Rumor: Halo Remake on the Way
Is Microsoft planning something big for Halo's 10th birthday?

According to a report from Joystiq, an unnamed source told the website a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved, first released on the original Xbox in 2000, is being prepped for a Holiday 2011 release for Xbox 360.
The report states the game will include new art assets and updated controller configurations, but the audio will likely remain the same. It will also support 1080p resolution, 3D televisions, and online co-op.
Interestingly enough, the remake isn't being handled by 343 Industries, Microsoft's internal Halo development team. According to the report, Saber Interactive, the team behind TimeShift and the upcoming sci-fi shooter Inversion from Namco, has taken the reigns. 343 is keeping an eye on the project, however.
This rumored remake has a release date: November 15, 2011 - ten years after the original.
When asked about the report, a Microsoft representative said the company does not comment on rumor or speculation.
In October, Microsoft Game Studios Corporate Vice President Phil Spencer told IGN in an interview the company wasn't focused on HD remakes of older Xbox games, such as the original Halo.
"We obviously have a lot of new things going on, so the thought of re-doing a bunch of things is probably difficult to just weave into the overall portfolio," Spencer said. "If you can provide real value to the customer, there could be possibilities for that, but I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it."
****I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!!****
