I highly doubt they will add it unless there is a huge huge push from the community. And even if they did add cross play, most likely there would be a game type or some way to toggle playing cross play off. Oh and your the authority on what people want? You say same old story..... yet there are remakes emasters that do very well. New isn't always better. Look at the crap we have got from AAA game devs in the last few years. Also, adding halo to pc opens halo up to alot of people that don't play xbox. Reach has never been released on pc. They are also selling it at a really reasonable price. So where is the hatred coming from than if there is no cross play? Or is it because another group not part of your super ultra cool fan club (xbox) is getting the games too?

im using not smelly garbage's reshade, because it works online, but it has the same bug as vanilla reshade

My buddy from middle school invited me over to his house one day, and I distinctly remember him taking me to his room and saying something along the lines of, "Take a look at this." It was Halo 2. I had never seen anything like it before, and the only thing I could compare it to was Star Wars at the time. He loaded "The Arbiter", and I just watched in awe as the Prophets spoke to Thel about The Great Journey. You know that feeling when you don't know what you're looking at, so all you can do is just stare in awe? Yep. That was me. 8:30 makes me extremely emotional, because not only does it take me back to the moment I became a Halo fan, but it also describes a moment in time where things were not only simpler, but beautifully so.

I know a very simple way of installing and it requires all files (.inis .dlls and reshade-shaders folder) but editing the reshade.ini file so it reads as "./preset.ini" instead of "c:/halo 2/preset.ini" for all the other required files. It's what I do with my own filters.

correction: halo 3 could go for a HD remaster. None of the actual look of the textures would change but they would be way sharper and more detailed. I’m not sure about redoing the music though, but if they do what they did with halo 2 and kept true to the theme, it should be good.

I'm sure it was slightly better than that

for anyone complaining about AO making polygon too visible: you can go find at the beginning of the AO shader a line that say someting like "AO_SMOOTH_NORMALS" set to 0, set it to 1 in the code and save the changes or add it to your pre-processor definition. hope that helps someone out there

I love what you did with this. This is how I like remasters to be done, retain the art style of the textures and models but update the lighting. Just like the Quake remaster/rerelease.

Dude, thank you for showing off Project Cartographer! Edit: I can remember recommending it to LNG months ago about playing Halo 2 on PC with better settings, controls, ability to play mp easier than on Xbox, etc.

Seeing inside "Sacred Icon", you've done a really good job of making Halo 2 look, not necessarily like Anniversary Halo 2 to me, but it reallllly reminds me of Halo 3, and in my books thats a great thing!

That bit with the borderlands withe the goof off session looked like the juicy filter in halo reach

8:17 this is what halo 3 looked like when I nuked my brain on adderall, weed, and kratom Except the textures were moving and glowing, growing and shrinking, was not a good time

I like how you started to mess with bloom and then talked about light reflection and refraction like they have anything in common. And then proceeds to blow the shit out of the sky.

6:56 Damm the reshade Lookz awesome

One thing that seems really interesting is that once you'd applied the Reshade effects, it really brought out some of the detail on the normal maps. It's especially noticeable at 4:32 and 5:51, where you don't have to squint your eyes to see the details on the SMGs anymore. It really makes me wonder how much better Halo 2 could have been from a graphics and lighting standpoint if they had been given more development time with Halo 2.

Would love to see a let's play or at least a partial let's play with either of the shader settings you used. The borderlands cell shaded style especially!

When I heard the music I looked back in time to the old days seems like yesterday when I played it for the first time...

Wow you did a really good job on this one! You actually improved the look of the game a lot. Some of these shots look just as good as halo 2 anniversary.

That view at the ship over the water with the added effects looked damn good. I'm going to have to fire up Halo 2 again

This vid takes me back to the good halo 3 days

6:08 It kinda looks like Halo 3...Sweet!

dude....... the cartoon filter is amazing

I shoulda left this on the reach video. But during my entire time playing reach I only had this old small plasma tv. And it cracked slightly and had some minor errors on the screen. And I played the hell out of reach on it. The immersion of the cracked screen to the helmet was so nice. Just like your reshade there.

That cartoon filter actually looked pretty good, I think it'd be interesting to see on a light hearted halo game, one with a more comedic tone. Probably a fan game, or silly bonus game mode that would be dlc nowadays...

this legit almost made me cry because of the nostalgia

did not expect how good that cartoon shader was gonna look.

The cartoon filter looks really cool.

Re shade made the fourunners structures look godly

Bro just made the Halo 2 anniversary edition, imagine if you did this but in the Master Chief collection, he'll probably be playing halo + GTA 6

although im baked af, your voice is beautiful

I was just thinking about the ambient occlusion efefct making the smoke from grenades transparent to shadows and other such things. Would you be able to apply this effect to csgo and effectively create almost see-through smoke grenades which the characters will shine through? Or do they work in a different way?

Very interesting take. One thing I disliked so much about Halo 2 was its overal look and feel: graphically and style-wise it felt like a step backward from Halo CE. I wish it had come out a bit more like your version.

9:04 excuse me, sir, but that is Heresy

You can change the order of the effects so that ao won't go though other effects like bloom. Just scroll the effects in the list up or down, because the order in the list makes them affect each other. Also for the ao, change the limit of fade to a smaller distance, like under 200, looks a lot better. Been using reshade for over 2 years, and i can't wait to get a dx12 and vulkan api working version. Btw, in older versions of reshade you can manually change the values over and under the limits of what the main settings would let you, and it won't crash. For example create a bigger limit than 10.000 threshold for the bloom to activate, like 12.000-20.000, even more, depending on the game and then set the limit for the lens dirt from the normal 1.000 to even 25.000, end you get beautiful lens dirt and anamorphic lens flares only on top of actual light sources in the game. Fake HDR helps as well. Reshade is great! I feel sad every time i find a game that it doesn't work on.

My ingame AA is off, and I've set my "Reshade_Depth_Input_Is_Reversed" to 0, yet my AO keeps on flicking back and forth between the geometry and my viewmodel (instead of BOTH being affected like in this video). Here is an example: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZoGjmdWAmL3ckrQ.html

I liked this video just based off the simple fact that I now know what exactly pixels are

I wish that halo 2's engine was more stable, I would love to see a spv3 version of halo 2!

This make me really wonder what’s possible with reshade. I wonder what it would look like if we messed with all the color values (and other qualities) to turn the haloes into a dark and gritty horror game, with blacks, greys, and reds. I’m sure the flood missions would look fearsome.

Okay... Sacred Icon was stunning with ReShade I'm not even gonna lie.

Stuff like Oblivion has made me quite wary of bloom, but Damn Son. That looks fantastic.

Latenight, you should do a video where you fix SPV3's lighting issues and other graphical problems with Reshade! Or even try to bring it all the way back down to Halo 1's graphical quality.
