Does the game really go back a check point if you die too many times?

Alexis respawned on a high-up ledge while Drew was flying around, with no way to get down without dying. Drew died and spawned next to him, trapping them both. Then the game checkpointed with them trapped there.
i don't think so

If this was a Mac game this wouldn't happen
I think this was implemented in Halo games from Halo 3 (?) and onward. It only happens if you die right after the checkpoint, though. So if you die within 10 seconds (Or something like that) every time you reload the checkpoint the game sees it as you being stuck in a death loop and just goes one checkpoint back.

Second steam is better. Got that Will Smith and Brad action going on.
i wanna watch it but the Drew/Alexis waxing on Halo knowledge is so great

Ugh, the introduction of the flood.
Halo 2 definitely had it, but Halo 1 did not (and Anniversary doesn't either, as far as I know). I'm fairly certain it was Bungie's answer to the Jackal sniper alleys that would checkpoint you right as you were getting spotted.

They just want to play it legit.
I havent boughht the anniversary edition yet, but I wish they had done a collectors edition of it that came with an official wireless duke controller for the 360. Part of the halo 1 experience to me is that goddamn giant controller.

The concept of the flood is fine but actually fighting them has always been the weakest part of the franchise as far as I'm concerned.
The next level is a perfect demonstration of weak level design and uninteresting enemies.

Does anyone know if Halo Anniversary updated the checkpoint/spawn system to that of Halo 2 onwards?
Yes. It takes like ten times in quick succession.
edit: Hmm. I swear I remember Halo 1 having it, but I can't seem to get it to work.

The Flood are responsible for what I feel is the worst level in all the Halo games, Cortana in H3. So they can go fuck off.

I've never played / read / watched anything about the halo stories, so this is all very new to me.

Hmm... so this is how Halo plays. The atmosphere and SFX are really decent.
I've only listened to the soundtracks. The soundtracks are great.

Vehicle health was based on character health right? So no matter how it looked, if you had health the vehicles would not explode, right?
Yeah, except for the Covenant vehicles (which changed to the same system as UNSC vehicles in Halo 2). Shared driver/vehicle health was how it was up until Reach, where the vehicle had a separate health pool. Damage in previous games would transfer to the driver (at a reduced rate).

Alexis has already lost it.
Oh man that pistol. I remember being the first in my group of friends to realize how much better it was than almost any other weapon in multiplayer, which didn't take long of course. Not spawning with a super effective weapon was hard to swallow when Halo 2 launched.

Don't you diss the SMG...
BTB CTF on Coagulation was so painful/amazing at launch because of SMG starts
If you lost map control it was pretty much impossible to get back, but playing the rest of the game with 8 people inside the base was intense.

Listening to the credits for You Don't Know Jack on Casey Malone's stream, really funny
