Awesome news. Hope everything works out for them.
That's because they probably didn't want to pressure their partners into rushing it. Wouldn't help anyone.

Reach available at E3 and then another Halo every month for the rest of the year would be cool, but I'm expecting Reach sooner than that and for the gaps to be a little longer.
Will there be one price for the whole collection or Will it be Reach 20$ + Halo 3 20$ etc since they aren't releasing at the same time?

How much was ODST? That's probably a pretty good indicator of what these games will cost individually
OP
OP
Don't think it is, because they said that Reach will be premium priced DLC for MCC owners on Xbox, IIRC.
Throughout the year could mean a year from the day Reach comes out, a year from the announcement...
They were hyping up MCC PC being playable at Outpost Discovery in July. I don't think that means some of the games will be out by then, I think it means, aside from E3, that will be one of the first times it's playable.
I don't want to be a downer, but, Oddball didn't come to Halo 5 for two years, the X patch for MCC took 5 months of Insider testing and they've repeatedly said they're going to take the time to do it right.

Ah, I got it for free so I wasn't sure. I'm sure they kept that at a low price because it wasn't really a mainline entry and because of the state of MCC at the time. Yeah, $10-$15 is probably the price range for these games individually.
No... send Splash Damage Pizza! lol
Microsoft should run a promo with pizza companies to giveaway pizzas on twitch and mixer during the mcc PC launch.
Sounds like the goal is 2019, but still a ready when it's ready stance, which is good imo
Right (and thanks for grabbing the comment). I hope people are understanding how variable the testing window for things like this can be, just so there aren't unrealistic expectations. This is a big batch of games with a lot of variables.

We need to leave as good and detailed of feedback as possible, it will only speed up the dev if they know exactly what to look for.

They are not fully debunking it. Guess all for 2019 is the plan. They just want some room if it maybe doesnt at the end. So they dont want to commit saying it.

God damn 343 really need to put out some solid release info.
The last time they where this cagey about the MCC they abandoned it for 3 years.

They want to make sure it's done right, this is an actual "It's done when it's done" So when it meets their quality standards, Reach will be release, followed by the rest of them per how well the testing and quality of the product is. It's the best option to prevent a MCC launch re-cap.
The whole point is you categorically shouldn't use "solid" release info, which they aren't, because the nature of the project. There's legitimately no harm or down-side to saying they'll release the games as they arrive in a good state, and use the experience from each in the next. These aren't marketing decisions; it's actual testing and feedback rounds.
No. That's what made MCC sh** the bed when it launched. (And the sheets still haven't been washed properly...)

Apparently devs been going on for some time, they didn't just start these
All this MCC talk made me start playing it again. My pops plays this non-stop, I beat all the campaigns on mad difficulty's at launch. Played a bunch when it was fixed, then put it back in my backlog. This news made me go back and by god I'm probably one of the biggest halo fans out there, I have literally NO idea why I stopped playing this. There's simply nothing out there like halo. All this hype just makes me wonder how gigantic halo infinite's launch will be with it coming to PC as well. And I'm sure halo MCC good word of mouth would generate some more pc to (next) Xbox users. This'll probably be the only game pass game I'll buy as well tbh.

It's on the list of goals, to be shared's, and it's in the pipeline's.
They could have given something. A lot of what they're doing gives an impression that they aren't confident in what they're working on despite it apparently being so far in development that beta tests for one or two of the games are practically ready. They could have given info just about Reach, if that's the one with the most progress, and held the caveats for the rest of the games, I don't know.
OP
OP
I'm willing to bet it's going to be in the flight. It's a per-game basis for now but sounded like it was already being worked on in the QA
Something tells me this is a loose outline of the plan. I think it's more likely that they release when they are ready, and not according to a specific schedule.
