Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary - 11.15.11

[quote name='pacifickarma']Quick question regarding the pre-order bonus: I pre-ordered the game from Newegg, and the game arrived on Wednesday. I never received any email from Newegg containing the pre-order code for the avatar armor. Is the code packed inside the box, or did Newegg fail to email my code to me? Thanks![/QUOTE]

It's inside the case.
 
I want Halo 2 to get this treatment like now. I don't want to wait a couple of years for it's 10 year anniversary.
 
[quote name='Corvin']Same here, granted I usually play games on the hardest setting, I'm considering just running through Halo on normal since I've already played it a few times since launch(on Heroic and Legendary). I've got nothing to prove, but I do have a pile of other games I want to play as well and don't want to waste time beating my head against a wall by getting stuck on a 10 year old game.[/QUOTE]

My thoughts exactly. There is just too much else that I'd like to experience in my limited gaming time over getting arbitrarily frustrated by self-imposed difficulty.
 
[quote name='timesplitt']stop lieing about halo 1 being easy on legendary.[/QUOTE]
No, you stop being so naive about it's level of difficulty.

Everyone else: I'm not being "elitist," I'm simply stating indisputable fact. If you've got any talent for FPSs, then Halo: CE on Legendary is not now, nor has it ever been, "difficult" in the insurmountable challenge sense. Go boot up Halo 2 and try playing that on Legendary; there's your difficult game.
 
Is the online co-op feature still broken in terms of lag? I've held off purchasing this because I've read that the online co-op is almost unplayable.

There was an update a few days ago and after that the lag, while still noticeable, has not been as crippling for me and my usual co-op partner. I don't know if the update was responsible, but the lag has been manageable the last few days.
 
Agreed. The later ones get much more out of hand. Halo 1 solo on legendary just requires a few little exploits to get through some parts. I do remember the library getting hairy. I just wish I could somehow import my old Halo 1 save from original Xbox because I don't think I'm going to do it again.

Lol,TAlk abiut frusterated flashbacks for me
 
So I've been playing the game on legendary and ... am I missing something with the graphics? It does not look updated at all... it looks almost exactly like the original halo. I thought it was updated to use the halo reach engine?
 
It uses the original halo engine, the multilayer aspect uses Reach.

Playing co-op online is still massively unplayable.. really annoying!

Huzzah! I know I am missing 1 achievement in Halo 3 but I am getting that last one tomorrow. Now I need to get cracking on Halo Wars. :)


EDIT: And got the last achievement in Halo 3. Halo Wars left console wise and when I get a better graphics card... Halo 2 PC too :D
