Halo MCC PC Discussion Thread

Darmok N Jalad · Mar 3, 2020

I still have an unopened Halo CE for Xbox—I think I paid $5 for it many years ago. Not sure if it will ever amount to a collectors item, but it’s frightening to think of just how many copies of that game I’ve purchased over the years—Xbox, PC, Xbox 360, and Mac, physical, digital, as part of MCE.

Played a bit of the first mission on legendary, seems the AI have the same "issue" they had in Reach in which they're quicker than they should be. Reach was only tolerable because you could pick enemies off at a distance with the DMR and use active camo on a whim.

Went through this mission on the og pc version just yesterday and it was not nearly as hard.

Playing on normal it is then. :/

Well, the original game did run on the Xbox, which was basically a Pentium III @ 733mhz and a GeForce 3 @ 233mhz.
