NICE, Now hopefully they share the new ranking system

Hopefully it's better than that shitty system in Reach. Absolutely mind-boggling that even though kills are zero-sum, they didn't weight kills and deaths equally (deaths were actually weighted at something like 1/3rd of kills). Quite stunning mathematical ineptitude, really.

 

[rokkerkory]

I project at least 2m sales by end of this year for this game.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I am pretty sure they said first time on ONE console. All 4 games are playable with all the multiplayer feature.

Halo 2 was perfectly playable online before they turned it off. Taking away features from one game is not a positive bulletpoint for another.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Anyone know if this is playable on the show floor?

I'm dying to see some more footage.

The game is supposed to be on Twitch right now.

Easily

couple more minutes

Okay thread's up:

I haven't done one of these in a while. It's not really an OT but I tried to make it neat and easy to understand.

 

[Altered Juice]

...oh boy, so basically each map has a specific halo engine? expect people to drop like dominoes when a halo 4 map gets picked.

i gotta read this whole thread and hope that im wrong.

I wonder what kind of attach rate we'll see. I'm hoping it's high.

 

[Random17]

*Some game features, including hidden terminal videos, require broadband internet; "

From Amazon's page. Are the Terminals on Waypoint again, like Halo 4? I'm guessing this is just an assumption on Amazon's part based on Halo 4.

 

[jem0208]

Not sure if this was posted yet (I went through every page quickly).

MVP is back? Sweet, I loved that in 3.

 

[nature boy]

Wow they did some cosmetic and sound changes.


@Twitch E3 stream.

 

[WanderingWind]

Add me as a for sure sale. I played the original Halo, but never touched the series afterward.

But how the hell can you pass up a deal like this?

 

[NH Apache]

the livestream on twitch, did they just intimate pc?

Edit: Basically they just said that today they are here to talk about xbox, that's why we are avoiding all the pc questions. Lead said he hear ya, and gave a huge smile into the camera.

That's a fake UI.

They are not denying it, so I definitely feel like it is coming at some point. March 2015 is my prediction

 

[Glitchfire]

They're talking about it on twitch stream.

Didn't answer PC and ranking related questions.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I think I might be the only person in this thread that is not concerned with MP. Heh.

I'm actually loving this strictly for the SP campaigns.

I'm hoping we get to see some more of the SP and maybe a cutscene or two.

 

[NullPointer]

I think I might be the only person in this thread that is not concerned with MP. Heh.

Nah, we're around

I'll enjoy campaign and co-op while everybody else dredges up old arguments about weapon starts and glitches and every change from every version of the multiplayer to date. Gonna stay out of that madness entirely ;p

 

[Faith]

I'm buying it only because of the SP.

I want to replay all the games before Halo 5 comes out

Ditto friend. Only played 1 and 4, Halo 2/3 will be a fresh experience for me.

Honestly, I'd buy this collection even if there wasn't any MP. I'm buying it solely for the single player games.

However, Halo MP is a shitload of fun. I loved Halo 3 MP and I even once jumped into a GAF game a few years back.

I'm most excited about the H2A graphic updates and those cutscenes. I mean, damn, those looks so good.

Yeah, the attach rate will be very high. I can't see anyone buying Xbox One and not picking this up. Its just incredible value. 60$ for YEARS of fun you are going to get with this. And I have a feeling they will have a Xbox One bundle this holiday.

That's what I'll be waiting for. A good bundle.

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

http://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1774154242&pf_rd_i=468642

Amazing. I contributed to that.

Assassin's Creed Unity is in 15th place, The Order is in the 12th place fand GTAV PS4 is in 11th place, all of them in the 1 day mark.

MCC is dominating and this is an update and re-release.

I'm glad to see Halo is completely alive and well. It's there being the best FPS games ever made.

 

[Wonderllama]

I want to see Halo Reach maps as DLC.

(Bring back Sword Base!!)

