Stinkles pliss. Any timeframe on when we'll hear more about this? :[

The netcode or the hit beeps?

 

[THEF3AR]

Saweeet.

So it unlocks at 11pm central time?

 

[Random17]

I genuinely don't even know where to start. I think I'll just sit at the menu screen for awhile and soak up the music.

Do CE-Halo 4. Chronological order is the way to go if you can't decide, like me. Also applies even if your favorite Campaign isn't CE's (like me)!

That's what I'm thinking but then in the back of mind it's like.. well why not dive straight into that classic multiplayer to bring back the memories? What about that new forge shizzle? I'm gonna spend so much time on this game :3

Were you expecting smooth gameplay like Halo Xbox? The MCC Halo 1 is from the PC port.

This is probably what I'm going to do. I love the campaigns in 3 and 4 so it also serves to save the best for last.

 

[DopeyFish]

Or the missing rockets on derelict

 

[GringoSuave89]

yup

 

[TaKeRx]

The hit detection is what I see.

 

[Zeyphersan]

I be crazy excited!!

Anyone who wants to play, add me

GT: Zeyphersan

None of my actual friends play Halo or even own an xbox anything, so I want to join the community here and actually like... stick with it

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

I'm working on a map in Forge that I think is going to be pretty rad. It's a 2-4 v 2-4 Symmetrical Slayer Map with many points of entry and routes. I think it could be good for CTF. Just gotta work on spawns (player and weapon)

Also, Forge in H2A is amazing. Can't wait to see what talented people do with it. This took me about two hours of dicking around while waiting for something to render.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Halo CE is 4 player coop right?

 

[DopeyFish]

Halo CE is 4 player coop right?

Halo 1 and 2 have 2 player coop

Halo 3 and 4 have 4 player coop

 

[Strider]

Halo CE is 4 player coop right?

No. Just 2 like in the original. Halo 2 is only 2 people as well. Halo 3&4 are 4 player though.

 

[CliQ]

Only 2 player.

They're holding back the CE playlist because of this, so I wonder when they'll talk more about it. Hoping it can be resolved, although it appears to be an issue we'll have to live with.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Damn, was hoping maybe they upgraded it for the MCC...

Forge is my favorite part of halo. I'll probably spend more time as guilty spark than as a spartan.

 

[DopeyFish]

I wonder what CE will look on dedis

If its good, they should bring dedis to CE customs at least

Looks great so far and yeah, some people are nuts with Forge. Let's just hope there's a good way to market the best of the best and easily and put it up front for all to enjoy.

 

[Madness]

I'm going to do the same. Screw around with the menus, just listening to the music and then head into SWAT and get a feel for the 60FPS headshots. No way am I jumping into the ranked playlist. There will be so much to try out.

 

[The Flash]

They should bring dedis to custom games period. and a custom games browser for good measure.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Halo 1 and 2 have 2 player coop

Halo 3 and 4 have 4 player coop

Is the input lag from online co-op still present?

 

[Mutagenic]

I guess I haven't been following this game closely enough. I'm not hearing the announcer in MP.

 

[JoeDanny]

Is the input lag from online co-op still present?

oohh yes

 

[Bossniak]

That hit confirm sound? I love it. It reminds me of my Halo CE PC days.

I love it too but it seems like it's louder than the PC version.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

oohh yes

Bummer.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

oohh yes

 

[Kadin]

Just got home. What a GLORIOUS OT! Can't believe the day is finally upon us!

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Stinkles pliss. Any timeframe on when we'll hear more about this? :[

Edit: Oh I'm dumb, never mind.

 

[antigoon]

Hey y'all.

Oh and IDK if you're updating the gamertag list, Mix, but my time zone/region is EST USA.

 

[GavinGT]

The only problem is that it also works for grenades. So you can toss a grenade, hear a beep, and know that one more grenade will finish them off.

 

[Conkerkid11]

A thousand is pretty generous.

Any more and you would have issues like spambots and super-collectors. Followers are infinite.

Oh, and gotta say... does anyone else notice that Halo 3's lighting looks pretty terrible? I don't remember it looking that bad. The reds also look redder when I notice the dots on the radar and the red team score bar.

So then the Xbox website doesn't let you add over the old 100 friend capacity or something?

I really don't want to add all these people using the Xbox One virtual keyboard.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Here we go! Calc 3 exam Tuesday afternoon and then it's Halo time.

Email your prof right now to ask to take it tomorrow. Then you have all day Tuesday to play

Smartglass boyeee

 

[Blues1990]

I need to get get used to aiming for the head with the pistol, as that thing cooks in Halo: Combat Evolved.

 

[FatMarshall]

oohh yes

I've been hoping this would be fixed or improved ever since ODST. Yet, not only has it not, but is seems to have gotten worse.

How come other games can have AI with little to no input lag?

I was just on Xbox.com and I was managing my 300 or so friends just fine.

Looks like the improvements to the Gearbox HPC netcode weren't all that massive. :/

Probably. They're (very) slowly moving the website over to xbox one

If you have Windows 8, use the smartglass app

Even on your phone it might be better than the crappy xbox one keyboard

 

[DopeyFish]

They're still working on the CE netcode

 

[Yoda]

Damn watching the CE/H2 footage brings back some memories. Wish this would come to PC.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

God that lag looks unplayable.

I assume it is because of this:

We are holding on introducing the dedicated Halo: CE playlist. Up until this very day, we’ve been making (and are continuing to make) investments to ensure that Halo: CE’s online/network performance is the best it can be within Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and we’re committed to making additional investments to make this happen. The current Halo: CE experience will be playable in custom games, as well as the Team Slayer and Big Team Battle playlists, but we are holding on the dedicated playlist until we are able to provide the best experience possible. Lastly, due to your feedback over the past few weeks, we’ll be moving the Halo: CE playlist to 2v2 when it launches.

Sounds like they are still working on Halo: CE's online and it isn't finalized.

Wonder if we're gonna have all that lag when a CE map pops up in a playlist, then

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

So when the CE playlist launches, there will only be a 2v2 one? What about 4v4 and Objectives?


EDIT:

Only via TS and BTB

4v4 Objectives were great..

We have CE 4v4 slayer and 4v4 objectives in matchmaking already. It just doesnt have a dedicated playlist.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Couldn't be more excited to jump right into the campaign, these games were such a large part of my childhood.

 

[CliQ]

I was actually hoping for an 8v8 one as well but I understand that we can't have too many playlists. That's another reason why I want to host custom game nights. Just to bad it won't be on dedicated servers.
