Honestly I think I prefer the look of the old graphics... It doesn't have all the bells and whistles and it's definitely more ominous and dreary. I'm ignorant to the performance stuff but regardless I've been constantly switching back and forth because I can't make up my mind.

as I already said, I stopped playing halo 1 and 2 with new graphics. crushed blacks, in halo 1 the sun rays are gone..no. I'll stay with the old stuff except for the cgi sequences from halo 2.

Anyone else have an absurdly long loading screen after playing a game. Kinda sucks to have to restart the game after every match...
 
I'm going through CEA right now.

I'm up the to the Silent Cartographer.

I haven't played through this campaign in many years but it is still just as amazing as I remember.

This game is just so fun to play.

The updated graphics are nice as well. I didn't play this on the 360.

I did notice a bit of screen tearing and some fps drops but so far it hasn't been frequent enough to really bother me.
 
I got into a Team Slayer game and it turned it into a 1v1v1v1v1v1 game of multi-team. Wow.

First time through halo campaigns. Up to truth and reconciliation mission and game is pretty solid so far. It's darn beautiful for a 14 yr old game though, even when switching to original version. I actually kind of like how dark that version is without the added light. Can't wait to go through my halo marathon!

Waiting on 15gb update...

Away through to Glasgow tomorrow for Kylie Minogue (father won them at an auction for my partner) and then Falkirk seeing in laws at weekend ill have Thursday to play this game...

Wish it was two discs, seeing friends playing it is unfair!

Microsoft you have spoiled us these last couple of months!

In the exact same position here, halfway through Silent Cartographer. I'm amazed at how well the gameplay has held up since 2001, still feels damned good. Occasionally press the left stick in an attempt to run and get caught out anew that I don't. So good to have the gameplay, gunplay and killer gun sounds married to a plot I actually care about. And the music! Think I might look like a middle aged Beavis & Butthead whenever the main theme kicks in.

Washing the taste of Destiny right away this is!

Utterly stoked to finish the CE:A campaign and start 2. Might even brew up some good coffee and try the Nightfall episode.

Sympathies for all having installation, patching & matchmaking issues though. 4 hours to install and patch here and that was on a 40Mb/s fibre connection.

And why would I want them?
Anyone noticing any MM improvements at all? I really hope tonight goes better than last night as far as MP goes. Id also like to play a game with even teams instead of this 4v3 or 3v2 bullshit.

Slight improvement

But still nowhere where it needs to be
 
All playlists seem to work apart from H2A.

Also what is the deal with only one ranked playlist at launch?

This is a horrible horrible first day with the game. Add that on to the fact most people playing the game are either completely pathetic or really good. This is leading to highly unbalanced teams right now, I can't wait till people get to their respective skill ratings so I don't have complete headless chickens on my team.

Matchmaking however is more broken in the respect in never ever matches up even teams. For a game that is a system seller it is all pretty embarrassing.

All of the negatives aside, loving playing Halo 2 again and shows just how damn good it was to stand the test of time.
