I just wanted something because, sadly, I was only 5 when Halo CE was released. I haven't played it yet because the graphics compared to now SUCK.
That "something" you wanted is the game itself. The purpose of a public beta isn't to stand in for a finished game.
Also, Halo 1's original aesthetic is amazing. Heck, the aesthetics of a lot of games made in that time period are amazing; at that point, they had powerful enough visuals to get a decent 3d environment, but not powerful enough to allow for a whole lot of clutter, so the visual designers had to resort to iconic simple geometries and colour schema. The results are incredible.
It must suck to not be able to acclimate to those styles.
