I think some more textures on basic xbox would make the game look a bit more polished. maybe going down to 720 or 900p on the normal xbox one can help to come cloeser to a medium setting instead of a low?
I might come off as a hardcore fanboy, but i literally grew up playing Halo in a place where everyone hates video game because it comes in a way of your studies or if you get sick or have some behavior pattern problem it is all because of videogames. Your usual stereotypes where Parents basically blame everything on PC and videogames.
I was still only 6 years old, we used to have this very old PC with a Pentium CPU and no GPU, only dad was allowed to use it for accounting purpose and once in a blue moon when all planets are aligned together he would allow me to play games on his PC, and i loved playing House Of The Dead on it with my cousin, then one day i bought Halo from a local shop (Yes, it was a pirate because no one knew about internet and i didn't know where to even buy an original or will i even get one with my 5rs=0.075 US Dollar pocket money). Anyway, i instantly got hooked by looking at the cover (http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/26186-halo-combat-evolved-windows-other.jpg), it looked like some futuristic astronaut guy and his crew (in the background) is trapped on a planet fighting bad guys.
So i started playing it after begging my dad to install it, but i wasn't impressed by the game at all because it was too complicated, i remember being stuck on the tutorial section where you have to aim at the yellow light, but my English was poor and i could only understand simple words so i could never understand what that guy was telling me to do, i was so frustrated and worried that my dad would beat my shit if he comes to know that i wasted my pocket money and his time and i couldn't even return the game (A little background, i was 6 years old and only played simple games like House of The Dead and midtown madness, nothing like Halo which felt like playing a complex simulator for my 6 year old brain)
Anyway, after many trails and error i finally manage to complete it. The reason i was stuck because half way through the aiming section the game automatically changes the aiming controls to inverted which was really a pain in the arse, after following the dude to meet captain keyes, i remembering being blown away by the graphics and the gameplay because it was something that i have never seen before, then it was just a smooth ride till the end of the game, the reason why i loved Halo so much, its mainly due to the soundtracks, it really felt like being in a movie and playing it. I absolutely loved the OSTs in the game, i remember playing warthog run again and again just to hear that soundtrack again.
After i was completely done playing Halo which took me about a year because i was only allowed to play it during holidays for an hour, i kept on hoping for a Sequel and to my shock it was almost 2 years later when i came to know about internet and everything that i realized from a local cafe that Halo 2 was already out in 2004 when i just started playing Halo 1, but it was only on Xbox. I got really depressed because i really really wanted to play Halo 2 no matter what, but no one sold Xbox here nor anyone knew what is even that neither we had amazon or ebay who would ship to India, so the only thing i could do like most of the Indians is go to temple and praying to release Halo 2 on PC too and to my surprise, Halo 2 did launch on PC in 2007 but only on windows vista, and i just recently upgraded my PC from 98 to windowsXP, so i was stuck again and didn't know where would i even get windows vista since it was still new in the market it would at least take months if not year for me get to my hand on a pirate copy of a windows vista, but to my luck Halo 2 with WindowXP patch was already out on the internet, but i didn't know how to or where to download. So, i asked the cafe guy and handed him over some 30rs and told him to download the game for me and he did and put in the blank CD i had with me with youtube tutorial in it. I went home after 2 hours, the game was finally running but lagging like hell, but just simply being able to play halo 2 finally after so many years was just more than enough.
And from here on, it was just downfall in my life. My family was going through some severe poverty and Halo 3 was also announced and already came on Xbox 360 yet again no news for PC, i started my usual ritual of going to the temple and asking from god to release Halo 3 on PC, but hours turned into days and days turned into years, but no sign of Halo 3 on sight except clickbait and fake articles who would kept on hinting Halo 3 PC port. During this time, consoles were getting a lot popular in India, many of my friends owned PS2 but none of them had Xbox.
-Then in 2010, i finally lost my patience and really wanted to buy Halo 3. I mean why wouldn't you? Halo 2 ended on such a high note and being able to endure that massive cliffhanger was enough to drove me insane during my teen years. I kept begging my parents again and again for a console, i even tried to study harder and get better marks that i never achieved before so that father could become proud and happy and buy me a xbox 360, but it was so freaking costly almost 20,000rs which is hella lot, i could have upgraded my PC in that price, but i knew Halo 3 was never gonna come on PC anymore because all sorts of news for Xbox 720 was popping up everywhere and it was already too late for Halo 3 to come on PC. I was sad and depressed and most of all hated Microsoft for not giving me Halo 3, i knew what microsoft was trying to do they released Halo 2 on PC with a cliffhanger ending so that people would buy their new console for Halo 3 just like how they released GoW 1 to test the waters and released later parts only on Xbox 360, but it was like blaming Sony for not releasing God Of War on PC. Anyway, i would always end up getting tears whenever i saw that tagline "Finish the fight" and i thought everyone finished their fight where everyone was leaving me behind alone. At one point, i got so desperate that i downloaded so many fake emulators from the cafe, hoping that one of them might run Halo 3 (Yes, i had already bought pirate dvd for Halo 3 even though i didn't have the console just to feel somewhat of a satisfaction from looking at the details from the back cover and pictures or that i at least own the game)
But i never blamed my parents, i know they also wanted me to get xbox, but they couldn't. So i decided to collect every little penny i could from lunch money, not wasting any on the snacks or the movies or in parties or in any outgoing, every little penny i could save would go towards the new console, then during 2011 when Halo 4 was announced my mother got really sick and i lost all the hope and motivation, i mean it didn't look good from a moral point of view that my mother is sick and here as an unfilial son who is collecting money for a game console. I gave whatever i saved to my father and did what i didn't want to do from many years was to watch all the cut-scenes on youtube of Halo 3 and i was chocking on my tears because of the ending.
P.S:- This is my love letter to the SPV3 and Halo online community, i am really grateful from the bottom of my heart to you guys for trying to bring Halo experience to the PC. I am sure i might not be the only person who wasn't able to finish the fight from 2007, but you devs. are doing god's work, thank you.
It first happened just a few minutes after getting the TV set up, plugging in an Apple TV and hitting up Netlfix. About 5 minutes into a movie, I noticed what I call a blip, video was fine, but audio cut out for a split second. A couple minutes later, it did it again. I know when I first got my XBOX 360 I had to unplug and plug the HDMI to get the audio to work right, so I didn't think anything of it, unplugged the AppleTV from TV, plugged it back in, and it did fine for probably another 45 minutes. So I tried just pausing it, thinking it was maybe like a mini-buffering type issue. Again, no blips for 45 minutes to an hour, but later trials on a different TV show it wasn't an internet issue. Did reset on sound options from menu, good for an hour or so. TV is currently unplugged and I'm going to give it another shot in the morning because I don't think I can stay awake to pay attention for another hour tonight, but I'd like to know if anyone has any advice, or if it sounds like I just have a bad unit. Sadly didn't have any other HDMI devices around to test on, and forums are clogged up with non-TV Samsung devices, and worse issues, like audio cutting out indefinitely unless they change channels and stuff. I tried to look at reviews before getting a TV to avoid issues like this, but practically everyone that has a problem will review negatively, but many people that love the product won't review at all, and it just made the whole process feel so defeatist.
edit: I'm not going to say that it's solved, but I think the issue was not the TV, but either the Apple TV (which is an older model and may not be able to handle streaming to 1080p, the other TV that it worked great with was 720) OR it could have been a cheap HDMI cord. There were no blips when I watched Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, which I believe tops out at 720p on Netflix, and I have not had any issues at all on my PS4.
