Are you playing CE using the original game? You'd probably have a better experience on the MCC (if you have an Xbone). 60fps+1080p+Anniversary retexturing.

But the Anniversary retexturing just looks wrong.

Verb's playing AoTCR. I made the mistake one day of reading his post title in Sean Connery's voice.

Then play the game in classic mode.

From a distance, everything looks great, sure. Up close, however, there's something I can't quite put my finger on, that looks a bit out of place. Some of the Character Models in particular (I think they were just ripped from Reach) also look a bit too bulky, and there are parts of the scenery which don't match the original, making for a few invisible walls on the terrain, here and there.

At a distance, there are a few areas that would certainly make good Computer backgrounds, but CMT's mods for Halo CE look a lot better.

The character models being taken from Reach isn't even an issue, like, at all. Y'know, considering that Reach takes place just days before CE, and that the Covenant you fight on Installation 04 are literally the Covenant that attacked Reach.
That and Reach's models were great.

LOL

Reach character models are objectively the ugliest.

I mean, as much as I hate Reach, no. You're objectively wrong.

It's a well known fact that Halo 4 has most of the ugliest Covenant models
Halo CE's and 2's look original models look like utter trash. H2A has fantastic models. Halo 3's are just flat out dumb (much like the rest of the game).

Halo 3's are just flat out dumb (much like the rest of the game).

Shut up, though.

Halo 4 is even worse than Reach.

>thinking the character models from the Halo trilogy are bad

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL

Because they really are, not counting H2A.
Reach, Wars and H2A have the best models in the series. Objectively.

Shut up, though.

I'm not wrong though.
Halo 3's Sangheili were stupid looking fucking hunchbacks.

Depends on what models you're looking at. I've got models of most Reach assets in Gmod. I happened to be taking a peek at marines/army troopers the other day and found that I appreciated all the little details put into them. As far as actual normal humans go, Reach did a good job with marines and their armour.

if you even feel down just remember at least you're not halo 4's armour models

LOVE ME!

It looks fine up close. No worse than Reach or 4 did, and better than every other Halo besides those two

Some surfaces look like somebody botched a glazing job to me.

The Reach skins didn't quite fit using the CE Biped's animation is what I'm getting at. As a result, some Marine Bipeds looked really fat, and the Elites in particular looked like they were hunched over a lot more than usual. Not something that detracts from the art style of the models themselves, but nonetheless, it just looks slightly out of place.

Geometry not matching perfectly isn't even an issue either, unless you're walking up to every single centimeter of the environment to see what matches and what doesn't.

You're greatly downplaying the Geometry mismatching and you know it. But let's forget, for a moment, that you never fail to exaggerate points you argue for, and completely dismiss everything you have even the slightest contention with. 


While not exactly problematic in this instance, unless someone is going for the fastest possible speedrun on Anniversary's graphics, you can see that, despite the differing angles in screenshots, there is a sizeable difference there.

I don't have too strong an opinion over it, but imo, the small details tend to compound into something that doesn't quite look right, in the otherwise visually appealing bigger picture of the Remaster.

Is CEA the only Halo you've played or something?

"hunched"

I mean, no, but okay.
The geometry isn't nearly as big of an issue you're making it out to be.
It'd look significantly worse if the textures were slapped onto the already existing geometry.

If Saber were allowed to make changes to the game other than updating it visually, then there wouldn't be an issue.
But 343 made the decision not to let them because "m-muh halo needs to stay the same" mentality of the retarded fanbase.

Like I said, unless you're inspecting every little bit of wall, it's literally a non-issue.

I'm going to assume this sounded legitimately condescending in your head. Of course I've put significant time into (at least the campaigns of) each major FPS title in the series to date. What does this question have to do with anything?

Because every Halo suffers from shitty texturework.

Well when you're using promotional screenshots watermarked by the Devs themselves, of course they'll have the aesthetic completely on point. I'm not even going to bother responding to the other stuff you said, because you're repeating yourself, and I feel my original response to those points basically covers what I wanted to say.

Dude, the Elites are no more hunched than they are in CE, Reach, Wars, 2/2A, 4 and 5.
Elites have always had a hunch. The only time they're straight up is when they aren't in combat.
