I grew up on space sims so no. :p I particularly enjoyed the low grav section when boarding the ship. Also in the beginning of Halo 4. More zero G please.
I've got you covered up to the kilo 5 trilogy. Lost the plot after that.
No surprises there. The story is great. The gameplay mostly sucks, especially at higher difficulties.
Best dialogue and characterization. Best for bringing the feels.
Yes! I somehow do not feel Halo fatigue. I also appreciate the shakeup of the world state in Halo 5 (though also undoing the best bits of 4s story) and hope Infinite doesn't sweep it under the rug.
They are, but only in the OG graphics mode.
Noble heirarchs, surely you understand that once the parasite attacked...
I usually play Heroic, ever since Bungie defined it as "the way Halo's meant to be played". I replayed the games with the MCC playlist now, tho, and that one's stuck on Normal. I was surprised how much better Halo 4 was: I'd never played it on anything below Heroic before, lmao. You still get one-shotted from Binary Rifle hits tho, kinda nuts.
Guess it depends on which mode it starts playing in. I switched back and forth because I wanted the OG tracks.
The anniversary version of the library is WAY better. I enjoyed it a lot this run with some frustrations in corridor kill traps. But the glowing arrows in the ground textures make it feasible to (mostly) just keep running.
Surpsingly I didn't find it dull on my replays. My most disliked part of Halo CE is still the 2nd half of the 3rd level. Fuck the ship.
Best combination of great (and balanced) gameplay, set pieces, music, and mood.
Probably Halo 2 because of the aforementioned BS that inundates large parts of the game. Love the story though and those Blue cinematics are choice.
From an overall experience perspective gut check is
I feel like this an unsubtle call to action to remind everyone of this beautiful video...
Oh, and it doesn't have Miranda Keyes offering "to war" as a rally point. The writing / cutscenes in Halo 3 are doggy doodoo excepting when the Elites are talking. I'm also still mad about the character assassination of Truth in that game.
I did the same, Halo 2 snipers are indeed one of the worst moments as are 'the boss' fights in 5.
It does feel really goddamn good to put a knife in the warden's head though.
By the time I learned the demon's intent... There was nothing I could do.
