Hope Halo provides a 3rd person mode (without any mods & driving vehicles in earlier games doesnt count) someday in their game.

Is anyone actually excited for this? I only played Halo: Combat Evolved back when it released and loved it. But half the reason to play it was the graphics. And that's already outdated for these games.

Halo's FOV is ridiculously low. Good thing is, they are providing FOV slider with this.
Loved Halo 2 and Halo 1, could never finish the trilogy as Halo 3 was Xbox 360 exclusive. Now its about time..

Halo 1 was one of my favorite FPS. Loved the part when you encounter the Flood for the first time. Glad the series is coming to PC.

I don't know how any PC gamer could have liked Halo 2 the year in which Crysis, Orange Box, Bioshock, CoD4:MW were released. The first game released two years after the Xbox version so that was ok. Halo 2 released 3 years after the Xbox version and on Windows Vista.

With any luck hopefully we'd get atleast one game this year. Originally they were supposed to launch the whole series by November.

Is it worth to buy on Steam right now? I waited for Winter sale, but price didn't drop.
Nerevarine
Jan 12, 2020 at 1:23 AM
Its not going to drop I think, it is bundled with Halo Reach, Halo CE Anniversary, Halo 2 anniversary, Halo 3, Halo ODST and Halo 4.
Very good deal I think..
Reach is my favourite halo game I've played so far (Only played Halo CE, Halo 2 and Reach).
Story is excellent.

is the graphics improved in this version ? as the game was released in 2014 for XBOX.

Its a regular texture and resolution increase you would typically expect on a PC port. But this isnt a remaster like Halo 1 remaster or Halo 2 remaster, if you expected that.
Graphics looks fine, game isnt about graphics at all. Gameplay is very fun.

Finally done with Combat Evolved Anniversary edition. Halo 2 is slated to come out soon, they recently did the test fighting. Really excited

Nice. Yet to finish Reach and CE though.

Play atleast CE. Even 2nd highest difficulty was not that hard. Normal you can finish fast.

Halo 2 is considered the best by many. See this trailer (don't worry of spoiler)

Are you sure it is because of remastering or because you have better audio gear now?

No, audio tracks have changed.. added a lot of vocals to regular sound effects. you can see the change if you press tab where it returns to old verion.

Game is well optimized, im playing on a potato Quadro M1000M GPU at 1080p high, between 50-60fps.

Yea it's changed. When you switch gfx to old or new even song changes. Original Halo 2 had songs from Breaking Benjamin and Steve Vai.

They couldn't get rights to remastered, so when you switch to new graphics (usually TAB button) even the song immediately changes.

Reach has pretty good coop. I think upto 4 player. Combat evolved etc have 1+1 player support for Coop. Although Coop in Combat Evolved and 2 isn't the most stable.

Check here some of my gameplay on halo 2 coop:

Reach has been my favourite so far. The campaign and music feels very militariastic. Noble team know they have no chance against the covenant but they must fight anyway. Bad ass. The true suicide squad

Been a bit busy.. Still yett to even play ODST. Hopefully this weekend. Halo 3 has kind of been a proper "finale" of sorts for me, to put it mildly (in terms of story)

Halo 2 for me.. Halo 1 and then Halo Reach.
