Is there a summary? Are his problems technical or something else?
What I did think during the reveal - even the Sony hosted trailer - was that it gave major boomer shooter vibes because the talking head segments were all old guys reminiscing - that's not gonna hype anyone for game that is supposed to be an action sci fi shooter. I don't think that's the way to market this to a new audience on new platforms. Let the game do the talking for itself.
For PS players worldwide, it's no good trading on memories of playing Halo, because they didn't play Halo.

Usually like his videos and it's a great channel, but I don't agree with a single point he makes here.

He has the most plain white bread talking points. You can guess what he'll say and I promise you you'll be 90% on the mark.

He was very detailed and shared other youtubers reviews and original creators comments about things being changed, on the top of my head :
Blood has returned and no Halo should be PG-13, which is good
Excited about 343 adding things that were data mined by modders for years, IF they decide to expand it correctly
Very critical about the Sprint, the areas are supposed to be taken in, sights needs to be behold. Sprint might ruin enemy encounters like Flood who zerg rush you.
The AI feels very broken with no dodge rolls, enemies do not dodge from gun shots or vehicle onslaught, and maybe are generally slower than original.
Vehicle feels too accurate which makes many sections trivial to play.
How some gun "feels", the sound and ammo changes that might ruin the experience if not done right
oh and the reticle now turns red even over invisible enemies which makes their presence useless as a surprise.
In summary, 343 do not know how to make a good game.

Exactly, and they consume games through walkthroughs that should've never happened and must be purchased instead.

Same reason you, and everybody else here, clicked this thread when reading the title.
We're all like flies circling around piles of crap wondering if there might be something tasty inside.
I don't even like Halo much, and here I am, sitting on a chair, feet up on another chair, back to the desk with a 5090 PC, screen turned off. Why? No idea. I actually have some free time right now. And this is how I'm using it?…

What i want to know is why do developers listen to these types of weiner youtubers...
All the shit in modern fps titles come from focus testing with losers like this.
Its chops like this that resulted in marathon and what destiny2 two has become

If
Bernkastel
ever plays the Halo remake on any system after how much crying he's done, I vote that it results in an immediate permanent ban. Not even a demo.

I won't play anything from 343i anyway. Only way I will play Halo is if Microsoft sells the IP to a competent studio after 343i's upcoming projects keep bombing.If

I have no intent on playing it. I've played it so many times over the years with original and master chief edition that I don't feel a need to spend money and play it again. I'm selective with remakes. Silent Hill 2 was solid and so long after the fact, I'm good with that. Halo and Last of Us I don't need multiple iterations of. I'm good.

While I have my serious problems with Halo CE remake, grifters like Act Man is not the source I would ever use to draw any sort of constructive criticism.

He makes valid points. The enemy ai needs to be looked at. The elites dodging attacks is something I still remember from my CE play through.

It's the truth. We can pretend it's some other reason we click the thread or watch the video but these social media personas know exactly how to get us to fall into their trap.
But I logged off and played 2 hours of The Outer Worlds 2 between these posts. No clicks from me. I win.

Who is this and why should anybody care what their opinion is?
I mean what exactly is there to like about people seeking attention? Half of them act retarded.

I'm "very worried" about this low quality click bait.
While I would agree that Act Man has definitely gotten worse over the years (I used to watch his videos but barely watch nowadays) reading the posts in this thread makes me think that the majority of people didn't watch the video AND don't understand Halo at all because outside of his complaint about the way the warthog handles every single thing he says is a valid piece of criticism.
It's so surprising to see the amount of people defending this lazy ass remake especially on this website considering how fucking negative this place is 24/7 and how completely unnecessary this remake is and poorly made nearly everything about it is.
- Let's start with the dipshits that don't understand why people criticize the sprint. It's not that sprint can't be put into a new Halo game and I'm all for a new Halo game having sprint but this is a remake of a game that was not designed around sprint and it's obvious (things he points out in his video if people would bother to actually watch things before criticizing them) that sprint breaks certain things like enemy encounters and stuff like music stings. The encounter with the cloaked elites is painfully obvious that he forgets that it's even a thing until the fucking reticle turns red (which is a fucking problem in of itself because that defeats the whole purpose of them being fucking cloaked which is just another example of 343/Halo studios being fucking lazy dogshit devs that can't design a game to save their lives without handholding). The fact that they let you toggle it off also just tells that me that they are just lazy and are simply appeasing people because they don't want to stick to something. They aren't good enough at what they do to choose something and tell you why it's better one way or another.
- I noticed this during the initial reveal and Act Man points it out but the combination of the dogshit enemy AI with elites just standing there versus actually dodging out of the way and everything they did before and the fact they feel the need to just give you hit markers versus the old way of giving you visible indicators like their shields glowing is also just lazy design despite Bungie doing it 25 years before on much much weaker hardware.
- They just keep making changes for the sake of changes like the fucking ammo. 343 are masters at making changes for no fucking reason at all when it makes absolutely no sense at all. How do any of these changes actually make anything better? I bet 343/Halo studios couldn't convince you in the slightest
- Do we even need to mention Unreal Engine 5? Dogshit low resolution, terrible pop in, horrendous vegetation, stutter, plenty of people complaining about frame rate that actually played it in person.
But yeah it's just a fucking click bait video. The only thing clickbait about the video is the title.
Act Man is a pretty big YouTuber who got his start from Halo related content IIRC. According to this very video he's just under 2M subscribers. He's not just some random YouTuber is what I'm getting at I guess.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
It'll probably be pretty mediocre, but the original still exists, so... just play that.
I'm not going to watch the clickbait video, I'm just responding to what it probably whines about. Don't act like you haven't done that before.

Halo CEA was halo ce with 4's art style
Halo CaE looks like ce with infinite's art style
That alone already makes this better than CEA.
But I'll reserve judgement when we see more.
Though my favorite part of CE was the Flood and they've already confirmed we're getting pure forms this time around so I'm excited for what other changes we're getting with the Flood.

That campaign ain't worth launching in the year of our lord 2026 without faithful Halo 1 multiplayer.
The Halo overlords have denied us a bespoke Halo 1 multiplayer remake time and again. I did absurd shit to play that online in 2002. It would have a slow burn audience and a splash with the PlayStation community.
Honestly I can't be more mad. Even if the next live service multi is a modern perfect halo experience, I will still be pissed forever.
Halo 1 mp fans built Xbox and stayed true, we upgraded to fast internet and subscribed to live for Mechwarrior and Rainbowsix. As far as I'm concerned, Halo 2 players are fair weather folks on pc or PS by now.
Again, fuck the studio, Xbox, and Halo as a live service strategy ruining things.
