I agree with the Halo 1 graphical departure ordeal. Halo 1 had such a unique and powerful style.

I feel like Halo 2 tried to go all "GRAPHICS" "DETAILS" "WHOOA" so I think a graphical overhaul will be better for this game. Imagining an Xbox One detailed New Mombasa is already giving me a raging nerdon.
