Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)

guys is it me or does the sniper cross hair look bigger? cuz it doesn't feel right at all...

Yeah it's bigger, and it has a COD sound.

it's even bigger in classic mode.... i thought that was supposed to be untouched...

There's no reason for them to have changed it. It's not like the AI is going to complain about no-scoping.

I find the new sniper crosshair easier to use than the original one, personally.

And I didn't notice any autoaim more drastic than what the original Xbox version had vOv

Maybe I'm just too PC. The autoaim really doesn't feel this bad in reach though.

So yeah, this game is fun as hell and the updated graphics are alright. The cutscenes though, are just embarassingly bad. Cortana looks like the Xbox kid whenever she talks. I actually almost skipped the opening cutscene because I was cringing so hard. The original animations did a much better job of portraying characters with dignity and emotion, imho.

Random HA10 thoughts: I've played up through a50 so far, and that whole level looks fantastic. The ground portion is a bit of a departure from the original barren desert look, but I like the change. The covenant architecture inside the ship is even more impressive. a10 and a30 are alright. The actual bsps are well-done, but I'm not a fan of the yellow all over a10, or the pinkness of a30. a30 would've looked so much better with normal lighting.

I'd have to say that the skyboxes are the best thing about the game so far. Both a30 and a50 no longer feel like giant plateaus in the middle of nowhere.

The menu in the game is atrocious. Is it me, or does the active camo look in classic mode look way off?

I'm more excited about the multiplayer maps, although I'm sure it won't take long until I remember why I stopped playing Reach.

Not just the camo, I noticed the water looks off too.

And yeah, multiplayer is a complete waste of time. It still feels exactly like Reach, except if possible even more slow and boring.

Does anyone listen to the Roosterteeth Podcast (formerly known as the DrunkTank) ? They had 3 people who worked on anniversary edition on the podcast and they talked about their roles on the team and their involvement in the game.

They sounded like.. they had no fucking clue what they were talking about. :x
