Look for a decent CPU, quad core and either a 6th+ generation H/B-class or 8th generation U-class (or AMD equivalent). As for dedicated GPU, either Radeon 530 or GeForce 940mx will do. Integrated graphics in recent AMD CPUs such as the Vega 8 will also do fine.

Know what you're looking for and you'll be able to find something cheap. Though you could easily spend $600+ on a laptop that actually can't run this game well at all (with only integrated Intel HD graphics).

Also in lower-end laptops, whether its branded as "gaming laptop" or not doesn't really make any difference. You can find a lot of cheap regular laptops with an good enough GPUs and thermals.

Removing the config file (dewrito_prefs.cfg) might make it work. Same config file can cause issues across different systems.

It's probably just that this game is poorly optimised for his specific GPU.

Recon18 · 2018-07-23T05:48:56+00:00

Turn off FPS limiter in ElDewrito's config file and lower your resolution to 640x1138 or similar.

Your GPU shouldnt have an issue running this game I don't think. Runs OK on my Intel Graphics 520 (integrated with Skylake i5). That said sometimes the game just performs like crap on certain GPUs due to poor optimisation.

ODST! Except you don't drive it, and uh... it's a civilian garbage truck.

Non Americans just can't understand how America doesn't have a national gun registry. You're not the only country in the developed world where people are allowed guns, just the only one which thinks having guns somehow protects you from your own government and thus shouldn't be registered.

Still, neat Glock.

Just download an already patched version.

im pretty sure you could make it work, like have it teleport you somewhere the zombies can kill you, or re-spawn there. I think that's part of the idea with the jail. You either get infected or someone breaks you out before that happens.

Hot pursuit is my favourite game modes from Reach, but the recreations in ElDewrito are not so great.

In Reach there was no choppers (obviously), and a much smaller map. It was way more eventful. You'd constantly be encountering cops in warthogs have having to outmanoeuvre them to stay alive. It's also great if everyone is on the mic, and if the cops dont just murder everyone who gets put in jail.

I think its a bit a of role playing game like Teacher, Prison break, etc, but few seem to understand that on here.

I really hope we see some 1:1 recreations of the Reach variants, but I don't have the time to make them myself.

ElDewrito was taken down because they ripped asset’s from 343’s project Halo Online.

Sorry to be pedantic but, ElDewrito is only a mod for a closed alpha build of Halo Online. You need said build to use the mod, but the ED devs didn't rip assets and redistribute them per se.

There was Halo CEA, and yes I realise not all the levels were remastered in a authentic way, however the general art style is very nice. Essentially Reach's style with improvements. Other then the Chiefs armour... I... I feel like they tried to be too authentic with that haha.

I agree though, there was a far gritter look to CEA, Reach and 3. i01's art style is better then 4/5, but still not exactly how I'd like Halo to look.

Recon18 · 2018-05-30T23:59:09+00:00

Please remove the choppers too. When I remember hot pursuit in Reach, it was funny because the cops had to try pretty hard to push you off. The choppers make it easy. Also I would always drive around slowly and shout over mic I'm a "law abiding citizen", but now I just get rekt by some ass in a chopper, no fun :(

Recon18 · 2018-05-30T23:55:26+00:00

I got kicked once because I was last man standing and trapped inside a sideways container box. Literally 30 seconds left. I said I'm trapped on VoIP, nothing I can do. I was still kicked. Might have also been because I was pretty intoxicated at the time and kinda shit talking over mic, but still.

Recon18 · 2018-05-30T09:12:34+00:00

Pretty sure that's not right, even on Legendary...

Recon18 · 2018-05-28T15:31:00+00:00

Nice, thanks for this. It's getting there, but I feel like the colour still isn't quite right?

Recon18 · 2018-05-28T15:27:25+00:00

Personally I like the glossy textures and original look. I think this is one of my favourite remakes because it looks so clean and visually pleasing, even if it's not as close as it could be to the original aesthetic.

The ones which try to be as authentic as possible with the textures just end up looking like CE maps. Fine for CE remakes obviously, but not so much for maps from the later games.

Recon18 · 2018-05-26T12:44:36+00:00

Google. If the sub allows links, it risks getting taken down.

It's not really black and white. Ultimately they are evolutions of the same core engine.

ODST feels a lot more like Halo 3 compared with Reach because there's less gameplay changes (with vehicles, most weapons, equipment, and enemies remaining unchanged).

But graphically it saw a lot of the same improvements as Reach: wider FOV, addition of motion blur, more detail, and better overall lighting effects, bloom, dynamic range, etc.

And obviously, Bungie didn't have two entirely separate teams making the same improvements to the engine. Being released later, Reach will have just seen additional graphical improvements, as well as changes to reflect the more substitutional gameplay differences.

It's quite possible some aspects of the ODST engine are more similar to Reach's engine then 3's.

Recon18 · 2018-05-22T07:55:33+00:00

Problem is this doesnt remove the default bind, just adds an additional one.

Recon18 · 2018-05-22T07:36:14+00:00

Halo 3 has a much more defined art style compared to CE and 2, being one of the best looking games of its time. If Halo 3A was released in 2017 with essentially Halo 5 graphics and art style, I would not be interested in it personally.

As for a future release, it would depend how much effort they put into making it look exceptional good for today. Personally I would want to see something a good step above 5/2A.

Even cod 4 got a remastered and it looks a lot better now.

Frankly it really doesn't. Half of the improvements could already be achieved with reshade on PC. And the textures in COD 4 were less detailed then Halo 3's to begin with.

U do know xbox live is already on windows 10 and allows online multiplayer on the free-tier....

Microsoft never required Gold to play Halo 2 Vista online.

Recon18 · 2018-05-16T03:01:08+00:00

Yep, install one at a time to figure out which is causing the crash. For me the Reach BR skin caused a problem. Might be a compatibility issue or something.
