How did the reviewer fail to mention that you could also switch from the remaster he gameplay & music to the original graphics & music? It's a neat feature to the game.
The only thing about Halo CE Anniversary that bothers me is I have trouble figuring out which graphics are canon. Here's an example, does the Assault Rifle really look like the HD version in the story or is it the classic version?
This is a welcome game. I remember the BIG issue I had with the first Halo was not being able to tell enemies apart from the background and getting lost in identical-looking hallways. With HD, this should not be a problem ^_^
the best part of this game "package" is the new multi player maps that uses the same engine as reach. It is a good game, but even with the HD graphics and the HD music, time has cash up with it, every weapon seems weightless, so the the game play is not as good as some other titles, like Reach . I think Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is good for nostalgy.
If I had Halo for my PC, that would be my favorite game since it has the original multiplayer. But I don't so this takes the original Halo's place as my favorite Halo game and one of my favorite games of all time.
I was so excited to play Halo Combat Evolved multiplayer again, but then It ended up being Halo Reach in Combat Evolved maps. Thanks a lot 343. Thanks a lot....
I really liked Halo when it first came out, I played the remake and it didn't feel nearly as good as I once though. It might have been co-op that made it good for me the first time.
this game was awesome in 2001 when it was remade in 2003 and the new remake no matter wich version you play its still halo wich is good but only 1 minor complaint is the unsc marines are wearing unsc army uniforms wich bugs me because im a major halo geek but if they made it similar to the h2 marine costume that would have mad 100% perfect 10/10
'The Duke' is the closest to the original layout with the white and black buttons mapped to the left and right bumpers. So who else is waiting for Halo 2 HD?
I hate modern shooters of this decade, I HATE them, maybe it is just because I love platformers, but the real reason is because they are just bland, repetitive, souless experiences. But there are 2 that stand out, Halo Combat Evolved, and my personal fav, Half Life 2. THOSE GAMES are fun, they have engaging characters and story, and most of all, they are arcaic. (well, half life 2 is probably not, but halo sure is) I love those games
never played halo, ive seen my freinds play it and talk about it but thats about it... i was always this nintendo type of guy, but quick question....can anyone answer, is halo that awsome as i hear they say, and which game is the best?
@412magic They'll make their money dude, a million people will buy this. I'll get it soon, Reach, Battlefield 3 and Team Fortress 2 are taking up most of my gaming time right now.
I refused to play full for a remake of a game I already have, I will buy this game, but when the price plummets. If I wanna play the game, I'll play my original copy
@Vendettare1 Thats actually what I love about the game, its not just some mindless shooter, it actually has some thought behind it. but i have never played the first one, I know call me a douche but I never did, but I really want to, oh and thats just your opinion, and I respect it.
I liked Halo when it came out, though mainly for the multiplayer. When I play my games, I want them to make me yell "oh, shit!" Even the hardest difficulty got monotonous. I had arguments with an old friend of mine when Halo came out over which was the better game: Halo or Doom 2. I think they both have their strong and weak points, but I still think Doom holds up better in the "oh, shit" level. I remember once opening a room full of those red ball things. That sucked. lol
"without halo, the xbox 360 wouldn't exist" he says that like the consequence is some sort of landmark in human history that was generated by the cause
@GamerNinjaX Wtf are you talking about? this game came out like 26 years ago, remember when master chief went to save the princess but then The arbiter told him she was at another castle??? God can´t believe you forgot????!!!!
Well worst in the series? Yes. I just hate the look of this game. It's good or at most OKAY, but the Forerunner stuff is all purple. PURPLE!!!!!!!!! That's the Covenant's main color! But it is a remake of the second Greatest FPS, first being GoldenEye, so give it credit.
i know all of cgr are nerds (in the good way) but only this dude gives away that. i mean his voice depicts a pale dude with giant glasses and loose high pants and squared shirt.
With the facial expressions and moment you guys do realise they literally just got the old game and put a new engine in everything is the same just looks new

why didn't he mention the switch to old to new graphics?
if only it had full halo 1 multiplayer with online( blood gultch, ctf, etc) instead of just halo reach anniversary dlc

I think the button layout was probably to make playing a little more comfortable for fans who started in Reach.
I would get this mostly to see if they gave it some interesting achievements.
You can use the halo ce original controls its an option called the duke named after the orignal xbox's first controller.

