Let's be real and take off the nostalgia goggles, Halo CE is hot dogshit. I would rather lick a homeless man's Chinese food shits out of the diseased snatch of a crack whore than play this shitty game again. It was good when we were kids, sure, but coming back to it for it's PC release, I can't believe what I was thinking.
>weapons handle like dogshit
>basically shoot bits of foam, some weapons have trouble registering that they've hit or even fired
>only one worth using is the magnum
>only one that you can be sure will register 100% of the time and is a somewhat decent precision weapon
>if the assault rifle was any less accurate, it would be shooting backwards
>enemies tank damage with retard strength
>Chief is made of papier mache and angel's breath
>shields crumble when a grunt farts
>gameplay loop is obscenely boring
>because Chief is a delicate flower spend most of time hiding
>pop out and try to make your foam bullets try to even phase an enemy
>lose health and shields, hide and repeat process while grunt wonders if a fly tickled his anus
>most of the level is a slog to the next bit of hiding and hoping
>level design is recycled and bland, even in the anniversary edition
>entire game feels like one big, arduous chore
Halo 5 is the only reason that CE isn't the worst Halo game. I wish I didn't fucking sell my xbox because there's a small part of me that hopes that this is just 343's fuck up and that it's still a good game.
Let's be real and take off the nostalgia goggles, Halo CE is hot dogshit...
no
>never played halo before
>kinda get the desire to try with MCC releasing on steam
>but my computer's a linux
anybody know if this shit works on proton
Game gets good when the Shotgun is introduced desu. Shotgun-Magnum combo gives you little reason to ever pick other weapons, even on Legendary.
gay
no
the truth can be hard to hear
Halo CE is god tier, even to this day. Halo 2 is great. Halo 3 lost me but I'll allow others to enjoy it. Everything else obviously shouldn't have existed
I thoroughly enjoy Halo CE despite the flaws (most notably the small weapon variety per level).
>gameplay loop
you should
like
go die
Did they fix Reach yet?
But what happens if I still enjoy it but agree with all of this? Do I win?
Nig
Based. Halocels are the most delusional people on the board.
No, still fucked.
You're a fucking anomaly.
Burst firing AR is absolute ludo, git gud fagtron
>have to endure zoomer pcfags playing Halo for the first time and giving their enlightened 500 hours of fortnite opinion
just end it
>gameplay loop
kys zoomer
>first time playing was in 2006 when parents let me have an xbox.
Yes, first time. I've never played before the MCC.
It's a loop, stop being retarded. You go somewhere, deal with combat slog, go somewhere else and deal with combat slog. It loops.
The fact that you think in "loops" disqualifies you from having an opinion worth considering.
It’s still a good game, if very barebones by today’s standards. All I wanted was CQC chaos on Chiron and Prisoner and Rat Race with netcode that isn’t complete ass, but apparently this released was rushed to all hell.
How would you conceptualize repetitive shit then? Enlighten me with all the knowledge that reddit has shoved up your ass.
Everything is "repetitive" when your OCD is strong enough. Mellow the fuck out and enjoy a game, nerd.
Where do you live? I'm on east coast and it's running flawlessly for me.
Well, that’s good to hear. I was reading yesterday’s threads as well as Waypoint posts and it seemed like CE’s riddled with all sorts of bugs at the moment.
Listen here's a red pill that no one wants to admit, Halo 3 is the only good halo game of the entire series and it will single-handedly save the MCC.
You are a gentleman and a scholar, user.
Is tinnitus really that bad?
>Spamming tab on older levels watching the graphic change
Worth the whole $40 honestly
I have it. It has ups and downs. I acquired mine from TMJ, and the swelling at times causes swelling around said region. If I lay on my face at night, it gets pretty loud. I ignore it on the most part.
I'll admit, it's jarring playing something 20 years old that's being passed off as a modern shooter.
How would you remaster Halo CE?
Which button’s for switching weapons now? Tab used to be that button.
Halo is like late 90s/early 2k music. Sure, it's bad, but when you compare it to the absolute complete trash of today, it's actually not that bad.
1
Really the only thing that needs remastering is the last half of the game. Too many reused levels that go on too long and don't play to CE's strengths.
Game needs some rebalancing though. PR and AR are both pretty shit on Legendary/Heroic and it's really noticeable in the sandbox since the other weapons perform in roles much better.
>nostalgia
It's literally prog rock orchestrated.
use fucking Q.
Can refund it within two hours if you can't run it.
Q is (was) the flashlight button.
>Halo
Kill yourselves zoomer faggots. Play Quake.
>doombaby
It will, but you won't get Steam achievements because it's in lock-step with X-box Live.