 

[shandy706]

Darn...I missed the stream. I'm not a massive Halo fan, but would have enjoyed seeing the upgrades.

Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time looks cool on the Xbox feed.

 

[Cheech]

Super excited for this. The amount of content is mind blowing. Perfect digital download game to have on your system for the entire generation.

Yeah, this will be my first* full priced digital download game on my bone. Can't ever see wanting to sell this game.

*I was at a party at my house and the kids were restless, so I bought Just Dance 2014 to keep them in the basement and the adults upstairs. That shame will be on my Xbox purchase history forever.

 

[EmeraldSwords]

Still contemplating whether I should pick up an Xbox one now just for this. Actually just for Halo 2 alone....Decisions decisions..

 

[Glitchfire]

I just preordered this and I don't even have an xbox one yet. AHHHH THIS ISS AWESSOME

 

[NullPointer]

I'm most excited about the H2A graphic updates and those cutscenes. I mean, damn, those looks so good.

Am mostly excited for Halo 3 of all things. The jaggies really bugged me on the 360, so am very much looking forward to playing it with improved IQ. And I never finished my solo legendary run.

Still need to do my co-op legendary run with a buddy of mine who never got the chance to play Halo 2.

This compilation is the main reason he'll pick up an Xbox.

 

[Crowza]

How are digital pre-orders handled? I don't have a Xbox One yet, but I certainly want this as a digital download and not as a physical disc.

I thought I remembered that Xbox One digital releases were supposed to be available the same day as physical copies. Can you preorder digital games and can you get the Halo 5 beta access?

Just wondering how it works from anybody that knows..

 

[Korosenai]

I might end up buying this physically and digitally. I dont even know why, i just feel compelled to for some reason.

 

[JesseZao]

If you want a game that comes out in November...buy it in November.

Tsavo Highway on legendary is amazing, still remember my coop play through. I'm looking forward to playing halo 3 again too.

 

[Cheech]

What they have been doing is giving the preorder bonuses for the first two weeks of retail availability. So no worries. Just start paying attention a month prior to launch and you'll be fine.

The only preorder bonus I see right now is something stupid on Amazon (something about enemies dropping plasma grenades), so I honestly wouldn't worry about it.

If you want a game that comes out in November...buy it in November.

Yeah, if there's nothing you want to play right now, just wait. The fall deals will almost certainly be rich. Microsoft is going to come hard with incentives.

It wasn't until I played Halo 3 that I became fully aware of the concept of aliasing. It is so ugly in Halo 3 because otherwise the game is quite a looker. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Can someone tell me if Nightfall is live action or CGI? I was under the impression it's a CGI movie but Halopedia.org says it's a live action movie.

Live action
Think Forward Unto Dawn but a little bigger budget.

The real question is are the actors better this time around.

 

[QuikNez]

I'm afraid that MP lobbies / maps will be empty - 100+ maps is unreal.

This has to be the best value of any game / collection since my 100 game NES cartridge.

 

[Exploratory]

I like how the new Mario Kart does it. MS should copy that.

Explain?

 

[Sundown]

This is the one rumour above all I wanted to be true. I could cry tears of joy. Day one. Will probably get CE if there is one.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

I told myself in the past that I was done with Halo.

Now I am back.

I cannot wait. Playing Halo 1 and Halo 2 online will be the best thing ever. This is a true system seller in my eyes. Never thought I'd buy an Xbone, but here I am psyched as can be.

 

[Ohwiseone]

One flag on Zanzibar.

And OG blood Gulch.

So excited.

If only they would be able to put up a Custom Games Set List up that would be awesome.


But hey, tower of power anyone?

I can not wait to play BTB on both CE and H2 again.

ohhhhhh shit.

 

[PrimaNocta]

I haven't played a Halo game in years but I'm definitely going to buy this collection.

 

[BokehKing]

You think because of destiny/call of duty/battlefield releases around the same time period it will effect sales or community online?
