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

[ejburke]

It seems far more likely that people would respond negatively to a much more noticeable visual stimuli, like bright and or strobing lights, as well as brighter, and luminescent colors(all of which have been known to cause epileptic seizures in some), rather than the simple position of a small circle on the screen.

It is not the "simple position of a small circle". The vanishing line is lowered to coincide with the reticle. Every polygon in the scene is drawn differently because of the shift in perspective. And yes, the human brain can pick out this difference. And yes, the human brain can disagree with what it sees. Consciously or unconsciously. My hypothesis has a basis in established facts which you seem blissfully unaware of.

Does anybody know if there's a CE mod where someone tried to lower the reticle? With all the attempts made to recreate Halo 2 or 3 with CE, you'd think someone would have. Although, as I said, it ain't as simple as drawing a UI element a little bit further down.

I want our cinematic and Sgt Johnson mustache gripe sessions back

not cereal

All of Cortana's animations are nothing but derp. Why use mocap ever even? I didn't hear any Warthogs crash in the hangar on a10. What happened to the longsword?! Who are you and what happened to Captain Keyes. Proto-gravemind. TELEPORTATION RINGS! Foehammer is a statue. Halo didn't blow up properly. Why is there sound in space?! The infection form that jumped on the marine doesn't move when the other marine picks it up. The Chief runs weird. GUILTY SPARK'S LIGHTNING!

There's some topics for a gripe session. Additionally: Cereal

Johnson's 'stache. It deserves to be a meme.

ARE YOU A WIZARD!?

ARE YOU A WIZARD!?

No. I'm one of those icky straights.

My original argument/disagreement with what you said is that at close range the H3 shotgun is just as effective as its CE counterpart, and you brought up the use of it against the flood as an example, after which I used the same example to base my posts. You actually replied to a post of mine aimed at someone else when the H3 shotgun was brought into the argument.

H1 Shotgun can kill a Major Elite in 2 hits on Legendary.

H3 Shotgun can't kill a Brute minor in 1 hit on Normal.

And that's all I've got to say about that.

Actually, the H3 Shotgun can. However, though the damage hasn't really changed, the range has. In other words, both are equal in power, but the distance at which they can hit the enemy has been shortened.

Bullshit, compete bullshit. I've shoved the barrel of the Shotgun into the torso of a Brute Minor and pulled, only for him to still be alive and raging.

Psst, Brutes aren't Elites.

Sorry to bring this back up, but this damn thread moves so fast I didn't have the time to reply:

Can't tell if trolling...

I wasn't trolling, though I was decently tired so I admit I slapped some stuff together probably and it seems you horribly misunderstood me.

Clearly you have never played Tribes. Body parts rendered in first-person view is nothing new. Looking up and down has been around for almost two decades now and did not start with Halo. Multiple melee animations? Really? That kind of thing just comes with the technology advancements and is such a gimmick that it isn't even worth pointing out.

Seeing as I'm fairly young (hell I'm 16, yeah what a shocker) I haven't really played many of the older games you have. I was 9 when Halo 2 was out and it's probably one of the first games I remember playing on the Xbox/anything in general aside from my Gameboy and Pokemon Blue.

My main point I was trying to get across in my post was how innovative Halo was first-person wise with the animation system. It was just a lot more fluid/less rugged than other games around that time (again, from what I can remember). And I wasn't stating that Halo was the first game that allowed you to look up, I meant the first game I can recall where the overlays took it into account and moved the origin around.

Again, just trying to get across the point of Halo making big strides in the FP department. Multiple melee animations, while being a "gimmick," was still another stride (and again, maybe other games did it beforehand but my point still sorta stands).

Really? I've done the exact same and knocked him off his feet....regardless, the Brute Major can be taken down with two shots from the shotgun at closer range.
