Halo: Campaign Evolved

Es un muy buen remake, vale totalmente la pena. La jugabilidad mejoro mucho. Las unicas cosas que no me gustaron: * La cara de cortana * Mientras que las misiones nuevas son divertidas la historia en ellas es irrelevante, hubiese preferido una mision donde el Jefe esta con el equipo azul intentando capturar a un Profeta * La cara de Jonson llega a sentirse rara

It's aight Get it on sale No multi

Very good, especially the 2nd half of the game where they clearly put alot of love into the most

this has been awesome, i loved the original halo ce and this has been a great and faithful remake

Some really nice modernization but with all the DNA of the original game to hit the nostalgia right where it feels good. It's a ton of fun and I haven't even cracked into the remix feature yet.

So, this game is fun, but feels a lot like how Combat Evolved Anniversary did, which is an expensive test to let the devs try new things and get a feel for the setting they're designing for. It largely relies on the structuring of Combat Evolved, with most changes I noticed being shortening certain paths or removing redundant/boring sections of certain levels, and adding in weapons from later games such as the beam rifle and SMG, although the SMG ends up largely being unused in my playthrough due to the assault rifle being a better all around option, and the lack of dual-wielding to justify it's use means it becomes more of a novelty instead of a key part of a rotating arsenal as it was in H2/H3. The bonus missions are fun enough and fast paced enough to not outlive their welcome, but still feel repetitive by the end due to the nature of it all taking place in a covenant ship. I feel like the story including gruff unagreeable woman #3 isn't as bad as many make it out to be, with there being notable lore reasons for ODSTs disliking the chief, but the fact her and her unit are in grunt gear instead of their ODST gear is a weird oversight, especially due to how janky facial animations in the bonus missions look. I also felt the amount of self-referential moments detract more from the experience than anything, even the marvel-style introduction of all of the covenant species featured in the bonus missions. The biggest "no" and main reason I can't recommend this game is the lack of any competitive multiplayer. Realistically all they had to do was release a batch of maps mirroring the original combat evolved maps, or even just direct ports of the halo reach remakes of those maps, and basic P2P matchmaking and it'd be better than not releasing anything at all, but for some reason prioritized not cannibalizing players from a largely dying infinite over getting more eyes on what is supposed to be their vision for how Halo gameplay and story should play from now on. If a multiplayer patch is ever released I'll consider updating the review, but otherwise I couldn't recommend this to anyone unless they really just hate competitive multiplayer.

This will contain spoilers: tl;Dr is that it's probably the definitive way to play Halo 1 and the hate is genuinely forced, it's not without it's problems though. The good: Gameplay is fun and snappy, everything I expected from a modern Halo title. The amount of skulls and the introduction of remix adds a level of replayability that I wasn't expecting The graphics are stunning it kept the atmosphere from the original that the anniversary edition couldn't hope to capture. The addition of the bonus missions was a nice way to introduce the new Johnson VA the og VA was SO iconic it was still hard getting used to the new one I appreciate that some of the characters were more fleshed out. The bad: Performance is pretty dang good when the game runs but the constant crashes are unacceptable, there is clearly something wrong on the backend because I will crash over and over after loading back into a checkpoint even if it's moving just a couple feet. Some things are just TOO hand holdy. The introduction of stealth elites in the prequel missions were handled great with Johnson pointing out the moving sand but in the main game Cortana pointing out stealth elites falls so flat when giant red trackers pop up over their heads. This addition probably would've been fine for easier difficulties but it SHOULD NOT be on by default. Hitboxes are REALLY bad on some enemy types, Brutes are impossible to hit a headshot on, Elites are similar and the sniper is no longer hitscan and you can FEEL IT. The ugly: The loud insatiable Halo "fans" continue to parrot information that is just patiently false and it's hurting the community at large. Y'all have probably seen the photo of national women's day that people are toting as the "entire" dev team when it is in all actually barely a quarter of the team. The "girl boss" ODST has 30 seconds of screen time in cutscenes and says one or two disparaging things about the Chief which makes sense due to the animosity ODSTs held towards Spartans but by the end appreciates and respects him enough to sacrifice herself for the greater good of the war. The rumors that she is unkillable are false, the two main companions Williams and Johnson can't die while they have dialogue. The complaint about her "1 tapping you" are disingenuous as well because Johnson does the same. Additionally the complaints about not being able to kill the female officers on the bridge are unfounded because it's just another hitbox error, if you shoot them in the hips or lower they go down in one or two shots and it's reversed for the male characters if you shoot them in the torso they can tank more shots than anyone. Verdict: the campaign is good, but it needs serious fixes I'm confident when Halo 2 remake comes out that it will launch in a much better state
