That brings us to our graphics comparison section. Halo 2: Anniversary also has a similar feature found in Halo: CEA, that of toggling between the remastered and original textures (default “Tab” key). The “Enhanced,” “Performance,” and “Original” graphics quality presets are still around, mind you, so there’s very little in the way of customization. The options aren’t quite different from what we’ve seen before given that these are universally present across all content. In my case, I had both campaign and multiplayer selected for installation - I was able to play the former, but the latter didn’t automatically download.īelow, you’ll see the available graphics settings: Oh, and one more thing, make sure that multiplayer is being downloaded after the 20.1 GB installation. Instead, you’ll first need to launch Halo: The Master Chief Collection and start the installation for Halo 2: Anniversary‘s campaign (20.1 GB) and multiplayer components (11.3 GB) from the menu. Just to add, you won’t be able to preload the game. No need to worry because my rig hasn’t changed and I’m still well above the requirements. They’re similar to the ones for Halo: Reach and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary (Halo: CEA), two games which we already featured months ago, since they’re part of the same compendium. The system requirements are from Halo 2: Anniversary‘s Steam store page.
Instead, we’re talking about a different one - Halo 2: Anniversary that’s part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Well, okay, it sort of did back in 2007, but we don’t talk about that port anymore. Halo 2, long considered as one of the greatest games ever made, makes its way to PCs.
