Well - i think i fucked up.

The game auto detected the 4GB update but I thought i'd be celevr and go into "manage game". in there I could see a new entry for campaign, so i ticked that to download it and hit save...the game immediately switched the 4GB update to be 48GB! i.e. it's installing the multiplayer again even though it already had it.

The xbox is finicky about updates and i think me messing in the menus altered the original update - if that happens it just wipes the whole game and you have to install again.

So I'm utterly dependent on cloud working and I doubt they enable it because the servers will crash.

I think the same thing happened to me this morning, I'm about to leave for work so I just have to hope it sorts itself out by the time I get home.

I'll prob play campaign on quality mode, too many framedrops and no vrr support on performance.

I'll try both though.

No VRR is mind boggling. Like this is their flagship game and VRR is something they tout that Playstation doesn't have yet. My OLED is sad. Same goes for the brightness issue and the cutscene stutter. The gameplay is fantastic but the presentation leaves a bit to be desired.

jesus christ guys i am so fucking sick of windows store. campaign installed before i left my place, turned off my pc. got home now and now its fucking doing this.

microsoft needs to get their shit together when it comes to this. jesus.

im reinstalling btw. uninstalling and reinstalling gaming services thru powershell did fuck all.

Fuck. Lemme know if that works. This is absolutely rediculous. I was playing multi right before the campaign download went live just fine. Now I can't even launch it without this weird Gaming Services prompt in the Windows Store. What the actual fuck. This is not a great first impression of Game Pass and Windows Store I know that much. Shoulda just bought it on Steam.

Not sure whats going on with some of your games on here, I'm running quality mode on XSX on my c9, visually its outstanding, no stutter or framedrops.

Sometimes if you "quick resume" the game and start playing again, you get some crazy input lag and framerate stutter. I'd "quit" and restart it.

See if that works for those w/ issues between campaign and MP.

As per brightness, I heard Dolby Vision had some issues making things washed out. I am just using HDR 10.

The only thing I'm having an issue with was actually activation Dolby Vision w/ quality mode before I found out it was borked (maybe it was fixed tho? I saw a thread on it on Reddit like 20 days ago). Wouldn't let me select anything other than performance on my c9. Maybe because I had VRR selected? No idea.

120 fps is only really relevant for MP, but there it does feel amazing. I really enjoy it for Halo and Fortnite.
Thanks. That's good to know. I am wondering if I should get a $400-$500 one or a very cheap one that maxes out at like 1080p for $200 and get a Series S to basically play MP only on it. I have a Series X but switching cables to the monitors could get annoying since I am on a 4K monitor already for it.

So, in the campaign do we get to upgrade things like Grenade stock from the default of 2?

Yea the only reason I would ever use XBOX App is for gamepass.

Otherwise I get it on Steam.

I have MCC on Steam and Infinite on XBOX.

Ill switch back to steam when campaign has a price drop.

My only experience with Halo was ODST years ago. Is it worth revisit the franchise with Masterchief Collection or should I jump directly into Infinite? Series X here (if this is relevant in any way).

In another thread someone was posting in all caps that it's a genuine problem and does delete the multiplayer part that was already downloaded (which is what I feared). No Halo for me tonight!

Having a ton of fun already. The game looks great in 4k and the grapplehook is such an excellent addition. Also the mangler is OP in campaign just like in multiplayer lol.

And goddamn... Halo combat with infinite grapple is just beyond great. I knew how good it felt in MP in general, and playing around with bots with infinite ammo... but to be playing Legendary Halo combat with this movement is just pure bliss.

yeah I dunno what's going on there, hopefully it's being looked into.

answered my own question, from the TA review

" although with both Skulls and logs hidden away in unrepeatable story missions, you'll either need to be very thorough or prepared to do multiple runs to grab the lot."

thats lame, ill wait for collectible guides before playing this then

At least it shows you the Area Collectibles so you know as you go I guess.

This feels so good to play, improved from the old Halo games and I have probably fell to my death like 40 times using the grapple in the 2nd level. Lol

MCC is a great way to experience the older titles, but I never recommend playing all older games before the new one. You will just burn yourself out. Play Infinite and if you like it you can always go back.

ODST and Reach were the last I completed (played a few hours of 4) so I'm in the same boat but there are some decent videos on Youtube that kinda explain what happened in 4-5. You could probably watch one or two while waiting for it to download.

Ultimately aside from a few key things I don't think you'd be missing too much.

~21GB or something [cannae remember, at work now while it downlaods].

The input lag is pretty bad for the campaign. Didn't notice this in multiplayer

yup, this. id say jump in with infinite and if you love it go back. the other games are phenomenal but playing all 7 of them before this is something i wouldnt recommend. unless youre in no rush to play infinite and want to play the other ones over the course of an extended period

I mean, I started the campaign and the performance seems great?

Sure, I'm still in the first mission inside the ship, but I'm getting 120+fps at 3440x1440 max settings with my 3080 + 5600x.

VRR is working as well, as long as I disable vsync and both fps limiters.

The opening level really emphasizes "you can go anywhere!" There are no invisible walls.

The opening cut scenes are so good, too.

I'm so glad you're back, Chief!

How do I actually download the game on pc gamepass. I guess I installed the MP on accident but I still don't see a campaign option.

Found the first skull, put in spoilers if you don't want to see:

When you get to this room, clear out enemies first.

Then go to the top level, the middle moving container.

First level already had you doing some badass cutscene Master Chief shit while playing, grapple hook is soooo good.

Heroic felt super easy on the first level, hope it's just because it was a tutorial.

The OST is good after one listen. If I had one criticism it might lean a bit too much into the CE motifs and vibes, but I can't knock it too much because that's what it's trying to do, and all the little remixes do justice to the iconic themes.
