Halo: Campaign Evolved

this is so awesome

Love It! brings back old Legendary memories, I am glad they kept Martin O'Donnell's sound tracks 07

This is not what the Chief envisioned. What a waste. Sgt Johnson is beyond pissed..... Mircosoft disappoints again...... BE ORIGINAL use your own CODE you have PLENTY OF MONEY!!!!!!! Im so torn....

Wish there was a neutral review. Game looks amazing and terrible at the same time. Cut scenes run like absolute garbage, visual artifacts constantly appearing, Gameplay feels good and bad. The movement on mouse feels almost to fast in certain instances. Increasing FOV and disabling motion blur helped out some but still feels off for being a "Remaster". Have only encountered one crash at time of review. Could not pinpoint the cause of it, but will update if further crashes happen. The online requirement is absolute garbage, considered installing on the stem deck for on the go but that seems to be out of the question. Overall if you want to play most of the original story (excluding cutscenes and terrible dialog) its a decent game but for the $70-$60 price tag its steep.

Halo is back They do need to edit some bugs and some problems but Halo is back

4 hours in and at 343 Guilty Spark normal run. Plan to do legendary later. So Far very enjoyable. The changes that I have seen and noticed I definitely like couple of room alterations and path changes but very on point to the original. Cortana seems a bit off to me. May be the voice acting but I can get over that. Have noticed a couple small issues. On Assault on the Control Room I noticed as the Tank is approaching the hunters on the hill heading to the underground there is a point where you cannot hit them at all once you are on the hill but I can get over that. The aim seems to get stuck until you reach the bottom of the hill. Could just be me. Not really complaining Did have one crash on truth and reconciliation. Could have been something on my PC so not too concerned. I had a lot running and I was running at 4k Ultra. New Enemy pathfinding is pretty cool I have been caught off guard with the enemy changes and hoarding especially on truth and reconciliation and the marines are actually helpful and don't just fall over from looking at the enemy. This was a great change. Vehicle Jacking is a great add. I love this. The Sword usage was a bit underwhelming for me. I understand balance but seems a little too undercut. Still miss the 60 round Assault rifle but if you are a old school fan who wouldn't. Visually I think this is great. I definitely enjoy the new cutscenes. They look great and definitely add to the what I think the base game is going for. If I had to say I had a dislike. I would say this. Some of the respawns have been pretty bad. One almost put me in an infinite death loop because I spawned right next to a elite with a sword. Swords are still a one shot kill so getting out of it was a challenge. I would also say this is probably minor and I have really bad luck too. (once got into an infinite death loop on skyrim in the opening mission because I died on fire though a checkpoint just to explain my luck) I have not played the prelude missions yet so I have no opinion on these at this time. All in all I would give this a 9 out of 10. I like it and I am enjoying it. For the die hard Halo fans this is another addition to the collection for everyone new this is probably as close to the original you are going to get for the moment. It is a good Homage to the original and I can see myself continuing to play this. If I had to compare this to a movie in likeness I would say How to Train your Dragon to the live action version. Everything was almost exactly the same with a couple small changes and an upgraded graphic setting.

Its not bad its just really easy and there are lots of little things that need fixed or could be improved. Honestly probably should have been $40 with no post launch content and no extra bells and whistles. I hope they circle back to it.
