Wasted atmosphere of 343 Guilty Spark

Games Other Halo
1

Hi,

I saw an extract of the mission which is my preferred: 343 Guilty Spark. I find the HD version very successful, but there is something is wrong. The dark and glaucous atmosphere of the CE 2001 is not any more there. The level is too bright. Would not it be possible to change it before the release of the game ? I think that many fans of Halo will agree.

Sorry for the spelling I am French and I try to make best use of a translator. :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought the same idea, it’s annoying. :S
J’ai pensé la même idée, il m’ennuie.

Odds are that an update like that is practically 0 but you can hope for it if you want

I disagree with you, OP. I like the way the new level looks. It is still foggy when you come out of the building, just not when you go in.

But the new scenery does add a different atmosphere. IMO a better one.

The only reason for the heavy fog in the original was to hide the detail and make the fact that there were only a few enemies shooting you. It was a design choice based on graphical restrictions of the time.

I personally like the new look. It’s far more alien than before. However, do not fret, for the final version of the level has more fog than in the preview vids. No CE levels, mind you, but close.

Anniversary’s interpretation looks beautiful, and still retains a lot of atmosphere.

It was the sound that made the atmosphere scary. As long as those sounds are retained, Anniversary 343 Guilty Spark should do well. Imo, it looks exotic. I’m hoping to feel like I’m being followed by the Predator himself! Somebody’s watching me! :o

Maybe a bit darker but, I’m fine with it.
