Fair point. That was the wrong choice of phrase - I'll admit that. People are getting a good package and if it's something they want, then I'm sure they'll get what they pay for. I still maintain this is lazy for all the reasons I've explained elsewhere.

What a stupid post.
Sorry, but it is.
I'd suggest not buying a Wii U, a PS4, or the X1 if you don't like nostalgia or remasters/remakes.
I'm not a Halo fan, and getting that many games/remasters in one package is a steal at $60.
LOL, poor cocks.
I'm sorry, but you're going to have to elaborate on how combining every Halo game, rebuilding them all to 60fps locked, rebuilding Halo 2 from its geometry to its textures, and combining every single bit of it's multiplayer AND SINGLE PLAYER into a single all-encompassing setup, is lazy.
Heck, you can pick random levels...say 3 from each game...and play those one after the other like your own custom game (I believe). I see nothing lazy here. Lazy is remastering a game with assets you already have at a higher level. This is anything but lazy. In fact, it's probably the most work I've ever seen in a remaster/repackaging. Show me anything even close to this that includes 4 games, rebuilding of assets, and integration of all those games into one menu/setup system?
I'm waiting

Lookin good. 343 and Certain Affinity are hitting it out of the park with H2A multiplayer.
Considering we can buy and pre load Destiny RIGHT NOW at this very moment, its pretty much 100% guaranteed we will be able to do the same the the MCC. MS better fix that 3 AM BULLSHIT for East Coast people though!!!!

I can't believe some are complaining about this.
This collection of games is probably the best collection i've ever seen. It's really a great compilation made with care and one that supports multiplayer. There's 4 amazing campaigns here, split-screen supported, online supported, 1080p/60fps supported and many more... all of that for 60$ and some still find ways to downplay that ? Please...

Really?...
What the level is lacking is contrast, though. Right now it's way too flat, even if they are doing it for gameplay purposes.
My last comment on this since it is derailing, but the story missions were certainly not interesting enough to me to want to do solo and my real life friends are never on at the same time as me. That game is meant to be played with others.
On topic, I can't wait to take that H2 BR back online. Dedicated servers are going to make ranked matchmaking at least a little bit more even.

Your argument is pretty lazy too as it reduces to you feeling "insulted" by MS playing the nostalgia card to sell some consoles (how dare they!) while ignoring the most important thing, you get a great package at an extraordinary price.
Plus it's not like halo fans have been clamiuring for dedicated servers and 60 fps in halo, right?
Stupid lazt MS giving halo fans what they want!
My god it's so beautiful. SWAT with dat smoothness is gonna be sweeeet.
And I can't believe some of the complaints here.. 4 full goddamn games with their MP component in a single package re-done at 1080p@60fps. I can't think of any other HD collection release that comes even close to this one in value.

Dam need to wait till im home.... :'(
I was young when I played Halo 2 so I don't remember if this is true or not. Were the primary weapons the sniper rifle and that burst fire gun? I recall using the automatic rifle a lot more, maybe I just really sucked
IIRC, players start with SMG's during matches in OG Halo 2.

no, the primary weapon was the SMG
eventually they updated it so that on the larger maps you started with an SMG and a Battle Rifle
I imagine it'll be the same way in Halo 2 Anniversary.
They are just playing with custom settings for entertainment

I don't see you listing any reasons for why this collection is 'lazy'.
Perhaps I'm just not seeing it?
Thing is... MCC is cheaper than buying all 4 games new.
Microsoft could have just straight ported all 4 games. They could have not bothered with Halo 2 MP, they could have not added online MP to Halo:CE, they could have decided not to port the HaloCE/2 multiplayer maps or gave us all the DLC maps (forcing us to rebuy them).
This is by far the best valued game collection out there before you even get into the details of how much work is going into the re-release... there is also absolutely no equal on that front, either.
Is it exploitation? Not even close. It's the ultimate fan service.
Sure, let gamers circle the drain on last gen's big hits if that's what they want - God knows people are most comfortable with what they know. It's still deplorable to have it as your most anticipated title on a brand new platform.
dun worry. it gun b k.
No idea if anyone knows this yet, but will online co-op for Halo 1 and 2 still be based on the original net-code? That is to say, will there still be no netcode? For Halo CE Anniversary online co-op was basically unplayable because of all the lag.
It was setup to basically emulate local co-op over the internet, so all commands had to go to the host box and then back to the client. It was seriously awful and ruined what my friend and I have been looking forward to for a long time (since we live in different states now).
Any word on that in the MCC?

you do realize there are other xbox one games, right?
it is only the most anticipated title because gamers want it that badly.
Could you be more condescending.
Entirely lacking in creativity or originality.

they forgot to turn f.lux off when taking screen/video captures
343, fix this shit please.
That's just a stupid attitude. How about you worry about what you like and not what other people enjoy?

Same position as you but with different circumstances. I never got Xbox LIVE until 2008, and when I did, the population of players in Halo 2 MP was small due to Halo 3. It was only during the day before they shut down Xbox LIVE on OG Xbox that I got to play with lots of people.
This remaster is my opportunity to play Halo 2 Multiplayer in it's glory. If the remastered version doesn't appeal to me, I can always have the original version to play in it.
Oh man, Halo 2 was so good when it came out on Xbox. I played about 6 - 8 hours everyday for over a year. Man, those were the days.

That is pretty much the best description of this package. Stupidly hyped to play real Halo again.

All these keywords you keep sending out are rather funny. Lazy, insulted, deplorable, and god knows what else I've missed. It's bad because people want it. And it isn't like Microsoft doesn't have plenty of other games coming to the system that people are excited about or anything. Not even a new, proper next gen Halo.
So everything being ported and/or remastered on any system ever is lazy now?
90% of other ports don't do half of what 343 is doing with the Master Chief Collection.
First off, the 'most anticipated' title is completely objective. The only reason this is celebrated as much as it is is because people are genuinely excited about/really want this. If you aren't one of those people there are still other really good looking new titles coming (Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Ori, Below, Forza Horizon 2, etc.). I don't know why I am feeding the troll, I guess you are really good at it - your arguments are so flimsy it is hard not to try to tear them apart.
Minimal investment?
So redoing the entirety of Halo 2 campaign, making new cutscenes, releasing a TV series for buyers of the set, porting and integrating every single game at a deep level, adding features that have never been on console versions or even any version... recreating 6 maps from the ground up.. falls under your criteria?
There's huge investment. There is risk. There is creativity (Halo2A) and there is originality. (campaign and MP integration)

He's extremely good at it, almost professional, which is why he keeps using certain bizarrely misrepresentative keywords to set people off and plant the thought in people's heads, no matter how insane we know the use of such words to be. And any and all reactions to it are giving him exactly what he wants. I know what game he's playing, but I still couldn't not respond to some of them. He's a master of his craft.
It's pretty funny. The rampant Xbox One shilling around launch got out of hand but the occasional new member who comes in to try and shit on any system because they don't like it is always funny to see. Some of their arguments are just so precious.
The warm lighting seems absolutely fine, and gives more color contrast between interior and exterior segments of the map.
Also, the reasons everyone feels to compelled to respond to that one poster should be the same making it clear why they're worth ignoring. They're either looking at things so differently that engaging won't be productive, or they're deliberately (which is my guess) structuring posts to get a reaction.

If I was trolling I'd call you a butt-hurt MS fanboy and gloat about how much hardware Sony's shifting. I'm not doing that. I'm talking about MS specifically and the inherent cynicism of such a move. Someone who disagrees with you is not automatically a troll.
Just stop will you, you're embarrassing yourself now.
