Better than nothing sure. But i can't figure out how they are ok with releasing something as flawed as Halo:CEA.As flawed as CEA? You're making it sound like it's just a pile of crap. For what it is, I think it's amazing. I don't think it's as flawed as you're inferring.
First of all, they decided to leave the multiplayer out. Thats a flaw in my book, because it's a big part of Halo:CE and it's left out of the game.
In general the new graphics is pretty to look at, but a little brown'ish in some levels. My main problem with the graphics overlay is that it doesn't match the geometry of Halo:CE, which means there are a lot of places where either your path is blocked, because the geometry is invisible, or graphic with no collision at all. There is a little room in the Library with a med pack, but if you switch to new graphics there are no walls, floor or roof, it's a big windows to look outside of the level.
Actually they tried to block of this room with textures. When on new graphics the room appears not to be there, but you can run straight through the fake wall.
I don't like the new sounds, i guess that is a matter of taste, but i would prefer having the old gun sounds when using old graphics at least.
Now that they didn't include multiplayer, online coop is the most important thing. But, yeah. It's pretty much unplayable for the none host. I tried with plenty of friends, and my friends have tried it with some of their friends, with the same result. The host have smooth gameplay, and the none host have major delay.
It's a long time a played Halo:CEA, so i suppose they might have fixed it with an update?
But this is unacceptable.
So all the things combined you basically get a single player game, with pretty, but unreliable new graphics.
It's not a pile or garbage, but i think it is disrespectful to all the Halo:CE fans.
Why couldn't 343 studies do to Halo:CEA what 4J Studios did to Perfect Dark?
