Halo: Master Chief Collection Multiplayer Playlists Revealed

lol, yeah, it can be kind of awkward. Just add people who you think seem cool, then you'll meet more people through them, and eventually you'll have a decent friends list going? Or you can add everyone and put them on mute if you need to, lol.
 
I'd still like an "I'd play anything" choice that just puts you in the playlist that needs players at that particular moment.

If you had that kind of option and enough people who'd choose it - then you could have more playlists for each game as people would be auto assigned to the more obscure game types to keep population levels up.

Of course maybe I'm alone in this line of thinking.

The switching between games wont be too jarring thanks to the customisable controls.
 
what a bummer, no 8v8 Halo CE playlist?!
im not interested at all in playing the BTB list which mostly will contain out of the other Halo titles :/
i want to play the Halo game I WANT with the mod I WANT, thats nostalgia! (at least the popular modes ofc)

i assume there is no custom playlist in which i eg can set Halo CE 8v8 games only?


edit:
ryan actually mentions this in the topic, one single playlist for all the 8v8 love in the whole MCC is ridiculous
might as well not buy the game then and continue playing Halo PC, just one 4v4 playlist and no 8v8 isnt what im willing to spend 460€ on
by playing the available Halo CE 4v4 playlist you wont get maps like sidewinder, timberland or icefields which are among the best :/
 
Do you all think these playlists will still exist a year from now?

I want this game and I would buy an Xbox for it, but how do I know the playlists will stay and that they won't cut out playlists? They did that for the Halo 1 CEA Reach playlist less than a year later (removed BTB and other modes that I enjoyed) and they removed Halo 3 and Halo 4 playlists at the end.

I really want to play these playlists forever and I don't think I'd buy it if the playlists were cut just to force people to go to Halo 5.

    The game that started it all. Play a mix of Slayer and objective game types in Halo: Combat Evolved for the first time on Xbox Live. 4v4.
  • Halo eSports
    The official Halo eSports playlist. 4v4.

They'll be adjusted to match what the community is feeling and where the players are so that you don't end up with playlists with a handful of players.
 
I wonder if Halo CE weapon start is set to "generic" or "custom" (for the love of god please be generic, and no radar of course).

That's a genius idea.
 
Playlists are fantastic. Almost sad I don't have an Xbox... fortunately people will be playing this for years I bet. When I get one later on I'll be sure to pick it up.

Unless the elusive PC release happens.

I actually like this a lot. Having a hopper that enters you and potentially your party into all other hoppers would be awesome.

Stinkles, we need this.
 
Awesome! Have my Halo 2 playlist. I can't imagine playing all of the Halo games in one playlist. The mechanics are rather different for each game - might be too jarring.
 
Just hoping that we have a big enough population so that each of those playlists is always playable. I know I'll be skipping around through them.

Relax, playlist rotations will most likely happen weekly. If they are popular, they become permanent.

This is how Halo has always worked. New playlists almost ever week.

I think that's what custom games are for. Hoppers are structured so that they will continue to have a healthy player count. Something that specific would not. So i guess thats life.

Yeah, I am worried about that, too. I'm thinking we'll have a month or two of solid numbers where everything fills up quickly before things start spreading out. Secondly, I hope there are no stupid multiplayer achievements that make people play in dumb ways or boost.
 
I'm more excited for Halo CE multiplayer than anything else really. Looking good but I'm afraid this will thin out the player base significantly per each playlist. There are just too many.

I plan on making too many game clips of Warthogs being blown across Sidewinder and Blood Gulch via on ground grenades+rockets+Scorpion+overshields. Halo CE will provide some hilarity again especially when people who haven't ever played the multiplayer with more than 4 people realize some of the crazy things that can happen.
 
Considering that I know that they always have some sort of playlist rotation, this is an excellent launch playlist listing.
 
man, with the amount of slayer littered throughout almost every playlist I swear if I see 1 slayer BTB gametype im going to snap.

Honestly can't stand how popular slayer/deathmatch modes are in FPS games. By far the most boring and least strategic to play.

BTB should be nothing but objective.

getting another 15 friends just to play a custom game of 16 Players Objective seems a bit of an overkill task for the regular gamer
youd need to have around 30-40 active MCC players in your friendlist to realize that



unless i have missed it so far i wish the game would offer a custom search matchmaking
eg set Halo 4 with 8 players and Slayer
or Halo 2 with 16 players TeamSlayer
the game then searches across all available games and puts you into one that suits the parameter you have set
when the game is finished you are booted out until the system found the next game for you

i mean it sounds extremly uncomfortable to eg go into the Slayer playlist for as long as it requires just to see a Halo 4 Slayer game (which due to the popularity of Halo 4 might not happen often!)
and tbh i dont feel like being the ass going with my 7 other mates into the BTB playlist just to enforce Halo CE on every voting round in which it appears
and quitting the moment it isnt being part of the vote or somehow doesnt win

Adding my voice to the cries for objective only playlists.

I just enjoy them more than boring deathmatches.
Click to expand...

I would think (hope) that the objective gametypes are weighted heavier than the slayer types in those playlists due to their being dedicated slayer playlists.
 
Im wondering which playlists are going to be ranked, and if not all of them are ranked, if 343 is planing to implement a Exp progresion system (similar to Halo 3).

Also, if the banhammer is going to be more severe for quiters, I can see a lot of people quiting just because their favorite Halo wasnt picked.
 
Ranked AND Social?! :D

And it can use Objective, Doubles, and Action Sack playlists but those will definitely come in updates. Other than that they're off to a great start.
 
Wasn't going to bother buying this, but if I'm reading that right and there's a TDM option with all the maps from 1-4 available in rotation, I think I'm in.

You can still double tap home and press x. I love the Kinect function. Make sure to get this clips.

I think the snap function is ok for people without kinect, but it still takes you out of the game for a second. With kinect I can continue playing and record at the same time with no interrupt. Is very important when recording multiplayer moments and I don't want to die because I stopped for a second to record.

The crossgame Slayer list is 1/2/3/2A. No Halo 4. But that should be cause for celebration, imo.

I love 4v4 Slayer, but yeah, 8v8 really benefits from the focus / change in player behavior caused by having an objective in the mix.

How the hell is 2v2 not a day one playlist? 343 pls
Click to expand...

Skill Ranks are back and Doubles was commonly used to boost your way to 50.

343 probably wants to see how ELO will work in this brave new world under more... standard conditions.

That is exactly what the Team Slayer playlist says it is. Have at it.

343 was very good with playlist additions and rotations in Halo 4. I'm confident that we'll see some awesome additions at least by Christmas.

And I didn't really expect one to begin with but has Frankie shot down the possibility of a Custom Games Browser in MCC yet?
