Halo: MCC Halo 3 in 1080p/60FPS Glory - IGN First

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Just saw the footage, and honestly. I can't tell visual difference and I don't really care. But boy I want to play this game real hard and 60fps really shows.
And the multiplayer is exactly Halo 3 even the medals? so we going to have different medals for each games? I thought it was all unified.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
It'd be interesting to see, as it places more load on the CPU thread dealing with the split-screen rendering.

This is very important to me too. Halo 4 online splitscreen multiplayer's (oftentimes) unplayable frame rate is still fresh in my mind. I'll be very happy if splitscreen across all games and modes is smooth!

Is 4 players split screen multiplayer still in?
Is it gonna be 60 FPS?

Fucking worthless gun.
Halo 3 makes me feel so underpowered as an individual player.
Visuals over substance, are we becoming this?

Halo 3 looks gorgeous, but I was a bit disappointed to see the LOD dithering effect still in action.
It's hard to tell for sure due to compression but looks like the UI is still using the original assets. That was the only thing that really stuck out to me. But yeah if that dithering is there thats kinda bad as well.

I have a really really hard time understand why that POV was chosen

I take it you haven't played Reach.
If I get an XBone between now and Xmas. It wouldn't be for this collection. Played all the games to death already on the previous consoles.
Nope, they did adjust the shaders though. It's not the 10 year anniversary of 3.

Playing Reach only reinforces how good Halo 3 was and I think that's the case for a lot of the fans of the original trilogy. I recently checked up my stats in Reach played compared to games played in 3 and the difference was astounding.

Preach, brother
Not this fan. Halo 3 was Bungle's Return of the Jedi. There's no way they could live up to the cliffhanger of Halo 2, so they relied on fan service, character assassinations (Arbiter and Prophet of Truth) and half-filled promises to craft perhaps the most anti-climatic trilogy "finale" imaginable. Even the multiplayer took the refined perfection of Halo 2 and threw it out the window for broken equipment, piss poor weapon balance and floaty movement and controls. Much like Destiny, that was a game that was sold purely on marketing and hype alone. Thankfully, Reach remedied some of those issues, while adding many of its own. But it's still the more competent and refined game.
I downloaded the file from IGN for local playback and there are definitely frame drops.

If a new gen console, couldnt play an old gen game at 1080p60....
I dont get why are we getting remakes/remasters of 5 year old games, THAT STILL LOOK GOOD ! IF you want to remake something, please do remakes of 10+ year old games.
A simple fps and resolution boost doesnt justify re-releasing an old game, it just strikes me as a cashgrab, selling twice the same thing to the customer. Besides what made sense 5 years ago, and was a novelty (story wise) is gone now, and lives in our memories with amazing graphics (just like we picture older games much better than what they rly are).

I guess we'll have to just agree to disagree on that then. I felt Reach was responsible for many of the things I hate in Halo (armor abilities, bloom) and the multiplayer just never compared to 3, especially the maps.
I had 2200 games (not including campaign) in Halo 3 and only 972 (plus campaign) in Reach. Reach had a more consistent campaign but that's all I would really give it.
Considered H2A is locked during MP, I highly doubt there having a hard time with H3. Especially since its at least a month old build.
Don't think we need to be concerned here man.
Lmao. Here we go...
Misinformed gonna misinform.
It is a remake of a 10 year old game. Halo 2 Anniversary. 1, 3 and 4 are included with all MP maps.
That's what I would assume as well but there are definite moments during the IGN video where the framerate is not 60.

Of the previous generation...sorry it just doesnt add up to me, i think the games still look too good, and are still too fresh for a remake.
Yeah, I'm not too worried
343 and co are technical wizards.H2 is from 2 generations ago.
Keep changing those goal posts though.
Destiny had a story? I thought they didn't have time to explain that they didn't have time to explain the story?
You're certainly allowed to have your opinion and all but still...

Being able to play all of them on a single console, with dedicated servers at 60fps, makes it worth it for most.

"Refined perfection of Halo 2," Oh god that is priceless. Anyone remember smg starts on Coagulation?? BR starts on Coagulation for that matter doesn't play well.

I used to find these links all the time but couldn't for the previous video. Can you post a link for that one as well?

Well if it makes sense to you cool, enjoy.
It doesnt to me, last time I played Halo 1 or 2, I think it still felt good, and no need for a remake, but this is a personal opinion. It just seems this newer generations are relaying too much on remakes/remasters.
Yeah, I'm not too worried
The footage is from an older build anyways so it's not too much of a stretch to assume that the game will play smoother when we get it in a few weeks.
However if you're interested in checking out what I've noticed, download this file: http://assets.ign.com/videos/zencoder/1920/708399a5a6670601c2c022fcb9982d8e-9000000-1413829277-w.mp4, and check :40, :59, and 1:13. Those are the biggest frame drops that I could see, with no noticeable issues with MP.
Also worth noting at 1:23 you can see noticeable color banding in the sky. It's not a huge issue, but was something that I was hoping to see addressed.
That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion but saying its a cashgrab is EXTREMELY incorrect. They could have sold H2A alone for $60 and it'd be a good deal. This package is fan-service, a gift for us Halo gamers.
H2A has updated everything to do with the visuals and wonderful new cutscenes from Blur.
H3 with better IQ at 60fps is just a huge bonus, because it's best Halo.

lol at calling a remaster/remake done right a cash grab.
As opposed to Assault Rifle starts on Last Resort. Real solid setup there. The SMG starts were remedied quickly enough.

Looks damn good with that framerate. Most of my time will be spent playing Halo 3 MP.
The one thing concerning me still is armor permutations for both Halo 3 and Halo 4. How will I unlock armor like Mark V, ODST, Rogue, and other permutations without the affiliated achievements and corresponding in-game (non-existent) global ranks?
oh, and muh reconz
