This is a major reason why Halo CE is far and away the best Halo for skill based play and execution. One player can make some serious plays and out shoot/play people like no other Halo. That's what the series needs to get back to, the potential for high lethality via a high skill gap and balanced sandbox.

Really impressed by your pistol leading and reticule positioning, perfect for Halo PC's spotty netcode lol. Evidence you played it a lot.
Not gonna lie, it was super good. I don't think I've ever seen someone lead shots that well on PClove it, i so much cannot wait to get to polish my rusty pistol skills

CE is the only game where you'll find clips of 3sk's in montages. You wouldn't see 4sk's as being highlights in a Halo 2 or 3 montage lol. The beauty of this collection is that we can make montages that are of decent quality compared to the toasters of back then.
Not only just the montages but having "some form" of CE at 1080p/60fps will allow for so many things like comparison vids, weapon analysis, movement and how it impacts game play. You can barely find any proper CE clips anymore. Now it'll take you like 5 seconds to record high quality clips of some great game play. I only wish this stuff existed back then. I think I recorded matches with my cousin in 2001 using a Sony Hi-8 camcorder sitting on table zoomed into television lol.
and in another 15 years, we'll be saying the same thing again.

Escalation is canon.
The games are designed so that story is self contained, at least in theory. Halo 5 won't require you to know about Chief and Blue Team with a Monitor fighting Didact on a Halo. Easter eggs and such may reference the extended fiction, but the core experience is to have a player relate to the events that they see as they play.
One of the major failing of Halo 4 in my opinion is that the motivation and justification of the Didact and his actions and plans is much more well fleshed out in the books, to the point where in the game there's pretty much no real explanation at all. I'm confident 343 have read that feedback loud and clear.
If I'm wrong, correct me please.
I meant to respond to the OP but forgot to. Frankie commented on it only a month after that issue was released, of course they're not going to spoil something after it's been out for that long, that's borderline idiotic to do. So, he play's dumb, says "we'll see" and brushes it off for fans to find out. It may also be something we find out in Halo 5:G but right now, the general public doesn't know that MC knows of other Spartan II's.
So, did anyone see this/was it already posted?
Again, I meant to post it earlier and forgot. I wonder what the surprise is? Maybe Halo 5 footage?????
Totally reaching with that one. It'll probably be something like the intro cinematic or something.

Maybe h2a forge!?
I want to see that.

That would be really cool. The coverage is ending next week so i'm hoping it'll go out with a bang.

Any real surprise will be leaked before its officially shown by IGN. Probably.

Posted on the last page, yeah. My money's on either H5 footage, Forge, or some sort of sneak peek at the documentary/bookend cinematic.

I don't think we'll be seeing any Halo 5 footage until the "premier" on the 10th. During the live stream they confirmed that they will be showing Forge on First, so that means we have one unknown day, I wonder if that is supposed to be the surprise or if Forge is even though they said it on the stream.
You said it man. I think a lot of the people that never got to play Halo: CE on a competitive level are going to be in for a surprise. It really is drastically different from Halo 2. There is no mercy in Halo: CE only death.

Now we only need more CE only playlists, or a custom search option to set search parameter within certain playlists
"Two men enter, the better man leaves. The lesser man is respawning."
Sums up Halo CE well, certainly not Reach lol
By far my most favorite Bungie-era quote. Just a shame it came from the Reach dev cycle. I won't say I hated the game, but it definitely ranks below any other with me for some reason, idk why, just didn't like it much.
Halo would benefit greatly from a server browserNow we only need more CE only playlists, or a custom search option to set search parameter within certain playlists

MCC would have literally been the perfect game to introduce a custom game search.
The good news is that, because it feels so fair, getting stomped on in CE isn't so frustrating. Usually.
It's kinda like Dark Souls to me. I can deal with it because I know it was my own fault. I can learn from it and improve. If it's because of bullshit, I can't do anything about that except say it's bullshit.

Remember when Luke mentioned how the DMR was like having a miniature Death Star in your hand? Halo CE Pistol.

Is there any way to know if my TMCC is corrupted? Under My Games & Apps it shows up as "Preordered" and brings me to the store where it says "Play it 11/11." I wanted to make sure there's nothing off since there was word of files getting corrupted if downloaded with the Xbox One off.
Don't know if it'll actually do anything, but completely shut your xbox down and reboot it and see what it says.

Happened to Kittens I think. But it only seems to set your download back a chunk. Should be good if you're 100%. Did you download It in stand by?

That was stupid, lol.
My download just kept resetting. It regressed back to around 30% several times. I eventually just left my Xbox on all day, and that did the trick. Apparently putting the console into standby is part of the issue that's been going around.
I notified the image for the MCC in the My Games and Apps folder was missing today...
Then again so was my background image so my Xbox was sort of having a fuck up streak. I'll check it again tomorrow.

Yeah, I should be good then. Thanks :]
Yes, the image is missing now. I tried to copy it for someone to save them the download. It seems preloads are immovable.

Suprise?
Hm. Terminal videos? Halo 5 beta gameplay? H2 Forge? Halo Nighfall sneak peak?
That's probably why they revealed it first.

I straight up dislike that map. There's nothing good about it. There are worse maps of course, but how it passed as a remake selection is beyond me.
What's Feature Set?
