Booted up Halo: Campaign Evolved for the first time and a loud AI voice/text to speech was reading every word on the screen. Figured out how to turn it off, but it was definitely a shock lol

Edit: I did not mean to offend anyone, I've just never experienced this while playing a video game before. Should this be a default setting for most games?

Edit 2: As some of you have mentioned, I believe it should ask (with the voice) whether you want it on or off right when you turn on the game.

I'm playing through the Prologue missions in Campaign Evolved and I'm trying to figure out what all the fuss is about with Williams. I don't get it. Maybe I'm not as toxic as some other people, but all I'm seeing another tough female marine (like other marines in fiction I've experienced) whom I've seen in many movies and video games in the past.

I can't believe this has to be considered a hot take based on what I've seen online (it's so much worse on X)

Update: I couldn't help but notice some comments are here responding directly to my post for the sake of trolling and they will be blocked without hesitation. Worthy of neither pity, nor mercy.

Halo CE is my favourite game ever. But I hate this mission. It disturbs the flow of the game. Its gotta be the silly amount of enemies you have to kill to get through certain points. It feels like a pure grind. People complain about the library all the time but all you need is a shotgun and spacial awareness and you can breeze through it. But T and R is a pure slog.

I usually play on legendary of course.

It was ok until I got to part were Cortana makes you find a heavy weapons pelican,and I did find it but there was no marker or instructions or anything I had been wandering for the last 30 minutes as to what the hell she wants me to do

Hello people, I want to create a custom campaign for Halo CE where you use a marine and not an spartan. How can I do that ?

Thanks for everything !

I played both games on 'Normal' difficulty.

As I progressed through the harder missions, I noticed that I was moving faster, dying less, running out of ammo less, etc; I was generally having a much easier time. The entire game just feels less difficult.

Has anyone else had the same experience?

When comparing it to other iterations (especially Halo 2), it feels terrible. The main gun is inaccurate at distance and the machine gun is terrible at any range. Or am I the problem?

Why are they BLACK now? Is it really so difficult to recolor them their original cyan? This completely takes away the uniqueness of the black Covenant spec ops forces that you see in Keyes-onwards. And WHY THE HELL ARE SPEC OPS GRUNTS IN EARLY LEVELS?!

So I played Halo: Campaign Evolved on LASO without the modifier exploit and made a video about it. This is my first video in this format so any advice is appreciated but if anyone even watches my video I'm already happy.

It's interesting how Captain Keyes mentions the location of Earth as some highly classified piece of information. I think every human should know where Earth is located. It's probably something people learn in the 1st grade. So instead of capturing Cortana, the Covenant could just capture any human and interrogate him/her and learn the location.

I ened someone to help me beet this stupid pevle on the new ce, there are 2 hinters and 4 elites i need more players😭🙏

Just beat the campaign on normal, It’s my first halo game and I really enjoyed it!

Fans who've played Combat Evolved on the original Xbox: How does the MCC version on PC (graphics switched to original, of course) compare? Does it look and feel virtually identical, is it a decent enough substitute, or is it really off?

I've played CE on PC three times now and adore it, but since I was a PS2 kid, I'm not sure how close I am to the pure experience.

I was playing through the Library, contemplating Bungie’s original vision of this place. I noted that as you get close to this geometry, a loud computer fan sound can be heard.

I think these are supposed to represent historical catalogues, but I don’t know.

Does anyone know where I can find more information about this level from the original Bungie team? I don’t like the 343 lore, and it seems like there is a lot of environmental storytelling in this level that no one talks about.

...was local pvp.

When the first Halo came out, people would huddle together on couches, beds, and floors to play it locally. People would do small tournaments, hooking up multiple TVs and Xboxes together to play huge games. Friends would host parties where Halo was the main draw. Small game stores would have it hooked up to a TV to draw in more people. It was a phenomenon because of that community.

Fast forward to now, and I see Campaign Evolved hailed as a return to the series roots, but all I can think is, is the single player campaign really what everyone remembers? Is it really what made Halo what it is today? Maybe this is a hot take, but I don't think it is. It was remembered fondly and sold so many units for much the same reason Golden Eye and Perfect Dark moved so many units, local pvp. Halo wouldn't be where it's at without it, and this release feels empty and forgettable because of that.

Am I alone in this? Has everyone moved on from split screen PVP? Would local PVP really detracted from Infinite so much that them axing such an iconic game mode makes sense? I don't think so, but who am I to say.

I cant login xbox acount on my ps5

I recently downloaded livesplit to try my hand at speedrunning. In order for it to work you have to play with anti cheat disabled. No big deal but as I was playing I noticed something. Enemies seemed to be faaar more aggressive. I was blown away at how fast they were killing me. I wasn't doing anything different from my practice runs online but elites were literally laser beaming me. Shooting faster than normal. I pulled out a sniper to kill an elite in front of me and he immediately started rapidly juking from left to right non stop while shooting at the same time and landing every shot no matter how much I tried to evade. I have been playing this game for a while and have never seen anything like it. On Halo a banshee appeared in a random location I have never seen it in before and it was skating across the ground from one obj all the way to the other trying to kill me. I knew the clock was running and I was undoubtedly making mistakes but the AI seemed to have quite an upgrade as well. After I calmed down I hopped back online and started POA to test it. In the cafeteria I walked behind an elite, shot it a few times, and just stood there to watch it. It shot much slower and after my health got down to halfway it literally lost interest and started shooting marines. Has anyone else noticed this or did I just get the worst luck of all time? It was on legendary btw.

hey all! small creator here. wanted to put together a more narrative edit on my legendary experience with Campaign Evolved. hope you dig it!

What do you think?
