Old or new, Halo is Halo

@coyote_knight I think it's a sort of chromatic aberration effect maybe? I don't have a high enough resolution monitor to see it clearly myself and I think my post was a crop of someone else's screenshot so that doesn't help lol

@crisperstorm Why does the UI look blurry? Like there's a layer of oil warping the icons.

Yeah yeah yeah nitpicking but why would you display the bullets so small and in one long row 😭

@Kalijvc Wildlife in general really. They keep going out of their way to make things canon and have them show up in other media and then just... don't include it when it would make sense?

@crisperstorm It was the perfect time to bring back the Thornbeasts

A little sad all the new content for CE2 is mostly from H2 and H3 and doesn't draw from the huge amount of the cut content that Digsite had previously spotlighted

@theffapanda @frogarchist It's wild how extreme the shift is from "343 hates Halo and does nothing right" to "don't even think of criticizing their game" I feel like this happened a lot somewhere between Infinite's delay and it's launch but it wasn't nearly as insufferable as it is now

@frogarchist The amount of "if you dont think 343 has cooked with this game, you're not a real Halo fan" is concerning Like... its not even out yet. you're being algorithm'd feedback from people who were handpicked to give you positive feedback. Chill and wait and see.

you can't make even the most minor criticisms of the remake without getting called "miserable" by the geniuses and free thinkers of the world

@frogarchist I had a post that was like, half praise and half critique and still people jumped in calling me a tourist like what am I supposed to be saying lol

@BajatomicBlast TBH I've kept Halo at pretty much arm's length for years now and forgot that things happened with the project. Didn't mean anything by this, sorry

@crisperstorm Honestly thank god they didn't put more in, having to see the macworld armor alone makes me want to throw up after everything I went through on that project.

@BajatomicBlast Sorry I'm not fully sure what you mean? I've just always loved some of this content and it was a dream come true actually seeing it when I used to follow YT tutorials as a kid that told me the gun exists it's just outside of the map. Not saying it was at all necessary to include

@crisperstorm I will never understand the insanely masturbatory attitude everyone still has for this content to this day (and I worked on it!) and the whole impetus that every Halo needs to take after it going forward as if that content wasn't removed for a good reason originally.

@kevinemofficial I mean fair enough! Doesn't really hurt that it has both

@crisperstorm I guess it's just a preference difference then because looking at a half empty slider pauses me more than seeing 16/32

@Unyshek I just wanna know if the flamethrower made it in tbh

Do you have questions about Halo: Campaign Evolved? 👀 We've shared a lot of news since the Xbox Games Showcase, but I know y'all probably want even more nitty-gritty details Share what you're still curious about below!👇

@kevinemofficial I mean the visuals convey the information you actually want from a glance which is just an estimation If I have 13 or 14 bullets it doesn't really matter what does matter is that you're half empty and visuals tell that quicker and easier from a glance

@crisperstorm Why are they not just showing the numbers? Nobody needs to see bullet rows, just read the number

@Turbofurby I love the braille on 4/5 it feels just subtle enough that it feels like a nice detail to notice. The 117 stamped on just felt so... blatant? Like he isn't one of the most iconic characters ever and we were worried people wouldn't get it

Its kinda funny in hindsight how the Campaign Evolved Master Chief is the first version of Chief in over a decade to not have 117 on his chest. Alotta folks dont know that its on his armor in braille in Halo 4 and 5.

@PTCreeperKiller They do have 3 different counters for the AR's ammo which is silly Same goes for the needler having a counter added on despite it already having a visual indicator and the HUD element as well

@crisperstorm Honestly, I like it. It is, however, unnecessary to have both the visual display and numerical display. Should've just shown total ammo, like before. Though, it could be a toggle. That'd be nice.

Which is to be expected, most of it never even got canonized in the big encyclopedia a few years ago but I can dream Still holding out hope for the last missing weapon that was officially in the game just exclusive to the PC port

@CarlosAZui99128 CE does it better and it's nearly 25 years old! Why does every company always try to reinvent UI when it was already doing it's job and doing it well

@crisperstorm Cierto cierto esta mejor que lo simplón de infinite, pero vamos tenían claros ejemplos de como hacerlo

@NotNoxu It's a step up from Infinite replacing the visuals with only numbers but it's still a long way from every other Halo even CE and that's like 25 years old now lol

@crisperstorm i think the Ui may be the weakest point in the whole remake

@hmmmmmmmm_yes It really is a change just to be a change like every time my phone updates and they shuffle everything for no reason The HUD regressed so much in HI and CE2 but before it was basically unchanged since H2 because it was already nearly perfect and conveyed everything clearly

@crisperstorm 343 just seem addicted to making bad changes. I cannot really fathom that there are entire rooms of people in that company who looked at this change and decided to approve it.

@ScourgeSolace I know I posted this before I learned about the 60 count lmao It's such a dumb design especially when 3rd person mode exists now so you can't even rely on the gun's built in counter only the HUD element

@crisperstorm Buddy, it gets even worse

@crisperstorm its not 60 rounds so they can get away with this

Its genuinely so tiny it could be a visor outline Elements should be easily readable from a glance or in peripherals especially now w/ 3rd person where you also lack the gun's built in counter Look at H3 it's immediately obvious you're low without even looking directly at it

@Plasmaposting Like I know I'm one of probably a handful of people who genuinely care about Halo's UI but Infinite and CE2 fumbling around trying to reinvent the wheel instead of just taking the layout that's been nearly unchanged since Halo 2 is embarrassing

@crisperstorm Because graphic design is their passion
