Can't believe this comes out in just under a week. Still have SO, D4 and FH2 to finish  Was never a big fan of the multiplayer in the Halo games as I was a FPS KB+M master race only player back then, so it will be good to see what all the fuss is about!

It's okay guys Nerds getting out of control over 5 seconds of video as usual. The people in the thread with the best gaming console will be able to tell you first hand what it's like in 6 weeks anyway, not long now!  I'll give MCC a twitch stream tonight early as well if anyones interested? It unlocks for me in like 14 hours.

Only 2 hours into Halo 1 and I feel my purchase is already justified lol. Can't wait to bash through all 4 of them although I never played 4 so I'm ready to be disappointed.

Halo 1 (one) is way harder than I remember. Died so much Not sure I got the end cinematic for finishing it either, but my menu progress says 10/10. Yeah MP launch has gone down the shitter it seems, looks to be on 343's side: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status quote:Xbox members, are you having a tough time matchmaking in Halo: The Master Chief Collection?

loving the thruster packs and ground slams. 343 definitely has the right idea by slapping the halo skin over the latest cod game, it worked great for halo 4 and it will work great here. this franchise is in good hands

ShineDog posted:If theres no penalty for hipfire and no slowdown for ADS it's pretty much nothing more than a mild camera zoom, right? CoD and most other games functionally change how the gun and your character operate while the irons are up. It's pretty much changing the fov with an animation and you get returned to default view if you get shot. Pretty much all the haters in this thread are known trolls though, Fame Douglas literally has 9Gb (or was it 15Gb?) of ram in his gaming PC.

Abu Dave posted:Playing through the single player, there is NO loving way Halo 1 and 2 Looked this bad before. It's jaw dropping. Yeah I honestly don't remember there being so many enemies as well and being able to get 1 shot by things. I also don't remember having to actively avoid some fights (final stand) because there are too many enemies? I guess I was playing 2/4 player split screen back then so it was probably a heap easier.

I would have suggested getting the Sunset Overdrive bundle since that game is sweet as well, but it's pretty much sold out everywhere CoD and Unity are poo poo so you're stuck there bundle wise. Maybe check out Target or the MS store or something for a deal. Alternatively some Halo sperg will sell his console in protest because the MP wasn't working in the first 24 hours of it being released so you might be able to snatch up a cheap 2nd hand one

With the way unity is reviewing/performing, you're way better off getting the CoD bundle you also get a cooler controller too!

Yeah they are, there's been messages about "changing host", etc. but that is just who is the leader of the game (can kick people, etc.). Silly wording on their part.

vulvamancer posted:Reading this thread has been good for me. I had basically committed to getting the PS4 as my next gen, even though I really dislike PS controllers and I'm a big halo fan. I just couldn't countenance Microsoft's original "you don't own your games" plan and didn't want to reward them even after they'd changed it. Seeing commercials for this collection made me doubt my choice but with how big of a gently caress up this game appears to be I feel a little better about my plan.  You bought something you don't like or enjoy to protest against another big corporations plan that they never went through with anyway?

Yeah it patches you to the latest version of the game before installing the base content, which is really good for most games but with the 15Gb patch for Halo it's generally not a suitable option

A A 2 3 5 8 K posted:If I don't care about multiplayer and I've never played any of the Halo games, is this worth getting for the single-player experience? Is that part working right now or is it broken like the multiplayer? I have not had any issues playing Halo CE or H2A single player as of yet (aside from dying like a newb). I'm probably one of the lucky ones based on what I've seen on reddit/neogaf/etc. That or the time old "the unhappy minority always make the most noise".

Do we know if it will be back in 5? I honestly completely forgot about the dual wielding weapons in Halo 2 until I started playing it. It was an "oh yeah cool" moment and I dual wielded for a bit, but yeah I like my grenades

Soul Glo posted:Just wait on this game. If they manage to unfuck it, it'll be fun, but with each passing day it feels like that's becoming less likely. I'll probably give up hope myself if the (now delayed) patch doesn't make it what it should have been at launch. Yeah I'm riding my hopes on this too. I stopped playing the H2A campaign because I ran into the save bug. If it's still hosed then I'll be asking for a refund.

At least until I get a digital line not shared with a node. This doesn't really matter, once the line is congested everything is going to be dropped unless your network/isp uses some form of quality of service (preference to certain types of traffic).
