On of the goals for 343 Industries when working on Halo 4 is to bring back the magic of old, the feeling that a lot of people got from playing Halo: Combat Evolved back in the day. MCV talked to Microsoft UK's Stephen McGill, who said that "one of the key things with Halo 4 is going back to what made it amazing for people playing the first Halo." After all, the cursing kid who killed you and then teabagged you in Halo 3 multiplayer this weekend was probably quite young when Combat Evolved was released 10 years ago. "They probably didn't play it. That's the opportunity the Anniversary pack and then Halo 4 have."
"The tenth anniversary is huge and is a product of great passion. It's important we celebrate this - the game itself was a huge milestone for us and kickstarted the platform in a lot of ways," McGill said about the Anniversary Edition of Halo: Combat Evolved which is due later this year.
"343's proved worthy stewards of the franchise, and its the biggest commendation we can give is that we're eager to see them developing their own spin on the Halo universe."
