8:52 there’s not really much space to move around here one could infer that the covenant at this point are trying to hold that position the best they can just dropped to stationary scarabs

it does sell the feel of the situation pretty well & it should have a going through hell vibe, i imagine that's hard to nail down

Really like your points about the construction of halo CE’s story - coming back to play it as an adult I was struck by how effortlessly functional the story is. It’s not groundbreaking, and it’s not intended to be, but it builds a world that can be fleshed out in the future in a story that has very little fat. It means that for players that just want to be pointed in a direction and told to kill aliens, the story is super accessible for them anyway. Meanwhile there’s just enough there to pull in people that want a bit more on this version of the future. And of course it lays a good foundation for the much more detailed world building of games like halo 2 or reach, without limiting any possibilities for future writing.

Honor Guards have special shields that are immune to ballistic weapons. Only plasma and explosives can break their shields. I'd recommend playing with tips turned on to help you get familiar with what's different in the mod.

Jorge closing that door after he and Noble Six enters that room is such a badass moment. To keep the dreaded Covenant from escaping. Literally a "you're trapped in here with ME" moment.

You pushed through to the end of Two Betrayals!

I've always made it a challenge to try not to run out of my UNSC weapon ammo during the Forerunner levels, since the ammo depletion is especially egregious.

I'll never stop loving your British quips and jokes, lol, never stop doing them ✌😅

Sadly i wasnt there on both streams. I would love to get the last Stream. You can recharge Covenant Energyweapons on those Purple structures with the Green light. If the Weapond is fully charged step away or the weapond will overheat and stay overheated till you get away from it.

I think the lack of verticality and so on in sacred icon was a deliberate choice, along with the high volume of flood enemies, to guide you to play the level by running and dodging enemies. Same with quarantine zone for large chunks - I genuinely think the devs intended you to avoid encounters as much as possible. Arbiter has camo and they want you to use it, even as a kid that’s how I played these levels

Here's what makes the Cortana level a lot better - the energy sword! I almost never used another weapon against the flood.

Dont remake neither remaster. Fuck this lazy crap. Fuck 343. Fuck Microsoft Gaming. Fuck Phil Spencer. Fuck Bethesda and their lazy asses. Fuck Todd. Fuck Xbox. God bless From Soft. Fuck Konami. Fuck EA. Fuck season passes. Fuck xp boosts. Fuck paid skins. Fuck all your stupid, lazyass, greedy, manipulative, incomplete, incompetent bullshit. I do not care what shit you poop out next because i already know what i will get. Thank you Bungie, for all the awesomeness that was your Halo.

Cortana (H3) might be the worst for me.

For Halo Infinite it's like they forgot that Halo 2 and 3 exist, they needed both to make Halo Infinite's open world as something special.

Huge plot hole. Why didnt the fkood just steal some small ships and send out 100 or so flood to deep soace on a unknown planet and take it over. Why have all your eggs in one bag.

I LOVE the allid flood scene. I really wish they were on your side for the entire level.

They should have a regular level and out of nowhere regular enemies start transforming into flood. Turns out the brutes you are fighting were part of the squad from halowars 2 that was exposed to the flood. Since they had a proto gravemind it was smart enough to know it wouldnt win. So it infected a ton of banished but didnt transform them. They just layed in wait. Then you hear over the radio that flood are showing up all over the galaxy. That the entire banished is a vector and every one of them are fkood time bombs.

Halo 3 is the best game, Halo CE can't be number 1 by impact alone. Halo CE has the best music and started it all (i like the Flood plot twist so much) but the level design is terrible, wonky vehicle physics and jumping as well, the Needler is just a very bad weapon (just like the assault rifle) and i hate Rocket Flood so much (also fun watching people get rekt by them).

Halo is all about the flood. They are the center of everything.

Thank you for bringing up keys "to war" comment. Like they are already actively in a war and nost of the men at the base just got out of firefights. How can you go to war when you are already at war.

My first playthrough of halo 3 on launch night i enjoyed every second of it. And compared to the modern games every mission in halo 3 is better.

The best flood battle was that snow field with the wraiths firing at you. Idk seeing zombies in the snow just feels even more creepy. Snow is suppose to be happy.

If 343 is really making a Halo CE remake, they should hire the creators of SPV, they are amazing!

One detail : the entrance gate of the facility is designed as a face. In includes two lamps for the eyes and the entrance itself as the screaming mouth. Even when I was a kid, playing this mission the first time in my life, I thought this gate was the door of the Hell.

A friend once pointed out that Kat's death follows the scene where the team talk to command on the radio, and when asked if the Covenant could track it she says she could. She died because the Covenant elite hacked their comms and knew where to set up the ambush, and just like the poetism with the rest of the deaths, she was the hacker on the squad.

