Back in 2011, we were treated to Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary on Xbox 360, updating the original Halo from 10 years earlier with a visual overhaul, a bunch of multiplayer improvements, and various other bonus features.
This was followed up with Halo 2: Anniversary as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection in 2014, which again served as a significantly updated take on the original 2004 game. Halo 3 never ended up receiving the same kind treatment though, with its 10-year anniversary passing in 2017 without any kind of remastered release.
We've seen plenty of calls for Halo 3: Anniversary in the years since, and the Halo community on Reddit have been debating this once again over the past few days, questioning whether a remastered version is necessary or not.
Here are some of the most interesting comments we've come across from this latest discussion:
In general, it feels like most Halo fans definitely would like a Halo 3: Anniversary release (which comes as no surprise) but there are mixed opinions about whether it's just the cutscenes that need a touch-up, or whether it's the whole game.
There's no telling what 343 Industries has in store for Halo 3 in the future, but if there was to be a Halo 3: Anniversary remaster, we'd probably end up getting it in 2027 - as that will mark the 20th anniversary of the game's original launch.
