@@stahl1624 Nobody mentioned PC master race. 343 Industries, Saber Interactive and Bungie have collectively decided *not* to add in support for the release of all the games featured in the MCC. Blame the developers for being short-sighted and not supporting such a trivial feature from the Halo franchise upon porting it. Because of such actions, PC gamers have no other option but to either run the games on an emulator or - in the case of Halo: CE (the only Halo port that has multiplayer functioning normally) you have to set up a janky virtual machine and then split 2-4 instances of the game onto 1 display.

when i played through the campaign, i switched a lot between classic and anniversary. In short: sometimes its better on classic, sometimes its better on anniversary. Overall i think the anniversary remaster for halo 2 is a lot better than the anniversary for halo:CE. If the audio or music sounds really weird, try switching to classic. Best example i can think of is when you enter that room and the classic plays a breaking benjamin song (that is really good) but the anniversary plays some other song that is not as good. I think it depends on what type of experience you are after. I like the nostalgic feel of the classic graphics, so i am prone to play on classic. Martys music is sometimes better than the new score, so whenever you hear music, i reccommend switching to see the differences. Overall i switched around a lot just to compare the versions, and if i liked on version better, i played that part of the level on that version. I got the "play every mission on both classic and anniversary graphics" achievement on steam the moment i finished the campaign. I think the MCC on PC is WELL worth the price now, even if you are only interested in the single player campaign.

The bad performance of Anniversary mode makes no sense. My HDD died on me and I replaced with an SSD. This makes everything load really fast and retains higher framerate from my experience. Everything exept the Steam release of H2A on Anniversary graphics. With my HDD, I had a wait a bit on the beginning of each mission before the random stuttering and freezing stopped before the game being playable and have most graphics settings on normal and some like anisotropic filtering and antialiasing off or low. Now? It H2A is unplayable on Anniversary graphics for no reason. Every other game in MCC runs smoothly for the most part, even Halo Combat Evolved on Anniversary graphics. I do not get what on Earth is causing H2A to be so demanding. I'm actually done waiting for an update that will fix this and hope a modder will instead because this is unacceptable.

Out of all the halo games, Halo 2 needed the remaster the most. I remember back in 2003 how the game was so eagerly anticipated, hoe people had been upgrading their pcs to max out halo and enjoy all the specular lighting, and when halo 2 released it was one big pile of doo. It had a more complex story, allowed you to play as the arbiter, all of that was cool but the graphics was worse than halo 1 it was major letdown. Now the game has finally been given justice.

Got a Series X and was eager to play Halo 2A but the performance in the Remastered mode is not up to par. I notice heavy drops in fps when there is even a moderate amount of alpha effects on screen. I know that alpha effects, especially in excess do cause performance problems in general, not limited to the Xbox platform or this specific game either, but when the only alpha effect on-screen is the explosion of a small hand grenade and that is enough to drop the fps noticeably then you've got a real problem, and this is 2 years later in 2022. I will test this out on my pc in 4k to see if it's a matter of just needing enough raw compute power or perhaps just an issue with the Series X version.

I love everything about the new visuals in the remaster, but I actually like the older weapon sounds more. Sure they aren't as punchy, but I like how different and unique each weapon sounds from one another. All the human weapons sound like generic real weapons that you could hear in a Battlefield game or something, which while it fits there, doesn't so much in a sci-fi world where you can make a weapon sound like whatever you want. The Covenant weapons all sound like they use some sort of same base sound effect and just changed slightly per weapon making them all feel same-y. While Classic Halo 2 weapon sounds aren't the best in quality or "punchyness" they all sound completely unique and you can tell what gun is going off and from where just from the first time you hear it shoot. Also the Tank shell firing seems to be the opposite, the Classic tank sounds way more impactful than the remaster that sounds like your shooting something with no recoil or force behind it. I also prefer some of the classic music tracks as well. The Choir in the remakes seems WAY too loud over the rest of the instruments, and while their replacements are still pretty great, I will always prefer "Blow Me Away" and "Follow" over their replacements. If they had an option to play with the remastered graphics with classic audio like Halo CE:A does, I'd be a happy camper.

@livingthedream9154 жыл бұрын
@Digital Foundry The reason for those stutters is because on remaster graphics the game keeps the distant level geometry rendered (no occlusion culling) at some kind of unusually high level of detail. This is especially noticeable on High Charity because you can see fully rendered distant platforms on the left in full detail after you go down the very first gravity lift outside the weird Prophet conference. On classic graphics the models and textures aren't loaded in until you get close, which means A: Occlusion culling is broken or B: Anniversary graphics mode loads THE ENTIRE LEVEL in memory and holds it there instead of loading it in sections like classic. Glad you noticed the stuttering.

having played Vista and the MCC back to back, it's got some problems alright AI in MCC feels dumber, maybe it's because I was accustomed to Halo CE's broken higher framerates that made the enemies faster, but even on Halo Vista where I played on Normal I would die a bunch of times, while in the MCC it was all very easy. Classic mode is broken, like with the gearbox port of Halo CE they broke the graphics and AI quirks like Elites being able to dual-wield and small graphical enhancements that made it to the Xbox version but not to Halo 2 Vista, which was the version that was ultimately ported (and remade) for the Xbox One, however something that IS exclusive to the new version is the broken sound mix, which makes the guns and the background score quieter (the latter not exactly being a problem on Vista) Just play The Arbiter and at the banshee section on classic graphics and see how quiet the song ''Follow'' by Incubus is mixed, or when Blow me Away plays in Gravemind straight up cuts in without intro, and plays on loop till the end of the level. Truly a shame, especially when the anniversary version doesn't has either songs.
