Is Halo 1 on Steam using the busted old PC port or the OG Xbox code?

Apparently everything is using botched Gearbox Halo 1 code.
Or so that one yt video claims.
Jacob Morris
isn't it using the fucked MCC version like Reach is?
Kayden Cook
I heard they were aware of the botched pc port and were going to fix it
Gabriel Wilson
It's actually worse then the original PC port

Unfortunately it's the fucked-up Gearbox port, since 343 is apparently allergic to effort. Also
>fucked up sound, AGAIN
>random achievements are unlocking, while ones that are supposed to be unlocked aren't doing so
>I even earned a fucking ODST achievement on booting this for the first time today
343 were beyond a mistake

Well we can use the same mods for the original ce port for the mcc port?
Nathan Torres
I just don't get it. I used to mod Halo 1, and applying textures is as simple as googling a render and pasting it into the texture slot, and boom your cliffs suddenly look better. Why can't they just take the gearbox Halo 1 with server browsers and good audio and working spawns, and literally just slap files of the Xbox textures and call it a day? What is the error in this logic? Why did they stick their dicks in the code for no reason other than to mess up the audio rather than just work with what they already had? Why don't remasters ever just WORK WITH WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE? They always fuck the code up somehow

NO

How many people are still playing the original over mcc?
One has superior mods over the other.
Matthew Morgan
There is good remasters such as ICO and Sotc on the PS3 where they literally ripped the files off a game disc/got the source code then tried to make it as accurate to the PS2 versions as they could.
343i has a proven track record of being complete shit. Halo 4 was shit, Spartan Assault was Shit, Spartan Strike was Shit, Halo 5 was shit and the original releases of the MCC was also completely fucking awful. Expecting them to release a good product is absolute lunacy
Hunter Harris
most the maps are crap. i cant wait for halo 2
James Moore
Didn't they lose the original Xbox code or something?
Adam Morgan
No, pc still can't run it as well as a 10+ year old console
Thomas Jones
The issue isn't the textures, it's the use of particular effects (especially distance fog) and things like bump and specular maps which were highly specific to the Xbox version and flat out don't on PC at all, they would all need to be recreated and re-implemented from scratch.
Samuel Scott
It's more likely that the port was done from an unfinished beta.

>Didn't they lose the original Xbox code or something?
No. Halo CEA is built on Halo PC and if they wanted to fix everything, they would have to start over from 0
Jaxson Jackson
Next you're going to say PC is irrelevant and post ps4game.webm

>just have to readd some small ass details that modders for example did
>dude they need to start from scratch lmao
Jordan Fisher
The Refined Team's work can't fix the broken bump mapping and things like bump and specular maps which were highly specific to the Xbox version and flat out don't on PC at all, they would all need to be recreated and re-implemented from scratch.
Adam Price
They even said in a halo waypoint blog they'll readd them

Gearbox pc port > anniversary > MCC XBONE > MCC PC
That's the signal chain.
Nathaniel Smith
Halo CE on MCCPC is a port of Halo CE Anniversary from MCC on Xbone, which was a port of Halo CE Anniversary for the Xbox 360, which used Halo CE PC by Gearbox as a base.
The only way you will EVER play the REAL Halo CE the way it was meant to be played is by using an original xbox disc on an original xbox.
Isaac Sanchez
You can hack your Xbox and pirate it, so you don't have to use an original disc.
>EVER
nah, emulation will work eventually
Carson Wright
Halo 2 is fucked on MCC too, it's the Vista version.
Ryder Taylor

It already does.
Jason Torres
whats wrong with it.
Joseph Mitchell
They just keep making all the wrong decisions don't they? How they even manage to run their own company I have no idea
Josiah Torres

Halo Xbox > Halo PC with Refined > Halo PC vanilla = CEA classic
Michael Martin
>port a port of a port of a port based on pre-release beta code
OR
>port the original finished game
gee I wonder which will be a compilation of errors on top of errors that will forever taint a masterpiece?
