Subject: The difference between Halo CE and CEA. Why you shouldn't buy CEA!


Posted by: Hatchet Hero
I like CEA the only problem for me is the jumping.

You know, it does seem delayed when using the updated graphics.

If you've compared Halo: CE to Halo: CEA you'll notice that not only are the graphics have changed but also the cutscene animations.

The uninformed are the worst. It was known for a VERY long time that the game would have a graphics overlay. And it was stated that some of the geometry was adjusted from the original version to make it just a tiny bit smoother. But it's the SAME GAME as it was in 2001. Clearly you never played that otherwise you would remember that it plays the same way, including the rough movements and the jumps

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

I never played the first Halo, so i got it solely for that purpose and i like it.

The best event in the Halo series was the grunt rebellion!

Listen to some of this on, this site.

Bungie didn't make CEA. You are stupid.

My observations on CEA.

I like it so far though there are a few things im a bit.... disappointed in.

First: Parts of the game seem almost incomplete. This game seriously feels like a beta to me when fighting the AI. The grunts look ok but the elites look weird and almost 2D. I can also barly see their shields when i hit them which i dont care for. Another is the flare from a plasma grenade. It looks blocky incomplete.

2nd: The new sound track sucks and often times doesnt play where it should or can barely be heard. Sry but the original was better.

3rd: A few of the character recreations are extreamly weak. Cpt. Keys and johnson come to mind. When keys talks it seems like his mouth is sticking out like a fish. Johnson looks like an obese fat sun of a -blam!-. They could atleast look remotely like they did in 3 and reach respectivly.

4th (and this one pisses me off the most): The look of the guns advertised in the demos released by 343 =/= the look of the actual game. This was a major let down as the new version looks a hell of a lot better then the original. Case in point.

Advertised

Actual

Overal i like it and would have still bought it but im not quite enjoying it as i thought i would. I just didnt expect it to be such a downgrade in game performance. My fault i know and i suppose i expected too much but this is just how i feel.

PS: Reach was a good game. :D

Yep, that's where you lost all validity.

Of course its a downgrade in game performance it is a 10 year old game after all, that doesn't stop Halo CE from being better than Reach though. Reach's campaign cannot even compare.

  • 11.16.2011 3:44 PM PDT

I've bought it already. I must say the changes make it just a tinge more amazing than it was 10 years ago.

The graphics give it a whole different feeling.


No, they don't. A chocolate cake with fancier frosting is still a chocolate cake.

Yes i realise its a 10 year old game and i never compared the 2 campains i mearly said i was expecting more. Should i have expected more then it just being the original with a new coat of paint? Probubly not. But the demos i saw gave me reason to believe that it would.

Btw all you CEA lovers should be ready to hear all the negatives about it, as you did to all the reach lovers about reach.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

OP, you dislike CEA for the wrong reasons.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

They changed cutscenes a bit, added new Easter Eggs, added Skulls, added Terminals, gave it a new look, sound, and feel, but still somehow managed to make it the same game we've loved for the past 10 years.

Well,
the only difference are the graphics.
Actually everybody could have known that the game would look
exactly the same as the original edition but i never expected that it would really BE the same as the original.


They did advertise it where you could go back and forth between graphics and see how it looked when it was first released. People did know that the game would basically be the original.



it's exactly the same as the original. You don't miss anything!


That was the point. To bring back the original Halo so those of us who enjoyed it the first time could relive it on 360, and those who haven't played it could actually experience it without having to go buy an original xbox.


What i think?
Bungie just insert a halo CE copy in a computer changed the graphics and then sold it again as thé REMAKE

First, it was 343 who did this. Second, I'd like to see someone insert a game disc into a computer and instantly upgrade the graphics. It'd be quite the change to how long it actually takes. Third, it IS a remake.

And to be honest, these days... "not sure if trolling or if really stupid".
