The pistol in Halo:CE is just a DMR that kills in three shots instead of four

The real scary part would be if they had the aim assist from reach in halo 1 CE.

Any more word yet about getting the sound issues on PC fixed? I'm not touching Halo Chief Master Reach again until such time as those things are cared for and given the word of our lord.

This week's update is about modding and the history of Halo modding, which is neat if only to see Microsoft actively talk about hacking the original Xbox and talking to guys called "GameCheat", but there's also some neat things about things they want to do in future updates.

Big update: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update-january-2020 Lots of little tweaks, bug fixes, new playlists Honestly sounds pretty decent Also some teasers:    They have all the Halo games running on PC internally, which is promising to hear. Working on mouse & keyboard inputs and aspect ratio and stuff.

That third pic looks good though; Halo 3 I'm assuming, and it looks like they got rid of the god awful bloom. Hope it stays that way. Halo 3 was really ugly.

The Kins posted:They're still working on it, and on pre-emptively making sure it doesn't happen to the other games. They mention that the public test for Halo 1 will also be testing a large update to Reach, so I'd be surprised if the audio fix isn't tested as part of that. Understood, thanks for the quick response!

I gotta admit I'd love to see freeze tag on BTB, it would never end. Scariest thing I seem to be really good at it, like I've only lost two games. The closest thing to a complaint I have about it is that games give almost no exp because kills are so rare.

I'm part of the Halo CE anniversary flight, multiplayer is working great but key bindings are messed up you can't have dual function keys apparently. the halo CE campaign is from the anniversary so it has the graphics switch however it uses the lovely new sounds instead of the classic Halo CE sounds. Halo Ce multiplayer has the classic sounds

Got into some kinda insider beta build for the MCC on PC, downloading it now. Apparently there's no restrictions on streaming it so there'll probably be lots of video of new halo poo poo soon. I'll post back after the download finishes on whether this includes Halo 1 or what

Yep, it does have Halo 1. And this is the final phase 4 of the closed testing, so its probably gonna go live very soon, they're just testing it on different hardware for bugs or whatever.  It runs really smooth on PC, and being able to flip back and forth instantly between classic and remastered graphics is pretty great.

February Developement Update. This one actively addresses the Reach audio issues and details some of the work being done to fix it.quote:Reach has some challenging technical hurdles - the foremost being the update and transfer of the audio signal path and processing scheme from the original release on Xbox 360. Since the underlying hardware architecture of the Xbox 360 is fundamentally different than our current Xbox One and PC platforms, our first internal pass involved an approximation of the PowerPC audio code and DSP.

I love this series but I'm starting to rapidly lose hope right now. Launching Reach without Forge was such a huge mistake. My brother and I have been keeping an eye on player counts and it fails to crack 4000 active daily players regularly. I know everyone's probably waiting for the next game update for it but without easy Forge access there's been no reason for tons of people to stick around. Couple that with the other bugs the release has had and we're both feeling pretty negative about the whole thing. 343 were sitting on gold with this release, but they fumbled everything post-launch, and the initial peak sales and players peak was people coming back for the fun of it, and then everyone left. I hope people return for Halo 1 and keep playing until the rest come out, but it sucks that my favorite game of them all launched first, was missing half its options that usually keep players around, and shed the rest of its playerbase as quickly as it did.

Halo is dead. Its been dead for a long time. Halo 4 AND Halo 5 both sucked donkey balls. This is just a relic project to port the old games to PC so we can play the good games Bungie made without having to be on Xbox. This game, the MCC, came out YEARS AGO on Xbox, and was itself a port of games that came out even more years ago on an even further past xbox console. What hope do you have? What do you think this is? Where do you think you are? If any of this was going to be anything but a disaster, it should have launched on PC when it launched on Xbox like 3 years ago. But the Xbox launch alone had endless disastrous errors. Did you hear nothing of that?

This is an attempt to squeeze the last bit of money left. I bought it because Halo 1-3 + ODST + Reach are good and I want them on PC. If you think this is going to be the next big eSport or something you're hilariously misinformed. My dudes the Master Chief Collection was released in 2014. And it was a disaster that took years to slowly fix. What do you think you're playing here?

I dunno man, I just hoped to revisit a series I loved and played a ton. A PC release should've had the potential to bring back plenty of players to the games. And for the first few days it did look like that. But then it nosedived, and people quickly realized without Forge or easy custom games access, there wasn't much to do in Reach. So we all played it a little bit longer but quickly fell off. I thought I'd end up sitting down and playing it a bunch more, going through campaign, enjoying the game and its design like I did years ago. I wanted that good feeling badly. But in the end, it just wasn't there. Based on all that, I suppose I can say I hyped myself up too much, but I just wanted to have fun with Halo again. I hadn't played the series since after 4 came out, because I lost my Reach disc and then my brother left all the rest of our discs with a friend who moved. I hadn't touched the series in over 5 years and just wanted that rush of Halo goodness once more, on a PC. I guess I got it for a few days. I just wished that feeling stuck around longer.
