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

Mine looks like this (damn puppies!)

tl;dr of Halo: Anniversary as a game is this:

It looks better than the original, but it isn't as polished. It wins only through sheer strength, rather than through finesse.

The only really worthwhile addition is the online co-op, which is a major one. The remastered soundtrack and graphics just don't do a very good job of keeping with the atmosphere and tone of the original, which is a big thing for me. Actually, they make it feel more similar to Halo 3 than anything else. The new graphics are pretty though, I'll give them that.

That's what both my old headsets ended up like.

IMO, the pistol is a bit too easy to use compared to how it was in the Xbox version. More Magnetism or Autoaim maybe? I think it may be firing faster too, unfortunately.

In other words, I die a lot faster from this pistol compared to the Xbox pistol. Either way, 3sk doesn't really work well in this game for this pistol.

Are you talking about Flood in Campaign using it on you or what?

And I'm pretty positive it's the exact same Pistol.

No in multiplayer.

No in multiplayer.

Given that the multiplayer is just a modded Reach, you really should specify.

I haven't played any Anniversary multiplayer lately, but from what I played on the day it came out it didn't bear even the remotest resemblance to Halo 1 gameplay in any aspect.

If anything, it's made me like the needler more simply because it's turned into a shootout between 3sk Fast-Pistols. The Needler is the only thing fast enough to kill anyone in anniversary mode besides the pistol or rockets. The melee system is also shit now.

Hey everyone saying they should have upgraded the physics for anniversary campaign

THIS IS WHY THEY DIDN'T.

And I'm glad they chose not to.

You weren't one of those two-hit melee abusers, were you?

Nah. I preferred to use my gun over my fists, unless of course it came down to a melee fight.
