@@JuanMartinez-vr7bg I'm with you. The other thing I always found baffling is how robust models and effects are in CE, and how watered down they seemed to be after the transition to 2/3. The pistol, AR, Sniper etc all feel weighty and packing a real punch in CE, somehow losing that feeling in the subsequent games. Enemies too. If you take the flood for example, they feel so powerful in CE, and then in 2 they suddenly become really frail disintegrating into dust whenever you shoot them. grenades are not as impactful sfx wise, same goes for blood and bullet hole decals etc. Textures always looked super washed out in 2 especially compared to CE

69th like waheyyyy

I remember that

Something similar that is possible in MCC is Halo CE with Cowbell and Grunt Funeral. Grunts explode like plasmas, but since it's Halo CE, they only explode when they come to rest. This leads to massive chain reactions of flying and exploding Grunts, most certainly killing everything in the room and maybe you as well. It's good fun!

Idk they added in grunt funeral so that defeats the difficulty argument

Same

I thought it was Arbiter talking too, cause that elite looks dead as shit. I was confused how the Arbiter knew the brutes had killed the elite council just cause he saw some generic dead elites. I thought the generic elite corpses at the start of the mission had to be the council then, in which case why were they killed there of all places? Now it all makes sense.

I thought it was the camo elite that reveals himself to you later, i feel like i remember looking around and seeing him somewhere invisible

I always just assumed it was his dying words.

True dat

it was broken but really fun to use, especially in flood levels since that explosion actually do splash damage to other enemies, breaking their bodies most of the cases, it also damages weak enemies like infection forms and grunts

It works between Cortana and Halo too on Halo 3.

It only worked for some missions, but it was a thing. I specifically remember re-arming before triggering the mission end to carry a particular weapon with me into the next mission, and only if you immediately continued to the next level.

@@MotorCityPhoenix313 Besides oracle what mission in Halo 2 had spooky vibes

@@MotorCityPhoenix313 Halo 2 Anniversary flat out improves on atmosphere in every situation lol. Like sure there's some areas in Halo CE where it's less dark and spooky (like 343 Guilty Spark's jungle,) and the Library (though that one was because the Library was a terrible level and lighting it up was all they could do from a simple remaster to mitigate how bad it was.) But every single area where it's supposed to be "spooky and mysterious" in Halo 2, it's just as dark if not darker. People need to stop this meme that actual dynamic lighting and shadows kill atmosphere, because it's never true. Any "atmosphere," you're imagining being gone in Halo 2 is literally because of graphical limitations of the time.

Don't forget the changed weapon sounds and the spinning weapon bug.

@@ShadowDragon-cw7wb Was there a change in sounds for PC? I thought it was only CEA that changed them. Spinning weapons I was certain was always thing in CE; The physics as far as I know are identical between Xbox and PC onwards except for PAL xbox which is weird.

@@ChouRaiyuki As far as I remember, weapons getting stuck in a spinning animation on slopes wasn't an original Xbox thing and the sound effects were changed in CEA. They fixed the grunt dialogue in MCC from CEA so they don't say the same two lines.

@@ShadowDragon-cw7wb weapon spinning glitch is definitely from OG H1 and is still current in every halo title to this day. It is simply a geometric collision glitch where the gun is trying to always lay flat on whatever surface it's on but is placed on a convex that is in no way flat and cannot "lay flat" on the surface it's on, so the collision of the object will continuesly "try" to lay flat until it does.

No way?! I remember that specifically

100 percent played it thru with my friend .

I was looking for this comment, I remember its the same VA as that sergeant, he also makes his way to ark with us in H3 and calls out for all armor to form up on the chief after going through the wall towards the cartographer iirc, when you take the gauss hog to go around the corner to get your scorpion back, right before the scarab

I believe those were fixed already, atleast on PC

@@beetheimmortal As far as i'm aware, it wasn't, where did you see it was fixed?

@Potato King The Digitalfoundry video on Reach's PC release talks about it a bit.

Reach is broken on MCC, tank betrayal glitch on firefight. Also the game types in firefight are different with what skulls are on, I feel messed with.

I'm guessing having non-final source code is likely the reason for the other missing/changed graphics in the Gearbox PC port?

TheDapperCat mostly that but some things were either not possible in the change in hardware or were removed due to errors caused by said older build code (namely the jackal shields which was due to even code in the older builds not being intact)

At that time pretty much all Gearbox did were ports, PC to console and vice-versa. Most of those ports were actually pretty damn good, Half-Life on PS2 being a prime example. Halo PC is an exception rather than the rule.

This is probably the case, the scanner worked in the beginning and was glitched by an update early in the games lifecycle.

I get what you're saying, and I agree, but I had to read your comment 3 times to understand.

Halo isn't dead at all. Tha is to MCC on pc it's getting more popular

Yeah, I never enjoyed that section of the map when playing with friends on the Xbox, but the PC version made it more tolerable, although it definitely does look worse as a result.

I think that was a conscientious design decision to change it for the PC port and not a bug precisely because the lip made the trench way more dangerous than it needed to be.

Keep the servers for the OG up fuck mcc

@@bigmammaschughouse9691 I like how you say "fuck mcc," when the comment you responded to had nothing to do with MCC. It was about the more disappointing direction the non MCC games appear to be going (that technically started with Halo 4, but really became a big problem with Halo 5.) For all intents and purposes, MCC's differences at this point are extremely small and being worked on regularly. The only people who are actually convinced they're game breaking just don't want to acknowledge the newer re-releases of games being better than the old ones they have nostalgia for. Not to mention: 1. Halo 2's Servers were shut off years ago. 2. Halo 3, Reach and 4 get like maybe sub 1000 players online at peak times if they're lucky, whereas MCC gets like 10x that easily. 3. Not only was it a 30fps game instead of 60fps, but the controls were just flat out worse in older entries too, offering significantly less customization to button layouts, look sensitivity and had no options to set deadzones at all so you were stuck with the old extremely large deadzones. Nevermind the awkward aim acceleration zones for every Halo before 4 (that you can also toggle in MCC if you want the legacy feel.) Oh yeah you can get used to it after playing with it long enough, we all did, but it's just flat out wrong to say the miles better customization MCC offers isn't objectively superior. 4. The old servers are literally obsolete, before MCC the series operated on Peer-to-peer instead of dedicated servers that MCC does. The latter is just flat out better. People need to stop pretending the MCC servers are worse when they fixed them ages ago, if these were the Launch MCC servers where they had tons of issues you'd maybe have a point, but they aren't.

@@Robbie_Haruna MCC is fantastic, honestly. Even with these bugs, it puts 6 working games under one roof and manages to get them all to work together. There are some really fun (and terrible) achievements and endless things to do. MCC is one of the best things to happen to Halo. Never has it been this easy to host custom games and have so much access to so many different games. You don't have to change disks, or games, just move to a different menu and have access to a bunch of other custom games. The only things that I hope for are a better file share system and custom game browser, which is coming hopefully in the next update since it's in the upcoming flight. It might have taken a long time for MCC to be really worth it, but damn, it's really good now.
