This game is special.

It’s clearly not as technically robust as it’s successors but it’s no slouch either. It’s still a solid Halo game with good characters and settings. Many (if not most) of the core elements and themes that make up Halo are debuted in this game. I do however think the Flood is kind of annoying.

Additionally, this game’s historical significance can’t be understated. In 2001, this game not only spearheaded the online FPS boom of 2000s-onward, but it also firmly cemented Xbox as one of the big 3.

As a remaster, this game is good. Being able to toggle between classic and anniversary graphics instantly is very cool.

I suppose it’s also worth mentioning that this game gave us the baddest motherfucker in the galaxy. So that’s pretty cool I guess.
