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

[Warsaw]

Good, because melee abusers are a lower form of life.




As for Anniversary's pistol...fucking joke. The whole playlist is a joke. No bloom? Really, this is a good idea, how? Uber fire rate WITH accuracy?

Seriously, fuck Reach multiplayer. I'd rather play Call of Duty (and I hate CoD). Thankfully, I have Crysis 2 for my Halo-esque multiplayer needs. Gem of a game, right there. Totally underrated.

last I checked it had bloom, just not a lot.

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.

Really? The pistol in Halo 1 had absolute rediculous amounts of auto-aim in comparison to Reach's. You could hit somebody half-way across Blood Gulch. With a red crosshair even. That's a fuck load of auto-aim range.

Try that in the Forge World variant. Ain't gonna happen.

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.

Wait... because Halo PC/CE multiplayer isn't about 3sk Fast-Pistols? o.o


And Edit: I just now noticed that the Re-mastered model of the Halo ring in the UI has visible depth! They actually made the ring's surface three dimensional, with mountains and such. My respect for these guys just grew a ton.

With the DMR on the other hand

Everyone begs bungie to bring back the halo 1 pistol

everyone bitches when they don't

343i brings back the halo 1 pistol

everyone bitches because they did


Maybe you guys forgot how unfair that thing is with no lag to complicate matters?

I'm surprised at how negative people can be over such an amazing graphical upgrade to arguably one of the most fun campaigns I've ever played.
I mean, they literaly told you exactly what to expect. And as far as I can tell from youtube videos, it gave exactly that.

Might get the game in a few months for the nostalgia, we'll see.

Seriously, fuck the new Reach multiplayer. I'd rather play Call of Duty (and I hate CoD). Thankfully, I have Crysis 2 for my Halo-esque multiplayer needs. Gem of a game, right there. Totally underrated.

ftfy

@Mookz: Yeah, I'm not sure what the difference is. Hell, it may just be where the crosshair is on the screen and increased firing rate. All I know is, besides the desire to use something besides the norm, there really isn't any reason to stray from the pistol in Anniversary editions of the Multiplayer.

IIRC the pistol on its own is incredibly inefficient against Elites, especially on harder difficulties when enemy shields and health are ramped up.

The pistol is shit against anything other than grunts and jackals to an extent. I mostly use the Needler and plasma pistol or plasma rifle on higher difficulty settings. I'll grab a shotgun where it presents itself.

[TVTyrant]

Shotgun and plasma rifle. The combo of kings.
