Halo CE:A
 

I wanted to make a discussion thread for this game. My copy came today and it was worth every cent of the $30 I spent on it.

****ing. Amazing.

What do you guys think of it so far? I've only been able to put in an hour so far. My opinion may be *heavily* influenced by the nostalgia that is tied with Halo CE, so I'm ecstatic about this game. Beautiful Reach-like graphics, the in game engine switcher back to classic with press of a button, and the remastered sounds. I don't know about you, but now I ****ing LOVE beating down an Elite.

Also, does anybody else think that Legendary is easier than other games? I (somewhat) breezed through that first level. Maybe I'm just influenced by the fact that Reach Legendary was nearly impossible. :shrug:

So did they rerecord all the audio or is it actually remastered?

I think they probably just remastered the voice-overs, but the sound effects (like when you're beating the crap out of an Elite or you smack a grunt in the face) are completely redone. I can try to find the youtube video that came out a couple months ago showing the difference in sound between the two versions.

the TL;DR version of the game: It is a completely remastered game, then they got lazy and didn't remaster the multiplayer.

Halo 1 had the hardest legendary difficulty, if it has been dumbed down... :facepalm:

Also, I have yet to see a single person playing this or actually talking about it. :LOL:

According to Rooster Teeth, it's fully original.

That's, err, backwards. The single player was untouched outside of graphics, whereas the multi-player was tuned to work more like Reach. In fact, you can play the maps in Reach, either by importing from CE:A or buying them separately.

That is what I meant, instead of adding a graphic layer, new sounds, ect to the current mp, they just took 7 maps, and slapped them on Reach. Also off topic, Halo 4 will be using a modified Reach engine, the next year for me is ruined.

I dunno about sounds, but they did quite a bit to the graphics. Go to Rooster Teeth's YouTube channel and watch the videos they made of each map.

Honestly, my gripe is they only did 7 maps. I'd have liked to have seen all the maps re-done. Geohydrophobia, anyone? And I need more Blood Gulch. :cry:

Release all the maps in the remake of a game? No, release some, then use the rest as DLC bait.

All I know is that the original was amazing and so is the remake. Also, I give absolutely no ****s whatsoever about multiplayer. If I bought games for their multiplayer aspects, I would have given a **** about MW3. I play the man's part of the game: campaign :fyeah:

And this is why I play TF2.

Finally, someone who also holds my opinion on this. :awesome:

All of the audio was rerecorded, even the main score. It sounds so amazing :win:

I don't like that you can't look down and see your legs >_< Other than that, it's a ****ing fantastic update. :yaybow: I also like the "Analyze" feature with Kinect.

Is this...is this supposed to be important? Do people like looking at their legs a lot in a games?

Probably not, I just wanted to see it updated :shrug:

:highfive:
Bro, multiplayer doesn't make a game. The story makes the game. The Modern Warfare series is just for pure shoot and kill pleasure. It's more an arcade game.

The character animation for CEA is hilarious, but other than that, I wuv. :smile:

Found 1 person playing it today. :lol:

The game does seem slightly glitchy on the cinematics, but that could be my Xbox (it's 4 years old...) I might try installing the game to the hard drive and see how it goes from there.

Story makes a game yes, but multiplayer MADE Halo, the whole point for people asking for a remake was JUST for the multiplayer with Xbox Live. Hell, when Xbox Live was announced, everyone harassed Bugnie for Halo 1.5.
