	In Response To: Re: Eternal X Tour of Duty Chapter 5 Stage 1 (Lion O Cyborg) : I miss the RPG too, though the Wave Motion Cannon/Portable Halo does make up : for it somewhat, being able to one-shot Jugs. For me, 1.2 was also less : fun to replay in some levels but more fun in others as it was more seeing : what changes from 1.1 & 1.03 I liked and which I didn't. Some of the : musical changes were bad such as both Freedom in Map 13 and something else : in We Met Once in the Garden replacing Rushing. Fatman in Run Coward was a : good music swap however as the song's chaotic tone (especially the : original MIDI) fits that map perfectly. : Other good changes were the conveyor belt physics, Lia's rain/snow etc. : scripts, partial vacuum the few times it's not used to screw over the : player, a lot of the terrain changes (except getting rid of the Jell-O : hell glitch in Third Rock From Lh'owon) and the HD textures. : The rain in the later builds on the Pfhor colony world in Chapter 2 is purple : now as well, referencing a 1984 film. : : : : On a side note, before you start your Halo 2 writeups, I do recommend : checking out the SPV3 ones I did if you aren't afraid of spoilers : (starting with the primer that covers the prequel books leading up to Halo : 1 in chronological order, for better context than I gave when I commmented : on your Halo 1 PC ones). It's a lot less ficcy than my share of Eternal's : Tour too though it doesn't get away completely unscathed. That's mostly : toward the end however and it's nothing than some silly text or image : sketches comparing an old TV show's (third) pilot movie I like to Halo 1. : I've got a link to every part on the Pfhorums: : https://www.pfhorums.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=54125 : Another important thing to bear in mind: Don't play Halo 2 on the harder : difficulties for the first time. Seriously, it's way harder than Halo 1. : I did recently beat it on Legendary via Project Cartographer, and I'm : going to do it on Halo 2 Anniversary as well on PC, but in both cases I : was using a patch to make Legendary in Halo 2 not suck. Even then it was : no cakewalk, just beatable. : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wbS__bcOHE1e7LusFFONMaUa932RDYMD/view : There's a separate one for Halo 2A on MCC too: : https://www.nexusmods.com/halothemasterchiefcollection/mods/362 : Another thing is that the Warthog run restoration I've mentioned in the past : I learned after I posted about it here before was that it actually : replaces the High Charity level completely as opposed to just the end map : chunk of that level, so covering it would require doing the normal level : first, installing the mod after backing up the original level file, and : then switching it back afterward. : The worst part other than it replacing the entire level is that it's not : compatible with the Rebalanced Legendary mod. : Check it out: : https://www.xboxchaos.com/topic/5333-halo-2-warthog-run-restored/ Right, there's been a PC port of halo 2 for a long time now. I'll get around to getting it... eventually.
