Cool I think I’m busy a lot this week and I wanna finish reach first but maybe next week sometime
or just bother me in the middle of my workday and maybe I’ll fuck off for a bit
he can just set it to be a universal default control scheme though like all the other button layouts in MCC so he’ll be fine
also yeah i’ll play co-op with anybody, 3 and Reach (maybe not in the MCC??) have 4 player co-op FOR THE RECORD

perhaps it could be a rotating crew of villains, I have only just learnt that it can be 4 players co-op and I feel very loved and supported
also why the fuck don’t we play some custom games too then lol??? we easily have enough people to shoot at each other now. sb halo club is my dream

shocked how much trouble i had with CE 1 on heroic after all these years, glad i didn’t try legendary this go-round. my gaming spirit has atrophied apparently 
1 and 2 solo legendary are a lot closer to tedious than the others for sure

I think a lot of it is a question of game physics and balancing polish. Halo 1 Legendary is just massive spikes of difficulty (Two Betrayals esp) and same with Halo 2 (jackal snipers, Gravemind). And there’s a ton of janky ways to die, even on Easy you can get one-hit killed by Flood or Brutes, and some of these are more accentuated due to slight physics changes in MCC.
I’m def down for halo club! here’s my steam, let me know who u are on sb + msg if u wanna coop. im free rn but usually free after 7pm weekdays, plus i got friday off

ignore the clickbait title, and as an accomplished halo scientist this was mostly stuff im familiar with, but i thought this video is a pretty decent breakdown of why halo fans tend to be so anti- the enhanced mobility options that got added from reach onwards
having a little nostalgia bomb looking at the old CE cutscenes for 343 Guilty Spark… spoilers if you haven’t played the game… but look at that beautiful scanline filter! makes everything feel moodier. they didn’t include in the remaster sadly
I only just noticed that they use a similar flicker on the text during load screens, which is…an unusual choice
PSX had a ton of great simulated displays in games. With the high-contrast lighting games tended to favor, you can find some really good stuff just with flickering emissive materials
I’m getting annoyed all over again at the fact that 343 Guilty Spark declares at the end of Halo 3 “You ARE Forerunner” even though later this apparently not the case in canon, because humans and Forerunners co-existed, and Forerunners chose humans as their successor race blah blah.
What’s going on there? is it just a blatant 343i retcon or was Spark always an unreliable narrator, or what?
I did see a theory on Halopedia that it’s due to Spark being rampant and confusing Master Chief with an ancient Forerunner (e.g. his quotes in CE, “Why would you hesitate do do what you have already done?” “You asked me once if it were my choice…”
