Is Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary worth it?

[Strange-Benhur]

Is Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary really worth getting compare to say The 2002 Halo port by Gearbox Software and Halo: Custom Edition? I own both copies so I was just wondering if getting Anniversary is really worth it since I already played the game before years ago. On top of that, I always heard from people and from a few YouTubers that Anniversary is inferior to the original Xbox release.

what do you guys think?

I would only consider getting it here for the MP but even then it's a hard sell

[Falleax]

It's based off the Gearbox PC port anyway, so any issue from that is still in this. The only significant thing you get is the new visual mode, which is ugly as sin and ruins the aesthetic and atmosphere of the game.

[Wolf DragoX]

its bassically the same port, but with the annyversary mode, HD support, more people to play MP, weapon skins and some other stuff

[wwm0nkey]

I'd say for the future mod support it will 100% be worth it.

Does the Gearbox version not have MP?

We kinda have mod support right now because you can launch the game without Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC). Proper mod support was teased back in January and is going to be a focus in 2021. No word on exactly what we will be getting.

Mods

- I feel like we’ve been talking lightly about Mods forever with little to no real information but that is about to change. Mod support will be the main focus for our team and partners going into and throughout next year. What does this mean? What games? What about tool support? When can I get my hands on this? We will be going more in depth on what exactly Mod support means for MCC next year but the goal with this line of work is to empower the community to continue to support MCC for as long as there is a desire to – and yes, that does include tools.
- The EULA is complete, and we will begin sharing more information about our plans to release this publicly prior to the first set of Mod work releasing next year.

Yes and the current lead on Discord confirmed per-game mod tools and Steamworkshop support, GameCheat13 has apparently already seen the tools and descriped them as Custom Editon level like tools

[wwm0nkey]

We should be hearing way more about the mod tools in the next update in January, hopefully they also start flighting the custom browser early in January too
