They did. It was based on the PC version that Gearbox fucked up and it took ten years for the classic mode graphics to be fixed. The remastered graphics were a lazy mishmash of Halo 3 and Reach models haphazardly thrown together. The remastered level geometry also didn’t match the actual geometry, which resulted in things like invisible trees blocking your bullets.
It’s not the first time where a click game got viral. But it’s probably the first time having this much success. What can I say, if people find it enjoyable, go for it. But what I don’t understand is, how people cheat with even such a click game, by using bots. It’s so funny.
edit:
Despite this seemingly benign gameplay
Calling this a game or gameplay is funny in itself. People are “playing” the dumbest things if they get bored.
The online play is garbage. I played in H1 tournaments around the US back when it was good and would love for them to do it better than they did with their remake. The remake actually remade Halo 1 PC, not the Xbox version.
According to who? Halo CE anniversary is higher fidelity than the original sure. But the art direction is all over the place and not at all consistent with the original style. Not to mention the fact they changed the geometry of everything without actually changing collision. Making shots hit walls/trees/objects that are no longer in that spot.
They also just took enemy models straight out of halo reach without any consideration for how those designs match the original games aesthetic.
If you like it, great. I’m happy you’re able to enjoy it. But as someone who grew up with the original the anniversary version was a slap in the face and a blatant cash grab.
That being said I don’t have much faith that a new remake would be much better.
I would like them to fix the 60 fps cutscene issue. None of the original cutscenes were designed for that high frame rate, they just artificially sped them up which makes a lot of the Halo 3 cutscenes look weird. I’d at least like a proper port, kind of like what Nixxes has been doing for Sony games on PC.
I tend to agree, but it would be nice to play with the nice, rich visuals of Halo 2 Anniversary. And not have to look at Lord Hood’s craggy visage or the slightly polygonal Marine heads.
Reach, on the other hand: no remaster would improve how that game looks. Still a stunning bit of work all these years later.
It kind of is, now that I’m thinking about it. It has vehicle sections, tight quarters on-foot sections, big weapons, snipers… It has a sampling of just about everything.
I know. My comment was about if he’s trying to prove himself right by firing everyone just in time for the use of AI. Hell was invented for scum suckers like Strauss Zelnick
