So wait am I correct in thinking that this game is going to have all the separate MP's and their respective ranking systems? Along with all 4 of the games being 1080p/60?

Kinda. The separate MPs are there, but 343 is working on some sort of unified ranking system. No details yet, so far as I know.

Personally not liking this. It just makes everything feel so disjointed/disconnected. Youll go from halo 1 with everything in engine, to halo 2 with these amazing cut scenes, to halo 3 with the original god aweful charecter models and terribly animated in-engine cinematics, to halo 4 which looks great but still no where near the quality of the halo 2 cutscenes. I mean why do this?

You make a fair point that it's inconsistent as hell but

Trust me, they considered only including 1 and 2 remastered. This is the exact same package, except you have a choice to replay 3 and 4 with some minor improvements.

Take the free stuff.

What? We're complaining about getting games across 2 gens and 10 years all in one package and wanting more synergy?

yeah ok.

Just saw the cinematics trailer...

Sweet mother of God, absolutely incredible. Get Blur on the Halo 5 cutscenes 343, can't believe how good they look.

So the complaint is that they're doing too much? :p But really there is absolutely no downside here. The fact that we're getting these insane cutscenes for Halo 2 at all is something I find pretty damn amazing, but then on top of that we also happen to have 3 more major Halo titles to play on the Xbox One in a single package for just $60. Also, I don't know if I'd go so far as to say that Halo 4's cutscenes are nowhere near the level of Halo 2's cutscenes. Sure, there's some incredibly iconic ones from Halo 2, but there were a number of absolutely stunning cutscenes in Halo 4 that I will never forget all the same, and that I would certainly put up there with the best the Halo series of games has ever seen..

I assume they already have this part covered, but I'm certainly not opposed to the idea. :D

Last Resort was TERRIBLE compared to Zanzibar. They made the map too big. Zanzibar was PERFECT

Yeah, Froman was a complete shitshow and the base was a colossal mess. And the gametypes in Halo 3 were atrocious to those in Halo 2, so it helped Zanzibar a ton. Playing 1-flag Last Resort to 1-flag Zanzibar is like night and day.

For someone who never played both, what exactly made the map too big or the maps so drastically different in the same gametypes?

*Patiently waiting for them to upload the Panel*

This is all so good. Also, there was a screenshot of what MM might look like, and it looks the vertical player cards are back in favor of those weird baseball cards Halo 4 introduced.

That is fantastic to hear. Halo 4's UI was a disaster.

There was way more unnecessary space added to the map that just made it play poorly.

Its like they expanded the map size and added completely new sections as if the player cap was expanded to 24 players or something.

More footage of the old engine :( ? Is there no 60fps footage of the H2A engine?
Click to expand...

He's recording footage from the PC version of Halo 2 that was released years ago, not the version of Halo 2 from the Master Chief Collection. It's just to show off what the vanilla game looks like at 1080p/60fps so people can get an idea of what to expect from H2 Anniversary.
