Maybe because I have a PAL copy of the but SCII is certainly running at a low res and in true widescreen on the 360.
Most games had added AA but I don't know any that are up ressed. Still though some games like Jade Empire would show a lot more detail when upscaled, I remember testing it at each resolution and the tattoo on his back got a lot sharper as I went up.

I still don't get how the hell Ghosts made it on before MW2.

As far as I know there has only been crimson skies announced. They Never said anything about the OG Xbox games that were compatible with the 360 being compatible with Xbox One.

I'm willing to bet it's because that's what Activision wanted.

BACK-COMPAT BLOWOUT
The Xbox Ones list of backward compatible titles has grown by leaps and bounds since the initial wave of games came out in 2015, with nearly three hundred Xbox 360 titles currently supported. Today were thrilled to announce four more very special additions coming later this year to the Xbox One back-compat program: Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo 4, and Halo: CE Anniversary!

Master Chief collection that actually works. Look how well COD Ghosts was received... Fuck you back compat team, you made something great for the fans and allowed marketing to subvert it. Back to normal right? one week of releases of which one day had value after a dry month and now another week of no releases.
It's like we refuse to get MCC working but here is the games backwards compatible.

It's possible that they can't without committing to a complete overhaul.
They should at least offer these games for free to people who bought MCC.

They should probably commit to a complete overhaul in that case.
Like they'd give up a chance to charge people for something a second time.

As a single-player experience, I feel the MCC is good enough, but I realize a lot of people still feel burned by the shortcomings in MP. From everything I've ever read, that project was a nightmare that sounded a lot easier to pull-off on paper than it was in real-life. It took longer and cost more than they ever anticipated and even then it still has some major issues. I don't expect them to ever fix it the way people want it to work due to the costs involved that they would never re-coup.
That being said, it's not that the 360 Halo games shouldn't be BC, but they probably shouldn't have made an announcement about it. If they were smart they should've just quietly showed up one day. By making noise, they're just re-opening old wounds and creating an opportunity for MCC bitterness to surface again.
They're not charging us to play the older games we already own on the X1. Both Sony and Nintendo do this so that's worth something.

I'll tell you what's happened, Microsoft marketing creamed thier fucking pants when BLOPII charted and want some of that action, bumping the Halo games to the top of the list of titles to work on. That's probably why we are not getting anything.

Just look at the top list of most requested titles to become BC, many already have a Xbox One version:
Skyrim 177 391 votes
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare - 119 953 votes
Batman Arkham City - 78 093 votes
GTA V - 60 815 votes
Batman Arkham Asylum - 58 558 votes
Halo 4 - 57 168 votes
Halo 3 - 55 149 votes
Dishonored - 41 867 votes
Halo 3 ODST - 35 567 votes
So even though they already have a version on Xbox One, there are still many who wants these titles to become BC.

The second half of Halo 3 was ruined for me by audio bugs. I didn't play a level in the single half of the game that didn't have the music drop out, then restart, then drop out again; sound effects drop for entire levels; and cut scenes where Chief's audio tracks didnt play, along with occasional other VA dropping out, playing over top of other, or popping in minutes late. This isn't even mentioning the 34 minute load time it took to pull up my saved game in the Covenant stage.
Oh, and I just played it this past weekend with all the most recent updates applied.
Single player is just as broken as multi.
Agreed, If Microsoft is so commited to the Halo franchise, they need to step it up, I think they have done more damage with MCC being terrible and how Halo 5 is. It's just a shame they treated a once great franchise like this.
I have no issue with the games becoming BC, I think that's a great thing but they should be fixing MCC as well.
Sweet. Beats paying £4 for ODST through the MCC when GAME has it for £1.49 used.
I'm not entirely sure it does tbh.
Why not? Bar not having to bother with a disc I don't see any other advantage.
1080p 60fps vs 720p 30fps. To save £2.50. And you have to give the £1.50 to GAME.
MCC ODST doesn't have Firefight.
Fair point. Had forgotten about that.

I'll never understand why Firefight was left out
It's bizarre. It's not just Halo MCC. The digital 360 version of ODST doesn't have Firefight either. Was there some license issue for some part of it?
Main reason why this new excites me. There was just something special about the barebones version of firefight that was introduced in odst.
