*Snipers get more head*

I'm a HUGE fan of CE. Cannot even begin trying to count the hours I've played it. But, damn did you guys ruin it a little for me. First off, amazing graphics, incredible. Really happy with that.. But damn.. this feels sooo slow! Laggy in campaign, jumpy, takes forever to resume your campaign from lobby!
Secondly.. Damn I swear Legendary was NEVER this hard? I used to run and gun rambo style in Legendary, I can't even take out a small squad (few grunts and Elite) without losing so much health. Go ahead, say i'm crap blah blah, whatever. I know I'm not, but it definitely wasn't like this in the old CE!
Anyone agree?

343 used the reach engine ... worst move ever.
(ok, maybe second worst move - after bungie developed the engine)

To borrow a quote ... "you knew how it would end"

All I've seen are a few glitches. Other than that this game is a godsend and I'll be running through this campaign a million times.

Can't you turn the new graphics off?

That should speed it up.

  • 11.15.2011 5:15 AM PDT

lol no. You're wrong.

It's been ten years. What's really changed, you or the game? We're all getting older. Most likely your reflexes aren't what they used to be. :)

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

It's exactly like Halo 1 (which is my main problem with it, by the way).

Reflexes slower? I'm 20.. and with games developing becoming quicker (Halo: ODST, 3, Reach) including those damn Drones.. I don't think it's my reflexes. I've decided to noob combo the whole campaign cos my usual combo of the Plasma Rifle and Pistol just ain't doin it no more haha. Gameplay is the same.. just that, I don't believe the enemies were THAT resistant to bullets.. haha

  • 11.15.2011 5:20 AM PDT

Sorry man but this game was this hard after ODST and Reach you've just forgotten

I know, I was half kidding. :) It really is (or parts of it) harder than you remember. Time does funny things to memory. I remember finally beating it on legendary after hours and then thinking to myself... let's never do that again. There were some parts of it that were just so frustrating (see: Library).

  • 11.15.2011 5:24 AM PDT

Remember Elk

You go in running and gunning on legendary? I hope that is running and gunning away from the enemies and not running in their direction.

The damage enemies throw at you is just insane and no, it is not harder than regular ce. I still have it, played it just a few weeks back and got my ass handed to me several times (many by my own allies throwing grenades).

The one thing that have made this game harder is that we as players have become worse over the last 10 years, games are easier today than ever before.

Haha yeah, Library is gonna be suuuuucccchh a -blam!- to complete.. Sigh.. memories indeed.

And I think I agree with you, Games have gotten easier, and the ONLY time I ever played 'smart' was when I used to play Co op with my bro, cos he made me haha. Solo I always "rambo-d" every part and with great success, yes running in towards the enemy, mowing down the Grunts then bashing my way to victory on the Elites. But yeah.. I guess this is where we've forgotten how strategic CE actually used to be.

I know it used the same engine, but I'm curious and posing the question if they DID infact PERHAPS made minor changes, to shake up the players a little. You never know.
Omg.. really? "Easyer"? Cmon man.. *facepalm* Don't even continue in this thread..

stop an play ce, then 2, plasma pistol has a HUGE auto lock increase makin the noob combo much easyer, needler fires faster, has dual, an locks harder, those 2 things alone make any halo other than ce much much easyer, not to mention weapon add ons, the -blam!- rocket launcher in ce doesnt even fire as quick as it does in other titles, go test it. the games are easyer, much much easyer

and no, they didnt change ANYTHING, again i say go watch a vidoc or a developer interview theyve made it very clear

They really were. The original Halo on legendary was a nightmere

also the ONLY thing they changed was the graphics. EVERYTHING else is EXACTLY the same. Even the actual Game engine(not graphics engine) is the same.

The Halo series was my first and favorite FPS series.
I enjoy most games throughout all systems despite what some people say.

Oh, and on the forums, I tell it like it is, like it or not.

The load problem has been a problem since...3 if I remember correctly. Also, campaign has been getting progressively harder, for reasons I can't explain. As for it being laggy and jumpy, that's odd, but disappointing.

Honestly though, this really should go on the 343 forums.

If it's laggy, play by yourself instead of co-op. If you're playing solo, it can't be laggy, that doesn't make sense.

CE always had a slight button delay, you can notice it easy if you try to jump right at the edge of an object, you'll run right off the edge most likely.

I have noticed a couple of bugs, such as the warthog camera reacting to remastered graphics (fake trees) even while in classic, but the game itself is exactly the same other than the additional elements such as terminals and skulls.

Halo CE wasn't a cakewalk like modern games. Especially not on Legendary. I remember going back to it a few months back and getting stuck on Truth and Reconciliation in the hangar bay. Sad, I know. I've gotten old.

If you are playing co-op on XBL it explains the lag. Also complaining about loading the game from the lobby? LOL

The rest of the game is exactly the same.

Halo 2 had a harder campaign, but 3 and Reach are much easier.

Doubt it.

This sig will Self-Destruct in 3.... 2.... 1.... Thank you for your time. Cookie?

lol I remember I never beat Halo: CE the original on Legendary. Hell, I don't think I ever beat it on Heroic, since I sucked so much.

:/ Can't wait to revisit in in CEA, although I probably know how it's going to end (horribly).
