Same thing happened with me. I got the limited edition version of Halo 2 on day 1, went crazy playing online and only ever beat the campaign once. I eventually fizzled out of it, always preferring the gameplay of the original. Then I played Halo 3 for years. Going back to the MCC, I have fallen in love with Halo 2, I feel bad for not giving it more of a chance.It seems like you still have to buy MCC to get Halo 2 anniversary, aka best Halo. :/
Its strange, i never loved Halo 2 until i played Anniversary, i just thought it was a decent transition game from 2 to 3. Now its my favorite, and then 3 and then Reach
I wonder if Reach cutscenes will get a FPS boost.
No. They're all capped at 30fps. They'd need X1X exclusive patches, which won't happen.Could the One X potentially have these running at 60fps?
All of them are free except the Noble Map Pack for Reach currently
At least this is them kinda finally telling us that in a read between the lines kinda way.
Halo 2 and OG Halo CE are definitely coming though, what with OG Xbox BC coming.No Halo 2 though. It was the main course in the collection.
Surely this isn't a big deal to Halo fans as they already have Halo:MCC?

There's 0% chance we won't get them.Would have obviously been preferable to overhaul MCC, but this is fine. Guess we're getting Halo CE and Halo 2 with OG Xbox BC at some point, too.

That said, still no CE & H2 matchmaking, and of course H2A multiplayer and campaign are MCC exclusive.

Are people hating on the MCC seriously playing it right now? Me and my wife do local split screen with various friends joining our party online and find matches just as quickly as we did in Halo 3's prime.

Stinkles:
New users and returning users. It's also 4K for MP which still has healthy populations and will bump in November too. You can get a sense of the fidelity by looking at the PC Forge/MP package on a high end PC and without committing to anything I will note that BC legacy titles and the "fate" of MCC are not connected at the hip as some have perhaps reasonably, but in this specific case, mistakenly inferred. That may be cold comfort with no information to share at this time, but they are not an either or situation.
I know no one wants this brought up again but this is the definitive nail in the coffin for MCC.
Problem is people shouldn't be needed to play it now to see how it is. In my case, the game was broken and I could hardly play anything 6 months in so I got rid of it and stopped caring. I paid $60 and went to the midnight launch for the MCC and I gave it 6 months to work. It didn't. I really don't care how well it works now. I wasn't going to keep waiting for it and many others weren't either. They took far too long.Are people hating on the MCC seriously playing it right now?

That's all fine and well, but it doesn't mean anything is coming, just that this doesn't explicitly preclude it.Thought I'd add this comment from Frankie on MCC from the other thread (emphasis mine):

Noble will be free. Don't know why the drop hasn't hit yet, but it will, likely today.MS, why do you do this? Make all the maps free EXCEPT Noble for Halo Reach. The only one that isn't on MCC and is BC now at least I got Anniversary, that's a lot of fun even if it's just Halo Reach CE mod.
The DLC for 3,4,Reach, and Wars is now free.

just give me Halo Reach in 1080p 60fps and get rid of that horrible ghosting AA crap.
Nah, there is still some hope...That's all fine and well, but it doesn't mean anything is coming, just that this doesn't explicitly preclude it.
Given that it's been almost 3 years and the last patch was ages ago, I see no reason to be confident. This was close to the last chance to announce a new patch. If we don't hear anything before Scorpio releases, it will never come.
Ske7ch: There's a healthy, steady population of players on MCC and it keeps bringing in new players regularly. The game is important to the franchise and isn't something the studio wants to give up on.
