I still remember how crazy it was you could walk up to a rock texture and it not be a N64 style blur. Xbox stretched it's big power edge over other consoles here. Landing on the beach and storming it in that one level, the scale was unheard. The alien Vistas.that you could free roam. basically popularized the most popular genre, FPS, on console in a big way for the first time. So many things it at least brought to the console mainstream. for those who didn't play the game, imagine spending hours and hours roaming around in places that look all exactly like this:įor the time it was freaking amazing. i was legit getting nausea from turning around in the same labyrinthic purple as shit corridors. Like bruh I know the good part of Halo is in 2 and 3 according to what people told me but I wasn't expecting to play such a turd. And now they've introduced the Flood enemies and it's even more awful, there's now a shit ton of very small enemies that I have to waste my precious shotgun ammo on. I liked 'The Halo' mission in the open ended area and the one that's on the beach (might be the same one) but right now I've done two missions back to back (so like, 20% of the game) that were just going through the same corridors with the same look beating up the same enemies for what felt like an eternity.

I've done the first seven missions and I feel like I've played through the exact same corridors from start to finish. I'm now going through Halo CE and I know there's a decade between the games and I know it's the first in the series but holy shit it's BAD, like 3/10 level of bad. Pretty fine game, particularly the last few missions. Setting aside all the awful technical difficulties of the port, I still managed to play Reach in coop in its entirety. I'm currently discovering Halo games with the MCC rollout on PC.
