So much this.

Halo 3 is an incredibly beautiful game, held back by its awful resolution and lack of aa and af.

It will shine in full 1080p.

It's basically like playing it in photomode.

I'm hoping they bring back campaign theatre for this exact reason. SO. MANY. WALLPAPERS

It is all OG multiplayer. The game will allow you to switch and it will seamlessly load the engine.

343 is kinda using this as a way to see what Halo players want out of their multi.

Damn so 4 different multiplayers in one? With H2 being the facelift? That sounds goat but I'm worried the player base will be super fractioned

Someone please clarify. So is Halo 2 the only multiplayer? Orrrrrrrrr.. All 4 have their own respective multiplayers? All the maps on Halo 2 only? I'm confused about that.

And if they're separate.. The multiplayer will be the og multiplayer?


Every single map is being remade from 1-4. When you choose a map from say 3, you go into a game in the Halo 3 engine. If a map from 2 is chosen you go into a game in the Halo 2 engine etc.

There are also 6 maps from 2 which have also been remastered and changed a bit. When you play these maps you play in a new engine for the X1. The original versions of these 6 are also available to play in the Halo 2 engine.

Can't wait for this. Midnight launch and day of work for this.
Wonder will this mean I see less of your drivatar stinkles
 
I'm so excited about Halo again, this is awesome

The fact that the halo collection exists, that they brought pros to E3 to demo multiplayer, the possibility that Nathan Fillion could be returning, the fact that the Arbiter is coming back, that 343 is running a multiplayer beta for H5..

I was literally on the floor laughing with joy during the announcement
Such excite, much wowe

I hope not; I just want to play Halo 2 - and surely not alone with this notion.

This. Damn son. I thought it was all Halo 2 multi.. Kinda killed my hype somewhat. Well.. I enjoyed Halo 1-3 multiplayer. Now 4.. Ugh. Keep that out my collection yo.

I'm getting nervous at the way worded some of the press releases. Am I reading it right that the games won't include the title update patches from the original games?

It is crucial that Halo 2, most of all, has the title updates included. The Halo 2 that everyone knows and loves is the post-patch version. Pre-patch version was a mess. Leaving in the glitches is ok, even I personally wouldn't mind seeing them gone.

I would love if Stinkles or anyone could clarify on this. It could potentially be a big blunder on what could be an amazing package.

The developer is looking to add some new gameplay moments that "bookend" the new Halo 2 cinematics, and is adding a new epilogue and prologue that tease and set up Halo 5: Guardians
This has me super excited, I can't wait to see what they dredge up from old H2 content.

All games will ship with all the patches included
 
Not sure why they can't have seperate playlists.
Halo 1 playlist
Halo 2 playlist
Halo 3 playlist
Halo 4 playlist
Etc

Pretty sure they confirmed this. Separate hoppers for each individual game and a hopper for mixing 'em all up. In the IGN article, maybe?

Someone really should make that FAQ for the OP...

At least in the IGN video there was no playlist based on which game you wanted. If you pick slayer, when the map vote comes there are 3 options and they could be Team Slayer on Blood Gulch (Halo 1), Team Slayer on Blackout (Halo 3), Team Slayer on Warlock (Halo 2). Vote winner gets loaded up and you play the MP of THAT game.

If this has all the games multiplayer maps and you choose one over the other each match, how will this effect the play when each game has a different controller setup for the most part?
I know when I went from 3 to Reach and Reach to 4, each time it had different controller setups. It took a few matches before you got back into the groove.

I wonder which forge we're getting for the Halo 2 maps? I imagine that we'll have Halo 4 forge for the 6 Halo 2 maps made on x1.
