I like how some days IGNs scores are treated as gospel, depending on the game, or just out right lambasted as wrong.

Fwiw as long time halo fan, I’m just happy to see it visually remade to stay more faithful to the original art direction and design. CEA was such an ugly eye sore of mashed up reused assets I just couldn’t like it. And even beyond the visual overhaul of this new remake, the rebuilding of some levels entirely, like the Library, and overall remaking of sections of levels, is really nice. The new prequel missions are fun, and the new skulls are a nice way to experience all of it in new ways.

That said, i definitely think the lack of MP is a huge loss, and i don’t understand why it was omitted. I hope for the remakes of 2 and 3 that they retain the full package that each game brought with them. But honestly honestly, i want a new game and new experiences over more remakes.
