: It's fairly common for developers to put retro elements into new games, in

: the majority of Halo 5 players probably won't have any firsthand
: experience with H1's maps, so there's a good chance its success (or lack

Disagree here. If Halo 4 bombed as much as everyone round the internet says it did, then it stands to reason that the only people left still willing to buy into the franchise are those who are truly dedicated to it. (ie, not the people who played halo4 and said they were done with Halo)

Did I say that right?^ Does it make sense?

I think 343 should not remake any maps from previous Halo games, as much as it may pain them or you. I know 343 can do remakes. We've seen that in Reach, CEA and Halo 4. I don't need them to sell me on their ability to recreate what has already been done, I need them to sell me on their ability to innovate.
