber3d engine from Saber Interactive and the Halo Reach engine was used for the multiplayer. The game also included online multiplayer. A neat feature in this game is the ability for players to easily jump from the old classic graphics of Halo CE to the new and improved ones by the click of a button. Activating the different graphics is seamless, and it even can help the player in playing the game. For instance, if the player is facing Elites with energy swords, the new graphics make it hard for the player to see the floating swords, but in classic graphic mode, the swords are easily seen. This game plays just like Halo CE, the core game mechanics were never changed. The game still boasts its dynamic AI that always makes the game different through each play through. It is still like the game that popularized FPS’s on consoles. The game makes use of weapon management and health packs. As players fight their way across Halo’s vast terrain, they must decide which kinds of weapons to take with them, long range or short range? UNSC or Convenant? Players also have to find health packs throughout the world to replenish the health of the Master Chief. In addition to new graphics, 343i added achievements and terminals to the game. The terminals give additional information about the Halo universe through supplementary cinematics. The addition of online multiplayer only gave players new maps to play on; it really did nothing for the game over all. Halo Anniversary is a game for the avid Halo fan that has always wanted to see what the first game would look like with better graphics. The game is still just as fantastic as it was back in 2001 when it was first released.
