Thanks for the explanation, you can tell it hurts they sold a turkey. I understand network problems are a huge headache, the rest of the package.....it's possible that any more changes that aren't even directly network related would have made things even worse so not sure on that front but they definitely didn't release perfect single player or core UI experiences. I still think Nadella/Spencer shoved it out the door to save Xbox One sales, 343 perhaps bit off more than they could chew even with other studio support but it was a great idea on paper, they needed their bosses to go for quality over desperate sales and I get the feeling they choose the latter unless 343 never discussed MCC quality with them.
Anyway, I'm glad it's getting fixed up, X support, better late than never but I hope they really go far with supporting it, not just a 4K touch up, bug squashing exercise. Redo Halo CEA, Halo 3A/ODSTA, Halo 4 lighting, ReachA. Make them so much better. Fix improve the effects, add some swaying trees, I dunno. It could be really neat to stick to original looks but giving it some life. I'm looking forward to it. Frankie, physics based water please
It must be quite a relief to just rip MCC to shreds as a dev, get under that hood and pull the wires and parts out. /not a dev
