ce vs anniversary LAN party

everything new is old again

Thanks!

Thanks for linking to those. I put a lot of work into making those videos.

I originally wanted to have voice overs, and turn the videos into a video review. But I couldn’t get the voice overs to sound as good as I wanted. I don’t exactly have a radio voice.

Changing the player gravity, grenade count, player speed, health recharge, and Super Shield’s flaming feet made a HUGE difference in how the game played compared to the original. These are simple game type options that can be changed in the settings and, and I am very puzzled why 343 didn’t have these set as default in Anniversary Matchmaking.

Sorry but CEA MP does not play like CE MP.

No it doesn’t play like the original, but with some gametype changes, it played close. Player gravity helped more than anything.

Whether it is close enough depends on the person. The LAN party we did, each person had a different opinion. One person who didn’t get into Halo til Halo 2 loved it. Two Halo CE fans, including me, like the original better. One person likes the original because of Blood Gulch and Sidewinder. One person who was a huge fan of Halo CE likes the new one better. Everyone loved the better graphics though.
