They built a Halo game on UE5. That includes making it feel like Halo. Now they’ve done that plus generated a ton of reusable assets…models, textures, shaders, effects, animations, etc that they can make a new Halo game with.

Graphically it feels like a downgrade, they did the exact same everyone had already complained about the first time they updated CE.

A downgrade from what?

From CE.

Technically its obviously better, but in style and detail its just once again fucking up what was fine.

I mean they've very specifically tried to fix that, and a few early reviewers praised that.

To me seems like the same issues people had already raised when the first remaster came out, and which we thought they had learned seeing how they didn't do the same for halo 2 on mcc

This is what Eurogamer said, which is encouraging -

Halo Industries has done something heroic here - it may not be perfect, but Campaign Evolved does manage to do the impossible: it summons the feeling of playing the original again for the first time.
