Is there any difference between Reach on the MCC and just playing the 360 Reach since it’s BC?

Enhanced graphics settings (seems like just draw distance) and I guess new matchmaking/netcode stuff

I hate the campaign of these games but I'm fairly hype about playing the multiplayer drunk.

Having fun with the reach campaign 4p co-op with the skull that pops you back to a checkpoint when someone dies. It kind of felt like we were just meandering forward until we turned that on

The vs is fun too but I prefer the modes where you don't start with the battle rifle.

Just tried co-op and there's 2 seconds of lag because of internet play peer to peer. As expected the lag isn't present on local network

If this happens to anyone else, I had to go to downloads and there's a 10 MB Halo Reach profile needed before it can start.

A few months ago they did a promotion where you could spend a dollar to upgrade your remaining XBL Gold time to Game Pass Ultimate for $1 so I redeemed my excess store points to get three years of Gold before doing it :cool:

Playing through these games makes me realize that the one thing missing from Destiny that really kills it for me is the lack of fun vehicle levels. Some of the best parts of Halo games are the missions where you and your buddies are driving around in warthogs and scorpion tanks and banshees and stuff and there’s essentially none of that in Destiny. The main storyline of Destiny 2 has one level where you drive a Cabal tank for a few minutes and that’s the only one I can remember.... There isn’t any real equivalent to the warthog at all in either Destiny and that just really blows.

I guess Bungie decided to ditch having a few dozen unique weapons with their own diverse roles in favor of grinding the same few weapon types, and throw out fun exciting vehicle segments in favor of grinding the same few weapon types, and scrap consistently good memorable level design in favor of grinding the same few weapon types, and get rid of friendly AI units in favor of grinding the same few weapon types, and have a compelling universe with characters that aren’t just Marvel Cinematic Joss Whedon a Universe quip quip quipsters in favor of grinding the same few weapon types.

Yeah the only vehicles that feel good to ride and fleshed out in Destiny are the sparrows but they're basically WoW mounts, just something you use for traversal out of combat. Every other pilotable vehicle basically feels like it was programmed for a 5 minute turret setpiece

they're already selling the consoles at a loss and are basically giving away all the games. i think it's just part of the long game of having microsoft be relevant next gen because theres no loving way theyre making money off this lol

God this is so loving true it’s sad. The game could be so much fun if it didn’t require a crew of six to do the end game content, with the only alternative being grinding our exotic weapon ”quests” which is the most tedious content in the game.

you can still do this. load up on XBL gold time, then do the $1 thing, all that time gets converted to gamepass ultimate time
