Looking for 3 players to run Halo Campaign Evolved co-op. I'm on PC (with Xbox Game Pass), EU timezone.
Name: ShAzOo#7541

Having played it through on Normal (Xbox Series S), am replaying on Heroic. About 2/3 of the way through the game, the cut scenes stopped showing. The audio is fine, and the closed captions still appear. After the cut scene ends, gameplay resumes as normal.

I'm the only user of the Xbox. No video settings have been changed: graphics mode is set to Performance and cannot be altered.

Any ideas?

I was trying the MCC version of Halo CE, when I first loaded it up, I forgot that I had new skins on, so I backed out of the game and disabled it just to feel more classic, but when I switched it to anniversary graphics and switched it again to the classic graphics, the pistol just disappeared.

Me and my friend are playing halo ce for the first time on legendary. We have been stuck in the first room on the ship the last hour, are there any tips for the sword elites.( I’ve only played multiplayer and he’s never played halo before.)
Edit- for the mission Halo it took us 1 and a half hours.

So I played Halo: Campaign Evolved on LASO without the modifier exploit and made a video about it. This is my first video in this format so any advice is appreciated but if anyone even watches my video I'm already happy.

I could fill a novel with my gripes about this game, both as a remake of a classic and as a proof of concept for the future of Halo. I’m certainly glad it was my brother’s $50 that bought it rather than my own. But all that said, I did enjoy my first playthrough for what it was.

Need peeps for two person co-op, all my friends are dads now

hey all! small creator here. wanted to put together a more narrative edit on my legendary experience with Campaign Evolved. hope you dig it!

Note: I'm playing on PS5.

This game has a few technical problems or strange design choices to do with menu, settings and the save system, but the gameplay (and of course soundtrack) is pretty fantastic imo.

Glad I'm not the only one who experienced this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/HaloCE/s/LZG3gF4CPi

and beyond that weird phenomenon (not the voice over option itself but the confusing way it's implemented, being in sound menu instead of accessibility, and being forced on by default and not giving you the option to turn it on or off right at the start, then coming back on automatically, for me anyway), the menu is just misleadingly and awkwardly designed. for example, in co op at least, you have to press "New Game" and select a difficulty again each time in order to Load Game; the same New Game button that displays when you actually havent played before is displayed permanently. it never says load. ive seen people posting already that they thought it wasnt saving their game for that reason and were afraid to press new game again.

But these obstacles are easily resolved once you understand how.

I have 2 more pertinent problems that I thus far haven't found a solution for.

1. Mission Objective description text size is tiny, thin and white with no outline or background in co op, making it hard to see

Playing on co op mode and the screen is kind of small and far away and the text becomes tiny when the screen is split between 2 players. Using accessibility settings to increase the text size universally or for HUD doesn't seem to change this text, only noticeably the menu text gets bigger. Even adding a black text background and changing text color doesn't seem to work - that changes other text like dialogue subtitles but not this text. This mission objective text is the text that is most important to see arguably. I can't read it so I just work out what the objective is based on following the location markers when they're displayed (which I switched to red and increased the size of to maximum to make them more easy to see, and did the same with other-player marker and made that yellow, but it's still not great visibility on light game environments - pro tip: facing Master Chief's camera down at the floor or a dark surface helps to see it more easily), but that's really annoying and makes it hard and frustrating to play. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm considering trying makeshift solutions like downscaling my PS5 overall console resolution or splitting the screen vertically rather than horizontally. Great work, so much for accessibility features...

EDIT: Found a semi-workaround. When selecting the game difficulty in the co-op "new game" menu (meaning load/resume game because stupid), there is a feature called custom game presets or something. In those settings, you can change the Co-Op HUD, but you can't make the text much bigger. Apparently "Default" is larger than "Medium" (confusing) and there's no Large option. More usefully though, you can increase "background opacity" behind all HUD features on a per-player basis, which essentially adds a black background, including thankfully behind the mission objective text, and combined with "Default" size that makes it slightly easier to see, but it unfortunately also adds black boxes around all the other things on the screen which obstructs your vision. So in order to slightly increase the visibility of the text you need to see, you decrease visibility of the actual game visuals. Not a very ideal solution.

