Subject: So I was digging around...

We were moving from our previous house to this one and in the midst of cleaning out my room, I came across it. The original Halo CE disc which was still compatible with my 360. I hadn't had the opportunity to play it since my days as a kid. For all nostalgia purposes, I decided to beat it on legendary alone on my first try.

As it turns out, most parts were easy but some were just of a ridiculous difficulty. I'd have to say the easiest mission was the first one. Just spam nades, fire some pistol rounds. Room clear, move on.

As well as realization on what made Halo itself in the first place. Apparently Bungie had no regard for texture qualities back then so landscapes were massive and limitless. Now they realize that smaller landscapes mean greater textures. Is this fact? I'm unsure. The mattter is, huge ass explosions and the such made an unprecidented hit way back when and those of us who recognize it's face still swing on back to say hi.

Thinking with Portals since '07

Battlefield 3 sucks.

There's like 2 levels with some size... the rest are smaller or as big as the sequels' levels.

And when I said as big, I meant the walkable area. In Halo 1, the only things outside the levels are some clifftops and a texture ground below the level. In Halo 2 and 3 levels there's massive 3d vistas reaching for kilometers. Levels like Delta Halo and Tsavo Highway...
