Same thoughts by me, though I would love to see a custom game browser, because playlist settings will probably be ass.

True true. I'm sure the PC release will have a browser though. Just you watch.
Man at this rate come January the deal MS will be running is going to be an Xbox One, FIVE free games, a Windows phone, a shiatzu massage and a dinner with Peyton Manning for 100 bucks...
Just pulled the trigger and picked up a Sunset Overdrive bundle so I'll be ready for Master Chief Collection. Best Buy still had it priced at $399, but the sales guy was super helpful and talked to the manager - if I bring it in Sunday they'll do the price match to bring it down to $349, and they'll manually reapply my 10% off coupon, bringing it to $315. Good stuff.
Oh, and I had $120 in gift cards leftover from when they had that Xbox 360 trade in promo and I got rid of the spare repaired 360s I had. Sunset Overdrive download code is going for $50 right now. So $145 + tax in total for a white Xbone with a game.
Score.

Are you in the USA? I know Xbox Canada came out last week and part of Europe got them today. No update for Americans yet.
I just returned from picking up my Sunset Bundle at EBGames Canada. Not going to crack the seal until i see if the Nov 2nd $349 deal applies to Canadian orders.
Europe.
See, with the coming $50 price drop, the one bundle that's pulling me the most is the Sunset Overdrive one. However (and I'm probably a weird one here) I actually would prefer the standard black XB1. It was the same reason I was excited when the X360 slims were coming out in black I was PUMPED. I guess I just prefer my consoles in darker colors...
That said, was it revealed with the price drop if any/all retailers would be offering other free games (your choice or retailer's choice) besides just the bundles we've seen to date much like the "free game of your choice" thing in September?
Do you think they will? I mean the dollar is dropping still. Already we were technically the cheapest market in the world for an Xbox One, because $399 CAD was only like $352+ USD.
That being said, because the $100 off old hardware ends at the Microsoft store on Nov 2nd as well, I'm assuming they might do a price drop here as well. I'm going to ask the manager at the Microsoft Store when I pick mine up in about an hour and half, if he has any idea of any future promotions.

Europe, where? I play with the collection since october 23. (But only campaign. Multiplayer content missing.
)What is that 10% off coupon and is it something anyone can get? I'm trying to find the best deal on an XBox One for my buddy who wants one and is getting Halo MCC. He has an XBox 360 120GB Elite system he is looking to trade in as well. Do any of these trade-in promotions also accept XBox 360 games that you can trade in towards an XBox One?

Can you play the campaigns to completion without the 20GB content update?

Radar is detrimental to a "lone wolf" player. Radar allows enemies to see you coming, rendering a solo player completely useless.
Actually this. No motion tracker allows lone wolf players to better effectively flank and surprise enemy positions.
It's because of motion tracker that I've become a crouch walking master because I still like to flank and surprise enemies often by lonesome.

The flat terrain isn't fully flat! Really though this looks like a nice improvement on forge island which was pretty good.
The accompanying press documentation suggests that you can, yes.
Put it this way... they had made beaver creek... on the edge of a huge BTB map... just for fun

Forge looks fanfrickintastic.
I could honestly see H2A becoming my favorite ever Halo multiplayer if 343 does a good job of adding good Forge maps to matchmaking.

Also worth noting: the ocean you see there is only a foot deep. You can forge around it to make rivers, lakes, etc.

Forge looks awesome.
Still can't say this package is a great value for $60. Needs more stuff I can't get using PC mods, a few bucks for bargain bins, some scotch tape, glue, rubber bands and pocket lint tho.

Or maybe just some deeper areas.
This is only one of the forge maps though? I think I've read that there are multiple.
