According to Rebs Gaming, the project, titled Halo CER, will feature a sprint mechanic — a decision that will radically change the perception of the campaign and multiplayer.
Sources familiar with the development process claim that the current test version of the game already has a running function. Details of the implementation have not yet been disclosed, but the question remains: how will the new animations affect aiming with weapons like the M6D Magnum pistol or the sniper rifle?
It was previously reported that the Halo CE remake may be single-player only and lack multiplayer. In this case, there would be no need for PvP balance. There is also a possibility of the game being released on PlayStation 5 — this coincides with Microsoft's new policy of abandoning strict exclusivity.
Another important point is the technology. The remake is built on a hybrid engine, where Unreal Engine 5 works on top of the Blam Engine, which was used in the original Halo games. A similar scheme was already used in the Oblivion remaster, which also added a sprint that was absent in the classic version.
