Think the goon clan will be larger than the Destiny clan? http://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/313913

It'll be better supported ingame that's for sure (clans are entirely useless in Destiny)

Will still have MCC exclusive remakes and post-release map packs and a $50 Season Pass.

Seriously? It's confirmed to have dlc? I was considering an xbone just for this but not if that's the case.

All of those 15 are Blood Gulch.

I disliked most of the Blood Gulch remakes, they never captured the feeling of 1. Halo 2 had the issue at launch where it'd be Coagulation all the time with SMGs as the default primary.

Coagulation, Blood Gulch and Hemorrhage are all lovely, garbage maps and I wish they'd loving die and never come back. Blood Gulch worked ok with the limitations of H1 but Coagulation was just a pile of dicks and Hemorrhage was just awful thanks to the marksman rifle.

Yeah. Blood Gulch was great but all the subsequent iterations were meh as gently caress. If the H1 playlist has proper 2v2 CTF...

Wow Xbone Halo 2 can only support 2 player splitscreen online? That's loving hilarious.

The re-done H2 multiplayer death X's look worse than original H2. They hardly stand out at all.

It should be noted that the "remade" maps will also play differently from standard H2. Weapons were rebalanced, maps were changed, they added the ability to spawn with different loadouts, etc.

It's upsetting that more games don't straight up emulate older games. Stuff like Pandora Tomorrow and Halo 2 had better maps/multiplayer systems than tons of stuff coming out these days.

Downloading 20 gigs sucks no matter what connection you're on. Even if you're on t1 or w/e the gently caress that's still a couple minutes of waiting when you just wanna play your new game! Let alone slow connections where it's fuckin days! Not including a second install disk is pretty lame...just another example of the current hardware being in effect worse than the last gen..

Lmao. Of course the MCC is good, we've already played all the good games in it. I really want to get an xbone exclusively for the MCC but it'll probably be a bit before I can find one for $200-$250 :sigh:

(I'll buy Halo 5 when it's like 10 bux)

343 are really lovely devs. That's already been proven. Everyone knows halo 5 is gonna suck. The fuckin' halo 4 online was worse than Halo 2.

I dunno man you'd think they'd give it their all when they'd been handed one of the largest IPs in gaming history but all the did was make it as much like CoD as possible :shrug: And on the technical side all the menus and options were extremely lacking.

Halo 4 isn't remotely anything like CoD.
Destiny is way closer and you are a lot less dismissive of that game.

Things 343 added: killstreaks, no weapons on map, killcam, instant spawn, reduced ttk, unlocking stuff for loadouts, sprint for all
things 343 removed: a bunch of stuff that had been in Halo forever

literally everything they changed made it more like cod but ok buddy

Not at launch at least. They announced the playlist lineup on Saturday and it's a little different from what IGN posted last month.

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/matchmaking-playlist-lineup-update

'The gently caress, that's the main reason I'd want this. Seems like a no-brainer to just separate the playlists based upon halo 1/2/3/4 and then let people choose slayer or objective or ctf or whatever for each of those games. Putting in general "Team Slayer" playlists that contain every game seems like something they should have waited to do once the populations die down.
