Halo: Combat Evolved has gone gold... again. The Anniversary remake is done, eagerly waiting to re-earn your hard-earned dollars on November 15th.
New to Anniversary is Kinect support, detailed for the first time at New York Comic Con. You'll be able to use voice commands, such as "Grenade" and "Reload," through the campaign. You'll also be able to switch between the classic and revamped visuals through voice commands as well.
Perhaps the most exciting addition offered by Kinect is the "Library" feature, which can be activated by shouting "Analyze." You'll then be able to "capture" select items in the environment, a la Metroid Prime, and these items will go into an encyclopedia which not only details the object, but lets you see the 3D model up close and personal.
The library is very cool, but unfortunately it is exclusive to Kinect. Why? Because there, apparently, wasn't a button for it.
Finally, 343 revealed the final map for Anniversary's multiplayer mode. "Hang 'Em High" is returning, and promises to be the most true to the feel of the original's.

I hope there's voice commands for everything!

They could line the edge of the screen with videos of everybody playing. You'd die a million times laughing.

It's pew pew pew pew pew.

I imagine it playing something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9CK37sqoz0

Man, I was hoping that "Library mode" would be a feature that allowed you to instantly switch to the Library level at any point in the campaign. Oh well!

Don't worry, the game will keep taking you back there anyway...

Indeed it is.

I don't even think I'll be buying the multiplayer maps stand alone when they are eventually offered. I've got no interest in replaying Halo 1's campaign and I think the new maps are getting their own playlist so the Noble and Defiant packs are all I need. I think most people were expecting Halo 1's multiplayer to be remade for Live but without that I think this Anniversary edition misses the mark. I am curious to see if this will sell better or worse than ODST.

Except ODST's campaign was awful. And Halo 1's is great.

ODST'S campaign was awful. It's the only Halo campaign I never finished. It just felt totally half-assed compared to the rest of the series. Like I'd already done all of that in previous games, with a better story.

ODST was full price. While I enjoyed it, it wasn't a great deal.

Did they say they had put full campaign coop into this?
