Halo: Campaign Evolved

射击手感拉了，移动灵活度拉了，本地化拉了，如果不是因为初代的情怀，还不如回去玩无限 这游戏不应该叫《战役进化》，应该叫《战役退化》 ———————————————————— 预购的高级版就当喂洪魔了

This is the most safe, hand-holdy, corporate Halo I've ever played. Also if I wanted to play a Halo with the Reach Covenant AI or the Halo 3 flood, I'd play Reach or Halo 3. It only feels like CE in the map layouts and that's about it (CE remake btw). ♥♥♥♥ this game bro, I don't even want to do LASO and I beat Halo 2 LASO. Side note: This game has been out for over a month at the time of this review and they still haven't fixed the simplest bug with the key-bindings resetting every time you restart the game. Absolute joke

I like this, but it's overpriced. It has the odd issue, but what the community was leading me to believe before purchase was that it was going to eat my first born (or absence children, my genitals). Campaign Evolved doesn't deserve the hate it's gotten. It is actually a pretty good remake of the original Halo Combat Evolved. Speaking of which, I was doing a play through of THAT title on MCC and was not having a good time when I started THIS title. I started having a great time. Among the least talked about features that I like the most are the difficulty modifiers that allow you to raise or lower your damage resistance, ranged and melee damage, shield regen and infinite ammo. This has allowed my weak player self to enjoy a full campaign (except the driving part at the end) on heroic without it being a dying simulator. The assault rifle too now has 36 rounds and is more accurate. Now it does have some issues, like the cutscenes take about 3 seconds after starting to get their frame rates above ~15fps (I'm making a guess as i haven't measured it proper), flood bodies literally disappear after you've dismantled them enough and they're nothing but torsos with legs, and some of the new dialogue feels out of place (especially at the start). The bonus missions are my biggest gripe. I have not been enjoying them. Admittedly I haven't finished them, but I don't like them. They so far feel forced and unnatural. Williams and Johnson have braindead scripted AI, but thankfully revive themselves. I hope they get better, but for now, I'm going to move on as I am not enjoying those missions. Outside of the game, the forum community is trash. Complete and utter trash. Full of culture warriors and morons alike. Don't go to the forums, at all. They blew the problems so out of proportion that they had me thinking that it would kill my computer. Now being smarter than dumb, I knew that wouldn't be the case, which is why I took the plunge and bought in. Glad I did, even if I did spend $50. So, at a sale price of $30 USD I would whole heartedly recommend this game. More than that depends on you.

Mixed is certainly the best adjective to describe my feelings on this game. On one hand, the game is absolutely stunning. The Pillar of Autumn and the Halo ring feel significantly more natural to traverse. It's UE5, so I always get nervous, but the game runs brilliantly on my rig. Gameplay is fantastic. Both the weaponry of the UNSC and Covenant got the right amount of touchups needed. The Magnum and Needler were toned down a smidge, but still feel great to fire. The AR and Energy Pistol are the winners of this remake, they're genuinely terrifying weapons. My personal favourite, however, is the Type-26 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun. They have always felt like wet noodles but, now, they are as rewarding as they are risky to use. On the other hand, the voice acting changes are noticeable. Master Chief is free from criticism here, Steve Downes has not lost his touch. My feelings are mixed on Johnson. I don't think the VA is bad, but he isn't Johnson. Keyes has a new VA and no longer has the commanding presence he had of the original. Cortana is the worst offender though. Despite Jen Taylor returning to re-record the lines, it felt like she was unable to voice the character again pre-rampancy. The absolute low of Campaign Evolved is the multiplayer. Rampant connection issues and desyncing are the most common. If I need to port forward to play with a mate, then the developers have failed to make a functioning multiplayer game. To sum up, if you can tolerate Johnson, Keyes and Cortana and play single player, this may be one of the most exceptional gameplay experiences you could have. In any other scenario, it's difficult to recommend.

This game feels extremely goofy for a Halo title. As someone who has played every Halo on legendary, this game genuinely feels like the most half done, most horribly optimized, and just really horrible in general. The game runs like crap and overheats both mine and my friend's higher end PCs on MEDIUM graphics. We legitimately had to restart the same mission 3 times because the game kept crashing. The game is borderline unplayable. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone ever. The original is both cheaper and better in nearly every way imaginable.

The game is fun, the gunplay is good. It's the best looking halo so far. The story and dialogue changes are much appreciated to better fit within the current lore and pave the way for a better future.

basically 343's attempt of completely replacing the original and making CE "their own" rather than actually you know improving or remaking it entirely like either dead space or RE4 which fails miserably since its just a bunch of asset flips and creative decisions that don't fit or break the game entirely, dialogue and cutscenes that change the tone of the game or look goofy because of the animations but its fun, both gameplay and laughing at it so its ok.
