This will probably end up being my favorite game of all time. I literally am still in disbelief that it has all this content. I thought I would never be able to play Halo 2 online again...

On the flipside, how could Halo 5 even compete with this package? 100 maps is just too crazy.

can I post a link to the IGN preview or is that website banned here?

Not sure, but Frankie may hint at searchable custom games.
Dan hints at 1-50 ranking. Tells Ryan that people who loved that system won't be disappointed.
Frankie says system link isn't working yet but should be working by launch.
Halo 2 campaign has a new prologue and epilogue that hints at the story of Halo 5.
All campaign missions unlocked from the start. Reason being bc of the new playlist feature.
Online coop for 2,3,4.
Frankie says that superbounces might not work. Says they were based on havok and since the game is now 16:9 and 1080p, the pixels moved, so the superbounces might not work in the same spots.

HCEA, H2 PC, H3 and H4 achievements intact?

 

[RdN]

With all the Azure servers, why wouldn't they be?

People on the Halo 4 thread were saying something about the way the netcode works for the campaign coop being the problem.. I admit I don't have much knowledge on this, I would just like the confirmation that I'll be able to finally experience Halo coop with no lag.

Ign isn't banned. Unless I missed something important recently.

Ah, I see. I have no knowledge on this either. Guess I just assumed it'd be on dedicated too.

*crosses fingers*

4000 gamerscore available

 

[statham]

I still can't believe this is happening. A reddit rumor was you only play certain levels and maps throughout the four games, this is way better then I expected.

 

[malfcn]

4000 gamerscore available

So..base gamerscores, no DLC points.
And are they the same requirements.

Who going to attempt Halo:CE-Halo 4 in one sitting?..... on Legendary

 

[wwm0nkey]

Who going to attempt Halo:CE-Halo 4 in one sitting?..... on Legendary

Fuuuccckkkk that lol

Maybe one per day though.

 

[Woorloog]

Who going to attempt Halo:CE-Halo 4 in one sitting?..... on Legendary

One sitting? Hmm. I believe i could do it but it is going to take more than 24 hours, mostly because of Halo 2 (3 and 4 are ridiculously easy even on Legendary, and Halo CE isn't particularly difficult provided you know what you're doing).
Even Halo 2 isn't that difficult... provided you know the maps and don't make mistakes.

EDIT Halo 3 and 4 take some 6h at most each. Halo CE... perhaps 7-10h. Halo 2 takes probably at least 1h per mission on average (i just can't recall how many missions it has).

Exactly. It would take over 30 hours in one sitting.

[Woorloog]

Easiest part actually. I know their spawns and i kill them ASAP.
Gravemind beginning and a fight near the end in Uprising are by far the most difficult fights in the game, those take most time.

 

[BeforeU]

Who going to attempt Halo:CE-Halo 4 in one sitting?..... on Legendary

That's insane lmao It would be blast in co-op and doable too. But Solo, no fucking way.

 

[DopeyFish]

It would take about 24 hours to play a single match on every map in this collection.

Edit: i am just excited to play halo 2 skirmish again. 1 flag CTF and 1 bomb Assault... best gametypes ever

 

[Woorloog]

That's insane lmao It would be blast in co-op and doable too. But Solo, no fucking way.

Other than taking time, easyish.
Were i to get Xbone and this collection, i might actually do it... except i know every frigging campaign well enough replaying them doesn't really interest me anymore. Too easy (without skulls, with skulls it becomes frustrating, losing the fun Halos usually have).

It would take about 24 hours to play a single match on every map in this collection.

Probably less considering you can finish Halo 3 under 2h on easy. Others are a tad longer but still. Unless you want higher difficulty of course.

 

[JBourne]

I just want to play armor lock on Sword Base again

 

[User 73706]

It does.

And soundtrack for h2 rerecorded at Skywalker orchestra. And sound effects redone. You heard some of them in the mp demo. And yes, the metal guitar is back.

