Wahrer Playlist Night is gonna be so great.

I miss the "Gametype on Map" names Halo 3 had, too. Can't wait to remake Godwin's Law on Steroids.

Toggling filters would be nice too, since there are 100+ maps... Something like BF's web interface (much easier to select with touch or mouse than a dpad):

Exactly. I want this for the MCC so badly. And though it's cumbersome, there has to be an in-game server browser menu available, too.

Finding a Team SWAT match on Halo 3 since last 20min :( still no luck.

Good luck. It seems almost impossible these days on Halo 3. Halo 4 SWAT with DMRs and pistols is better anyways, IMO. ;-) Plus, it is one of the more popular playlists in Halo 4 and there is usually 1K+ players in SWAT.

Yup true, I have no problem with Halo 4 SWAT and even Halo Reach, I play it all the time. But today I felt like playing some Halo 3. Waited almost 30 min. I could see I was being paired with 2-3 other guys every few min, but due to low count it resets. Poor me and poor those other 2 guys lol.
 
Watching MisterMonopoli attempt to play though Halo 2 on Legendary with all skulls on has been hard. He's been stuck on Grave mind and 1 particular section for 3 hours.

I have been checking in, not watching the whole time because that would be madness.

He holds the fastest Halo 2 legendary run and is a damn beast at the game (campaign only). He finally got his sub button on Twitch so I'm considering subbing to his channel.

I don't know if you guys announced this, but can we expect DLC maps for H2A?

Ma man. My favorite MP in the series.

The pistol automatically puts Halo CE multiplayer above all others. You add:

- no dual wielding
- no armour abilities
- no item power ups (Halo 3)
- Beaver Creek
- Hang em high

and it's simply no contest.

The Halo CE MP portion will own my life. Already got a week of recreational leave booked for the week of the 11th.

Wife and child willbe removed from the premises for the duration.

You're one of those "Attack on the Control Room" people, aren't you?

No way, the lack of proper custom games and forge alone mean it's not even in the same realm as 3.

BTB was ranked in Halo 2. I had gotten my highest rank in that playlist back then, I had gotten to a 31 in it. Halo 2 BTB was best BTB.
Click to expand...
I got up to a 34 I believe. One of my highest ranks along with Team Skirmish.

Only reasons for me to play the MCC!

Gets boring beating up terrible players who rush you with assault rifles and try to melee you to death all game.

It will be a bit of an adjustment for new players in Halo 1 and 2 since they can't rely on the overpowering melee strength from Halo 3 and 4.

3 > CE PC = CEA > Reach = ODST > 4 = 2 > CE > H2Vista
Click to expand...

We doing this again?

Multiplayer:

3 > 4 > Reach

Didn't play enough of 2 and CE mp to get a real opinion. Had shitty internet back then.

Campaign:

2 >>> ODST = 3 > 4 > CE = Reach

I probably love 2 so much because of nostalgia... I suppose I'll find out whether it's actually that good later this year!
 
MP

Reach>3>2>4
Looking forward to trying CE MP.

Campaign
2>3>4>Reach>CE>ODST
My love for Halo 2 campaign is propably because of nostalgia.
Played CE for the first time in 2009 so all the revolutional stuff wasn't revolutional for me.
 
In preperation for the MCC, my brother and I have planned to dust off our halo 3 disks and go back online and start playing team slayer\snipes again. None of us have fired up halo in years - i'm not counting halo 4 multiplayer (split).

We are like two boxers coming out of retirement, probably don't have the skills anymore to throw a grenade straight or melee and shoot with the accuracy that we had to take down top end teams, all skills that we took for granted and were effortless in the day.

But we need those skills back to compete on day 1. Long have we put any losses down to our UK pings so dedicated servers is going to be interesting and i'm looking forward to finding like minded skilled individuals to team with. We are both on fibre now so hopefully that will help. The xbox one is going to be shuttered for a few months whilst we play catch up.

What's the player numbers on halo 3 team deathmatch\snipers like at the moment?

Edit: 3 > 2 > Reach (but the difference between 2 and 3 is close).

Goddamn right it was. Rolling with a team of eight at higher levels was a blast, actually had some great competitive games that way. MLG circuit was always my focus, but BTB was fantastic.

I always wanted a 40+ in BTB but think I stopped at 37 or 38. Unfortunately it was a real struggle to get games at that point.
 
Wow, when did people start ranking two as their favourite Halo campaign?

I always thought that was the dark horse of the series, even after the release of four. I guess two nostalgia has kicked in with the Anniversary release or people have at least gotten over playable Arbiter. That took years.

I really enjoyed two when it was released but the multiplayer was obviously the highlight.

Campaign
3>1>Reach>ODST>2>4>Wars>Spartan Assault I like them all though.

Multiplayer
2>3>Reach>4

Can't wait to play some proper Halo CE multiplayer.

I've always loved 2. Sure it was buggy as crap, had awful texture pop in and was technically very poor. However for me it has some of the most memorable levels and design of any FPS campaign. I also really enjoyed playing as the Arbiter.

I do admit nostalgia may be hiding the bad parts of the game from memory but the good parts are absolutely spectacular. The entirety of Delta Halo, destroying the scarab in the river, the scarab gun and the giant football, crossing the bridge in the tank etc. It was a really cool game.

There was ranked BTB in Halo 3. I think it was only 6v6 though. They removed it once Reach launched.

Halo 3 ranked BTB was also 8v8. I loved that playlist. My crew got into the high 30s, low 40s in it before the search times got ridiculous. That's what killed the playlist. If they restricted the searchs a little less, the matches would be more frequent and keep people playing. Having to wait 20 minutes for a match against a team of 8 wore on people very quickly. Easily the most fun I had in halo 3 ranked playlists when it worked.
 
I am using Lumia 1520, and looking for one awesome HD halo wallpaper for my lock screen. Anyone?
 
I assume control schemes have been discussed. Is there a way to set a single control scheme for all the games via a single menu?

Replayed all of them before 4 came out, and for campaign I would say

2>3>ODST=1>reach>>>4

2 had the best music IMO and some very memorable levels. I didn't mind the brutes either. That level where master chief and the ODSTs land on the beach is probably my fav.

4 was terrible IMO. The prometheans were very boring enemies, and so were their weapons.
 
I remember really disliking Halo 2's campaign. I only played through it once after going through Halo CE's about 10 times by 2004.

Definitely looking forward to going through it again, tho.
