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.

: 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:

Right, there's been a PC port of halo 2 for a long time now. I'll get around to getting it... eventually.
