Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
Why release them as one pack instead of seperatly with a cumulative multiplayer component? I think they'd make more money. Or just 3 packs: Halo 1&2, Halo 3 and ODST and a Halo 4 + additional content and Halo 5 beta.

was kinda expecting more from the graphics for halo 2 remake.

Same. MC doesn't even look as good as the first Halo 2 teaser from a decade ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cojjVDdtB8g

And I didn't know the cutscenes were CG. That's a big disappointment. I love CG, just not in my videogames because the gulf is enormous. :(

And looks like the cutscenes kept the huge black borders in case you're too dumb to know it's a cutscene. Oy.


And watching more of the gameplay, it seems as if the 1080p/60fps target isn't leaving room for AA. Halo 3 to still be a jag-fest?

I can't even imagine the amount of consoles getting sold because of this . $$$

Can't wait, this has to be the best offer in terms of content for $60. Would be cool if one day we could get a Marcus Fenix Collection for the gears franchise as well.

Never has a thread been more necessary... Great job with it btw.

I'm buying the everloving shit out of an xbone just for this. JUST for this.

I really with I was more of a hardcore Halo fan, because this is the ultimate fan-service. Unbelievable. Will buy Day effing ONE!

I am actually happy that we can play HaloCE multiplayer on console FOR THE FIRST TIME without messing around with complicated system link tunneling.

So excited for this. I bet Halo 3 will look great in 1080p, even with no texture improvements.

Here's one I made earlier:

I posted this in the other Halo thread but i'll post it here as well in responce to your post as i think this is what will happen imo -

Its not finished but i wouldn't expect it to get much better. It would be a bit silly to have a Halo 1-4 collection where Halo 2 is by far the best looking game. It will imo stay close to Halo 4 level so we have a 1080p/60fps Halo collection where all the games look very similar in quality.

Amazing job on the thread, OP. Very informative.

My mind is still blown away by the amount of content that will be included in this collection, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Even though I've stated in the past that I kind of regretted buying an XB1 at launch, I can finally say that really I'm glad that I have one. This game is just one of the reasons. There are several more to look forward to this fall and in 2015.
 
Subbed to the thread, something I usually don't do unless it's really worth following.

I'm still confused about this hybrid MP engine also included, all the base games are awesome but there is still a cloud of mystery over the 5th MP engine included.

Pre-ordered already.

Yeah, I expressed my disappointment at this as well. The Halo 2 footage I saw yesterday had terrible aliasing.

Great thread. I wish ODST was included but I won't complain bc this collection is better than I thought it would be.

I want to get this digitally but lately MS has been giving credit out if you preorder it from their store, so we'll see.

Halo 3 Campaign Missions 6 and 7 videos asap please. The Hornet against the Scarabs giving me wet dreams since 2007.

Please add ODST Firefight as DLC.
 
Pre-ordered after the show yesterday. Best game of E3 imho.
I'm so confused, weren't we going to get some live stream gameplay today???
It was on Twitch earlier unless you're referring to something else. I missed a lot of it there.

Did they show off any SP gameplay and if so, any YouTube links?

I canceled my pre order just so I could hit pre order again.

All hail the return of competitive halo.

GOOD BYE POSITIVE REP!

So excited to see Halo moving forward in the right direction again. No more trying to appeal to the mass casual audience like what happened with Halo 4. 343 has shown they're willing to learn from their mistakes and looks to be not only broadening their horizons by introducing many who have never played Halo to nearly the entire collection, but also catering to their hardcore fanbase who may have previously left after being fedup of dealing with things like sprint, loadouts, no set weapon spawns. I'm so excited to get this game in my veins. The golden days of Halo 2/3 are some of my fondest gaming memories and I was crushed by what became of the series between Reach and Halo 4. Sure the COD fans may buy your game, but the numbers clearly showed once the newer yearly COD game was released they flocked back to what they know.
