My brief overview on the new Campaign evolved. It's a good time, but doesn't give me faith for Halo Studios going forward.

It works fine on fedora fwiw. There's been some shader bugs but valve have eliminated them very quickly via updates to vkd3d in proton. Several others may be addressed at the umd level depending on tour gfx vendor. Performance is another matter, but I don't imagine it would swing much between windows and linux, though this will also likely depend on your gfx vendor.

I've heard the same; apparently they had to defer to Reach's blam under the hood and take it internal because the studio they contracted this project to sort of ran away with timelines?

Does have you wonder what could have been, but then I'm no fan of UE5, nor the mass consolidation of game engines into unreal.

obligatory fuck Pierre Hintze

Yea the reach blam part is absolutely wild and there are definitely areas you can see an AI trigger mess up or AI in general not knowing exactly what to do. Reloading fix it but yea there's some funky shit going on under the hood.

For fedora, it actually wasn't even graphics I was worried about, it was the stupid sign in bullshit they make you do. What a waste of time.

Yeah, it's astounding how much the overall AI experience has regressed for both the covenant and flood.

That's a very good point, and on that note - the sign in is more seamless than it is for MCC / HI, though it links your MS account with your Steam one.

The MCC is still somewhat broken to this day.

I guess that really should be all we need to know about how much the brand really values Halo.

[-] vikingtons@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

true. still, we have the bungie era games and mod tools relatively well preserved. I don't think they can take that away from us.

truly I think it would be best for the series to end before it can be ridiculed further.

Yea, it at least should go on ice for a while.

Microsoft and Hall studios pretty effectively killed any hype for the series
