Halo: Campaign Evolved

好玩~

Awesome remake of the first halo ! I really don't get the hate and am a little frustrated that it puts the next remake in danger. It is literally the first halo but 10 times better, exactly what I, a fan of halo since forever, wanted. I read some reviews and got a little scared about the woke stuff and the weird cortana and all. Turns out they are just wrong. The woman ODST in the prequel missions has a beef with spartans cuz spartans replaced them as the top tier soldiers. Her words toward chief just makes sens lore wise, and she literally goes back on her word and praise the chief later on... Cortana is still hot (I don't even care)... graphics are amazing... Enemies are a lot more enjoyable to fight than in the original. I loved my experience and would recommend for anyone wanting to try halo. Good introduction to the franchise.

Halo in a Modern Engine. I like it. You might. Or you won't. I do not care either way.

this is a fun game to play with friends

I'm going to try to be as fair as possible while writing this review but, if this is your first ever introduction to the Halo series I would not recommend buying this. I would only suggest buying this if it is the only way to play Halo with friends, family, etc but I would suggest buying MCC you get more with it for less money and it has multiplayer. So far I only completed the campaign up to 343 Guilty Spark as of writing this review. Firstly, the graphics are amazing in this game and the levels are so beautiful and crafted so well and Chief looks so good in this game it has to be one of the best designs for Chief using the og armor. Weapon models look pretty good except for the animation for the brute spiker the reload animation kinda sucks since it takes up your whole screen. Weapons feel pretty good though maybe some are overpowered but still good. Now for the bad parts. I know everyone is saying this but the Voice Actors are meh especially Johnson he sounds like a stereotypical Sgt for some reason. Chief is still good. The bonus missions, as beautiful as they look, are kinda boring and the story is not that great and makes no sense which I will get back to later. The weapons they provide are really fun but it's a shame none of the new weapons are added into the main campaign except for the smg but that is just my personal opinion. Unless you're playing with friends the paid skins are worthless unless you use 3rd person because you will never see the paid skins/real time playermodels in cutscenes like in previous games. Also, the enemies compared to the original game are massively easier to fight and the Flood are not as aggressive as the og. It feels like even the Flood spores don't swarm the player like they used to. Even on Heroic, 2nd hardest difficulty mind you, feels easy for my beginner brother. And by the rings the optimization and settings is not that great. Audio on max setting is still too low and the in-game voice chat is not that great I can't hear my brother sometimes. There just isn't a lot of freedom in the settings it would be great if there was sliders for screen shake or trying to set the controller settings to reach style. For example, it's not possible because you need two different inputs for the zoom in feature whereas the og games you can just double-press one input but that is just my personal opinion. Even after the recent patch we still get issues where we once teleported away from the map and had to restart. Also, there is no "resume" button for co-op play so you would have to restart from checkpoint Alpha, Bravo or Charlie depending how far you get in the missions. Also, the fact that the trailers highlight the [b] Stanchion [/b] will be in the game but later reveal it will not be usable is so bad and annoying like why even do that? That's like if you were to make a new Minecraft game and get rid of the diamond pickaxe but only the villagers can use it Overall, this game just feels like a watered down version of the original and it is just meh. There is just so much more they could've added like PvP multiplayer or at least firefight there's just so much restriction on this game being only campaign which yea its a demo for Halo being integrated in Unreal Engine 5 but still there is so much more they could have done especially since the graphics look amazing. Bonus Missions: [spoiler] The bonus missions come with 3 missions with the 3rd mission being a space mission like reach. The maps are beautiful like I said before but the story is just what? I forgot the original mission objective but it turns into a rescue op which is in character for Chief but this version of Chief just feels so off. Keep in mind this is the same version of Chief in Combat/Campaign Evolved just a year before but yet he talks so much. Like sure, the banter between Chief and Johnson is fun but it just feels odd and out of place and such a noticeable comparison if you play both stories. I know this a dead horse but the ODST character we meet (I forgot her name) who hates Spartans is not a good character and does not a have a good arc or at least it's poorly executed. I can care less it's a female character like everyone else is saying she is the most annoying character in the game everything she says provides zero impact to the story and her hate for Spartans feels super forced rather than natural. We literally try to rescue her and her team and yet she calls us a propaganda machine like dude I know ODSTs have a rivalry for Spartans but this is not the time and place. And her "arc" is just a few in-game dialogues nothing special but Johnson and Chief saying something like "we need to work together despite our differences" and then literally gives her life to stop these "experiments" for us. Also Brutes are bullet sponges and don't show up in the main campaign which I think would be cool to see in the sandbox. Also, the "experiments" this new prophet character conducts is just lame its just electric rage inducer for brutes and honestly he's super cliche and uninteresting and says the same thing like "human bad, human stupid, blah, blah, blah I'm better than you" like do you have anything better to say? I know this sounds like I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the bonus missions which I might be but only because it could have been so much better and if they were using lore from the books (ODSTs and Spartan rivalry and the Stanchion for example) they could have adapted events from the books instead. [/spoiler]

There's a halo and the campaign has evolved.
