I'm blown away how this package gets better and better. I remember being skeptical when there were rumors that each game's multiplayer would be featured. Love how it can set up an achievement run too. Kudos to 343 for knocking this out of the park so far.

MCC is just on fan service overdrive. What else could they possibly to make this collection better?

Damn, that is fantastic.
Far out, 343 you are doing great. I've never seen the community so universally positive. Reading reactions on various forums and videos, everyone is excited. My old halo team slayer / doubles partner messaged me the other day telling me he's picking up an XB1 just for this. I just can't wait now. There may be nitpicking here and there but that really is all it is and some people will never be pleased. These are going to be a painful few weeks, and on top of the wait for MCC I have exams to study for, I'm going to fail.

The Pistol as a Power Weapon is something I was an advocate for at one point, but it would be more effective IMO if they just returned to AR/Pistol starts, which could also be the solution to the "SMG starts in 2014" debate.
AR/Pistol (4sk) starts and change the BR to be a better weapon with less aim assist, tighter spread, 3sk, and the rest of the sandbox accordingly. If they didn't have to worry about balancing the Boltshot for loadouts, it could've been a cool new pick-up to the Halo sandbox, but now everyone just hates it because of how it was implemented, similar to Promethean Vision. If you have a powerful starting set that could take out Power Weapons with skill and precision, then the rest of the sandbox is designed around a concept of power (ie: compare Halo 3 Rockets to CE Rockets) and viability (ie: unique weapon traits like the Plasma Rifle stun), which leads to more creativity and in turn a better experience, IMO. I felt too weak as an individual player after CE as the sandbox continually got either weaker or more redundant.
Give us Halo CE.
Too soon?
Okay fine:
Combat Evolved 2
interesting how they changed the difficulty emblems.

In the video it appeared that there was an option to change the filter from friends to global
I believe you're right.
Ah didn't catch that. Hopefully it's true. It will probably function like the leaderboard in Halo Wars then.
Up on the top right it looks like hitting X will switch you to global or something else other than just friends and Y switches between Solo or Coop

I'd be really surprised if there wasn't.

What would an MP one include? KD and Win/Loss and stuff?
I guess now since it uses the Halo 2 Rankings... that. Leaderboards for each playlist displaying rank, K/D, games won. They had MP leaderboards in Halo 4 with CSR and stuff but only on the web app of course.

yeah...the splits thing...that's absolutely incredible. It goes from red, green, and to blue. Just like they do it on twitch.
343...
I don't preorder games, but your good will and amazing work on this is gonna make me pre-order Halo 5.
I'm feeling legit bad they are offering this for only $60. LOL

Seriously impressed with the amount of attention 343 is giving this collection. I didn't expect much more than what was shown at the reveal since that was awesome as it was. They really knocked it out of the park. This is actually what's going to push me to pick up the Xbone.
I feel like this would only encourage boosting/cheating.
OF ALL TIME.
...
I like what they've added. Very cool! I remember being a bit disappointed because they removed campaign scoring and whatnot in Halo 4. Achievement linking is awesome too. I was worried I'd have to keep flicking through lists to figure out what I need to do
Slight tangent: There's something that annoys me with the UI. It's like, where's the uniformity? Every menu looks different and they don't really line up with each other. Nitpicking here of course, but it seems a bit odd. Perhaps it feels better when you're actually using it. Whatever the case, not a big deal

Blur cinematic cutscenes for CEA. I presume Halo 3 will get them in 2.5 years.
These Halo 2 cutscenes look like absolute perfection. Heres to hoping that it brings a hype level worthy of greenlighting a CG film. Halo Legends was a 343I project, correct? I'd give both of my testicles for a CGI film based from first contact with the Covenant, all the way through the fall of Reach. It could serve as a prequel to the live action movie... if and when that ever happens.
Spectator Mode for the comp community. Literally can't think of anything else I'd personally want
other than Reach and ODST

This was the excuse for getting rid of H2's leaderboards, but the reality is that shit happens anyway in almost every game. Maybe make it friends only? But on the other hand, I've played plenty of other games where the leaderboards worked great for global scores and whatnot. A tiny bit of maintenance and anti-cheating measures goes a long way.
A good random thought. I think most people agree.

The thing is, grenades can have "indicators" without smacking you in the face with another HUD element. A Plasma Grenade is a glowing blue ball that hisses. Isn't that enough?
Not for people whose first video game was Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
That's what I'm saying, I LOVE THAT.
The glow of the frag in H2, the ping, ping, ping in H3...
That's all you need to know if its near you.
As far as hit-markers, that's really going to be abused and change how we play Halo in a very bad way.
