Troll confirmed. I never even insulted you

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

Which one do you play on the most? For me, I notice that there are a LOT of bugs on the HD remade graphics when playing CEA, such as shots that don't go through thin air and stuff.

However, when switching to Classic graphics, I find out it's because an invisible wall or door or rock face blocks it. I play Classic graphics because of nostalgia and I don't like buggy graphics and graphics that hide certain parts of the game.

I play on the new graphics,however I prefer the classic music.
I have an old Xbox and the original Halo with the original case.

So i like to play CE:A on the Xbox 360 and Halo CE on the old XBOX

i play on the anniversary graphics, why on earth would you play on the orignal? no point of buying the game in the first place lol.
however the anniversary graphics makes the flashlight ability useless since there's lights everywhere and everything is shiny

particularly 343 guilty spark: people who's first time playing C.Es campaign with the origninal graphics will never experience that level how it was ment to be experienced 'a dark, ominous swamp. you're alone most of the time so when the flashlights battery runs out it gets even more tense'

For the most part, the remastered graphics. I do like to switch back and forth to see what things used to look like, though.

I wouldn't say the flashlight is completely useless. It's still useful in some places, namely in the Pillar of Autumn.

Both, but after completing the Campaign for the first time, I find myself playing in Classic Mode more often. (Unless I am playing on The Library.)

Playing CEA on classic graphics defeats the whole purpose of owning the game.

If a man speaks in the woods and there are no women around to hear, is he still wrong?

I play on HD and just switch to classic occasionally to have a look around.
Terminals only work in the remastered mode. If you played the whole campaign in classic mode, you would never see any of them.
Oh yeah, and 3D only works in HD mode.

I had a pretty big time thread once.

Here's me bragging about it.

Yeeeeah I don't wanna go through that again.

I play on the new graphics because...well if I wanna play classic graphics I'll pop the original into my xbox.

  • 11.28.2011 11:57 AM PDT

I swap back and forth, but I usually stick to the new graphics. I've been looking at the old graphics for ten years.

  • 11.28.2011 2:24 PM PDT

I usually swap back and forth between the calm moments and see what everything looked like and what it looks like now. I do prefer the old music though...I'm not a huge fan of the new stuff. Don't get me wrong, I like the new stuff and I don't think it is bad but I just like the classic music much better.

This is the way the world ends,

This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Like many people, I too play mostly on the new graphics then switch to the old if I want to see how it used to be.

Good players work together...and no matter how good you are, you're not physic. - blade6321

If it was a dark mission, I usually switch back and save the HD graphics for the lighter missions. I love what they've done but the game is just too damn bright in some missions.

Flames Engulf the Skulls of the Loyal...

it depends, if I'm fighting invisible elites I play on old graphics because they are way easier to see, also i randomly switch for fun but for the most part i play on updated graphics

Winning or losing doesn't really matter much to me. I play for fun, and nothing you can say will change that. Sure, I have a low K/D, sure, I have a low rank in Halo 3, but I really don't care. It's not like it actually means anything. It's a number. And for the record, opinion and fact are two completely different things.

HD graphics, but classic music.

Don't know why people are calling it "HD graphics" if both are rendered in HD resolutions...

Anyways, I play in Anniversary mode. It would be pointless to play in Classic mode mainly. You would essentially be wasting $40 on something you already have...

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

I play new graphics because its my first time, but whenever i find something new, i switch to classic just to see what it looks like and then switch back

Lol.

Why would anyone play on classic ? aside from looking at the newer things and switching back to see how it looked 10 years ago or vice versa.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

I play Classic graphics


you know the biggest point of a remake are the new graphics right?

playing with old graphics most of the time is extremely hipster and retarded.

Halo 3: ReV Eskimo

eventually ill be back on Reach and CEA. i enjoy gaming for fun, im a great player and i enjoy smoking while i play. so any chill players feel free to add me. I in NO way support halocharts; old username.

i play with the new graphics but occasionally i switch it to the classic to see how massive the contrast is. the new graphics do make for a "glitchier" game though.

  • 12.14.2011 9:53 AM PDT

I switch every ten seconds.

  • 12.14.2011 1:52 PM PDT

@(Big Daddv2)Me too, it's awesome to see the 10 years-worth of renovated graphics... the game is absolutely gorgeous now, and we thought it was 10 yrs ago as well. That's probably why I believed like anyone else did that Halo was before it's time.
