Halo: CE had some crazy good AI for the time I think. The fact the ai would dodge, take cover, flank, surround and even rush you. The way the grenades would blow up even while on the ground which allowed for those massive hallway clearing explosions. The way you could sneak past enemies if they don't actually see you. This game was so damn amazing lol and personally I prefer the original graphics because of the tone they show off.

[@roguemerc]

Yea, AI had largely been terrible escort missions previously, the fact a marine would run away from you if stickied, or drive vehicles in an open space(marines could drive ghosts), was absolutely insane. The most underrated aspect for me, is the general crew, they coulda gotten away with just having marines, but random ship crew running around with pistols really added to the realism.

I'm glad you powered through it and still had a good time regardless!

Playing in "anniversary graphics" is a hindrance as some of the geometry isn't identical. But the hitboxes and hit detection still run off "classic graphics," so in anniversary mode it you can shoot (or get shot "through" walls/objects. Also, there are many more audio queues in classic mode, which give you more situational awareness! ALSO, the plasma rifle in Halo 1 is the best iteration.

I'm glad you're liking Halo. The sniper rifle isn't effective against the Flood because the bullets are designed to tear through armor. They don't need to worry about organ failure. The infection form housing on combat forms isn't a vulnerable spot until Halo 2, the rest of the body still gets punched through by sniper shots. As for the graphics... For me, it's primarily the geometry not lining up with the visuals that really kills it for me. Fun fact: the flashlight is very useful for spotting cloaked enemies, in the original graphics.

You also understand plasma/kinetic weapons and their strengths intuitively which is SO refreshing. 2: You cut out the extra hours of not much happening while you die to uninteresting or repetitive things, and 3: Its all one video instead of a 3 month long series. Kudos for all that, +1 subscribe, looking forward to Halo 2, welcome to the series.

Dude the part on truth and reconciliation where you go into the ship and enemies are attacking from all directions is for sure the hardest part in the game and seasoned veterans have died many times there.

[@NeightrixPrime]

LASO can be grueling in that room but regular legendary is trivially easy once you learn to watch the motion tracker and pre-nade the doors so you can move in and clear it - then grab more nades and fresh plasma pistol and nade the next door.

Gotta say it's hilarious seeing you do what I used to do when I was oh so young (and still do now lol): constnatly retrying the checkpoint to steal that Banshee in AotC. Truly, classic Halo players are the same across generations

This is so damn well edited, fantastic playthrough!

[@skyhawkslcb18]

love seeing another brother experience this

You immediately discovering your love for the CE Magnum warms my loins.

Just saw this and went OH NO here we go again but this i'll say is this is a good early birthday present for me

Enjoyed this video, it's well-made. As a long-time Halo player, it's always interesting to watch people rediscover the shield-plasma meat-human weapons strength and figure out what weapons they like. Speedrunners mostly stay in old graphics both out of personal preference and because the simplicity makes information more obvious at a glance, as you mentioned. Plasma pistol is indeed GOATed

As someone who beta tested CE (ask to see my special nameplate), I spend a lot of time lately watching people experience the franchise for the first time - and TBH, it's usually gal gamers since most dudes go full ITZ YA BOI... so you're a breath of fresh air in your honesty, and have subbed to watch you keep going 💪

Oh this is so cool. I began watching this channel because of the COD and Medal of Honor play throughs. And now an expansion into the Halo verse. Heck yeah. Halo is one of the core games that really put me on my path to video gaming. Also the lore that makes up the Halo verse is so good to nerd out on.

You'll begin to understand a little better when you play Halo 2 in terms of why we're at war with the covenant. No spoilers but you'll enjoy it, Halo 2 is the best game story wise. Props to you for starting off your Halo journey on legendary. All I'm gonna say though is if you plan to do the same with Halo 2, be prepared, I won't spoil but there's a certain enemy in Halo 2 that is an absolute pain in the ass on legendary, they are the personification of PTSD, goodluck, you'll know what I mean when you start playing.

The few woud recognize the green pistol as the MVP weapon of this game that it truly is. Great job!

[@samuelsherman5513]

If this video was almost 4 hours, I can only imagine what Halo 2 legendary is going to be like

[@xFATMAN192x]

Can’t wait to watch your Halo journey continue as you go through all the games & all the lore. It’s gonna be wild ride.
