God I think I remember that match. Falconry was an amazingly dumb gametype. :allears:

I need to grab my fileshare clips and upload them for the hell of it.

I totally remember playing falconry with goons way back then on reach.

I know they said no cross platform matchmaking (yet) but is it possible to cross play in private servers or something?

Sorted through the few clips I've saved and grabbed anything dumb or funny that looked like when I was playing with Goons. I love this game.

Those old live action ads were way too loving good, I wish so hard the actual game was more like this and less weird snarky adventure. The one for ODST is my absolute loving favorite.

I didn't really like the Halo 3 ones because I think the whole Messiah Chief angle was what killed the franchise, but the Birth of a Spartan ad for Reach was super loving well done.

If this port somehow sucks and I'm out forty bucks, I'm blaming all of you.

If it's somehow amazing, thanks y'all I'm hyped to check out this franchise.

So far the flights people have had very positive reactions and they've been fixing a lot of complaints about input lag. The *main* thing they haven't fixed that the community has griped about is how strong aim assist is for controllers.

Given that I suck at FPSes, I'm not mad at having an aggressive aim assist. :v:

Return of Mido

Took a look at the steam page for MCC collection and saw it'll require an Xbox Live account. Makes sense, and I can probably recover my old 360 account to work with it. Does anyone know if it requires an actual subscription though? I assume not since it's PC but I could see MS doing something dumb like requiring XBL Gold for it.

it doesn't require XL Gold

Microsoft has finally sort of gotten with the program with PC support.

Ugh, I went to try and login to my XBL account and it's attached to an email I no longer use, with a password I forgot, and a purchase history tied to a credit card that's easily 6 years expired or longer that I don't remember the number for. I might just make a new account entirely because it seems unlikely I'll get back into my original account, and they're saying it could take 24 hours for them to verify if I gave them enough info to let me in.

Don't you just have a Microsoft account with your main email? that should work just fine. I have a Microsoft account that is just my gmail email address

I dug around more and managed to get into the account. Apparently I'd transferred the account to my current email at some point in the past, so I have no idea what program or email their site thought they still had on file for me. Regardless, it looks like I'll be fine when it comes time to play tomorrow.

Question about the discord server linked in the OP. I clicked it and didn't recognize the server name at all, and also saw it had thousands of members. Is that a Games subforum server? I was expecting one just for us playing Halo.

Do we get all the armor customization from Reach or is it just a handful of armor sets like the rest of MCC did? This is important

I was hugely excited for Halo back when it was going to be a PC MMOFPS and ran a fan site and similar 90s teenage wastes of life. When it ended up being X-box (1 (the first)), I rented one and beat it in one sitting, decided it was the best FPS on console, but also consoles are terrible platforms for FPS. So here's my $40 for Halo on the PC, Bungie, 20 years later and in Microsoft's pocket instead.
