Re: Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)
Halo 1's stun on the plasma rifle was hilarious, even some of the best players forget about it and get all confused when they stop dead when shot with it.
Halo 2's 'noob hammer' plasma rifle was useful only if;
a: duel wielded with some human weapon
b: 3 shots and a melee
I loved Halo 3's take on plasma weapons against the flood. It never made sense to me how heat based laser weapons from the sentinels killed flood but plasma didn't. I think it was just because Bungie wanted to press the 'ZOMBIE SHOTGUN KILLING SPREE' mentality that is overused in pretty much every game.

Well, Halo did come around during the twilight days of the Quake series. The zombie shotgun killing spree (and zombies in general) has been beaten past the point of death over these last four years, though.
Please, games industry, no more zombies.

Alright, the Maw opening was just, breathtaking. And very somber...
Re: Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)
You liked it? That was the one environment I didn't like. I loved how the ship was the only thing there in the original game. That should be the focus, not random mountains and crap.

I lol'd in the original at them using a tan water effect for sand. At least, that's what it looked like...
Re: Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)
I'm pretty sure a crashed heavy cruiser in the middle of a desert is the focus. At least it was the only thing I focused on. I made a small comment on how neat the background looked, then again they did that with with EVERY level that had a previously blank background.

I always thought it was suppose to be dirt water. It's actually a shader model though... surprisingly not a water one.

Played a bit of it. Not overally impressed.

I played a few minutes in a shop today and the autoaim was insulting (and made me miss a lot of head shots as other guys walked in front of the grunts i was aiming at).
Also I thought the Autumn was meant to be perched just above a huge body of water (that it barely stopped in time).
