I'm not sure how the online works? Theres 2 online modes, Classic Halo 2 with all the maps and then the new Anniversary edition which has new graphics/features and only a few maps?

 

[Tidus_Great]

so i could play through halo, halo2, andhalo 3 campaigns with matchmaking online? Is that what you're telling me. If so gawd dayummmm this makes me want a Xbone not gonna lie if they did a bundle for 400 i'd go for it with a special halo console

 

[GringoSuave89]

Have they talked about what that are going to do with armor customization across all for games?

It's assumed that they will all be unlocked from the get go, but nothing official yet.

You are correct sir! I doubt they'll do a bundle, since COD comes out only one week sooner than MCC and their custom/bundled already got announced.

 

[RoKKeR]

One MCC thread is enough... splitting it up by campaign and multiplayer doesn't really make much sense to be honest.

Any links out there to some fairly competent players playing on Sanctuary? All of the official media outlet players are terrible haha

 

[The Librarian]

Hey people. Been talking to Mix about the OT for this, and we figured it'd be cool to get some feedback. How would you feel about having 2 separate MCC threads, one for campaign/co-op and one for custom games?

We're both leaning pretty heavily toward just the one thread, but input is always appreciated.

I don't think moderators would allow two threads for one, and secondly I don't see much of a point in having a thread for custom games.

Wait for the mini-tournament finals to air on Twitch.

 

[TheOddOne]

Do we need a separate thread for the Halo 5 beta? Would love to do that.

 

[DopeyFish]

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

It's not.

Walls are limiting, but they are friendly in the sense where they are telling you that you can't go there.

countdown barriers punish players for developer/designer incompetence and they are beyond frustrating. Feels far more limiting than a wall. It's very lazy design.

 

[Blueblur1]

I don't understand why they removed the Stick medal. There should be separate medals for plasma kills and sticks.

Seriously.

iirc it's been claimed

Are you serious dude?

Of course we will. But its too soon I think. Still need more info and gameplay.

 

[TheOddOne]

Awwwwwwwwwww, man

Of course we will. But its too soon I think. Still need more info and gameplay.

Usually want to plan these things out, get the base ready so it doesn't become overwhelming when we get near to the beta. Basically my philosophy on everything.

I cannot think of anything more lazy then having an invisible wall block my way to what appears to be a perfectly accessible area. Are you for real right now? At least with a RTB notice, I know that while I CAN go to an area, I'm not WELCOMED to that area.

 

[Fracas]

Awwwwwwwwwww, man

rip

 

[DopeyFish]

Are you serious dude?

Very serious.

 

[RoKKeR]

Wait for the mini-tournament finals to air on Twitch.

Ah, forgot about that. Good deal.

Also read earlier in the thread that Halo 3 was shown behind closed doors recently?

FRANKIE GIVE US THE HOOK-UP.

 

[Navy Bean]

I can't wait to find out if the Library Level in Halo: CE is as bad as everyone says. I mean, I played it 12 years ago but don't really remember much about it - except the beach level and the big green valley level...lol.

 

[Slightly Live]

I wouldn't call it "grim."

It is very grim, brother.

 

[king grimlock]

Very serious.

I just don't see how allowing a player to go somewhere even for a short time is more lazy then not allowing them at all

 

[Master Yoshi]

Stinkles, will there be texture pop-in during the pre-rendered Blur cinematics?

Also, will the French leak the game a week early, and ruin the surprise for everyone who lacks the self control to not watch (such as myself.)


So hyped. I can barely contain it. I just got a job promotion that has doubled my rate of pay, thank God. I was really worried I wouldn't be able to afford the Xbox One due to bills and holidays.

The CEA version of it has a lot more color and visual cues that make it much more manageable.

In terms of remade level's I'm excited to see, Metropolis could look amazing. Also, High Charity has some serious potential in H2A.

 

[Exploratory]

I topped out at 44 myself. God I miss competitive halo 2.

I've never had a better online experience.

Spoiler

Fuck party chat. Bring back proximity voice chat.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Ah, forgot about that. Good deal.

