Will this be Day 1 Digital and will it have the Halo 5 Beta?

if it isn't it wont stop me from buying but it would definitely be a plus if i could cop this beast digitally.

Every XB1 game (Except Skylanders) had been Day 1 Digital so far.

personally i didn't mind Halo 4, but i've noticed how i'm playing it a lot less than I used to with Halo 1 and Halo 2, oh well, this person picks up very good points, instead of quick deaths i like emptying my entire magazine out on a spartan and while we are reloading whoever gets a good melee or reloads first and begins shooting would win.

Another shameless plug for the Online Customs and LAN parties organization thread. We need to get more people in there so we can add each other on friend lists and such (and get contact info for LANs if that's your thing).

It's an absolutely hyperbolic article that only lists every single complaint, valid or not, that has been thrown at the game.

Of course, and there is no extra code for Halo 5 Beta and TV series. Its all integrated in the main menu. When you scroll over to extras, you will see both options.

New hardware is in quotes because it's a relative term. A GPU designed in 2013 is newer hardware than what the XBO has inside. You coud also say that it's current hardware, or newer hardware than the 360 (as you say, nobody is disputing that), but simply stating new hardware is relative, thus my quotes.

Still, I'd like to hear confirmation on how stable these 60 fps will be. As I said, I wasn't impressed by Halo AE framerate (and I replayed it this weekend, so I know how it feels).

The XBO GPU is about as modern any GPU on the market now. The same architecture as the PS4 GPU, and this R270.

Personally I think Halo 2 is the worst Halo game.
I only play campaign, and I understand that MP was truly groundbreaking.

I feel the campaign levels are much more constrained in Halo 2 than in the other games, there are also some questionable design choices; like Jackal snipers that kill you instantly, being stuck with just Covenant weapons against the flood, the game's very abrupt ending etc. All in all I find H2 rather tedious to play. It still is a decent game, just not as good as all the others.

Strangely, I still look forward to playing it again this November.

Agreed, Halo 1 was the greatest but I haven't played Halo 3 and Halo 4 is a lot different so its hard to compare. As soon as I played Halo 1 first level and all, I was amazed in so many different levels.

Music: A disaster made by an untalented loser.

This guy (Neil Davidge) is a retarded with no talent, and how not? The guy comes from an experimental hip-hop/pop band! Hip hop!!

The main menu music of this failure just fall short to Halo's original theme.....Also, there's no any classic theme

No.

Barely legible in places. Ign should be ashamed to host this shit on their site.

True. I thought Halo 4 was a bad Halo but nowhere near as this guy say it is.


Halo 4 is still a fantastic game.

Sounds like a plan. Might make clicking the picture bring up a modal with screenshots, links to wiki pages, etc.

I was just checking on my shopto preorders and noticed that my halo master chief collection order now says it includes the exclusive XX skull.

I hope this doesn't mean there are skulls limited to where you order from :/

Halo 3 map bugs

Told you it wasn't as bad a situation as Halo 2

Thanks for these.

I just hope 343i actually listens to common sense instead of "but I want these glitches for custom games and fuck everyone else" crowd.

 

[Chitown B]

It's amazing the amount of hate for both of these games upon release -moreso for Reach, and now everyone is desperate to have them.

everyone? No. I loved ODST and think it might be the best campaign, but Reach, after I played straight though the campaign to the end in 7 hours after midnight launch - was a turd. MP maps were pulled straight from the campaign. Almost no symmetrical arenas with sight lines. Just an AA fest. Straight up competing with CoD and ruined the direction of Halo.

Thanks to Karl2177 for pointing out a screenshot extractor tool so I could some pics.

this stuff is not that bad. I played 4500 matches and I don't think I noticed any of them.

Sums it up pretty well. Friends and I created a custom game mode called "shotta brief" on midship. Grenades and shotguns in a mele up to 100 kills. I've never laughed so hard,

Indeed; very true. Funny enough I was also playing Gunbound and met a lot of people from there and spent many hours. I MISS THOSE DAYS SO MUCH.

 

[Der Flatulator]

So what's the deal with vehicles for Halo 2 re-imagined maps? Will there be, e.g., remastered Spectres?

for sure. H3 also, as noted. Was a good time period.

I rather they disable Kinect and use the extra 10% GPU.

I never owned a kinect for my 360 so I had to miss out on the scanning, I do hope it's carried over since it's already implanted.

That and that there is a tied achievement to scanning I will never unlock, lulz.

It's the firmware nanosuit underarmour upgrade.

6 remastered H2 ones. And all other maps ever.

Agreed. I had to switch to an ivy league haircut because of thinning.

Going full-on bald takes guts and more power to the people who can rock it.

You can see I am thinning a bit on top.

Oh, I reached my target weight btw. Lost forty pounds in five weeks. Feels good.

Stinkles Anniversary edition has some new assets.

not really. Most people will want to play the originals anyway. The 6 remastered are just icing on the cake. Plus they'll be the most loved. Some maps wouldn't benefit from a remaster if no one wants to play those ones much anyway.
