Halo: CEA is now available in The Master Chief Collection on PC
- Thread starter Talus
- Start date
I wonder how long H2A is going to take to release. Summer? That's the game I'm really looking forward to play along with 3. :((
Man that sucks so much.
Stinkles can we get an update on this at all?
A lot of microsoft games seem to be skipping this on PC and it's kind of concerning, like with FM7. I know the PC ports of MCC are all a lot of work, but stil.
Yeah Saber artists are quite mediocre. Just compare their MC design with the original Bungie ones or even fan redesigns and it's terrible
Damn even ported models from Reach look bad like Cpt. Keyes
Lack of split-screen on so. many PC games is so shit, man. I maybe understand it 10 years ago when controllers were slightly less ubiquitous but in 2020? Come on. Especially on a platform where I could play 4 player split-screen at 60fps. Did 343 ever give an actual reason for missing split-screen on PC?
Wasn't the MCC supposed to release in early access originally on PC?
Yeah it's really getting annoying, pc ports are mostly better than the console versions but always miss splitscreen multiplayer. I have my pc hooked up to my TV in the living room, and use it mostly as a gaming multimedia center. The lack of splitscreen games really sucks on pc
Having used the Tab to see differences in the art style I have to agree, even if I enjoy the new style they killed the mood of some areas. Places that were completely dark are too bright right now

It sucks there is no split screen but on the bright side the game has low system requirements and has a true lan mode, so it isn't crazy to get 2 machines running it. But yeah I really hope they add split screen.
I don't think so. It's early access in the fact that the game isn't complete, but each singular game is supposed to be complete at release. I don't think they have any intention to add Split-Screen as of right now.
Just finished - had a good time. Was pretty smooth, had one level though where the sound was messed up. It was like I was playing underwater or something. Aside from that no problems.
Library still sucks, but I just powered through that.
I forgot how basic the vehicles are - no horn, hand break, boost, slow entry.
Mag is OP as hell, especially in multiplayer.
Would love to finish 2, 3, 4 before Infinite comes out but can't see them releasing them all by the end of the year. Fingers crossed we get Halo 2 by the summer.

Once released on PC, do the games include cross-play or is that something that'll be implemented later?
Unintentionally feeding into a racist stereotype about angry black women. It's temporary, 1 week. Not sure when that 1 week is up.
Probably best to just look up Stinkles on era yourself if you want to know more
Just completed the campaign. Was a classic then and still a classic now. :) Can't wait until i get to re live my childhood with Halo 2 my first Live game.
FM7 supports HDR on PC. All of their recent games have, too. Gears 5, Crackdown 3, Forza Horizon 4 all do. That's what makes them not supporting it with the MCC even stranger IMO.
yeah, last first party game that didnt support HDR from MS is FH3, it got patched for Xbox later and wasnt launched with it. Guess MCC is the same, patched in to Xbox version later.
No, this staggered release is how they've always planned it, at least publicly.
It's never been on the schedule, they've only said they might look into it later.
aw crap I misread the thread as a reply to the question about split screen.
It is strange to not support HDR for MCC though yeah. Really unfortunately. Hate when there's not like a definitive edition of a game.
... what a time to be alive to replay the original masterpiece... :)
Especially when I could try to re-recreate some of the old glitches from the original release. Ms Man, Ducain and all of the rest greatest glitchers/tricksters of that era... :')

lmao Keyes looked awesome in Reach and then, boom... botched plastic surgery aboard the Pillar of Autumn
The gameplay in CEA has not aged well. :) Getting rather frustrated at some parts. Enjoyed Reach more.
Have only played up to Halo 2, I wonder if the newer games change how the gameplay feels. Halo feels like it is trying to be old school DOOM of sorts, but instead of demons, you're killing alien children (yea, based on Halo 1 2 and Reach, I consider most of the mobs to be children since they run like munchkin kids). :D

I think they had to work within the constraints of the original models but maybe that was animation, I dunno. Dev would know more.
I will say, I had a hard time transitioning back to Halo 3 after playing H5 for so long. Halo 3 initially felt like I was moving with concrete shoes on the moon with a 75 FOV. It felt so slow and floaty compared to the movement in H5.
Halo really is a series where nearly every iteration has a different feel wholly separate from its predecessor. I'd say that H4 and H5 are the only ones that have a resemblance to one another in movement.
releases should be quicker going forward just because a lot of stuff is being implemented simultaneously
They gonna release them quicker now leading up to Halo Infinite I am sure.
Sleeping munchkins, so many to bash.
I feel it going back but you get used to it. Halo 3 is pretty awful but once you get in the groove, it's kinda what it is and you adapt, enjoy the sandbox. They are very much treacle after playing modern games after a break.
Will be intersting to see what people think of Halo 2 after all these years, I loved the multiplayer with some negative aspects but the campaign was always a bit of a let down bar a few open encounters were everything is going on.
Man this is giving me such a nostalgia rush. When I was 13 and got my first gaming PC one of the games I played over and over again was the <terrible> PC port of Halo: CE. Playing that game online was endlessly entertaining, even with the atrocious 55 degree FOV that you couldn't change.
Now I just need remasters of UT2004 and Call of Duty 1 and I'll be fully reliving my early teen gaming years.

Alright, at least this plays MUCH better than Reach. It actually plays really nicely with GSync and a high refresh monitor.
The lack of animation interpolation can be really jarring though. The start of The Silent Cartographer is a great example. The game is running at 100+ fps, but the flying animations are all still 30 fps which feels incredibly jarring.

Question from someone who only played reach back in the day. Does any mainline halo entry have adsing? Maybe I'm just not used to it but im having a super hard time playing through reach again now that I've played Destiny for 5 years.
After playing a bit this definitely feels a lot more dated than Reach. I played H1 back in the day, but playing Reach recently was more how I remembered Halo 1 being.
The new graphics are OK, the art direction of the old style is probably a bit better, but IMO overall the new look is still an improvement.

ADS as in aim down sights?
If so, no.
Hipfire is a core aspect of the gameplay. The closest you'll get is Halo 5 where they just added zoom to all the weapons and changed up the visuals somewhat.
Yeah. Library gets a lot of shit. But I forgot how much copy + paste level design happens everywhere else in the game. So many levels drag on with repeating corridors
Yea, I guess back in the days when I was much younger I didn't really notice that. I've been going the last two hours, how is this still the same place I've been playing through?! :D
I did co-op with a friend of mine over xbox live and it was a solid experience but my main issue is all the loading zones especially in the first level. Though he really likes the CE:A graphics compared to the original. He in hasn't played the original in a very long time and asked me where the sprint button, I told him the Master Chief just moves fast without that.
You have to have someone join your lobby or join their lobby and then select campaign. You find friends in roster.
