Good to hear...
Is the framerate consistent from what you could tell?
Personalization feature and useful for self-organization but not full clan support or a redux of the h2 double friends list.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
they have had that stuff in CoD for awhile, and I don't think it really does much. In fact Clan Tag might just be your call sign like Halo 3 had.
There you go.

Yes. Definitely. Oh and Ascension is now called ... Z ... Fuck, I forgot it xD Zeitha or smething like that.
I just want to make a clan with friends (no need for a 2nd friends list) and the ability to have a level on that clan
Had a chance to play this (h2A MP) today and it was beautiful,
BR felt awesome grenades aren't "launched" and the movement is the way it imo should be in halo.
The most fun match I had in halo in a long time (might also be because I got 31kills and a 15+ kill streak, still lost tho).
I really liked the new sanctuary but the waterfalls felt pretty useless, took 3 br shots (I think) to activate them and didn't really feel like it changed anything.

Kinda wish they wouldn't go digging through Thesaurus.com for some of these names. midship to heretic and zanzibar to last resort were good name changes.
Yes, all maps ever released.

All the maps. All of them.

So, like a Spartan ID from Halo 3? I am fine with that, would love full clan support in Halo 5 though... make it so number 2!
If it all maps, ever released for Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4, including the PC versions of Halo 1 and 2, then are we gonna see the return of Example?
This needs to be answered post haste.
Yep, confirmed.
Also regarding Halo 4 in the MCC, I hope, hope, hope that the Terminal videos are stored locally on the disc rather than still a stream online.

Those are included, too. I'm not sure if all missions will be accessible at all times, or if they'll rotate in and out of matchmaking, or something else.

Look like it's running on h4 engine.
Oh man, Example map FTW! What a nice nod to fans would it be...
Totally agreed on both counts.

Is this the Halo 2 engine with a graphical update? Maybe all of the Halo 4 influences are affecting my vision, because it looks like it plays much different than Halo 2.
The H2A multiplayer is basically a recreation of Halo 2 in the Halo 4 engine (or a variation of it or something). It's basically meant to be a modernization or "what if Halo 2 was made today" mode or something, but the entirety of the original H2 multiplayer with the original graphics and gameplay is also included.

Off the top of my head:
- Try to compare the AR and SMG. Like, how do their range and damage output compare?
- How frequently can the waterfalls at the bases on Sanctuary be triggered? Same for the shield on Ascension.
- Try to EMP the Banshee with the Plasma Pistol and see if it works.
Thanks!

But the normal untouched Halo 2 multiplayer will be in this game as well, correct? Sorry, I haven't been paying super close attention to this title, so I'm a little confused between Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo 2.
edit: Duh, you just answered that. Don't know how I managed to glance over the back end of your post. Thanks for the help.

Where's the 3rd switch on Ascension? There's one at big tower and another at OS.
Yes.
Edit: Question. Anyone know what resolution the H2A campaign will be running at?
Grenade and weapon hit markers. Also, how often does the water stuff reset. I'd hate if more than half the time, the water is down blocking sightlines.
Not entirely sure as of yet. They're aiming for 1080p but won't confirm until they know for sure. Every other aspect of the game is running at 1080p.

Hm, thinking about it, given the limitedness of Halo 2 Anniversary, I'm not expecting female Spartans (though I wish).
Halo 5, though! The beta!

I'm not sure if you recall but the Clan specific playlists in Halo 2 were never very popular. Clan Wars, which was the 6v6-8v8 Clan centric playlist was probably one of the most barren Halo 2 playlists.

That was a really good video.

It is a modified H4 engine the way the shield "pop" is exactly like H4.

Looks like the rockets can lock onto turrets (and presumably vehicles). Note the beeping. http://youtu.be/EvUTX_zoCas?t=1m17s

Didn't that work in Halo 2 anyways?
Wow the AR is stupid powerful like the H4 one.

Yes. Turrets and vehicles.

Loving how plasma nades explosions look and how flashy shields act in the remastered MP maps.
