Once I get my copy tomorrow, and go through each campaign on normal just to relive it all, that's the plan.
Would like to with a friend in co-op - but we can't end a single mission because of disconnects -.-'

Has anyone seen if fileshares work?
Seeing as customs are the way to go right now, it'd be useful if there was a linked fileshare with good gametypes.
Does anyone have recommendations for Halo CE settings? I played a custom yesterday using the default slayer gametype and didn't spawn with nades and the movement speed felt very slow.
Also, has anyone forged up an Octogon for Halo 3 or 2:Anniversary yet?

Frankie are you guys adressing the crushed blacks issue in the MCC? What about brightness settings? Is this something you can patch in? Some levels are really really dark.
Yes, but probably in co-op 1st. Halo 1 and Halo 2 shouldn't be a problem, even alone.
In Halo 1 you have the unlimited ammo skull and in Halo 2 the Scarab gun skull. That should be really easy. Don't know about Halo 3 and Halo 4 yet, but I'll try.

Nope. I honestly had a rough time on heroic in Halo 2. It got better as I played and got used to the game again... but even at my best, Legendary isn't a cakewalk. Let alone with skulls.
I'm just going through all of them on heroic at the moment
Well, if the stars align and the servers shine bright, I would like to coop them with you fine gentlemen.
Forget it, Stinkles. It's NeoGAF.
Having played through most of the H2A campaign, I think it's safe to say that the work Saber did on the Forerunner structures might be my favorite style I've seen in any of the games. It heavily borrows from the cleaner look Halo 4 introduced, but it retains the stenciled repeating patterns and a little more of the boxy Forerunner aesthetic. Looks really nice, and I think nicely bridges the old and new, where CEA would sometimes push it too far.
Also, the H2A Elite designs are probably my favorite after the OG Halo 2 Elites, so taking inspiration from these guys for a faction of H5 Elites sounds good to me
Problem is, if you're going for those achievements, Scarab gun nullifies achievements.
Definitely going to need to go into a lobby for those, just to see what Halo 2 skulls count as LASO. Because you can do the camo glitch with Envy, but then there's the Armory skull that essentially makes camo useless...
So, with these skulls on, that still counts for completion, it just isn't scored is that right?
(I feel like this was covered on HaloGAF before, but I wasn't following it that closely)
Who?Did yall know Homeboyd's white??
Not sure if Halo CE on MCC has Generic Weapon set, but that's the way to get AR/Pistol starts in OG Halo CE. There are some settings to make the leader in a game move slower in a game, and the losers to move faster, speed handicaps essentially. You got to turn all that shit off, most things you just want to say No to, there are a lot of things like that with Respawns, move speed, etc.

They work but only in game and there's no file browser. So you basically have to have the person either in your lobby or on your friends list.

Halo MCC is great when it works, so hopefully the patches get things running smooth.
Halo 2 Anniversary SP is pretty cool. I can't help but feel like it's art feels like Halo 3, with a better poly count and more scenery detail. It's got a cool look most of the time.
Nightfall is good so far. That review site that trashed it is a joke.
Halo 5: I was too caught up in the MCC launch fun to follow everything. Any good links to screens, summaries and videos?

I have a question- is the team aware of the host boot ability bug/exploit in H2A? I figured that if they were aware of it, it wouldn't be listed on the "Known Issues" to avoid drawing attention to it and teaching more people about it. I'm even a bit loathe to mention it for the same reason, but I want to make sure it's on the to do list
Is that still working? It worked in the first few games I played early yesterday but seemed to be fixed later last night. Never saw the option again.
Don't underestimate the scarab gun skull. You will kill yourself most of the time.
Happened at least for me and elzar

I haven't checked since yesterday. Glad to hear it has been fixed already. I was worried about that one

Yeah that was another weird setting, we were spawning with pistols only, no AR. Thanks

It drove me crazy, I've never finished the campaign on the 360.
How did THAT come up in conversation?Did yall know Homeboyd's white??
Ram wouldn't start the game until he confirmed Homeboyd was not black.
Sure. What's your GT?
Are you sure? What's the point of them saying Legendary All Skulls On, if that's not the case?
Not sure. Didn't know there is a playlist for LASO.
Yeah, I know.

Hyperbole, you get the idea... I lol almost every time I see it.
Do you happen to have that Reach one with the team failing to get the warthog and enemy flag out of the base with the "HaloGAF" text on hand?
Stinkles would NOT be pleased to hear about this...

Yeah, I know.
They added a bunch of skulls, but for LASO purposes it's only counting more "traditional" difficulty skulls. That's different for Halo 1 and Halo 2 than the "canonized" Halo 3 and 4 options. This is the list according to Waypoint forums:

H1 and H2 LASO are going to be brutal, with lack of auto aim especially. Interestingly, though, CEA doesn't require Iron?
