Heroic's definitely the way to play it (and the rest of the games, really). Halo 1 is a fairly easy game, all told, you shouldn't have too much difficulty with the majority of the game.
I don't know that I'd go that far. You don't get a feel for how other players behave, but you do get a sense of how your movement works in the world and an introduction to the weapon niches. Heck, I played 2 years of nothing but Halo CE Campaign and it made me a good player online immediately because I knew exactly how the game felt, if not specific mechanics.
I really wish that Halo devs would tutorialize people better and prepare them for what multiplayer actually is, not just their ideal 'every part of the sandbox is perfectly balanced' vision. Halo has gotten so much more complex since that first game, I don't think that a five or six hour campaign is enough to actually teach a brand new player what they need to know in this brave new trueskill-less world. Have a training section there similar to how modern fighting games do, at least the ones that do it right, that teach new players what the use cases are for each weapon. Now it's basically an old Street Fighter machine with all the art worn off, new players come in and just do the equivalent of button mashing by AR rushing. Have a popup during the training mode that explains what weapons are considered to be utility weapons and why you should be picking them up and trying to be better with them. Also, for the love of Pete, explain how gametypes work. The number of randoms I've seen that don't know how Stockpile works is hilarious. Don't make any of it mandatory, just explain mechanics and give them context.
Nah, I saw it.You missed last page

Wait, another one?
Apparently some sort of MMO specifically for Asia.
Which is silly, because Call of Duty can't compete with all the knockoffs of it that probably sell billions over there.
Call of Duty online, focused on Asian markets.
Not for release in the states...At least for now. If it finds any success, I guarantee it'll come overseas.

Good Games guys, it's like 1 in the morning though, time for sleep.
Cool heroic it is then. I'm playing Gears of War 1 on Hardcore at the moment, so i will play it after than. I think i have 2 or 3 more acts to go in that.
This is what i meant. I don't know what the weapons do and don't understand alot of the movement mechanics in Halo yet. Also aiming from the hip on a console game takes abit of getting used to.

Holy shit, wait. Is that in-engine picture completely native or does it have post-processing/post-photo manipulation? If the former, daaaaaamn.
fucking wow
Man, things must have been pretty rough after WolfGAF's mediocre performance in "The Grey"
Both. Now-a-days Cryengine can do a lot in the way of post processing in real-time.
He's not manipulating the photo as in compositing real life photos into the scene though, if thats what your asking.

Yeah, I was mostly asking about some of the things like the reflections and that "frosty" effect some of the lights are giving off. Crazy!

That's a feature from last year, Screen Space Local Reflections. It really sells the metal materials.
