To be fair each time was only once, but I really didn't like her updates. Bravo's writing seems a lot more professional while also seeming personal on an appropriate level.

apparently there wont be a collector edition for this
I'm thinking about buying a disc copy, leaving it sealed and also buying the game digitally off the US store (cheaper than AU) to play.

Yep, Frank is GOAT with his updates or bulletins. I still remember his write ups from the Halo 2 days.

I'm a huge Halo fan and want to defend Halo when I see Haters but you posted nothing but straight truth facts and I'm down for the CE-3 play through. 1 time through Halo 4 was more than enough sorry to say.

They are saving the LE stuff for Halo 5 I assume. They already dropped the kinect requirement and will probably have a bundle. That all combined with the 60$ price tag for 4 halo games, they probably dont see the need to do a le controller or console. Doing it this year then immediately next year would look tacky & most wouldnt go for it if they already bought the LE stuff this year.
yes I know hardcore fans would do it.

Fuck an LE controller where is my LE GAME?
This at the VERY LEAST deserves a steelbook case. I am not asking for a statue, or a cat helmet. (both of which I own), save those for halo 5.
But give us a Halo 2 esq. collectors edition for The Master Chief Collection.

I think Frankie spoke about how they are aware of fan demand for one.

what the fuck
And regarding the Drinol, I've got mixed feelings on it. On one hand, with a few years of fine-tuning it seems like it could be interesting, but it being so huge compared to the other races kind of turned me off. With all of the other factions - even the Prometheans, you could at least use a sense of scale to judge "oh, Grunts are small and weak, Jackals are a little bigger, Elites are slightly better than you," and so on and so forth. Something that outclasses a Knight Battlewagon and even heavy vehicles in size but is still "only" as strong as a berserk Hunter (in the sense that it can smash you, but that's about it) or even a projectile-less Zealot would seem not only dissonant, but a little disappointing. Scale, based on the pre-Xbox build:
I also feel like having such a huge organic weapon would have mitigated the effectiveness of the Hunters in firefights, and on top of that you would have to develop some huge setpieces to realistically deploy the Drinol in combat. Given how linear most of Halo 2's (non-out-of-the-map) playspaces are, where would it even be sent out? Metropolis? If they did give it projectile options, the only thing I can really see it doing Bungie-era would be firing those dumbass knuckle spikes, and I really don't think Halo needs a Kraid. My major complaint design-wise, not size-wise, is that being such a huge biologically-unprotected target (assuming it lacks shields) on top of the "relatable" pale color scheme and the prominent keratin organic weapons (claws, teeth, etc) are that it seems... really doofy compared to the other races. Like, Halo 2 Brutes were pushing it in the first place, but I can't help but feel that they accomplished certain design feats like the particularly toothy Jackals and the pale, berserker late Bungie-era Brutes in more intuitive fashions. In fact, looking back, the Drinol actually looks like a super-sized humanoid Grunt with a few extra creepy features thrown on, down to the elephant-feet and silhouette. I think part of it was also that Bungie was trying to repurpose as many Marathon assets as they could (in this case the Drinniol or "Hulk") and as a result they fell flat in a couple places.
On the positive side, though, I do like the design of the armor, and a "poison-tipped ivory" indigo / cream look would be a pretty badass faction aesthetic for them to use at some point in the future. It just looks a little too elegant for the Drinol.

Never say never. But considering H1A had nothing in the way of a CE I doubt this will either. I really wish developers would do more making of stuff. Give me a steel book with the game and a long ass content filled making of and I'm in heaven. That's one thing I was sad to see Destiny not have for example in it's CEs.

Agreed, Halo 4, in my opinion, had one of the best campaigns since Halo CE. Only disappointment was the final fight with the Diadact.

COUNT ME IN!!
Go in order!
Hopefully we hear something about a special edition at Gamescom.This collection is so awesome that they need to bring back an LE edition and a Legendary edition. The classic Master Chief and Arbiter standing back to back in combat would be a cool little statue for the Legendary edition. Do it 343i!

Regarding a Vidoc, I'm 95% sure there will be one for H: MCC
I just realized:

Man, I really wish they'd do a new Limited Edition similar to this one.. Mine is in a deplorable state after I moved and forgot it in a box in the attic for a couple months.

Ah the H2 steelbook, I actually sold mine about a month after buying it, regreat it and bought the regular version shortly after to resume playing online, which still sort of bugged me with the annoying BR spawn deaths but now i'm ... use to it? I guess.
With this collection coming out I look at my Halo 4 CE and think about how useless it is and was, it sells for £10 on ebay now lol.