Definitely my fav mission of any Halo, I love playing this with my GF and splitting to take each area then returning back to the base

Don't Remake or remaster halo ce, make a what if scenario where operation (I forgot what it's called) actually went through, where all the forces that were gonna strike at the covenant right before the events of reach happen. We can have not only master chief and l8nda 058 here, but noble team among others too. We'd even have minor characters like stacker and chips Dubbo return too

Halo CE and Halo SPV3 are built on the same game, but have two very distinct visions. CE wanted to create a far more polished and balanced gameplay loop, while SPV3 feels like it’s trying to show off the capabilities of the engine and push it to its limit. The gameplay of SPV3 feels far less like a combat dance, and more like an erratic fistfight. Both are viable ways of gameplay, but they’re also different styles, so comparing the two is like comparing water and oil. And I think SPV3 kinda shoots itself in the foot by being a remake of CE. It really ties itself to the game, and will always be compared to the original, instead of being seen as its own thing. In all honesty I think SPV3 works far better with the Lumoria campaign, since you can kinda look at it in the context of a Halo fangame, instead of a Halo remake.

It’s perfect for what it is and set out to do- a 4-5 hour story/setting driven horror game that leaves you with no answers and a depressing ending. I wasn’t impressed with games like Alien Isolation, but I played through this one in a single seating. Awesome experience. Seeing Caz fight so hard to make it back to his family, only for it to all be for nothing and realizing it at the end was particularly impactful.

Gravemind is not the longest Halo level it's Two Betrayal and Assault on control room

Halo Combat Evolved slowly introduces enemies, vehicles, and weapons--and even has the normal/inverted tutorial segment as part of the story. Cortana also looks more military in CE. SPV3 just throws everything at the player at once. If they added the Drones to the tunnels, and the Pillar of Autumn, it'd be a nightmare. I also really don't like how they boxed the AA wraith in with indestructible barriers, or how the force-field preventing access to the next area on Halo just magically deactivates. The SPV3 team could have taken the opportunity to make that tunnel look a lot more like a cave--although to be fair, that line "not a natural formation" worked REALLY well in the early days, when players were looking in the wrong direction.

We need the treatment that created Doom 2016

I really like the 343 Forerunner esthetic and spartan armor, they feel powerful But for the rest, natural unsc or covenant environment and units i prefer the og version

caz does actually make his own choice when he choice to get roy at the roof, i do have to say things absolutely feel "too" convenient, everything breaks after you've already crossed them with them rarely breaking whilst you are on them, and telephone calls happen exactly when you walk in except for a couple. The yellow paint also feels a bit overdone with the random paint splatters on the path you have to walk or jump when it's already a very linear game, there isnt really any yellow walls or flooring either that'd require yellow paint so it gets confusing where all of the paint comes from. The last thing i want to mention is how linear it is, which yeah i get it's how it was meant to be played, but there are just so many rooms that are unopenable yet it doesnt make sense why, some show that they are blocked and ones like the cabins make sense being locked but normal doors just cant be opened, i know having more explorable areas would cost a lot of time but that many doors just feels off no matter what happens tbh. Also the monster sections feel extremely linear, you're given a large area to sneak around yet there's only this conveniently pathed hiding spots to get to where you need to go, rather than multiple branches, also just something that puts me off a little

I only now realized... The protagonist is called McLeary, which reads sorta like McReady...

To me the game isn't about the gameplay, but it's about the people you meet in the game. People can look at the game for what it is, but for me I was in love with the environment, the body horror and the characters. The game was merely just a vessel for the story and the deliver of everything else. Sometimes a game doesn't have to be everything it "should be" to sell the message of the story, or to make you attached to the characters, or to feel the weight of the hopeless situation caz is seen struggling through. The environments are wholly unique in every portion of the map, it's wrought with immense detail, every part of the game is wholly unique and independent from one another, there's brilliant story telling that mirrors the moments in the intro segment of the story. I don't think every story must follow a strict narrative recipe to be good, and I certainly don't think that should be the case for this game either. People loved tattle tale's the walking dead because of the characters, not for its"gameplay" I genuinely cried through a lot of the emotional moments in the story, it made me feel something, and that's what matters ultimately. I only have one complaint: I wish I could've been given the choice to somehow save everyone on the rig, but I believe to some extent that wouldnt've worked out at all for the people on the mainland. It's evident that our trio of survivors were sick with whatever this *thing* was that had killed all their co-workers from the very beginning. I believe a single ending communicated the hopelessness of the situation much better than 3 or 2 different endings would've, it made the overall conclusion of the situation sit just that much heavier on the soul. Another thing I wanted to mention was "The lack of agency" If you were given a ton of agency in the gameplay to do as you pleased the player the game's story would've lost its potency, the story would've taken a backseat as you went on expeditions throughout the rig. And don't get me wrong, that sounds fun as hell, but I don't think this is the kind of game that needs that when the story itself and the immersive environment is meant to be the main appeal to the game.

