The only problem i see in Anniversary is the horror part of the game, everything is Super bright and less bloody.
Part of what i really enjoy of Halo CE was the multiplayer mode and the horror/fps parts of the game. Aside from that, anniversary is almost perfect.
I heard the multiplayer isn’t the same for this as it was on the original
So if I want the original split screen multiplayer with the original maps buy the original, or does anniversary come with split screen multiplayer and the original maps?
And to think it's going on 10 more years now
Dumbass use halo reach music.
18 years old now
it's hard to believe this review is over 7 years old
I think it's a little harsh to hold Halo's age against it as a minus, it can't help being 15 years old…
Dude it is a design! It's not suppose to have many game mechanics just a new graphics engine and some bug and frame rate fixes. Get your things right!
Why is halo reach in this?
I never understood the way they review games… They pull up a chart at the end and then give it a score ranging from 1-10… The chart just says 2-5 things they like/didn't like and all of the sudden their hidden math gives a number… Huwhut?
half the gameplay is reach
This game is terrible. The Classic is much better!
“This game is too much like the original”
I don’t know, MAYBE THAT’S THE POINT!
I hate IGN
I really enjoyed this remake, being able to change from old to new graphics was really awesome. I wish they did the same thing with 3, but whatever. I also enjoyed the multiplayer even though it was just a glorified reach map pack. I would have preferred them to just remaster the maps in the original combat evolved style, but I still had a blast playing them.
"lack of direction makes it hard to navigate larger levels" its called exploration, unless you prefer to have your path spoonfed with waypoints in cod?
About the recoil….you're a 6 ft 5in super soldier that can carry twice his size and is wearing an technologically advanced armor…..Im pretty sure the recoil is fine
Lame review is lame! This remaster is one of the best remasters out there!
Why did they rate halo 5 higher than this? WHYY EXACTLY!?!?!?!?!?!
i bought the master chief collection used for 10$ unbelievable how much value i got.. for 10$ online skins can cost more that and i got a 4 full remastered entire games. fuckin crazy. halo combat evolved is the reason xbox is still around. halo is why xbox succeeded
"Shows its age" What? I really don't get it, it an extremely stupid point to make of a game like halo. the glitch 30 – 60 FPS is because it runs on a console… I run it on PC and I can easily lock it at 30 – 75 consistently with no issues. I would gives the console version 7/10 and PC version 9.8/10.
WHY THE REACH GAMEPLAY?!
If gamers haven't played Halo Combat Evolved when it first came out, they have another chance by playing it how it was years ago, with Combat Evolved Anniversary. Remakes don't have to be freaking Call of Duty or re-imaginings, IGN.
No game can age badly. People who say they do are complainers and aren't true gamers. The campaign in Combat Evolved is great and challenging. The only flaw with the campaign has is it having checkpoints. By the way, Halo Reach scenes were used in this. Also, how do you expect weapons from the FUTURE to have recoil? Why want realism? We play video games to escape from reality.
"For those unfamiliar with Master Chief's story, weird I know,…"
Ok I think that's a little bit dumb. See, this is a remake of the very first game. So people new to the franchise, new enough to not know about Chief's story, would be playing (and looking up reviews for) this game. Because it's the first. I know that might be nit picky but it really got on my nerves.
the worst ign review ever.
halo ce is a master piece just spit it out !
fricking bull shit
Does your health regenerate in this one? Because I heard it doesn't
"the weapons have no recoil". the only weapon that doesnt have recoil is the assault rifle lol
People need to take off their nostalgia goggles.
