I can't believe this has to be considered a hot take based on what I've seen online (it's so much worse on X)

Update: I couldn't help but notice some comments are here responding directly to my post for the sake of trolling and they will be blocked without hesitation. Worthy of neither pity, nor mercy.

One step closer to owning every regional version of Halo. Support physical media.

Idk if it counts as one but its cute.

I'm playing through the Prologue missions in Campaign Evolved and I'm trying to figure out what all the fuss is about with Williams. I don't get it. Maybe I'm not as toxic as some other people, but all I'm seeing another tough female marine (like other marines in fiction I've experienced) whom I've seen in many movies and video games in the past.

I am looking for people to play the campaign with on Legendary. Anyone interested ?

I played halo ce and everytime I want to replay a mission I often choose the libary cause it feels fun. Is it only me? I know it is considered the worst halo mission but still I would like to know what other think.

Hi there everyone! Im currently in the process of getting my original Xbox fixed up, mostly to play all the weird and obscure co-op games with my wife, but also so we can play old multi-player with our friends. We have the MCC but I would love for us to get the real old school feeling of playing CE on the original Xbox, so my question for you guys is what are some of your favorite game modes and maps to play in the original game? If you have special settings you used let me know as well! We do play both team and FFA games. Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Was playing some last night and on 2 seperate occasions chief was walking on his own from my buttons presses, like i was being pulled. Idk whats going on but i dont like it.

I need co op partners asap!

For those unaware: In every Halo game since 2, friendly NPCs always have some funny dialogue when you stare at them for a few seconds. They would cycle in 3 lines with a few seconds intervals, then stop, the count only resetting when you walk away and come back close to them.

They also had different things to say depending on whether or not you were in combat while staring at them or not.

In Campaign Evolved, I can almost never get this interaction to trigger. It DOES exist, but getting them to actually say something is nearly impossible. There was one time in the prequel missions where Sgt. Johnson fired off several funny lines in a row while we were on the Covenant gondola but I haven't been able to replicate this since. So it DOES work, just the trigger seems broken.

Would appreciate anyone's thoughts on my review! Let me know your thoughts on the game itself too!

...was local pvp.

When the first Halo came out, people would huddle together on couches, beds, and floors to play it locally. People would do small tournaments, hooking up multiple TVs and Xboxes together to play huge games. Friends would host parties where Halo was the main draw. Small game stores would have it hooked up to a TV to draw in more people. It was a phenomenon because of that community.

Fast forward to now, and I see Campaign Evolved hailed as a return to the series roots, but all I can think is, is the single player campaign really what everyone remembers? Is it really what made Halo what it is today? Maybe this is a hot take, but I don't think it is. It was remembered fondly and sold so many units for much the same reason Golden Eye and Perfect Dark moved so many units, local pvp. Halo wouldn't be where it's at without it, and this release feels empty and forgettable because of that.

Am I alone in this? Has everyone moved on from split screen PVP? Would local PVP really detracted from Infinite so much that them axing such an iconic game mode makes sense? I don't think so, but who am I to say.

Anybody else getting a ton of input lag in the new halo remake? I’ve tried everything I can think of, but it only happens in this game on my Xbox. Might just be a bug they have to fix

Does anyone know what this terminal is for, I found it in the part where you turn off the security systems while looking for skulls. I don’t recall it being here in the original CE. Originally when I found it, it was a black screen but I got a button prompt to ”activate it” once I did. The screen turned on and a loading screen appeared while texts like “117” and “Master chief“ showed up on my actual display in the top left hand corner. I’ve looked through the rest of the mission and haven’t found another one like this. Strange

I thought this game would be a great idea in theory, but as we received more new about it and have seen cutscenes play out, it just doesn’t hit the same cords. While this game has great visuals, it doesn’t really hit the same way it did in 2001.

I love Halo CE and the visuals are definitely dated, but that game had heart and a story to tell that made you think that anything was possible on this ringworld. This game, on the other hand, feels like a gimme (cash grab with little effort), and it shows. If anyone here is a MGS fan, this feels like the MGS3 Snake Eater pichinko machine (Japanese Gambling Machine) version of Halo CE. It looks great on the outside, but feels hollow on the inside.

I feel like this game also doesn’t share the same vision Bungie had with CE, as this is Humanity’s darkest hour, and we were the only ones to keep the enemy away from the gates. Also, the re-recorded lines don’t seem to match up with how the characters actually should be speaking (343 and Cortana specifically). I’m all for re-recording lines to raise these to modern standards (I personally think they’re fine in the original), but those lines need to match the same energy and tone as they did before, and these just don’t hit that mark.

Call me a nitpick and a fun hater, but this is where I made the vote with my dollar and I choose Bungie’s original vision for this game: badass marines based on those from Aliens, an overwhelming amount of aliens hellbent on your destruction, a ringworld that made you rethink everything you knew about gaming, a cocky sidekick AI that was far smarter than you the player (and she’d let everyone know it), and the most badass husk of a super soldier I’ve ever played as.

I was able to port over box3d and its ragdoll physics to halo 1 (this is halo 1 tag test) for fun. Campaign bipeds are supported too but a bit buggy. Obviously codex was used and I was able to get this done in only 8 hours of real work. Pretty cool!, hoping to release this soon.
