I thought you were the cursed one?

No, you got it twisted.

Whenever he changes his twitter to add the companies he is fan of, bad things happen.

When he added DICE, they released the broken B4.

When he added Irrational, and made the OT for the DLC, the company closed its doors week later.

When he added Naughty Dog, major internal development staff jumped ship.

The only one not effected is Bungie, but that is questionable because major staff also left.​

Now he has put his hope in 343i? Yeah, no. We doomed.

[Kibbles]

Halo 3 MCC footage tomorrow?

Sweet I hope people record it (in 60fps)

 

[HTupolev]

CE's graphics still look like a bad port of Halo PC CONFIRMED?

 

[Nebula]

I understand that 343 want to show off H2A as it's the main selling point but some H:CE and Halo 3 gameplay would be fantastic to see prior to launch. Just so we know what we're dropping money on, y'know?

Or maybe they're just in a crunch doing testing on them?

 

[Ramirez]

Could CE on PC not achieve 1080/60 or something? I don't understand why you need to see it.

I actually don't know the answer to this but I think they mainly want to see the netcode for it. But no way were seeing MCC on an Internet connection until we get it in our hands lol

 

[Slightly Live]

CEA wasn't 1080/60 on 360.

I just wanna see Halo 3.

 

[TheOddOne]

Maybe because it was never planned to be included initially? The leak made no mention of CE.

 

[Welfare]

No Halo CE gameplay till launch? I am saddened Wanted to see 1080p/60fps Halo 1 multiplayer, since I'll really only be playing that and the Halo 2 Multi.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Long-ass Halo line was long. Looks great at 60fps though. Maybe I can play Sunday.

 

[PachinkoChampBruh]

maybe they say eff it and include reach multi as well.

 

[HTupolev]

Could CE on PC not achieve 1080/60 or something?

It can, but its got some graphical issues, and CEA's Classic Mode is worse.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

It's a done deal folks. White Xbox One Sunset Overdrive bundle preordered. I could never let -Ryn down. Halo homies 4 life.

They CErtainly wouldn't release a poor version of it, would they?

dun do diss to me stinkles

I hope not. I'm really looking forward to some original Halo multiplayer, but I don't need to see it before launch. I freakin lived it. Just need 343 and the warden of Halo to deliver.

Fake, he doesn't have hair.

Always considered that, and what kind of confirmed it to me was the emphasis on how this only happened thanks to Dan Ayoub, CE specifically IIRC.

Nice, you don't have to stay out anymore :]

 

[El_Chino]

Hey Halo GAF, any Halo MCC 1080x1920 wallpapers(Note 3) floating around?

 

[-Ryn]

Listen new guy...I like you.

No, you got it twisted.

The true curse is liking Halo.

MCC will break the cycle!

Hey I'm a member now! When did that happen?

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Not sure if CyReN has posted this yet but...

Baseball cards are definitely out! OG menu layout seems to be returning.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Huh. What's up with the "The Master Chief Saga" above a bunch of the names?

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Why not just "The Master Chief Saga" with those friends grouped alphabetically under that one header? Too much unnecessary space being taken up IMO.

Maybe it's just placeholder, but either way I like how they're going back to that design.

 

[belushy]

I like the placement of the clan tag above the players, too.

 

[Poker Face]

a HUGE improvement over baseball cards, I just wish we could see more gametype info.

 

[The Librarian]

Excellent work, 343. That menu looks great.

 

[Altered Juice]

mmhm looks juicy!

 

[Dub117]

Yep dat menu.

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Maybe it's just placeholder, but either way I like how they're going back to that design.

This, they probably don't have the UI tags ready for the different lobbies (i.e. Campaigns, Multi, Forge, etc) for whatever reason, but there's no way it's going to look that redundant in the final UI build.

 

[BigShow36]

Excellent work, 343. That menu looks great.

Its gotten to the point where we're just stoked they didn't blow one of the most basic elements of the game.

 

[Pfhunkie]

Elephant in the room #1. All I care about is stable netcode; they don't need to touch anything else. Of course, this most likely means the netcode will be questionable, at best.

It would be awful if it has Halo PC's default netcode. There's no way people on the Xbox will deal with that. Seeing as how, as silly as it might sound, I was getting the Xbox One and MCC primarily for Halo: Combat Evolved with a ranking system, this will be an absolute tragedy to me. Would be better off just sticking with Halo PC servers that have the no lead fix. If that fails, I guess I'll still be holding on to some small amount of hope for an FoV increase in Halo 3.

Looks really nice. I'm glad to see the baseball cards aren't returning (at least in this aspect of the game). I love the loo Metroqqa UI but it looked like a mess in Halo 4 and I much prefers this set up.

Yesssssssssssssssssss

 

[CyReN]

Thanks for posting, sorry for the obnoxious watermark.

With that, really like how it is. Even Otto approves the changes coming to H2A

 

[User 73706]

dat nexa bold tho

 

[belushy]

Yeah, they should make the "Start Game" button smaller and fit in gametype info. Don't really need Map description to be honest.

 

[Defect]

Menu is looking great.

I'm honestly very worried about the fate of CE...I got a bad feeling about it.

 

[Madness]

Damn, 343 is hitting all the right notes. If Candland approves too, you know you're doing it good. Does this mean the main menu unified stuff they showed could change as well?

 

[Orochinagis]

I thought you were the cursed one?

Bearer of the curse.....seek...

I need a console....again....

 

[wwm0nkey]

Also Y to change teams! I can't even remember how to do that in Halo 4

Just needs to show the custom game options/type and we are good.

 

[BigShow36]

I'm honestly very worried about the fate of CE...I got a bad feeling about it.

Its going to be the make or break point for me and a lot of other people I imagine. I'm not holding out much hope; maybe similar to a good XBC connection.

 

[User 73706]

creorder panceled

What's your biggest fear? The netcode and matchmaking/dedicated servers?

 

[pacman85]

Think another reason they are not showing much/any Halo CE stuff is we already got the Anniversary edition just a few years so it will seem like it's the least improved (next to Halo 4 of course since that came out even more recently)?

 

[BigShow36]

What's your biggest fear? The netcode and matchmaking/dedicated servers?

Yes, as I've said before, they could do nothing except give me CE playable online with good netcode and I'd be happy.

 

[Ramirez]

It makes sense to not show it, because your average consumer would look at CE and think, "lol what is this a Wii game"...so yea.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Nice, you don't have to stay out anymore :]

Hell yeahhhhhh.

dat UI got me hyped

 

[-Ryn]

Bearer of the curse.....see...

I've actually been playing through that again because I finally got myself a computer

Spoiler

HOLY SHIT I'M SO HAPPY

and it is glorious. The load times are non existent. Then there's the fact that it's gorgeous. So good.

 

[Tawpgun]

They have plenty of room under the map screen to add the Halo 2 style gametype and settings decriptions. Make it a true Halo 2 Anniversary
