Podjęto tu bardzo dużo dziwnych decyzji designowych. Rujnuje atmosferę niektórych poziomów kampanii.

Still as fun as ever, a classic

its just combat evolved with uglier graphics,glad the master chief collection lets you go back to the og

Poster child of a botched remaster. But being able to swap between graphics at any time is pretty impressive! Let's me not have to see the new graphics!

The first time I've played through Halo (and it's 23 years old!?). I'm impressed that it's held up but it's not without its flaws compared to the modern equivalent. I found fighting the Convenant to be standard humdrum FPS fare, so the first 3 hours or so were good, but not gear. Controls are tight (but the jumping is annoyingly floaty, for obvious reasons) and the non-covenant weapons felt good. It's only when the flood show up that I really started to vibe with things.

The little plot twist halfway through shifted the feel of the game for me, and I got excellent horror vibes from 343 Guilty Spark. The romp through the Library and Two Betrayals made me forget I was playing a game this old, but I was soon brought back down to earth with the backtracking toward the end of the game. The last third is certainly weaksauce in comparison.

Despite the negatives (and the fact I didn't experience multiplayer at the time) it's left me with an urge to keep playing the series. A good thing, because I have a working copy of Halo 2 (GFWL) and all the 360 games! Might jump into those sooner than expected.
