This remaster looks amazing, almost an entirely new game, the soundtrack seems off though

I've heard other people complain about 2A's sountrack but other then the changed licensed track and MJOLNIR/GUNGNIR mix I generally think the 2A music is better or at least as good as the oriignal

I love it how every weapon pickup has a UI waypoint! It looks so good and not horrendously horrible!

Now if only most of the levels weren't repetitive as fuck (multiple wave defense sections per mission), artificially lengthened (gondola rides and repeated rooms), and artificially difficult on legendary (this should need no explanation).

>repeated rooms
nigga, the CE campaign is literally made up of the same levels backwards

the only time i ever thought the music was strange was during the first level where you're the arbiter and you're in the banshees
>repeated rooms
i think you confused halo 2 with ce

Yeah, thats why 3, ODST, and Reach have better campaigns than 1 and 2. At least CE has a good weapon sandbox on all difficulties, with only the assault rifle performing poorly in most situations. The extent of bullshit in CE's campaign are rocket flood, and its otherwise the most balanced legendary experience in the series.

>complaining about a tiny feature in the H2A multiplayer which is separate from H2 classic and everything else
just admit that youre a faggot and get on with it

shame about co-op being broken tho lol

So you're just gonna ignore Quarantine Zone, Sacred Icon, Gravemind, and High Charity?

I like the remastered soundtrack. The OG is great too, but they did a pretty good job

As long as the soundtrack isn't the neutered shit that was on the console version. That pissed me off immensely and is one of the main reasons why I'm iffy on getting halo on pc

This, 2 sucked.

What H2A did to Peril should be classed as rape.

CE is way fucking worse with tedious bullshit. 2 may have some annoying sections with gondolas and shit but even combined it's not as bad as The Library; not to mention that outside of those sections 2 has way less copy-pasted hallways and rooms then CE.

>but muh re-used level themes.

2 re-uses level themes, yes, but CE doesn't just re-use the theme, but the geometry, too.

CE had a great first half and a bad second half, 2 had like four good levels and they were all Chief levels and the rest sucked. It takes CE's problems and makes them worse in different ways.

>got to the first arbiter level on legendary
>haven't played it since the banshee part

for whatever reason I have no motivation to finish the game until infinite is released, legendary on CE still feels fun though and I haven't bothered with the PC multiplayer because it never finds a game

Nah.

>Amazing
Delta Halo (2)
Metropolis (2)
Gravemind (2)
343 Guilty Spark (CE; first time through)

>Great:
Silent Cartographer (CE)
Great Journey (2)
Regret (2)
Outskirts (2)
Uprising (2)
Assault on the Control Room (CE)
Cairo Station (2)
Truth & Reconcillation (CE)

>Good
The Maw (CE)
Two Betrayals (CE; If i'm being generous and not holdint it being a total rehash of AoTC against it)
High Charity (2)
The Arbiter (2)
Halo (CE, if i'm being generous)

>Bad
343 Guilty Spark (CE, repeat playthroughs)
Sacred Icon (2)
Quaratine Zone (2)

>Shit
The Oracle (2)
The Library (CE)


So, averaged up (with shit being 1 point, bad 2 point, good 3 points, etc), 2 is a 3.53; CE is a 3.22

Please tell me the Breaking Benjamin is still there

The perspective of the remaster image makes it look like MC is Godzilla huge and has just destroyed New Mombasa behind him.

It is but only if you have the classic graphics on.

>Playing Halo 2 on legendary

that's where you fucked up user.

Halo 2 had a stupid amounts of cuts, the whole campaign got scrapped and remade 9 months from launch, they didn't have time to playtest the difficulities beyond making sure it wasn't overtly broken and you'd die in one hit; so Halo 2's difficulty settings are unbalanced as fuck.

Play on Heroic, it's about as challenging as legendary in CE.

If you switch to Classic graphics, yes. In new graphics both the Breaking Benjamin track and the Incubus track get replaced with something entirely new, presumbly due to liscensing shit.

awww shit, I forgot keyes

With keyes factored in as "good", it actually goes down a bit, being 3.2 rather then 3.222....

Also note that I'm rating inside tiers here, I just didn't factor that into my math, but it would result in even a better score for 2/a worse score for CE.

I mean I beat the game on original Xbox way back when but right now I was committed to a legendary run since I enjoyed legendary on reach/ce, but right at Cairo station when I had 6 elites alive out of the covenant ships at once I felt that the game was bullshitting me.

>Nah
Yeah

Make your own rankings like I did then.

I'm not autistic like you, Elitefag, 2 campaign was rushed, the levels were poorly made, and Covenant story was boring and ruined the Covenant to the point they're no longer even a focus, I rest my case.

For me, is Moon over Mombasa

the remastered cutscenes are actually kino as heck

>Amazing
>Gravemind

Heh I see you've never played Halo 4 or 5's campaigns.
