*'''Phil Spencer:''' " I remember sitting this conference room and watching this purple and blue [[First-person shooter|FPS]] game on console, and scratching my head wondering 'was this going to be it; was this going to be the game which defines [[Xbox]]?'

*'''Greg Hermann:''' "In a lot of ways, it was a fine balancing act because we were running all of the original Halo animations. So it was the original Halo skeletons for those characters. It needed to be rebound into the updated meshes that we had brought over from ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]''. For example, the [[Sangheili|Elites]] had an elongated neck, so now they're a little more squat and compact." | *'''Greg Hermann:''' "In a lot of ways, it was a fine balancing act because we were running all of the original Halo animations.

For some reason, it just pops in Halo better than in other games and movies." | ||
*'''Dennis Ries:''' "Yeah, I'd say the feature that surprised me the most was [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary#Kinect Integration|Kinnect]]." | |||
*'''Dan Ayoub:''' You have voice commands throughout the campaign; things like grenade, reload. At a point in the game were you're playing, you can analyze and you can almost capture items and move your cursor over and in the [[Library (feature)|Library]], you can go in there and see the things you've caught and move the model around. And it gives you a bit of a break down of what those characters are." | |||
*'''Chad Armstrong:''' "For me when I think of Halo, I love looking around at the scope and the scale of things." | |||
*'''Dan Ayoub:''' "This is the game that started it all. People can really dive in and remember what it was like ten years ago and if you didn't play it ten years ago, you can see what it was like ten years ago." | |||
*'''Bonnie Ross Ziegler:''' "It's the quintessential walk down memory lane, only with better visuals." | |||
*'''Frank O'Connor:''' "Ultimately, the thing you learn is that it doesn't just look modern, it feels completely modern." | |||
*'''Dennis Ries:''' "A completely remaster campaign, great additional features like co-op over LIVE, Skulls, [[Terminal/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Terminals]], 3D, Kinnect and Multiplayer." | |||
*'''David Ellis:''' "Once you see it for yourself, it's really a pretty awesome experience." | |||
*'''Frank O'Connor:''' "There's a lot of stuff in their for $40. We're actually raveling in the fact that there's so much there and load of stuff for people who enjoy Halo." | |||
*'''David Ellis:''' "Definitely one of the best values you will find this holiday season by far." | |||