Seems like they looked at SPV3 and thought the best plan would be to copy it. I think replicating and expanding the original game is a great idea, you could add additional levels for the Chief, Split Jaw, Arbiter and maybe the ODSTs… for example, missions including setting up, defending and evaking alpha base, the Covie’s perspective on the flood and forerunner tech (similar to the excellence of Quarantine Zone) and the ODSTs ending Truth and Reconciliation

I think Halo CE was and still is amazing, but despite all of its triumphs and ground breaking qualities IMO it has some of the worst level design of the series and when I say this, I don't mean set pieces nor the early levels but the latter ones are some of the least fun I've had in halo (the maw specifically because of how mazelike the structure is, playing cornhole with grenades to destroy the engine and how annoying the sentinels are, but it does have decent escape section.) Not including 343 titles the Prometheans are horrible and halo 5 should stay at the bottom and one point of quality I don't see mentioned about halo 5 is it being by far the least accessible of the series being an Xbox exclusive even today halo 4 was better than most people give it credit for but the Prometheans being as annoying as they are bogs it down significantly. When it comes to halo i find that people will most commonly put the one they played first as the favorite (I'm no different) and I think that is ultimately a good thing because none of the games really aged badly and a 23 year old gaming still being a worth while play truly does show how good the series itself is.

The Thing traumatized me as much as the Blob did before that and I will *NEVER* play this game from the Chinese Room because they do NOT disappoint...good lord the Rapture and the feels. I WILL however recommend this game to tons of people...and I will forever hate that I won't know more about whatever the hell this thing is...great video man... Gonna watch some Old School sesame street then sleep under my kids old crib in the shed

Gameplay was disappointing, but everything else was good

SPOILER SPOILER The game would have been remarkably better if Caz survived the ordeal. It would be great sequel territory if he had. But his death is not deserved, especially since he stopped running from problems and went back for Roy's insulin. Those facts together should have been enough to spare him a gruesome fate (at least in this game).

I feel like if you're a Halo superfan and are really into the games and lore, this is perfect for you, but watching you play it definitely makes me appreciate the restraint Bungie had for Halo CE. A lot of additions are cool if you've already experienced the game and are like "what if we had this", such as the presence of more enemies like Brutes and weapons like the BR and SMG, as well as suppressed versions on TnR, but I think they can be overwhelming. Plus the levels seem to be very long compared to CE (which already can be decently lengthy for FPS missions). I don't like some of the encounter design compared to CE, definitely seems very busy and not as well paced as the base game. I think this just goes to show that CE is an absolutely GOATed game that has 100% stood the test of time and Bungie are geniuses for making it.

They said they would remake not remaster CE. Many think they are remaking it by adding in things that couldn’t be added because of time constraints or weren’t in the lore yet

Comment

I totally agree about how the Forerunners should have remained mysterious. I know they will likely not back-pedal on this lore, but I do not like the "humans were an ancient space species that then got devolved" lore. The original trilogy only really implied that humans were to succeed the Forerunners, (EDIT: Or were their descendants. I guess I briefly forgot that that was implied too), forming a more organic and natural progression. I liked that a lot more than the Forerunners getting mad that the Precursors chose humanity to inherit the mantle and stealing it for themselves and basically causing the Flood in the process.

they always put to many enemies in mods.

Many years ago I had a rather unusual and unique experience when I played this level on legendary and it was when I was on the bridge where echo 419 was shot down by the bridge where she was meant to pick us up that the banshees turned around and made a pass back at me and this is the unusual part, they both hit me with the banshee bombs as I was driving away with my warthog that I was knocked off it and then the warthog ended up plummeting into the abyss below. I was basically left alone on the bridge with both banshees shooting at me on both sides that I had no choice but to run back into the place that I came from and then I made a rather interesting discovery. Apparently there was a hidden warthog just beneath the platform that you came from that connected to the bridge that bungie had put there just in case you and I managed to jump in it and drive all the way to the launching area where the long sword fighter was docked with just seconds to spare. I wish I could have recorded that moment because no one seems to believe me when I tell them that there’s a hidden warthog in the area where foe hammer gets shot down. It truly shows how much detail bungie put into this game when they first made it.
