The new update on 5/30/15 has changed the mechanics of the halo 1 pistol, the sniper, and I think the shotgun as well.
I realize that a lot of people complain about how overpowered the pistol is, but isn’t that part of what made Halo 1 THE game for xbox. What I enjoyed so much about the pistol is how skilled a weapon it was. Now its mechanics have completely changed since the latest update and I can barely get that satisfying three shot kill anymore.
If you don’t restore it in standard matchmaking at least have an option to restore it custom. A lot of old halo 1 fanboys want to play their game exactly as they remember it.
such a recent update for an old game, idk why they are doing this. They should just keep the game how it is
The only things that should change are the networking
What a lot of halo 1 fans were looking for is a way to play halo 1 online other than using XBC. Me and my buddies just want two things, keep the 2 v 2s and add a halo 1 exclusive 4 v 4.
<div></div><div>I’ll deal with all the other glitches just so all the original halo 1 fans can have a place to play our beloved game which is probably the reason we even have an Xbox One. There are options to play halo 2, 3, and 4 online but this is the only decent way to play halo 1 online. </div><div>
The halo 1 pistol is such a skilled weapon and I always loved how you can quickly kill an opponent by two body -Yoink- and flicking the headshot. No game captured this twitch style gaming the same way. Give us our original halo 1 back!</div>
pleeeeeease fix the pistol mechanics back to the way they were. this is now not the same game that made me buy an Xbox in the first place back in the day. I’m really hoping this was just a mistake and 343 is already working trying to fix it back.
QuietBunny32474 is spot on. I bought an Xbox One solely for the purpose of playing Halo: combat evolved multiplayer and I think it’s safe to say the group I play with did as well. In addition to everything mentioned by my fellow gamers above, I think I can speak for many when I say I want to see the CE playlist changed to 4v4 ranked. The only way to play 4v4 CE right now is on the Team Slayer playlist. This is problematic because other groups are on the Team Slayer playlist to play Halo2 or Halo3. If we get outvoted, we end up quitting out to hopefully find a group willing to play CE. This is annoying for all parties involved. Furthermore, when I first set up my Xbox One CE was still 3v3. It was changed shortly thereafter to 2v2. I was wondering what was 343s reasoning behind this change? Were 3v3 or 4v4 matches too lopsided? I think Ranked matches would have been a better solution to that issue then changing the playlist to 2v2. Afterall, if I wanted to play 2v2 CE I would have busted out my original XBOX instead of going out and buying an XBOX One.
I hope a moderator will weigh in on this because it really makes no sense to change the core weapon of halo 1 unless it was a mistake. i know they were trying to fix the registration of the shotgun and assault rifle according to their update breakdown, but there was no mention of touching the pistol. I actually was very impressed with how well they made the feel of all the weapons like the original halo especially the pistol.
Does anyone have any more information on this?
They updated an original XBOX game?
