Wow. This really sucks balls.. seriously wtf?!
This is awful if true. I NEED to be able to pick Halo 2 skirmish or Halo 2 BTB.

My guess is the one playlist (if that was accurate info) wouldn't have a mixture of 4v4 and 8v8 gametypes in the same playlist. Would likely be 4v4 and have a mixture of slayer, objective and the non-core stuff like snipers, swap, etc... But it may not be accurate to begin with so who knows.Wait, so is each individual game getting a single playlist that mixes and matches big team slayer with other game types like free for all? That would suck if so...
I imagine this would be a FANTASTIC opportunity for when they plan on releasing Halo Wars 2. And it could get the same beta treatment with the Spartan Collection that Halo 5 is getting in MCC.Anyone else switch from Halo 4 to playing the shit out of Reach?
It's party because Reach is the last Bungie Halo and is tiding me over in between the Destiny beta and launch, but it's mostly because Reach isn't included in the MCC.
Sad, because Reach in particular could really benefit from the increased resolution and frame rate. Playing it in 2014 fells like watching a flip book. Terrible ghosting issues, but still overall a really fun Halo game.
I'm hoping there will be a Halo: Spartan Collection in the future that remasters ODST, Reach and Halo Wars.

As long as BTB 8vs8 with the ranking system is in - I am happy
Nope, gonna continue to hyperventilate about how shitty everything is now anyway.Playlists aren't even close to done, never mind announced.

This is actually a very important question. Hopefully Frank can answer.
Pretty sure they know how huge of a deal playlists are. Don't over-react just yet..
Should work ok with some matchmaking options like the previous games had, ie, good connection, fastest, skill. With good connection not expanding the search to other data centres, but giving you a longer wait.I get the impression that everyone thinks that the choose a datacenter option is a given after titanfall...
But seeing as they are going to want to keep the playlists as stuffed as possible AND they are going to matchmake us by rank. Im scared that it is going to be like every other halo.... The middle finger to everyone not in North America
I wonder if its possible to glitch in the single player like you could before. In delth halo it was super easy to get outside of the bounds of the level.
[...]and you can still get a really early Banshee in AotCR [though that is harder]).

I understand, and thanks a lot for answering, really. But it's a shame that we will get a full-english game in Spanish territories... was my main reason for getting an XOne.
In fact I asked to 343i at gamescom some info about the dedicated servers and they said to me that the dedicated servers are for MP only NOT campaign so if you still do not have a good connection you can experienced lag in coop.
Sadly the game is made in this way with the host (Bungie explained one time) it is not possible to change that system.

My xbone arrived today and I have nothing to play on it. GG! Time to watch some tv on my xbox on my tv.

I've been stuck with titanfall and PvZ since march and it's getting to me, my xbone is 95% twitch box right now.
If you've got gold, download the free games and check out KI.My xbone arrived today and I have nothing to play on it. GG! Time to watch some tv on my xbox on my tv.

Killer Instinct.
What should work??
Everyone who i speak to just wants to make sure the days of laggy shit halo are over! Titanfall worked so well, just imagining halo like that makes my mouth water..
On the other hand, another halo that plays on-line like the rest makes me want to sell my bone
Microsofts dedicated servers have been excellent so far so I wouldn't be too worried. I even enjoyed the Destiny beta much more on my xbone vs my ps4 due to more stable servers
Dude, destiny is 100% peer 2 peer.
the only right answer

Yeah, that's why I'm not too worried about it. Hopefully 343 will be flexible and responsive to what people want. And if not, then we can just rely on custom games.This. Plus, playlists are one of the most flexible aspects of the game post launch.
There needs to be a Halo 1 Blood Gulch 24/7 playlist
Picking a data centre or it picking your nearest one for you while taking ranks into account as well.What should work??
Frankie, can you comment on the menu UI music that will be playing when we boot up The Master Chief Collection? Here's to hoping that it will be the songs used for the Halo 2 menus. They were solid gold. Here's an example.
And another...
Reach anniversary was excellent. I wish they left the BTB playlist in it.Always prefered Reach, it's a superior game.
Though went back to H4 recently and holy crap are the playlists complete shit. And I still never see the Pit/Ricochet DLC I stupidly bought.
Watch from 3:00 on. The Classic CE music is being used for the base UI and then they explain how they are incorporating the music from there

Awesome, thanks! Nice to see them put this level of attention to detail into this collection.Now, where's my menu option to only play Halo2/3 music so I never have to hear the Halo 4 soundtrack again?
