If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

Yeah Infinity is halo 4 multiplayer. Bizarrely and stupidly 343 decided that spartan ops (not available in MCC), which you can play entirely local co-op just like the campaign, also is part of Infinity and thus requires gold.

That's fine I have gold, just so long as its all there and I never have to boot up the 360 version that's cool with me.

I think it required gold on 4 too.

Two bugs already: can't change my service tag for some reason, lets me set it but then it just stays 117. Also started up Halo 4 and on the second level I pushed a button while Cortana was talking and it wouldn't progress further, had to restart. No biggie though.

Oh my god Halo 1 looks loving beautiful on this. Are they doing AA on top of the 1080? Its so loving crisp. There's definitely some odd stutter here and there though, hopefully that's just because its still installing the other campaigns and so the disc and HDD are busy. Console games tend to heavily use the HDD for cache, although with a "play while you install" feature that can be a problem.

Just did split screen customs with online friends, and we had a blast. Halo CE and 2 run extremely well. H2:A ran surprisingly well. Matchmaking didn't work unfortunately. It's great doing split screen online with guys locally playing along with other people online. Maybe next time I can get a LAN and invite people from Xbox Live so we can do big team games.

Edit: alcohol may or may not have been involved :ninja:

Do we get the remade Halo Anniversary maps? I guess not since they were Reach engine?

But we do get the Halo Anniversary campaign... (which was half reach half 1 right?)

Well that kinda sucks too.

On the bright side having all the halo 1 maps for multi online, even the Halo PC maps, that's super cool.

Ah the nostalgia, walking around hang em high...

There is so many anti-halo design choices all-the-gently caress over this game that is pretty obvious its a quick cash-in and not a love letter to halo fans or any other bullshit they try to spin it as.

They should make those maps just vehicles only, you spawn in one and you just crash into each other constantly, gets more and more heated as the battlefield is littered with corpses and vehicle parts.

I like how the xbone thread has spread into the Halo thread. The best part is watching the halo fans get pissed at MS and then watching the hugbox regulars do mental gymnastics to convince everyone it's all okay in the end. I'm gonna need to go to the store and pick up some more popcorn, guys.

Regardless this is still one of those titles I feel you should get right. Halo is an important thing to MS and 343 already screwed the pooch once.

What consumer confidence will be left for H5 at this rate.

You are really overestimating how much the common consumer cares. Look at everyone who swore they'd never buy another Battlefield game after Bad Company 2 launched in a broken and messy state, yet all those same people bought BF3, and when that launched in a broken and messy state they said they'd never buy another Battlefield game. And then Battlefield 4 came out...

The sheer number of people making excuses for this game in this thread and elsewhere kinda proves this. Likewise, Assassin's Creed Unity has a huge number of apologists as well. AAA game series' very, very VERY rarely suffer even from multiple poo poo titles in a row.

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
I'm glad I mostly bought this for the campaigns and LAN play because Jesus gently caress anything involving the internet in this game is godawful. Here's a sequence of what I went through today:
  • Joined up with two buddies
  • Try to matchmake into a Halo 3 game, nothing happened
  • Back out, party got split up and couldn't rejoin each other
  • Buddies have to reset their Xboxes to rejoin
  • Try to H3 matchmake again, same thing happens
  • Decide to play H3 campaign co-op instead, but the lag is so bad the opening cutscene is stuttering and the music cues are out of sync
  • Quit the campaign, which booted one of my friends from the party
  • After quitting H3, the game suddenly, without me selecting anything, starts an H4 campaign game with the remaining friend :stare:
  • Sit through H4 opening cutscene, missing friend can't join in progress once it's over
  • Quit the H4 campaign game, party up again and restart the H4 game
  • Lag is so bad that when we reach the part 2 minutes in where you have to mash a button to open a door, the lag makes it impossible to complete
  • Give up and go play H1 campaign solo
Someone please tell me that LAN games at least work okay, because if not this might have been one of the worst game purchases I've ever made.

Is it too much to ask that maybe they add some things? (much less everything working :v:) Like, it'd be really cool if they added rally points to let you start at different points in the Halo 1 campaign, but nahhh.
