After playing a little bit of Reach on PC, I was starting to think I didn't care for Halo anymore. Once I tried the Halo CE Anniversary my worries were quickly put to rest. I truly missed this game, and the PC port of it is surprisingly much better than the Reach port was at launch. Sure it still has some wacky bugs, but it just feels much more playable and better looking in every way. I've been mostly impressed with the visual upgrade so far. Aside from the odd looking dithering on character models and the lack of AA it looks great. Cutscenes do still have the bad frame pacing from Reach unfortunately, so they look very rough in motion. Gameplay looks super smooth and great at 144hz though, far smoother than Reach does.
The only bugs I've experienced so far is the Steam achievement bugs where I got the Truth and Reconciliation achievement after finishing the first level, I really should have got the Pillar of Autumn achievement. I read that some people are getting ODST achievements. I've also experienced odd music playback, where the music track either overlaps with another or the wrong track is playing in the current level. The only sound bug I've come across is the Plasma Pistol spamming plays the charging sound. I haven't played any multiplayer yet, only single player. How has your experience been? Better than Reach for you? Worse?
