Pretty cool that a dev insider reaches out to us. Much appreciated.
Anyways I just would like to to add my 2 cents;
Don't fiddle with the classic gameplay engine! Just update the static 3d graphics to real-time dynamic lighting, and have high-definition 3d models using their classic animations, all with a smooth frame-rate in real-time. Halo Anniversary did this, and I loved every minute of it.

Unfortunately the original engine isn't 3D. It's pre-rendered images of 3D models. Everything you see in the original games exist as images, not 3D models on the game disk.
Obviously there are 3D models somewhere, but considering they were made in 1995 - 1997 I think we will be able to make them look a fair bit nicer.
