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

The title update's supposed to get rid of reticle bloom on a few precision weapons, make armor lock less cheap by making so if your stuck before going into armor lock you still die, plus they're switching the melee system to 3 instead of the usual 2. Can't remember what other changes were made.

Wait it will take 3 hits now? Oh my god I might actually stay in Reach now.

Glad to see Reach is getting some more love, and I love the plugin-ablity of the new title update. I have no issues with bloom, infact to me it seems more Halo 1, which is why I love it. So I'm glad I can choose not to have it turned off.

Wait, why? I know the Pistol actually had bloom if you held down the trigger while firing it, but nobody did that so it hardly seems relevant.

Didn't guns in the first game do variable melee damage? i.e. some guns did more per hit than others, or am I imagining things? Either way, the three-hit melee change is a step in the right direction.

No, only Halo 2 had variable melee damage. It also had damage that varied depending on whether you were moving or falling, like Marathon.

That's already been posted. That c10 video had that in it.

3-hit melees, you say? Here's hoping that they actually made vehicles, Invasion, and BTB fun.

Actually melee damage in Halo 1 does vary. I believe it changes with how fast you're moving.

What he said!

i dont ever recall seeing that in halo 1's tags, unless its a biped / actor_variant modifier. that melee damage tags just had a straight value.

i never played halo 2 mp enough to know from experience, but i do recall reading a bit about player velocity being calculated with melee. also i think the brute shot's melee was ridiculously high compared to other guns because of the blade, but that might have just been halo 3.
