It's no Halo 4, but it'll do.
I like how you put the worst problem with CE in capitals. Not to mention CE had plenty of framerate problems, burred textures and almost non existent physics.Letters said:
I still don't want any company to do a recreation of CE. It's something that needs to be made as a mod in the pc version of Bungie's next game. That way people who actually care about preserving everything will be doing all the work.

Um did we play the same Halo? The original was rock solid. I never once had any slowdown at all in that and I played the hell out of it not only on the Xbox but the PC too.

I was thinking the same exact thing. It never had framerate issues on the original Xbox. On the 360 it had major problems though.

There's a problem if the game is below 60 fps, especially these days with all that HD clarity. One day people will realize this.

Agreed. I love 60fps, but a locked, and I mean truly, absolutely locked 30fps is fine too.PsychoRaven said:

You've a copy of Halo Xbox locked at 30FPS? I'll trade you this gold horse for it.

I never said it was locked did I? I simply said it doesn't drop a shit ton like some are making it out to. To hear some people it runs at 10 fps a lot. Does it dip here and there sure when a ton of shit is going on on screen yes. However under regular play where you won't have a metric ton of enemies on screen fighting it out causing lots of explosions it's damn smooth and rarely drops below 30.
*Edit* You know I think the problem is playstyles. Some like to drag a lot of enemies into an area and fight and some like to kill as they go resulting in fewer enemies in an area.

Now isn't it. God knows that every game has to be 120,000 FPS with every possible effect on.

BUT OMG TASHI. It would play SO MUCH better at 60 FPS.

Locked. Locked at 30. And jaggies that won't poke out my eyes. That's all I ask.PsychoRaven said:

The only sane response.

Ajemsuhgao said:
Yes it really is. 30 fps is more then enough as long as it's smooth as hell. If it can be achieved while adding some improvements then that's all the better.

With PC gaming, it's hard to want to settle with just 30FPS. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll see a Halo FPS on the 360 going higher. There's just so much more to Halo than most other games out there, I wouldn't want to sacrifice features and visuals. The jump from Halo 3 to Reach is amazing from an engine perspective but it's hard to see where they would go next. The 360 has limits and surely Reach is pushing up against them.
And ideal world has Halo at 60FPS without any sacrifices and it just isn't possible at the moment.

Oh I agree. I'd hope they would bring back those physics. I loved playing bumper hogs on Bloodgultch with friends. We'd spend hours just driving around and ramping off each other and into each other in various ways. Some of my best memories without a doubt.

And oddly enough, that's one of two spots where I experience framerate issues. Nowhere else.
ElRenoRaven

Yea. Glacier while cool looking does have some big framerate issues. I really wish Bungie could fix that somehow if they do a title update.

More like, cut out a ton of the shit in the entryway to the lab. There's a ton of tiny objects that aren't far enough away for the LOD models to kick in it seems, so it's rendering those, as well as all the enemies, players, world, etc. :\

IIRC, Halo 1 and 2 still doesn't have every easter egg uncovered. Though, I believe it's been awhile since I read whatever post/article said that.
I doubt Reach (especially with Exodus and New Alexandria) has been fully explored yet. Sure, the huge things (Pelican/Phantom piloting, Reach Raceeeeeeer, etc) have been found, but there's still little things.
I wonder if there's a megg or rex in there somewhere..

Any tips for the Golden Tree challenge today for those that did it? I've been following this page with updates, and just now spent half an hour trying several times to find it in the area mentioned (around Errera's), with no luck.

Well for me I just went down to 175 on elevation and flew around the club. Tons of Banshee's attacked me and eventually it came flying by. It was hard as hell to catch up and kill but you can do it once your full thrust kicks in.
It's really just a waiting game other wise.

Odd, I was on the Northwest side of the club, and just flew around there for a bit. He finally showed up after a few minutes, and flew directly west.

Yea apparently he spawns and flies around the map and doesn't despawn from what I have read. He seems to fly by there every so often too. So that seems to be why that spot is a good waiting spot. It seems that it varies when you see him. For me about 15 to 20 mins is how long I waited.
The way I found him was as soon as I started the level, I just went down to like 25 altitude, and started flying around the city.
After I killed about 35 banshees he finally showed up.
(My friend found it the same way, and also killed around 35 banshees)
I actually had to revert checkpoint like twice because he flew out of the map as soon as i saw him.

I'm looking in theater and he spawned in the map 6:00 in. Spawned around Club Errera and just outside/in front of the building with the Phantom/Pelican switch. Gonna try to hang around there.

The only way to know it's him is that he constantly boosts and will not pay you any attention at all.

Hmm. I wonder what the variance is. I know for others like me he sure didn't spawn that fast.