FRANKIE GIVE US THE HOOK-UP.

Frankie said that there are so many things to explain about the graphics of H3 (read: why they don't look 100% yet) he doesn't think they'll release the footage.

 

[Exploratory]

So neither you or anyone in your party was bridging host?

I don't even know how.

 

[Tzeentch]

It is very grim, brother.

Not sure I understand, at least in relation to the Halo 2 remaster. None of the canon has changed, only the fidelity of the representation.

 

[Ramirez]

I don't plan on touching anything other than 3 and 4 after my first play through of the campaigns. And I am far from the only one. Stop assuming the GAF Halo echo chamber is indicative of anything.

Echo chamber? lol

Have you seen halo 4s population since a month or two after launch? You think they're going back to halos roots because 4 was amazing to long time fans? Echo chamber...yea.

 

[Skullface]

I'm so pumped for Halo 2 online again... That's how I spent my time ages 15-18. Plus, I believe it'll keep me busy while I'm waiting for Metal Gear Solid V.

 

[Navy Bean]

Other than parts of Halo 3 and all of Halo 4 I don't specifically remember shit (I remember some of the great levels but I couldn't tell you which game they're from). So these campaigns are gonna be one big déjà vu for me. Can't wait.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

I'll be surprised if the Halo 4 MP is more than 5-10% of the total MP population. It really shouldn't.

 

[MegalonJJ]

Will Halo 2 and Halo 3 (and Halo 1) have the option for online coop campaign?

 

[Bsigg12]

Will Halo 2 and Halo 3 (and Halo 1) have the option for online coop campaign?

Yes

 

[Skullface]

Will Halo 2 and Halo 3 (and Halo 1) have the option for online coop campaign?

Wow, I hope so! That'd be killer... The only campaigns I've played are Halo 1 and 2. I'm looking forward to 3's campaign and a little coop action would be awesome.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Will Halo 2 and Halo 3 (and Halo 1) have the option for online coop campaign?

Not trying to be mean, but you should probably check the OP.

 

[MegalonJJ]

Yes

That's simply awesome. Cheers.

Edit: Apologies, checking OP now

 

[ncsuDuncan]

It is very grim, brother.

+1

Argghhhh, damn it. Guess we'll have to be patient then.

 

[Chance Hale]

When might we see Halo 3/4 gameplay? The third is my favorite so I'm looking forward to replaying it the most.

Edit: Ah, just saw the above in regards to 3. When might that be explained

 

[Bsigg12]

Argghhhh, damn it. Guess we'll have to be patient then.

I really hope they do a Vidoc talking about the process of bringing Halo 3 and 4 to 1080/60 as well as talking about design and other things of H2A.

 

[GringoSuave89]

I really hope they do a Vidoc talking about the process of bringing Halo 3 and 4 to 1080/60 as well as talking about design and other things of H2A.

Now that they kinda revealed Halo Channel, I suspect a lot of the Vidoc material is being saved for it.

 

[nillapuddin]

Have they talked about what that are going to do with armor customization across all for games?

this is honestly the thing I wonder the most


Select your avatar from any of the games? Halo CE armor playing Halo 4?
Additional colors, pieces?

my minddd

Let's hope so, and yes it does seem likely that they will be creating more video content in the future.

As great as H2A looks I really can't wait to see how Halo 3 and 4 look with the upgrade.

Halo Channel is launching after the game release

 

[JDHarbs]

I'd really like to hear more about what settings are going to be used for matchmaking. I could deal with SMG starts in H2 or AR/Mag in H3 for awhile, but I'd prefer BRs y'know. We'll probably have voting choices for both I guess.

 

[Bsigg12]

Halo Channel is launching after the game release

Doesn't it come out on November 11th alongside the game?

 

[kittens]

The Library is one of my favorite levels in the series, and it's definitely my favorite Flood level. It's fast and frenzied, and I love it. The map could have used some more environment variety and helpful navigation cues, but it's still fun as hell.

General consensus is one thread. Sounds good.
