Why is Halo Campaign Evolved SO BAD?!
Game feels more like a fan-made Unreal project than it does an official AAA remake. It's filled with bugs and you can clearly see many points in gameplay and cutscenes where they cut corners and paid little attention to detail. The gameplay also feels very dull and not a single weapon sounds or feels satisfying to use, not even the Shade turrets and I have always enjoyed to pouring plasma on to enemies. It is also filled with poorly thought out mechanics, a prime example being every time you switch to the magnum the game decides you have to chamber another round, which is an un-skippable animation and means you have to wait a solid 2 seconds after switching before you can actually shoot the pistol. Not to mention the insane amount of hand-holding the game does with some of it you're just unable to turn off. The game isn't bad, but it's not worth $50 and definitely not worth the $70. Especially since this game is only the campaign and nothing else. There's really just no reason to play this over the MCC to be honest.
Of course they ruined it. I'm requesting a refund because the dialogue suffers from whats been widely labeled as 'Millennial Writing'. Lingo like "cooked", and "aura" actually appear in the game despite it taking place 500 years in the future. Sergeant johnson smiling directly at the camera in cutscenes and giving forced one liners. The cutscenes dont happen in engine and are poorly directed too leading to weird cuts and continuity errors. Other than that its still halo so the gameplay is fun Its just a totally unnecessary and overpriced remake. The version in the master chief collection still remains the definitive version to play. Not even a basic multiplayer mode either. Really dissapointing.
Not fun
I REALLY want to like this game, I do, but man there is just something about it that rubs me the wrong way. It looks good, sounds good, plays good... but man it just doesn't feel right. 343 (I refuse to call them Halo Studios) just does not know why people like Halo. This is the 2nd time they have remade the original game yet they still don't see what made the original magical. Sure the game looks better but at the same time it doesn't and don't even get me started on the horrific writing in the prequel missions. 343 needs to really take a step back and really analysis the halo franchise. Infinite could have been so much more than what it was but they f***** it up in classic 343 fashion. They didn't learn from CE, they didn't learn from 4, or 5, or Infinite. Will they learn from this? Probably not. Here's hoping Asha will knock some sense into them like she did with Todd Howard. I'm not saying I could make a better game, but they seriously need to actually play and study what came before.
honestly the game was better than i thought. some of the flood missions were actually really great but the entire game just looks like ♥♥♥♥. its bad. its blurry and reflections flickers and blink. even just the ar texture looks like its covered in blinking mold.rocks are a smudgy mess and trees are even worse. i took a bunch of screenshots and literally none of them look presentable. none. im on a 4070 12gb. i cant imagine how bad this is on xbox. it just wont look even decent unless you have top 1% of hardware. screenshots somehow look worse than the actual game. ig it just sits in the steam library until like 2031 when the average person has access to like a 5080 and can run the game decently until then it will just look like life before i knew i had to have glasses. i will say i am able to actually play the game so this has to be the smoothest release of a post bungie halo game to date.
this is the worst Halo game I've ever played there are mods that are better than this game do not buy it
How on earth did they take a game as great as Halo and make it WORSE than the original?!?
New missions suck, New Dialogue is horrible and cringe. Graphics are good, but doesnt make me want to play any further in the game. Hopeful I can get a refund and this studio gets it together.
Never again will i fall for your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in trying to provide myself comfort and the joys of being a child again. I boycotted your products but i bought this one to give myself a sense of childhood and relaxation. But i lied to myself. There will be a free palestine. ♥♥♥♥ genocide
