Halo: Master Chief Collection - PAX Pannel (LIVE NOW)

I just rewatched the part and you got that wrong.

They said: "We wanted to do something meaningful, which would affect the universe permanently".

This could mean so many things, including that she is dead forever. I doubt that, though. It will probably be an other scenario where we have to save Cortana. Well, at least I hope so.

Maybe I did jump the gun a bit. They also did mention Johnson right before he said that too though.
 
Damn, anyone has a link for the entire Halo Panel PAX stream? I was promised it would be up as soon as it was done, but it aint up. Am I missing something? Where is it? Argh!

EDIT: I found it, it was under PAX twitch user and not the Halo.
 
Cortana remaining 'dead' is actually a pretty interesting concept. Having her be such a prominent and important figure throughout the series, to suddenly be without her would make for a very different experience.

I suspect she'll reappear at some point though, we still don't know much about what happened when she was with the Gravemind.

I wonder if that's a tease for Halo 5 music. It seems TOO radically different from the Halo 2 soundtrack.

I would be very OK with this. H2 music was the best of the series for me, this is like H2 on roids.

If you guys want a tease of Halo 5 music, I'm pretty sure that first look video had some. Check out the music starting around the 2:00 mark:

Sounds really good to me. Sorta reminds me of "117", which ranks among my top Halo tracks of all time.

Panel was pretty awesome overall. I can't wait to jump into Halo 1 & 2 Anniversary and use the Game DVR to record. That's going to be a lot of fun.



You're welcome! You guys got to check out Halo Legends from way when back.

Will do!

Ah okay, makes sense.

Sergeant Johnson's death still hurts me btw. :(

Or what happened, when she was with the Librarian.
 
Welp. Time to start saving for an X1. Also is this going to be made available digitally? I have $270 Xbox credit to spend.
 
Anyone else think the H2 battle rifle in anniversary campaign sounds way better than in anniversary multiplayer? Multiplayer sound is a bit high pitched imo.

so can we play h2a with the classic soundtrack ? they make it sound like switching to the old version is required

Per the Q/A, it sounds like when you play classic Halo 2, you only get classic audio, and when you play Halo 2 Anniversary you only get remastered audio. So no mix and match, unlike with CEA.

Huge bummer. I loved playing CEA with Anniversary graphics, but with classic music. =(

Same. Whenever I played CEA I just played with Classic music.

I'd honestly hope that you can select which audio source to use prior to playing, but I don't think it'll happen. Fingers crossed though!

Edit: There's confirmation on this at around 1:05:00 of the panel.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's not the same, god damn it! I can't have my cake and eat it, too in this case.

Ah well. Hope that soundtrack is amazing. But at least the original is always there. So...

I give up.
 
You should be able to see the difference between MCC Halo 3 and 360 Halo 3 even if it was running at 1 fps. The increase in quality is that noticeable IMO.
 
So I wonder if Halo 3/4 forge will have less limitations now (budget and amount of items) because of the more powerful hardware. i'd love to see what people do on Sandbox with less limits.

Usually when a long standing character dies I'm all for it.
Usually it feels cheap to just bring someone like that back to life.
Usually when I first see them after the death I roll my eyes.

Usually.
 
I hope this collection causes a resurgence in custom games. Halo 3 customs were some of the most fun I've ever had playing a game, then party chat was introduced and they just sort of died off.
 
I got to attend the panel, it was amazing. The sound in that theater was so loud and so balanced that each shot from the remastered audio felt good.

Halo 3 looked beautiful in motion, and the new lighting engine, while not extremely different, lends some serious beauty to a well designed and well aged game.

I was first in line yesterday to try out Lockdown, and I got first place. Not only that, @Halo tweeted a picture of me playing before the hall opened. Pretty fucking awesome.

H2A feels so right, and the new Forge stuff has me super optimistic for it. We'll get some new maps from some creative community members, and we'll have a game that will last us on multiplayer until the next game, or even after.

Also I was the guy who asked about the Halo CEA transition, since the guy before me asked about the Armor customization. I wanted to ask if all the permutations were unlocked from the get go, but I didn't want to belabor the already asked and dodged answer.
 
Watched the panel. Good job moderating Stinky. Good show all around

Good to hear.

Really need that 1080p/60 H3 direct footage, stream didn't do it justice.
 
Any side-by-sides to see the lighting differences in Halo 3 because I couldn't really tell but it's been a while since I played Halo 3