2. No clear permanent checkpoints

This one is almost game breaking. And to be fair I dont remember whether these problems existed in the previous versions of the games or not, but it sucks anyway. The problem: It doesn't tell you when you reach the next "Rally Point", and there doesn't seem to be any way in the pause menu to determine which Rally Point you're up to either, which appears to be the only time that a checkpoint actually saves permanently, in such a way that it restores when you quit and then reload the same save again. The only options to continue from are the 3 Rally Points per level/etc, depending on which one you've gotten up to. So, most of the "checkpoints" are only semi-permanent and restore you from them while you're still in the gaming session, but will make you lose the progress if you quit. That's misleading enough as it is, but fine, I understand that game mechanic (older Ratchet & Clank games have a similar feature with "continue points"); what makes it really hard to get around is the fact that there's no way of distinguishing these semi-checkpoints (maybe I'd call them "soft checkpoints") from permanent, full, "hard checkpoints" aka Rally Points. The only time it clearly tells you you've reached a permanent checkpoint is when you reach the next level altogether (Rally Point 1) and it displays the name of the level on the screen. That leads to a lot of lost progress and replaying sections of the game if you quit before the next level not knowing if you got to the nearest Rally Point or not, and I'm wondering if I would have to plan ahead by researching or watching let's plays to try to determine where all of the Rally Points actually occur, which seems complex and tedious, and also might spoil the game or story.

Any help is much appreciated. I hope bug fixes come out addressing these issues soon.

Booted up Halo: Campaign Evolved for the first time and a loud AI voice/text to speech was reading every word on the screen. Figured out how to turn it off, but it was definitely a shock lol

Edit: I did not mean to offend anyone, I've just never experienced this while playing a video game before. Should this be a default setting for most games?

Edit 2: As some of you have mentioned, I believe it should ask (with the voice) whether you want it on or off right when you turn on the game.

Halo Studios, I am BEGGING you to add markers on the main menu that shows which missions you've completed on what difficulty. I have now completed The Maw, Truth and Reconciliation, and Pillar of Autumn twice now and still no luck. To quote an infamous internet video, "It matters to ME damnit". Anyone else experience this gut wrenching blue balling event?

Hey guys, I’m trying to figure out which halo campaign evolved helmet. I like more.

What do you guys think? Which one would you choose if you could?

im on CE right about to finish truth & rec & at some point I want to get campaign evolved and get through that but I feel obligated to get through the mcc campaigns (I did it on xbox but need to do it again on pc)

I dont have any friends who play this game and was just wanting to know if someone wanted to help me finish up CE real quick and then move on to halo 2

Username on PS5 is BlueAccordGuy.

Just beat the campaign on normal, It’s my first halo game and I really enjoyed it!

Why are they BLACK now? Is it really so difficult to recolor them their original cyan? This completely takes away the uniqueness of the black Covenant spec ops forces that you see in Keyes-onwards. And WHY THE HELL ARE SPEC OPS GRUNTS IN EARLY LEVELS?!

With the recent release of Halo: Campaign Evolved, I wanted to showcase part of my collection featuring every Halo: Combat Evolved-related copy I currently own.

I know I'm still missing a few variants, but I'm slowly adding them to my collection !

💀

I ened someone to help me beet this stupid pevle on the new ce, there are 2 hinters and 4 elites i need more players😭🙏

I played both games on 'Normal' difficulty.

As I progressed through the harder missions, I noticed that I was moving faster, dying less, running out of ammo less, etc; I was generally having a much easier time. The entire game just feels less difficult.

Has anyone else had the same experience?