Did Steve Vai come back for guitar? Can't wait to hear Reclaimer remastered.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Jesus, all four games LASO in one sitting would be the death of me...

thanks watching now

my game of show haha

 

[The Lamonster]

Actually now we've found out Tombstone and Desolation aren't included from Halo 2.

link?

 

[yingyangryder]

I did that once with a friend on Halo 3 I think it was called CLASO challenge or something similar.
Was simultaneously the most stressful and most satisfying week ever.

 

[Woorloog]

I was referencing the multiplayer lol

Oh, i missed that.
Hmm. Depends on how long per match... let's say average match is 7 minutes... 93x7=651/60=10.85h. Let's round it up to 12h.
EDIT unless you want to play every mode too, that was assuming single mode. Multiply by the amount of modes...

 

[Random17]

Halo 1-4 in a day would take about ... a day actually...

CE: 5 hours
Halo 2: 4-5 hours
Halo 3: 4-5 hours
Halo 4: 4-5 hours

About 20 hours if you know the mission shortcuts well. If we added the speed running times you could finish the games in under 10 hours...

 

[Seismic response]

Wow that didnt take long, already #1 on Amazon best sellers for games.

 

[Xamdou]

Gamer's #1 most anticipated game of this year!

[soulassssns]

Preordered on Amazon and I don't even own a Xbox One yet. lol

That #1 top seller status though.... Wow!

 

[NullPointer]

The winning announcement of e3 2014 hands down.

Its still hard to believe just how much is being offered here, and at a baseline 1080p @ 60fps quality level, with complete multiplayer. Insanity. Pure insanity, with no need to remind us that you're all about the gamer. This move shows it clearly.

 

[Welfare]

Halo still has the pull to bring any body in. Wonder how long it will stay No.1

If MS doesn't have digital preordering soon I'm going to have to break my no disc rule.

 

[Blueblur1]

I want to see more of the Halo 2 Anniversary MP.

 

[cool_dude]

Wow, just preordered also and still can't believe how good of a deal this is.

 

[Nori Chan]

I want a collectors edition with a helmet, steelbox, couple books, some dog tags etc....

frankie pls we will give you money for this

 

[Raab]

Pre-ordering tomorrow. Love H2 glitches, skill jumps and ruthless ranks... sorry to some ppl (gimme that BxR, BxB, reload glitch and super bounces for trolling).

 

[LiK]

If MS doesn't have digital preordering soon I'm going to have to break my no disc rule.

Man, I wonder what the file size would be....

 

[rokkerkory]

holy cow that h2a treatment is amazing

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Patiently awaiting the bundle with the game and console together.

Microsoft pls

This has to be up there in terms of best game compilations. They literally gave us everything we asked for and more.

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Just saw it wow.

Will probably order mine this week and pay it off in full. Easily one of the best announcements of E3.

 

[The Flash]

Man, I wonder what the file size would be....

I'll tell you how big it is. 1080.60gb.

 

[User 73706]

Is there any game functionality (not including the obvious broad strokes like "online co-op") part of the Master Chief Collection that's locked behind XBL Gold?

 

[Drakken]

Insane package. Definite, definite buy from me once I get an Xbox One.

 

[Bessy67]

Is there any chance that future Halo games will simply be added to this whole unified menu system? It would be really cool if once Halo 5 released it was incorporated into the single player mission playlists and mixed multiplayer thing.

 

[KeyboardThug]

This has to be up there in terms of best game compilations. They literally gave us everything we asked for and more.

Agree the only thing I need to hear now is that the coop campaign will be on dedicated servers. Plssssss

 

[FrankT]

Man, I wonder what the file size would be....

40 plus gigs straight to my external plus ya know updates.

Anyhow pretty sure I'm going to pass up Destiny with this. Too much to buy otherwise this fall and I only need one shooter. Total package here.

 

[Zeyphersan]

This package is going to make me get an Xbox one.

And if it comes out later in PC it will all have been a waste

 

[SFenton]

I'll tell you how big it is. 1080.60gb.

4 TB hard drive redeemed.
