What engine do you prefer playing?
So first things first. I know this is cOLD and that I am way behind, but I just spent 2 years not playing video games and now I can again. Anyways, back to the point.
Today I just bought Halo Anniversary. I love it. I love the love they put into it and didn't just lazily do an HD reskinning. But I also find myself switching over to the classic engine for extended periods of time out of pure nostalgia. I enjoy the new look but the classic view just brings back all kinds of great memories. Including all night system link parties with the original. It's funny, I think I would be fine with playing it completely classic style (the cutscenes are even done in classic!) So my question is this, when you play(ed) Halo Anniversary, did you mainly play in the new engine, the classic engine, or both pretty evenly?
Also, I don't know if I like how they did the multiplayer. I wish they would allow access to all the other Halo Reach maps so I wouldn't have to have my Reach disc to play those ones (I am aware that there is a map pack for $15, but I don't have my reach disc anymore. It's in a box 1,500 miles away.) :( What do y'all think of the multiplayer?
TLDR: What is/was your preferred engine to play Halo Anniversary, and what do you think about how they did the multiplayer?

Edited by Jay: 7/11/2013 9:49:54 PMIt's the same engine. They just did a texture update. I personally like to switch back and forth between the new graphics and the old. And you are a little late to be able to play all the maps you had to pay for. 343 removed Anniversary BTB last August during the infamous August Update. I loved the multiplayer. Playing Anniv. BTB on Headlong was awesome. It was pretty much the only game type I played from February 2012 until August 2012.
