In the August 2022 update, 343 has just updated Halo Reach’s graphics by increasing the lighting bloom to look more like the Xbox 360’s original Halo Reach. It definitely looks more faithful to the original but I personally think that the overall image quality has been degraded. Here is a video on Youtube giving a visual of the change https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9B8BwwxtBY&ab_channel=why What do you guys think? and should the possibility of a toggle be implemented in the graphics settings?

Personally, I prefer the changes. That said, it’s all subjective.
Rather than a in-game toggle, maybe you can make a mod removing the effects you dislike? That seems like a better way to approach more systemic changes like this, especially with regards to something that arguably makes the offering in MCC closer the original game.

I don’t like these upgrades they made, image quality looks worse than before. This is a personal opinion. I would accept these changes only if there was some improvement in frames per second.

I forgot how -Yoink!- og reach looked. I thought the newer look was intentional since it looks cleaner. I guess its great that its close to the original; but man it just looks like the camera is smeared. I really hope a toggle or mod comes out.

If it’s faithful to the original, it’s better in my book

Personally, I think the toggle would be a better idea for those who don’t like it so that Xbox players aren’t left out if they don’t like the change.
