Blow me away

Is the song in this PC version of Halo 2?

I'm still completing Halo from the begining so I haven't reached that point yet.

You can hear it if you're using the classic graphics. The anniversary soundtrack omitted it for copyright reasons.

Gotta love Breaking Benjamin.

You can with the classic graphics. For some stupid reason they removed it which is a real shame. Guess it's just a Tab press away though.

Can't you have Anniversary Graphics with Classic sound like what you can do with Halo 1?

That song was made for Halo 2 for FREE, so wtf 343?!

There was a big controversy with the band causing the band to break up over this specific song which 343 was unable to get the rights to it when they remastered it. wasnt 343s fault this time

Waiting on a mod that allows you to play it with remastered graphics.

Shouldn't a file replacement work in theory?

I know it's sad, but this is one little thing that has me wondering whether to play the Classic version vs the Anniversary. I'm not keen on the Incubus song, but that Breaking Benjamin segment is great. It's gives Halo a feeling of place & time.

I never played Halo 1's Anniversary variant, the graphics didn't feel right to me personally. But Halo 2 Anniversary's Graphical update really looks impressive, and faithful to original more importantly.

Halo CE has a weird ruinous vibe to the forerunner stuff that CEA doesn't. Really messed up the atmosphere of 343 Guilty Spark imo (especially with the lower amounts of blood)

From what I played of it in the flights, I definitely feel like Halo 2's remaster was much better with that stuff visually. It maintained the atmosphere well, while keeping it in line with the more modernized interpretations of forerunner architecture. The missions on New Mombasa also make nods to ODST in design which is cool, but I kinda wish they kept the red skies from the classic version of Metropolis as well. It made it look more apocalyptic, like a proper alien invasion.
