Launch trailer looks great... my biggest complaint just from watching trailers so far is that they fucking ruined Cortana. What a bunch of fucking retards.
 
What a pointless release. Halo without mp is not a halo game.
I disagree. CE's MP is a relic and would go down just as well as Goldeneyes did. It would be a waste of time.

The campaign still holds up, the MP does not. Its an unbalanced mess.
 
and then being blackmailed into having to hand over information before we can even play.
As a heads up if you do not agree with the terms of service and they were not presented to you at the time of purchase you can request a refund for the license you purchased from all the major digital stores and physical stores.

While these are hoops to jump through you can get your money back. But if you accept their terms and play the game then you own a licenses to that title that in most cases you cannot get a refund (steam being the obvious outlier here).

Here are the requirements as listed on the PS app. It is very odd to me that they don't list the gamertag requirement thing mentioned earlier in this thread. While I am not going to buy the game I figured this would have made the rounds earlier today and yesterday on social media.

I'm more concerned about it being there to begin with. Why do we have to give our information just to play a game?

I could play the splitscreen multiplayer today in couch co-op, even if it isn't very good by today's standards. I've spent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours playing Halo 1 multiplayer and co-op. Cutting that out is a big mistake for me.

Same. Look I get what you are saying but 99% of folks wouldn't give it more than Ten minutes.

BLOPS 1 & 2's recent releases shows that relics can be exactly what we need.
 
Caved in and got the premium edition for some fucking reason (temporary boredom, mostly).
It's gonna be interesting to see sales numbers on PS5 for this one, feels like it might be somewhat of a deciding factor regarding Xbox's exclusivity strategy going forward even if they've pinky promised on it being "permanent".
 
That 10/10 review that openly says that no multiplayer is a dent in the game is exactly why I can't trust reviews these days. It's just ass kissing at that point with no integrity.
 
Lets be completely real here. youre paying what, near full price for a HALF the game you got in 2001. Gaming is a joke these days.
 
Honestly, an 85 is a bit higher than I expected. The remake looks great, graphics are awesome, but the level design is still 25 years old. If not for game pass, I wouldn't buy this.

Edit: I'm so fucking tired of remakes. I'll play this for a few hours and never touch it again. Probably not even a few hours.

I mean, I remember the original Halo.

The muliplayer sucked. It was local splitscreen only the and pistol/sidearm or whatever you started with was so OP it was unplayable.

Everybody on here saying Halo is multiplayer.

I'm not sure they were playing Halo when it launched. Multiplayer was a novelty addon for that game iirc, and the multiplayer did not become what Halo was about until 2. 2 was huge man. I was in college when it came out and it changed our lives.
