Halo The Master Chief Collection |OT| Halo Never Died, It Was Just Missing In Action

Because this is a product that goes well beyond the MP aspects, a huge chunk of single player content that for the most part works a hell of a lot better than the MP.

Bizarro world
Pretty sure the reason the game is what it is today is for the MP and why most ppl buy it.
I havent even beat a halo campaign since halo 2 and ive owned them all.
Didn't 343 mention recently that almost half of the people who buy Halo games and sign into Xbox Live never touch multiplayer and only play single player?
I think it's silly to say it's stupid for someone to buy this for only the single player, and vice-versa. Halo campaigns are still some of the best single player shooter campaigns on consoles
Halo exploded like it did because it was great all around.

If I start a mission, I will finish it in one go, for the reason you stated.
Nice for you. Even still I get animal error codes randomly or booted from Raids and Strikes, and half the time at least one of my friends can't use voice chat in game and has to reboot.

Bingo.
I have a group of friends who don't play video games except for Halo 1. They bought new consoles specifically so they could play Halo 1 online. One of them specifically had me mute the main menu of Halo whenever we were at LAN parties because he can't stand the "damn chanting bullshit".
All kinds of people like Halo, and they should all be given a functional product.

How do you access the CE Anniversary maps in the custom game panel? Trying to do local splitscreen and all I get is the original maps :/

i have a question that im sure has been answered but I cant find it.
does the retail copy allow you to install and not have to swap discs?
obviously the digital one does but im curious how it works on the retail?

It really is crazy how different 3 is from 1 and 2.

This game does not include Halo Reach.
There are no CE Anniversary maps

High five.
I actually want the H1 playlist to be a mix of games including 4v4, 6v6 and 8v8. Many of the maps excel at 16 players and we'd be really missing out without big games. Give us all of it in the CE playlist.
hardly. they are a shell of their former selves with regard to this. I almost feel like I'm seeing Activision updates instead of Bungie.

Oh... I thought they did.
I don't get this if it's a joke :/ sorry. New to Halo.

The CE Anniversary MP was just a map pack and set of playlists for Halo Reach. This game does not include Halo Reach.

A little disappointed with this due to the amount of problems I and others I know have experienced so far. It feels like it was pushed out the door too early just to meet the 11th of November anniversary date. Wouldn't have minded a delay if it had meant things would run a bit more smoothly on release. I sincerely hope 343 has all the time they need to get Halo 5 content complete and working right for release.
this. I feel like a lot of people don't realize that the CEA maps were just a Reach DLC
Yes, but still better than 3 weeks ago. They stumbled but recovering; next week should be very cool with the updates. Hopefully 343 will fix MCC by Tuesday the latest. Sucks the weekend is shot.

Halo CE:Anniversary used Reach as the multiplayer engine.

Why Tuesday?
I've said this before and I'm going to say it again, MCC needs to change up how it selects maps/game types. This collection had 100+ maps and I keep seeing the same dozen over and over because everyone keeps voting for them. I know Lockout is a great map but I still get sick of it after the 5th game in a row on it.
The Mario Kart 8 weighed random selection or a straight up "this is what you're playing and that's final" system would open the door for a bit more variety in the multiplayer experience.

I think thats NAT related though, at least the voice chat thing.

Don't worry hang for a bit and 3 more will jo... Oh wait I'm told that's bad for Halo. SMH
Oh simply because it'll be sooner than later. Also GTA comes out and they could really use the positive buzz to draw some people back in.

I don't think so. All NATs are open and it doesn't happen every time.
Voice chat on the X1 is just buggy and has been since launch. Remember when you couldn't chat in the Destiny beta unless Party Chat was snapped?

I hope so. But it's been two months. So we should give 343 at least a week before the pitchforks come out.

Frankie posted that 15 hours ago. Not that new.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Right there with you - and it's amazing how many people pick Slayer. Like... I feel like I'm the only person who wants to play objective games.

Someone (maybe you?) had previously explained the Mario Kart 8 method to me and I thought it sounded beautiful, if I've got this right.
(I'm clarifying not for your benefit because you obviously already know about it)
It is not simple majority rule. Each vote has weight and simply makes it more likely that a map gets chosen. If a map only gets 1 out of 8 votes, it still had a 1 out of 8 chance of being the winning map. Lower odds, but still in the running. Like throwing votes into a hat.
It sounds perfect for letting the majority get to play what they want to play while still allowing the minority to get their way once in a while.
MCC needs this (after they actually have MM working in the first place along with a slew of other fixes).

If this shit isn't working by the end of the weekend, I'm taking this back and buying Call of Duty. At least CoD works.

I've missed Halo. Played some customs since launch, excited still for when MM is actually functioning.
Since they already have an entire playlist dedicated to Team Slayer, it would only make sense to have more objective-only playlists.

Just played a few games on Team Slayer split screen with my roommate. Only problem was it put us on opposite teams

I just played my first match after searching for about 6 minutes.
It was an H2A match 6v4 and my team got destroyed.
I went negative by a lot.
I didn't notice any lag though.
After the match I got stuck on a loading screen.

I dont understand why some idiots do wait to enter a game with such server issues just to spoil even more other players experience. Thats really stupid. =

So I've been seeing a lot around here that Halo 2 has the best story of the series. Suprised by that cause I have always heard bad things... One more mission in CE and I'm gonna start H2A and judge for myself.
As someone who's played both, and has played Call of Duty games for years, I can attest that not only does Advanced Warfare work, it's one of the best in the franchise. You have no idea how much double-jumping/power-strafing adds to the game. Not to mention there's always a full party waiting in one of the myriad playlists.
And the campaign is one of the best for the series, too! The toys are great and Kevin Spacey gives a phenomenal performance.

There is only one disc....
Welcome to halo, wait until people start de-ranking. Still, fight through the pain
I wish proximity chat was on by default, that would be more fun.

That loading screen. It's about a 40% chance that it freezes on me.

It's pretty crazy how this is the THIRD GAME where a tie goes to the map that appears first instead of choosing randomly between ties (50/50 or 33/33/33 % chances of being picked when votes are tied).
I never understood why, and as far as I know, they've never explained why either. It's such an archaic design choice.
Fixed2BeBroken
Member
oh wow really? i thought there was one for single and one for multi... maybe i will get the retail version then
Yep, the Mario Kart 8 system is pretty much perfect for what Halo needs. I've also never really understood why the first game shown/to the left always wind a tie.
