It holds up

itd be neat if when I hit tab to switch to original graphics it also changed the music instantly too.

I did, Halo CE is still one of the greatest games of all time let alone one of the greatest FPS. I played multiple call of duties, bioshocks, battlefields, doom series. none of them made me look down on Halo CE. its just a master piece of a game and wasn't even my first FPS.

My first FPS was shareware Doom when I was 9. Halo is still the GOAT, incel

I will defend other aspects of Halo but its gameplay (the objectively most important part.) is Dull.

If modernizing the FPS genre means making it more a akin to a walking simulator with a red light green light twist, then I will happily keep playing my boomer shooters.

Retard neck yourself

Halo CE with coop and on legendary is pure fun.

>umm, contrarians have been shit posting about this game for over a decade so that makes us right!!!

lmao u fucking perma incels seething over halo for nearly 20 years. fucking losers lmao. Halo has ALWAYS been the Chad FPS.

Once you learn about the flood the gameplay fucking tanks.
Its still good tho

incredibly based

Weapon Limit
that increases difficulty and the sense of survival. you basically want the game to be easier.
>Get Instakilled
i rarely if ever get insta killed even on legendary with the jackel snipers from Halo 2 being able to one-shot you from the other side of the map. you use the environment to your advantage and stay as tactical as possible. picking off enemies if you have to. effectively using whatever marine squads they give you as a distraction to take down more enemies.

i'm not sure what you think makes a challenging or none dull shooter. doom was not at all difficult despite its age.

>my favorite level was 24 where you run around a featureless maze and collect three key cards while solving an annoying teleportal puzzle for the 10th time. All topped off with an autoaim system, that while inconsistent and kind of boring, just serves to heavily insensitive good movement and weapon prioritization. Even if the rocket launcher and plasma gun are all i really need. SO RETRO. They just don't make fps's like this anymore, do they? hahaha

Yes thank you game for telling me what weapons I can and cannot have and limiting the variety of encounters I can have because "muh plot".

Of course it does. It had a genuinely well-designed campaign.

Elites are not lower than Canonically fodder and they're the only ones you really have to strategize against. some of them can be as tough as Chief himself and canonically average around 7 foot tall each. can run faster than the average human and kick/punch harder as well. it would make sense not to be able to mow through them. you might as well be askig why you can't just run up to a tank and destroy it without it potentially one-shotting you.

>>dumbed down painkiller gameplay for consoles
who plays on dirty bitch consoles? who plays doom on medium or low difficulty?

Halo is based.

You bet your ass I'd be questioning why the tank would win in game.

Is the remastered music completely different from the original score, or is it the same score just re-recorded?

The music is changed though generally in a way that is meant to keep the spirit of the original compositions. It's hit or miss imho. The sound effects are really nice though, surprisingly. The remastered sniper rifle firing sound is satisfying as hell.

Jackels aren't difficult to kill neither are grunts. if you're seriously wondering why snipers are difficult to kill i'm not sure why you're playing FPS. its clearly not your genre forte.

>cinematic shit that happens in the story should reflect the game play
at that point every game would be piss easy and mario would just be tossing bowser into the abyss with every boss fight and sonic would run to the end of each level in a matter of seconds because he travels at the speed of sound. you're just being obtuse at this point.

We live in a day and age were people think Halo is the first fps. Just leave it my man, you can't win against blind fanboïsm

>Still Goalpost moving
>Drastic differences between story and gameplay portrayal don't matter
I'm not even a story cuck and even I know how retarded this is.

without a doubt, though the remaster is flawed
t. raging autist i like both doom and quake but also like halo

install Halo custom edition and then get combat evolved refined for it

>Get Instakilled if you don't go to the """strategically placed""" medkits or cover
It's almost like rushing in with no plan is a stupid idea, and the game punishes you for it. And all the "instakill shit" is seeable due to good windup animations and predictable enemy behavior. That's what makes Halo fun. It's consistent, and it challenges you by making you think about encounters instead of blindly shooting everything in sight. That's what separates Halo from run-of-the-mill shooters with forgettable campaigns.
>akin to a walking simulator
Vehicles exist; enemies exist. You're never just walking for the sake of walking.

I played Halo 2 heroic co op with my friend back in the day on Xbox, and gave him my Halo CE on PC. He then turned out to be the Austin bomber. :(

This shit was the bomb.
>Halo 2 MP so popular, over a dozen people stayed online for a month to keep it alive after the servers shut down

so basically just don't play video games. no goal post were moved.

>buy their first remastered attempt (just Halo 1) thinking it will be ebin to play multiplayer again and with new graphics, but same engine

>multiplayer is a few maps from something else with a different engine
>singleplayer is alright, but half the time use old graphics

Also why the fuck did they change the gun sounds? They are the most amateur sounding sound effects ever

>halo has no movement mechanics
>halo has no weapon mechanics
halo is the shallowest FPS in existence because it was designed for controllers

Atmosphere? Yes. The actual game? No

my point still stands

>halo has no movement mechanics
Yeah, because sprint sure is innovative. I GET TO PUT MY GUN DOWN TO MOVE A BIT FASTER? WOW!
>halo has no weapon mechanics
Not true. Several weapons are capable of headshots, the plasma pistol has an EMP charge, the Plasma Rifle slows down enemy movement, the PP and PR have batteries that can overheat, the Needler causes an explosion when enough needles pierce a target, plasma grenades stick to infantry and vehicles, etc. The weapons in Halo are as deep as any other FPS' gallery of guns, if not moreso.

>>bunch of reload shit that again means nothing for core gameplay loop and requires no skill to perform

LMAO you never played halo 2 online. These were required to play against the best players. And I bet a million buckaroos you've never gotten a quadshot kill.

It's my favorite Halo

if you jump while meleeing with a rocket launcher you can kill the player with 1 hit

running and melee does more damage than a regular melee

if you crouch just before landing, you can avoid death from fall damage

instead of controlling power ups, you can bring powers ups to you by throwing or bouncing a grenade at the right angle at base of the overshield or camo/sniper etc.
CE has kino physics. This is how high level gameplay works.

You can even manipulate spawns with proper positioning, it gets really methodical.

I tend to avoid bad video games played by people who think Jackals can do anything relevant in Halo.

I'm so glad they brought that back for H5. Bringing weapons to you with explosives is the sickest shit. They even gave it a cool medal.

folks, this is every anti halo fag you are arguing with online. Legit have never played the game for more than two hours or even got decent at playing it. You really just outed yourself as a retard to anyone whose spent any amount of time playing Halo.

>more a akin to a walking simulator
so you never used a vehicle got it

>a sniper wielding a sniper rifle in any game won't fuck you up
>give a gun to a child and he can probably kill you from across the street
why is that so baffling

>targets move and jump extremely slow
>auto-aim
>weapons have no mechanics except holding crosshair on a slow target
na, I'm 100% correct. It's a game designed around controllers afterall.

>Mindlessly following the only path that will get you by is smarter than having an actual sandbox and options.
There's never one right way to approach a battle in Halo. Literally play any level in CE, 3, ODST, or Reach (2 can be guilty of narrow level design on Legendary). The most basic formation you come across are the grunts with one elite. Do you take out the elite to scare the grunts into fleeing, or do you take out the grunts first so they don't chip away at your shields with plasma shots as you battle the elite? There are plenty more examples of this that you can see by just watching people play the game. There are wrong ways to approach a battle, but that's how it should be. That's what keeps the game from being mindless. However, there are still a multitude of strategies to get you by in these games.
>>Missing the walk simulator point.
Then, elaborate better instead of using buzzwords that have no meaning.
