It's an awesome deal. Microsoft's Orange Box.
I wanted to make a thread about this, but I figured it would get buried under all the E3 news. The people in this thread would certainly benefit though:
Microsoft Stores giving a minimum $10 trade-in credit on any last-generation game when you pre-order an Xbox One game
The key here is $10 minimum on any Wii, WiiU, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and/or Xbox One title. Maximum of 5 games allowed. So if you have a bunch junky old games that Gamestop won't give you $1 for, you can pick up the Master Chief Collection for $10. Offer ends on June 15.

I'm sure they would have used Halo 4 Grunts in H2A if they were here to stay. We will see what happens with the Jackals.

Wow, that is awesome if it's truly any games.
Holy mackerel.
Absolutely new thread worth, great deal here.
I'm not sure if I can part ways with my original copies of Halo 2/3 though...
Fingers crossed

this needs to be its own thread
I will make the thread, and try to give it a couple bumps when the E3 hype dies down. It's kinda important to get the word out quick since the offer ends in 4 days.
I've never heard of this glitch, explain

Neither have I, and I clocked hundreds of hours at Halo 1 LAN parties.

It's already been redone using Halo Custom Edition and Halo 2 vista... When you buy the RvB Blu ray it is actually a shot for shot remake (as best as they can anyways) and not the original

Will they alter the ending to Halo 2?
What ending?
lol
Well played.
I believe 343 mentioned there will be an extended prologue and epilogue for Halo 2, but I'm on mobile so don't quote me on that.
2004 all over again..

Tap X,X, then pick up a new weapon. Pick the rockets back up, and they're reloaded without deducting ammo.

You were able to drop a weapon as it was reloading, hear it finish reloading on the ground, pick it up and have a freshly, fully reloaded weapon. It wasn't practical midmatch because if you used two Rockets (the only weapon it would be useful for in competitive matches), you had to tediously set up this trick as it reloaded and keep doing it every single time since it only had 2 more shots.

"Qualified game" Is there a list?
ah ok, this never happened to me because Rocks were always contested in the games I played, LAN or XBC.
This could be a problem on XBL though, so ya it is something worth fixing.
That was never a very practical glitch in a real match of CE. Plus, CE gives all players the ability to compete against all power weapons right off the spawn. Even a player with "infinite" rockets for one life isn't insurmountable.
While it would be nice to have it fixed, it's not going to ruin online if they don't. I really hope if they do fix it they don't also remove backpack reload and double melee, as those were nice additions for the speed of the game. Quick Camo and Powerup doubling also need to be left alone.
I'd be more concerned about the rock geo-glitch on BG and escaping the maps. Those are things that duechebags online are going to use.
Just going to make note that I love the Sangheili designs for the remastered Halo 2 multiplayer experience.

Appears to be the Halo 4 Elite designs.

A Microsoft guy on the Giantbomb livestream confirmed that the mouse prompt that Jeff saw at an event was just dev code apparently. No plans for a PC port at this time or similar message. :.(

Where can I pre order this in Japan? (I live here).
Unless I`m stupid and or blind, I couldn`t find it on the Japanese Amazon.

Their anatomy, yes; I was mostly talking about their armor. It's very reminiscent of classic elite armor, sort of like a cross between Halo 3 and Reach. I really like it.
Ah, yeah.
Though I will say, while the Elite designs were retconned, I do hope people understand that the armor they wore wasn't (regardless of what Forward Unto Dawn will have you believe)

Maybe hard to see, but in the background you see Elites wearing their Halo 1 - Reach armor.
Edit: And I will not get into any argument here.

Stinkles already said as much.
The awesome thing about Halo 1 weapons reloading while on the ground is that they were still limited by the amount of spare cartridges, and perpetually attempted to reload until full. So, if you only have one spare cartridge for your AR and you ground-reload it, you can hear the gun repeatedly "reload" itself one shot at a time until the magazine is full.
Off-topic but you're awesome because of your name and avatar.
He posts here too, ya know.

So how do ranks on multiplayer work? Is it just social stuff with no actual ladder or is there a 1-50 system?
Offhand, how many of the reload glitches (ground reload, backpack reload, etc) actually worked on Halo PC? Remember, Anniversary is built off that, and so far, an assumption can be made that online will be based off of Halo PC's networking.
Another good question would be if Halo 2 still has handicaps. There's some pretty big exploits you can do with handicaps activated.

You took my first page gif lol, just noticed. I've used this on the first page of the past several major Halo threads.

Yup, an incredible deal. I'll be buying an X1 in the future. Hopefully the multiplayer is still active by then, or at least active enough to be able to experience all the maps, what did they say? Over 100 maps will be included. Amazing.
You're on the right track, though. Covenant armor, weapon, and vehicle design/functionality varies from fleet to fleet. 343i has confirmed (through the visual guides) that all Covenant design variants, in every Halo game, are canon; that is, with the exception of Halo: CEA retconing the designs of Halo: CE. The armor worn by the Storm-class Sangheili of Halo 4 is specific to the colony of Hesduros (which is where Jul 'Mdama recruited the bulk of his armada), which was likely what FUD was showcasing.
