Old Vs New

[BuFFu]

Just curious seeing what peoples preference are when it comes to the enhanced new graphics vs the old school graphics. personally i like the old school ones because it plays a bit on your imagination. but i'd like to know what you gamers think.

Old. I just don't like the new environments. It feels like it's trying too hard to include as many things as possible. Take the Desert Stealth part of Truth and Reconciliation. It's like playing a different level entirely. There's something charming about the old graphics.

Not only that, but the remaster actually leaves you at a disadvantage in some areas. Here is an example.

I fell off of this because I thought that the edge was walkable in the remaster, but I fell right through it due to having no collision.

I think I prefer the old.

also, the new graphics perform ok, but I prefer the super low input lag of playing 150 fps + all day long

Definitely old. The new graphics and lighting kill a lot of the mood that was made for these areas. The level 343 Guilty Spark is completely ruined in the new graphics.

That said, the old graphics are heavily bugged thanks to the botched Gearbox Port, which CE Ani uses as a basis.

Just look at how awful the bumpmapping is. Jackal and Deployable Covers don't even change color when shot.

I personally prefer the newer graphics despite CE being one of my most played games. The only level to me that is an exception is 343 guilty spark, levels like assault on the control room, the library look horrendous on the older graphics, I never really liked "dark" undertones to levels I had the same issue for bo3s map der riese, which I had a reversed opinion, I disliked the remastered, it was too dark, despite the community prefering it.

old. I think newer is more for people who discover for the first time Halo CE and has no nostalgia, or just kids who likes flashy colors even more :p (no offense I don't say that you're a kid if you play the anniversary graphix)

It's a mixed bag. Sometimes the new graphics are beautiful and a great addition. Sometimes the new graphics ruin the mood, tone, and hamper my immersion. All the night time engagements happen under a full moon in the new graphics. I can understand toning down the darkness but it goes too far.

I look forward to modding tools that will be able to change the collision to more closely match the enhanced graphics.

Soul (Old) vs Soulless (New).

Old is too plain. New has too much going on. A middle ground would have been better. However even though the new graphics break the darker atmosphere of the original I still prefer the higher fidelity look.

I bet he enjoys the high bullet spread too.

I only like the classic graphics in Halo: CEA. Halo 2 Anniversary campaign surprisingly looks really nice, though.