There's apparently work-arounds (like Cheat Engine) for it but
>Linux
Install ~~Gentoo~~Windows 10, fag.
>because Chief is a delicate flower spend most of time hiding
...Why do you think CoD and other shooters copied that "stop and pop" sort of cover-shooter? Because of Halo.
Honestly, playing it on PC: Heroic is stupid easy, bar the stupid high damage rate that enemies are able to do. Just spray the machine gun at elites and then smack them 1-2 times. Done. Or just spray them from long-range. The magnetism on PC is fucking hilarious.
Pistol makes the entire campaign on PC a complete joke if shield-busting didn't happen in 2 seconds on Legendary because the enemies get more shots than you do.
beat it on legendary lmao, hello plasma pistol department?
you faggot doom boomer die
yeah but I don't want to just constantly do that shit any time I'm mildly curious about a game and eventually get put on a shitlist with steam over it
tried looking on protondb and from what I gather it more or less works but online's busted because of EAC so it's probably not worth it anyway.
>playing with dogshit keybinds
So which is it retard? Baby stop and pop or run and gun? You dumb brah?
ITT: zoomies whos first console was xbox and who's first video game was gaylo
>le frog meme
opinion discarded
I just want to know why Reach, which was released over a year prior to CEA, visually looks leagues better, especially in terms of foliage quality, which is a pretty glaring flaw when 70% of the game takes place in nature preserves.
Keep crying Reachnigger, Halo CE, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are all better than Reach.
Who gives a fuck, it's Reach
>People say reach is the worst one
>Ok I'll wait
>This releases
>Multiplayer is worse
>It's not even remade graphics
>Spawns are shit
Holy fuck the nostalgiafags are bad on this one.
Hey, you try playing Custard Edition for 6 years. Its stock keybinds are so burned into my mind at this point that I even remapped Reach the same way, with Abilities set to LShift.
it's a port ya dumb nigger
Reach was handled by artists who knew, and already were familiar with how to depict the game world. CEA even at the time obviously just cobbled all these assets left and right and called it a day.
Doesn't matter if Reach graphics are better its art style is still shit.
Reach is shit and will always be shit, that's why it's dead.
>that fucking controller autoaim
faggot
Do you not understand comparisons?
I agree here.
The first was neat because it was a good Sci fi fps with a decent controller (as opposed to the n64 and golden eye). If it had had online, I think it would've been more maligned though due to how utterly broke the pistol is in multi-player. Was easy to ignore back in the day because my friends and I all had a house rule that you could use the pistol, but if you did, the other players were allowed to punch you in the shoulder as hard as they could after you won.
Halo 2 was decent, but the BR starts were as awful as the dmr starts are in reach.
Yes its a "skill" based gun, but cmon, it's gay as shit to start with when it's the most common gun on the map anyway.
Halo 3 found a great balance, and the return of the pea shooter AR as the starting gun, a rebalance of many others and having some of the best maps in the entire series, it really did do a great job at making halo feel competitive and fun, and without all the cheese of the first two.
Reach, as the last bungie game literally just shit the bed, didn't know what it wanted to be (cod? or halo?) and threw all that hard earned balance out the window with the dmr and claustrophobic maps. Hell, even remakes were somehow worse due to extra clutter and shitty color palettes.
4 & 5 I haven't played. I tried renting 4, just to see, but it felt like a full on cod clone at that point and I never played it again.
I get why the led with reach and 1, because it's the order of the story, but God it was such a mistake. They could've easily ran with 3 and people would have lost their minds. Because that's basically what eldewrito proved.
Not that people want halo, but that people want halo 3.
No. Ive had it my entire life
i was convinced it was normal to have a ringing noise when everything is silent.
it has never, ever bothered me.
H1 always had the worst multiplayer. Reach had second worst, and I have no idea about 4 and 5 because fuck that.
Matchmaking doesn't work because of anti cheat so no achievements, customs apparently work.
Console: Stop and Pop.
PC: Run and Gun.
However, the port is from a Stop and Pop release. So it's both. The original was "ground-breaking" for porting a shooter to console and having it control well (due to the two limit and having players stop/get into cover to where they don't need to ZOOM ZOOM around like Doom of old on PC). Halo (and 2) is the reason why we have slow-speed shooters now a days.
>Matchmaking doesn't work because of anti cheat
thanks sweeny
Halo is the reason the original xbox made it YOU DUMB FUCK. if there was no halo then xbox would have failed.
This
I want good graphics so yes it does matter you shit
Just like Mario 64 is the reason the N64 made it: viral marketing shit games to dumb nugamers.
Who shakes hands when there is Covid19 out there?
this is 2002.......are you retarded>>?

Exactly this. But now we have to wait. Did they put out any dates for the next releases in the series anyway?
