Correct, and they've written about how they want to continue to support Master Chief Collection even after this series of updates is done. So there's hope for things like Firefight, Reach, etc.

I hope they commission more H2A maps, honestly, but that's probably way outside the scope of the team.
yeah H2A has alot of potential. They should definitely get Certain Affinity to make more maps for it.

Honestly, just about every Halo 2 map is a classic that needs a remaster.
I mean, I played thousands of matches on those maps, but they really are classics. The fact that I can still name all of them, the strategies we used, stories from matches some 14 years later is a testament to it.

There are maps in that game that I adore that haven't been remade in later titles and it still makes me sad. Burial Mounds, Terminal, Waterworks, they're all so good.

*after watching the eldewrito vid*

I want dyanmic weather/TOD in Halo 6 MP, it could be a cool way to make the maps feel just a bit different every time

does any game do that?

Good move if true. Every studio should have a legacy team. So useful.

Terminal, Relic, Containment, Turf and WaterWorks have a special place in my heart

With 343i's issue of visual clarity I don't want this at all.

Warzone Firefight is my jam, wish we had more maps. I also wish Raid on Apex 7 was clean like Silent Cartographer, and not a jumbled up mess full of enemies you whip around to find. It could be so good, but it's so bad.

Really hope Eldewrito picks up with this release, and 343/MS let it slide. Really excited for this project.

Which would be a shame, but I can see why they would in that scenario.
Yeah I wont fully blame them, but if they do C&D it because of that reason, the PC version of MCC should be announced first because it will come off as a "No Halo on PC EVER" kinda thing if they do it before an announcement imo.

They're treading on some dangerous ground I'd imagine, given there is ported content from Xbox (Not other halo online builds) in that trailer. If they start porting over maps and the campaigns from H3 and ODST as some of the dev's have discussed I imagine there'd be a real issue.

I've also heard that a certain individual on the team has been wanting to claim that they fixed things in ED that 343 broke in the MCC... even though it's false. If they do that I imagine 343 and MS will show them no mercy. Or maybe that's their plan if they get taken down.

I stopped associating with the game and it's content when some stuff came out about the lengths they went to obtain early versions of the game, as well as content off a server that was supposed to be private.

Wondering what team can form to possibly take down Splyce at this point.

Saiyan is the building block IMO. The team I wanted on NV after Huke left was Pistola, Mikwen, Snipedown, and Saiyan. or the current NV with Snipedown in over Trippey.

We all said this last year about OG/Tox. There'll be somebody.

I haven't paid attention to the pro circuit in a while. Do Lunchbox and Roy still play? I know Ninja just plays fortnight now lol.

Halo's story is in such a bad place with the AI uprising cliche, even if it's only some AI. I was just reminded of this from some youtube thumbnail.

Yeah. I'm hoping that becomes a sub plot to a grander scheme.

I also think the guardian concept is forced and unsatisfying.

I just wanted to share this fun play I had the other day in the Halo 3 playlist!



Please bring the Halo 3 playlist back 343!

That weapon was such a headache to place. The map was cycled back to me twice from 343i's internal testing to revise the Missile Pod placement. It's the only weapon, other than mounted turrets, with collision physics (a solid object). If you were to drop the weapon in that hallway after a few shots players would get stuck on it rather than clip through like every other weapon. The fix was to set the physics to Normal, instead of Phased/Fixed, and place all 4 copies of the weapon (a requirement of Static Timed Weapons) in different positions on the floor. So instead of tripping over it you can kick it around.

That's really interesting to read. Thanks for sharing.

High-FOV Halo looks so weird to me, being able to see that much of the Spartan's arms lol

Sounds pretty sketchy.

Probably wouldn't look so wierd of it was designed to support high FoV

"Halo: Genesis [Reboot, Splitscreen, new engine, Warzone 2.0, MP Beta 2018, Teaser Trailer Fall 2019]"

Obviously fake. Who made this? :S

Nice! The beta comes out before the teaser!

Teaser trailer at E3 - 2018. Mp beta in 2018, Release - 2019 Fall. But this will be fake. Reboot after Halo 5/Halo Wars 2 story? Impossible.

I disagree pretty strongly. The cliché is much more Skynet than what we have here - AI goes rogue, decides to KILL ALL HU-MONS because reasons. Cortana is more of a Well-Intentioned Extremist with godlike intellect and access to powers beyond human understanding, that's got a lot of potential.

Plus, it sort of evokes earlier material like the secret cabal of AIs actually ruling humanity, but now with mecha-grunts. That shit's dope.

Just upgraded my 4K set to a 55inch set and just got a PS4 pro and the 4K content looks amazing on there, with all the BC stuff and MCC being in 4K, I am highly considering a XBO X.

You should really pick up the X if you have a 4K tv, games look amazing.

Also, I finally unlocked all reqs in Halo 5 (except dlc stuff) thanks to the giveaways during the HWC streams. Haven't had time to play as much last few months, but these giveaways helped me complete the collection which I didn't think I'd be able to do.

So many things to unlock... I'm almost level 99 and siting at 62% for the customizations...

I'm never going to make it to more than 110 before the next game (whatever it is) hits...

There is a local auction site I go to that usually has open box items. Got my Pro for $180 and I am hoping I can get an X for that
