Eagle-eyed Halo: Campaign Evolved fans have noticed that the upcoming remake will feature a rather surprising customization option. Fans have only noticed this Halo: Campaign Evolved detail after scrutinizing the early gameplay.
The original Halo: Combat Evolved didn't feature many ways to customize the experience, for better or worse. Halo Studios has already confirmed that the remake will give players a few more options in this regard. For example, Halo: Campaign Evolved's controversial sprint feature can be disabled, meaning those who want a more classic experience can get just that.
Halo Remake Creators Don't Deny AI Usage
Halo: Campaign Evolved's creative team dances around questions about generative AI usage in development, sparking debate among fans.
Halo: Campaign Evolved Will Allow For Some HUD Customization
A Reddit thread started by user rigg197 has pointed out that Halo: Campaign Evolved will allow players to customize some elements of the HUD, by moving them to their positions from the original game. As it stands, most HUD elements have shifted somewhat in the remake, with the radar in the top-right of the screen perhaps the most jarring of all. Although this is the default setting, players can easily switch this in the settings. These kinds of small Halo: Campaign Evolved features can make a big difference, so let's hope there are even more options like this for players to tailor their own experience.
Not all the changes revealed for Halo: Campaign Evolved so far have proven popular with the community. One user in the thread described the choice to change the HUD elements' position as "a classic 343 'change for change’s sake' decision." Meanwhile, a developer of the original has criticized Halo: Campaign Evolved, claiming Halo Studios is breaking some parts of the game "for no reason." One thing is for sure: no matter what product the developer releases next year, it's going to be tough to please everyone with the Halo 1 remake.
Upon the announcement of Halo: Campaign Evolved, developer Halo Studios did not give a release date or window beyond 2026. That means there could be plenty of time for the studio to reveal even more details about the Halo 1 remake, which fans of the series should keep an eye out for in the coming months.
