I have spent so much time looking for skulls and ain’t found shit so far.
I did find a random button when you first emerge on Zeta though. Pushed it and it turned power to a turret off but nothing else.
Gonna need a second play through to get everything.
The sound design is incredible. I’m using the wireless Xbox headset and it’s punchy as fuck. Still the best headshot sound in any game ever.
The second level just felt like Halo CE on steroids, some great nostalgia there.
Mission 2 spoiler:
The part with holograms of child Spartans and “olly oxen free” a great nod back to the Fall of Reach book. Fucking gossbumps. Also the recreation of Chief’s first meeting with Cortana 
This is the ultimate Halo game so far.

Oh and the Grunt dialogue is fucking brilliant!
Grunt: “You and me, Spartan. A battle for the ages”.
Me: Whacks grunt in the face with a needler

Second upgrade makes the cool down 40% fasterOk this thing run much worse than the multy part on my pc, and i'm still in the introduction with an indoor environment, can't even imagine how this thing run with hell on screen in the outdoor.
I think i'm gonna wait some patches, playing halo with shitty performance is a sin against humanity.
This thing running worse than games that look much better is pretty bad, not gonna lie.
P.s. i was right, the pilot is an annoying cunt
P.p.s. the grappling hook was a lot of fun to use, but please tell me that you can upgrade the speed of it...
P.p.p.s. windows store continue to be the trashest store around bar none, and why the fuck do i need an xbox app to play on pc?

This game is just so wonderful to play. 343 nailed the AI and gunplay and the sound is something else

I honestly had tears in my eyes when the *that* music played for the first time after boarding the ship.
It was in a really weird place. I'll get it on my second playthrough. The campaign is just too good.

I am a bit confused at this.
Played a bit last night (not on the halo yet)
The visuals are very underwhelming, im not sure if its just down to my settings though.
Playing on LG C9 65"
Would anyone who has a similar set up be kind enough to post their settings if they are seeing great results?
Currently it really does look like an upscaled XBONE game.

Alright children,
Asking if anyone has some settings for the TV/XSX that may get more out of the games visuals.

I’m playing on a 65 C1 with Dolby Vision and it looks stunning. Cinematics are washed out at times but the environments are sharp, proper black blocks and great HDR. Very impressed so far.

Game looks great.
I think 343 has nailed open world, I find it so fun just deciding where I want to go my way using the grapple hook, nothing becomes a barrier on reaching objectives and it looks great aswell.
I feel they are saving the biomes over the 10 year plan and adding them in as expansions etc.
Enjoying the game though fair play to 343 the MP is fun as fuck and the campaign is challenging and fun so far.

Yeah, it's strange to see people perfectly ok with that when they usually hate gaas situations...

That may be the issue, I followed HDTV tests YouTube settings for LG C1 but on the C9 key difference I haven't tried with DV. May make a big difference

Everyone's gangsta until a monkey appear...Oh man the fully powered up grapple is awesome.
Flintty

Maybe. I’m a bit of a noob with it all but I get the impression that DV handles all the settings to how the creator intended. The only other change I made was reduced sharpness to zero, I think.

Well, there is still only one biome. I will miss the snow, jungle and desert as well as covenant ships (not banished)

I hope 343 go crazy with new content and world events, changing the world around us. Kinda like the Fortnite stuff but not shit.

Nah the game just doesn't look very good, especially on the textures side of affair in the open world (especially the natural environment). Its way way better in interiors but nothing to write home about

I think if it was done in a pre-meditated way purely for profit, that would be one thing. But it sounds like they legitimately failed to make it correctly, or on time. They had to cut content that they invested time into to even make it out the door a year later. Then, after the fact - if they can use stuff they already spent some time on, then that just seems logical. We'd have to see what it costs, or if its a free update before getting mad about the monetization.

I used the df settings but the game run like crap on a 2070super\8600k at 1440p, i thought it was something on my end but then i readed the 5 pages performance topic on reeee and 95% of people is having crap performance all around, people with a 3070 can't play at rock solid 60 at 1080p, but in general performances are all over the place, some people are getting good results with a 1070
I'm gonna try lower something or to play with v-sync\frame limiter options but i think the wise choice is to wait for some patches.
Between the store on pc\xbox app being absolutely terrible and these performances, M really shitted the bed on pc with this one...
It is strange because the multy part was okay for the most part (not for everyone tho so i guess i was lucky)
I bet that the steam version runs a bit better...

there's literally a bunch of screens above showing how poor it looks after a short distance, and you just need to look at the mountains to confirm that with your own eyes
