Perhaps the most important facets to discuss would be Halo: CEA‘s multiplayer and network settings. You can also switch between the original or Anniversary sound effects for multiplayer. Still, you may encounter some odd hiccups here and there.

As for the audio, Halo: CEA‘s sounds are a lot crisper now compared to Halo: Reach. Gameplay, audio, and accessibility settingsĪs cited earlier, the gameplay, audio, and accessibility settings haven’t changed since these are applied across the board for all titles in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Now that Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is available for PC, you’ll see a new selection in the controls menu, separate from that of Halo: Reach‘s binds: As usual, click on each image for a larger view. Maybe you feel a little bit nostalgic, and thus you’d want to go that route? You can see the examples below, and please note that I’m using the “enhanced” setting at 4K UHD resolution. You can toggle the game’s visuals to show the remastered graphics versus those from the original classic. It’s a neat idea to have, one that entertained fans when they played this remaster for the Xbox 360 in 2011. Rather than doing graphics comparisons for the different presets, I’ve decided to use Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary‘s built-in “visuals toggle” feature. The “enhanced,” “performance,” and “original” settings are the same ones you’ll see. In any case, if you were disappointed that Halo: Reach only had three graphics presets with no customization options possible, then prepare to feel the same way with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. Then again, you might want to limit your framerates because targeting and bullet spread can be downright janky at times when you go above 60 FPS. Still, if you encounter problems, you can always enable v-sync. One thing I did notice after a couple of hours of playing was that screen tearing during cinematics wasn’t a major issue this time around. That makes sense given that the titles in Halo: The Master Chief Collection would use the same main menu options. The graphics settings in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary are quite similar to those found in Halo: Reach. Take note that the 600 MB patch on Steam and the 6.5 GB update once you start downloading in-game are separate. Likewise, in the career settings menu, you’ll find the options to fully download Halo‘s campaign and multiplayer content. Do note that you still need to have Halo: The Master Chief Collection installed prior to the game getting unlocked. The system requirements come from Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary‘s Steam store page.
