Right- but this is supposed to be played as a modifier- not how the game is intended to be played.
That being said, the game is perfectly servicable and quite frankly as good as any TPS game (sans cover system) I've played.

Yes it does

Or is it just one of Asha's balls in my throat?
Yep.
Based on my time, it's safe to play with 90*, didn't notice any real difference in performance, but then again I have a VRR display too.
Both the regular and Legendary endings in this one do very heavily imply that Halo 2 CE will be next.

Ive had 4 friends of mine cancel on purchasing this due to these moron youtubers and their clickbait titles and manufactured outrage.
This is why I have uninstalled youtube. Your retarded Edmenion, Synthetic Man, Doctor Disaster etc. Instead of encouraging honest discussion or constructive criticism, they farm outrage for clicks and convince people not to even try games for themselves.
this is coming from someone who despises the left and everything they stand for. This has nothing to do with politics. It's about dishonest content creators poisoning the conversation around games.

These people are literally becoming as bad as the woke cancel mob. They completely blow everything out of proportion. Any small negative automatically makes a game or movie the worst thing ever. Once something gets labeled woke all these people jump on the hate bandwagon like it's a fucking cult. These people are grifters. Shit is retarded.

Looks like PSSR has been downgraded or something with the latest update.
its a shimmering a lot more and lighting looks flatter.
Could be HDR changes.

I had the same feeling while playing the game. I haven't played Halo since Infinite came out and I had a blast with this one.

Looks like the HDR settings were bugged.
A couple of important things I discovered:
Only adjust the HDR settings from the main menu. If you change them while you're in game, they can glitch out, causing the contrast, black levels, and overall image quality to become completely crushed.
I recommend giving these settings a try.
The second thing. after you've adjusted the HDR settings, you need to start a new game. If you continue an existing save, the HDR changes don't seem to apply or save correctly. Starting a new game forces the settings to display properly.

Ragdoll/physics has led to many hilarious moments like this:
Progress tracker says I'm 33%, I'll wait until I'm halfway through for more in-depth thoughts. I'll say overall I'm enjoying it though I definitely have criticisms. Looks amazing on Pro though having the "right" TV probably has a lot to do with it. Newer LG OLED TV's have something called Dynamic Tone Mapping and this single toggle works miracles and pretty much solves all HDR complaints one would usually have with a game with minimal fussing around in the settings.

I have an LG C5 with HGIG enabled using these settings. Give them a try
I have a C5 too, my picture is flawless with Dynamic Tone Mapping which I find far better than HGIG, I've experimented with both.
Edit: and it should go without saying how it looks on YT is NOT how it looks on my TV lol

That was already in the reviews. It was supposed to give you an advantage but not make it a one shot kill. In the original that was unintended.
I've went to the second mission and the grass is not shimmering. Even in movement it's all right.Looks like PSSR has been downgraded or something with the latest update.

The game feels very sterile. And not really much like the original. I wish the cut scenes were in engine. It looks like Halo, but it doesn't sound like Halo. I think the mix is turned down for the music. I have played 2 levels and am over all disappointing with what was built.

Finished it yesterday, rather disappointing remake - which barely qualifies for a remake as they haven't really re-made much.
The game itself is still good but there could've been so many actual improvements to the original which aren't there that at some point you're just starting to feel like you're playing the inferior version - cause of the bugs, the FMVed cutscenes and the general lack of any modernization of gameplay.
And these "bonus missions"? Yeah, having beaten them I wish I'd just avoid them, and MS should've spent whatever resources they've put in them on making the cutscenes of the campaign in-engine instead.

Completed it today. It's not terrible, just pointless. Nothing here meaningfully improves on the original and in most cases the changes are objectively a downgrade. The main issue is the dumbing down of the Elite's combat behaviour, that was the headline feature of Halo and the thing that kept you coming back over and over again to replay the same levels. The enemy AI was so convincing and fun. Here it feels like the Elites had a lobotomy. They either rush you, ignore you or face the wrong way. There are just way too many opportunities to cheese or exploit the AI that you never would've had in the original. There are also way fewer of those "holy shit did you see that?" moments largely due to the AI being more predictable and boring.
I'm just worried that the original Halo recipe has been lost forever now.

I got hit by one on Keyes that was shooting a grunt. Overall I found the rocket flood to be fairly passive when they could easily wreck your shit. They're probably more aggressive on Legendary. I thought it was a nice touch but maybe it was just my playthrough.

Alright, looks like yesterday's patch has fixed the stutters in the pre-rendered video files, they're operating much more smoothly.
Also, not sure if just me but the facial and mo-cap animations in the new 3 missions seem to be a notable step up from the main game. Looks like these were developed later in the cycle with more familiarity on the dev team's part.
It feels like playing Halo 2 style missions in a Halo 1 wrapper.

The game is retarded and not everyone thinks the novelty is worth giving more money to Halo Studios.
Can't blame YouTubers for that. That's just the point people have been brought to because 343 have burned Halo fans for 15 years. Why would they want to subject themselves to more of that shit as if there's not a fire behind that smoke?

Bruhh the fucking pistol in CE is like a mid-range sniper rifle in itself.
Such an overpowered weapon and they start you off with it, lol.
Just the low total ammo pool keeps it down.

You may have legitimate grievances and criticisms towards a game. But these people just use your criticism for monetizations. They all parrot the same talking points and farm content with it. By definition they are grifters. They are incentivized to fuel fires for YouTube views. They aren't video game channels or video game news channels, they are purely culture war slop. Any negative or positive news they give is always with the objective to linking it to anti-woke outrage.

This might be my favorite VR mod of all time. The textures in 3D of the character models and environment are completely blowing my mind. I lifted up my headset to see the VR game mirrored on my desktop monitor and it does NOT do this justice whatsoever. I was aiming the energy sword at a Marine's face and the lighting from the blade was moving across the individual pores on his skin. The icy breath from his mouth looked 3D, misting in my face. But I could barely make any of that out without VR. Its there, just not even close.
The size of the level, Assault on the Control Room, standing in that water with those creatures splashing around near the rocks. The detail, the size and scope of the ring world is just mind blogging to me. I stood there with my bro for nearly an hour us taking turns looking with the headset. This was part of our childhood so its surreal to see it not just upgraded visually, but in high quality 3D and life sized scale. And it plays very well too.
What a time to be alive.
Oh, and the hunters are pretty fucking terrifying in VR. Their size is intimidating as hell.

Just because they make money off it doesn't make it a grift. Nothing they've said is incorrect or shown to be deceptive. At least not in this video that I've seen.
Is it whiny often times? Sure. There's plenty of content farmers for Halo that I can't stand. It just seems like more blame is being put on these YouTubers than the actual game itself and that's ludicrous.
