Played this in coop via the Master Chief Collection on PC for the first time in ~15 years again. Needless to say, I used the original graphics the entire time 'cause the remade visuals are a good contender for the most soulless graphics in a videogame I've seen in a long time.

Hard to imagine this was the beginning of one of the most important and influental franchises to date. While we had a lot of fun, the lack of weapon and enemy variety and the copy-pasted level design was quite a slog to get through. Still, the gameplay is superb, albeit a bit dated. I am glad to be playing this on the PC with M+KB since this made combat against the Flood (especially those small annoying ones) a lot more tolerable!
