As for the gameplay of the campaign: how 2 play fps :lol Very slick gamepad controls tho :)

Wow, they didn't balance the sniper by having it NOT be accurate from the hip in this port? :doge

Right now: The port is buggy. As expected by 343. But hey, at least crouch-while-moving is in the multiplayer now, so I can at least STOMACH some of this before it dies again because 343 is clownshoes.

Holy hell. I've forgotten how horrible the spawns in Combat Evolved are.

Big Team is busted, so I'm doing 4v4. I'm having fun with it (in a cheap nostalgia way) but goddamn if the Magnum and spawns don't sour me on it. :lol

Holy fuck.

Ended up playing it rather going to bed and did the first level. It was great. Well paced, fun scenarios, nice set pieces, great art direction, and interesting story set up. Halo Reach didn't grab me because I'm all like "who are these people" but CE is great at grabbing me into the halo universe.

Now I'm on planet halo. Reminds me of playing co op just driving around the beach area in a warthog.

Feel dumb never giving the series a proper chance until now.

Only issue is the auto lock on. What the fuck.

Wait. I can't tell from your post. Are you playing Halo: CE for the first time ever? The first half of the game is so good. Yeah, landing on Halo for the first time was a really cool moment. Heck I'd say it still has its charm even if someone were to play it for the first time in 2020.

Yes and no. Upon release I played some co-op at a friend's house. I didn't like it at all. The controls made no sense to me (I'm convinced he had it in inverted). I'd go to Halo LANS occasionally and the mp never clicked. Eventually got over my fps elitism with Counterstrike, Half Life, Chronicles of Riddick. Got an Xbox in 2005 and never bothered getting Halo CE. Halo 3 came out and interest was piqued. Played a level at someone's dorm in college. There. I've listed all the times I've ever played Halo.

But dabbling isn't the same as playing in earnest. And I'm no longer a PlayStation fantard that considers Halo inferior to MGS so I can actually give it a shot.

Considering buying a 360 and getting Halo CE original and playing 2 and 3 that way rather than waiting for the stupid MCC updates.

I don't see why you would want to play Halo: CE on the 360 or the OG Xbox. People forget it has a decent amount of framerate issues here and there.

Can't you just switch into "old graphics" mode on Halo:CE on Steam and on the MCC on XBone?

...You mean Multiplayer?

"Main menu->Multiplayer->Social/Competitive playerlists (click Social, nobody plays Tryhard besides Tryhards)->Click type to custom (choose your modes, GriffballASHIT), choose your games (Reach, CE/either or?)->Start

...You mean Rooster Teeth/Machinama?
You don't. Unless you get a group to do filming/etc. with.

I'm about burned out because I've got like 10 or so levels to finish for the "season pass" (ugh) to get the blue-flames. If they do another 2XP I'd be happy to play with you since the XP gain will be less painful.

Red and Blue are the teams. But nobody really calls multiplayer RvB. :doge

That's why I wasn't sure if you meant the TV series made by Rooster Teeth or the multiplayer.

I don't recall Halo 2 Vista being too bad. But I do recall Gearbox's port of the first being pretty bad with some things (in graphics).

The Gearbox port seemed fine to me graphically. Not counting what some hawk would catch like some super duper Digital Foundry comparison. The main issue was optimization. Like I had built a computer in 2003 and it would have zero problems with what the game was demanding, yet the game was struggling unless I had it running at 800x600. Eh ok. Fine, that's still a higher res than what you would get at 480i, but I should have been playing it at 1600x1200 (was that a 4:3 resolution? I can't remember anymore, but it would have been something like that). And I think there were some framerate issues with the game if it wasn't locked to 30fps. Which, again, was better than what you would get on the OG Xbox that would have framerate drops even though it capped at 30fps (same issues if you played it on 360). I think that might have had something to do with how the game was made though? Not sure. But yes something was off about the initial PC port if you didn't lock it to 30fps. It might be something dumb like how some game animation things are tied to framerate. I'm not exactly well versed in those kind of programming things.

So anyone can give me 1 (ONE) good goddamn reason why i can't play Halo (Reach or otherwise) in local coop, on PC?  >:(

hmm... yeah then I guess this all comes down to "we don't give a shit if it's something only 3% of all our players would use."

and yeah that made sense back when people were playing mostly on monitors that were like 21 inches 4:3. But it's shittier now when you can easily hook up a PC to a 55 inch 16:9 TV. Ah well.

Double XP for the season pass. Every medal you get will be double it's value.

It speeds up the shit progression for the Halo Reach item season pass. (The blue helmet flames that were Bungie exclusive is on the season pass)

We'll see. But honestly: Big Team Battle wasn't able to be played at launch (up to now), so if you were looking to play Blood Gulch, the pistol spread issue, sound, etc. already would stop you. We'll see if the patch fixes any of this. I'm waiting for them to fix the achievements in Reach so I can blow through that and delete the single AND multiplayer just like I'm close to doing for CE to make space for 2-3 (the two multiplayers I'm interested in) and ODST.
