Even though I agree, I’d say that 2A is my second favorite Halo to play after Reach. The cutscenes look ridiculously good. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cutscenes look ridiculously good. Aside from some minor nitpicking, like the post Halo 3 trend of smushing the Brute's snout like a bulldog, and the Elites looking kinda weird in the face. It's the perfect visuals. Edited August 1, 2023 by TheCzarsHussar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good timing, I just finished watching that Halo Legends short The Babysitter. Which if we're going by the lore, that female Spartan should have looked roid raged hormonally supercharged, instead of an animu girl But yeah, the Halo 3, ODST and Reach live action trailers are so good. They put the literal ass tv show to shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 And with all the fan remakes; lol, we'll soon have a much better alternative to the Anniversary Edition (which I still overall didn't mind); if Halo SVP3 dosen't already count (though I heard many people think its so different it dosen't qualify as one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MCC really feels like it went out of its way to be a love letter to the Bungie games instead of attempting to one-up them. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the went out of there way to fix the shitty Gearbox port they were using for that toggle It's a decent remaster that could have used a bigger budget and time.

Oh and falling into the gas giant was way more intense looking in the old one, even if it's less realistic looking. Still think the og gas giant looks like a shitty oil painting. But they don't ruined the smokey room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
