So… I played Halo: CE for the first time

To be specific, the anniversary edition’s campaign on mine humble pc. Yep, I finished it. [i]I finished it.[/i] Y’know, at first, I thought this game was gonna be something else. I really did, but… *frantically shakes head* Actually, it was quite fun for a while. First time playing and it was fun—that is, till it started feeling repetitive—copies of the map being used over and over again to create a sort of labyrinth; honestly, I spent more time going in circles than shooting, but that just might be me being stupid. But, yeah, picking up the Covenant’s own weapons to use against them was particularly enjoyable. Oh, and [i]The Flood![/i] Yes, ohohohohohoho, the Flood. I knew what they were and I knew they were in Halo (I researched the whole story before I got it), but what I didn’t know is how much they would be in it—specifically this game. Honestly, I didn’t think they’d be in this one. But hey, I was cool with the Flood; I didn’t mind tearing through them with a blazing barrel as if they were made of paper. Yeah, I have no problem with the Flood. ...until [i]The Library[/i] happened. No, I won’t talk about it. Stop asking or I’ll cry... and scream… and die... then hurt you. Also, I didn’t like seeing human soldiers infected, because shooting what used to be my own men was kinda disturbing… like, there’s no way you can get me to shoot my own brothers in—Oh hey, that guy’s holding a shotgun! *shrug* Brother or Flood, a shotgun is a shotgun. ^ wizzdumb ^ ANYWAY, I caught a glimpse of Halo 2 and it looks waayyyyy more fun, both the story and gameplay aspects. But, I don’t know, I may be getting ahead of myself. But yeah, as a guy playing it with new eyes, I’d rate Halo: CE [b]4.5[/b]/[b]10[/b] stars: Fun at first until everything after that feels like a grind that just keeps dragging on—hey, I need more experience than killing hordes of... [i]things [/i]in a room I’ve already been in ten thousand times. Hopefully, Halo 2 will get double the rating, yeh? [i]-postscript-[/i] I can click a button and see the classic halo graphics and that’s some pretty neat design for it’s time, but I liked playing with the newer shtuff on. [i]-post-postscript-[/i] That part in the beginning where we’re rescuing Captain Keyes and that one marine is just shooting the dead alien, saying: “Haha, get up so I can kill yeh again!” Nice foreshadowing.

  • That’s a reasonable assessment tbh for someone coming to it fresh. Levels were reused quite a lot in games back then, and everything was generally a bit slower paced and clunkier. Especially FPSs since there weren’t many around trying to tell the sort of story Halo was. They were mostly WW2 games or arena shooters.