How to pass the level after 2:20
agreed. what the fuck is up with that crosshair closer to the bottom of the screen? it was from halo 2 and up.

Didn't even mention the ability to swap between HD and original graphics. A minor point maybe, but still worthy of note.
Halo 2 should have played more like the first one.
This game defined console not pc shooters.
i choose halo
@CharlieWaflesBR lmao, how so?
next time get someone who isnt a super-fanboy to do the reviews....
Cmon CGR, I expect better than this.
I'm praying for Halo 2 Anniversary for Xbox 720 next as the 10-year anninversary for Hlo 2.
Hope you enjoyed it dude
@@J.Skyler Hell yeah man! I still do.
Couldn't they at least add some shadows
@412magic They'll make their money dude, a million people will buy this. I'll get it soon, Reach, Battlefield 3 and Team Fortress 2 are taking up most of my gaming time right now.

11 years old? this game came out in 2003 didnt it? I mean for your favorite video game of all time you should know the date?
I beat the game already even the achievement anyone else beat the game?
@Vendettare1 Thats actually what I love about the game, its not just some mindless shooter, it actually has some thought behind it. but i have never played the first one, I know call me a douche but I never did, but I really want to, oh and thats just your opinion, and I respect it.
Oh sergent jhonsen your diologe is so amazing
@megamonstudios i agree
i didn't play the original original but i am a halo fan
@GamerNinjaX 2001
i love tye sound the assualt rifle makes in this game! Better than 3 or reach!!

I love Halo but i have Reach so i'm waiting for Anniversary to come down in price to like £15.
I didn't know cribky from big bang theory reviewed games ...

Keys looks 30 years younger
@jakfan09 I feel the same way, each reviewer has a special genre they review, like for example Jim reviews games that are based off of other things.
@EggShell88X It's apparently acceptable for Derek to do this with Ninty titles, but no so much with Gabe.
@kiwicoon he may be. get the axe.
Hahaa... I've started CE on my PC yesterday. Determined to finish it this time. lol
I loved the Halos that bunjie worked on until it had gameplay like Reach, I'm sorry but I only played Reach for the story
"without halo, the xbox 360 wouldn't exist"
he says that like the consequence is some sort of landmark in human history that was generated by the cause
Mine looks like the xbox evan though i bought the 2013 anniversary
I need to get halo 2.its the only halo I haven't beet
4:02 their you go i did it
Than your not a TRUE fan.
LoL have you seen their "review" for Diablo 3... yeah. I like Diablo 3 too but wow.
i need to get this game
@GamerNinjaX Wtf are you talking about? this game came out like 26 years ago, remember when master chief went to save the princess but then The arbiter told him she was at another castle??? God can´t believe you forgot????!!!!
@Timelord106 wow thats cool actually, some purists might be happy.

i never knew they did shit in hd
i know all of cgr are nerds (in the good way) but only this dude gives away that. i mean his voice depicts a pale dude with giant glasses and loose high pants and squared shirt.
the facial animations look terrible but other than that the game looks nice
@EggShell88X are you denying halos total awesomeness?
I hate the RPG elements in Halo Reach give me halo 3 back
It's orignal Xbox NOT 360 Gabe!!!
i love both its just about opinion
@shadowscx3 good one! XD
I love the original game but I thought this port was ass
You're acting like this is a must buy. Its really not. Its very hit or miss.
But if you're talking Halo Reach, then that game is a must buy.
With the facial expressions and moment you guys do realise they literally just got the old game and put a new engine in everything is the same just looks new
@NODDYODDY21 What a crime
Is it just me or does Gabe review nothing but shooters and maybe a few 3rd person action games.
more of a half life 2 guy myself, but of course halo is just awesome!
"...my favorite game of all time..."
I'm out.
sorry... i just can't listen to that voice :S
im a halo fan but the only problem is ive never finished the first game lol
YAYZ
at least he doesnt think COD is one of the best games of all time...oh wait, yes he does.
This guys voice is horrendous
Starting your review with "my favourite game of all time" isn't a good way to sound professional
I'm sorry but no fps game is the number 1 best game of all time.
grate vid
This guy is the worst halo player I have ever seen... Was he playing on Normal????
Not everybody cares about playing on legendary. For me, normal is good enough because all I care about is the story and kicking alien butt.
Halo did not do anything to the shooter genre
