No way that's just for Reach right? Surely that's the entirety of MCC otherwise it'd be so incompetent to not have preload.
Keep in mind this was an accidental push so file size can change.

Is Halo MP accessible to get into for newcomers?

Asking in as both a newcomer to Halo and as a relative newcomer to multiplayer shooters. I got to first prestige in Titanfall 2, usually with the lowest kills/most deaths on a team, so that's about where my MP shooting experience is at

Its a very different play style to something like Titanfall, but if you play 20/30 matches, watch some gameplay of pros on youtube, some tip videos, you'll get the hang of it.

I hope this goes up on xbox sooner than 6pm tomorrow, bummer if not. I also hope that 343 sort out the competitive playlist on Xbox, it's empty most of the time and full of shit modes.

I was worried about this. This map pool for hardcore is very limited. I don't want to play shitty Reach with armor abilities and 75% bloom, and hardcore is going to be sweaty and feature less maps. Unfortunately there's no ideal form of Halo Reach, at least having a toggle for classic settings in mixtape would help (No AAs, even starts).

It's 8v8

I mean, that was always a problem for Reach in general since all the non-Forge maps are campaign locations. The balance in the majority of the non-forge maps was awful.

Also in regards to matchmaking, keep in mind MCC features a match composer so you can be incredibly selective of what you actually want to play, it will just extend your wait time.

Yeah at least a few more maps for hardcore would be nice Anchor 9, Condemned and Solitary.

If only mixtape matchmaking had a classic toggle for Reach and 4 that removed AAs and loadouts.

God bless the return of Firefight. Still boggling that ODST Firefight isn't in this still though, but oh, we just had to include the god awful Spartan Ops.

Hardcore has the best maps, I'm so happy I don't have to fucking touch sword base or the cage in that playlist

Yeah I'm glad Sword base, powerhouse and boardwalk aren't there as they're all bad but a few more DLC maps would be nice.

Bummer it's the worst version.

They've acknowledged demand for ODST Firefight in the past. Fingers crossed that they add it in eventually. Hopefully when ODST's campaign is released for PC.

Really great to see the DLC maps in the 4v4 and 8v8 playlist. Can't wait.

Oh shit, tomorrow? For some reason I thought it was next Tuesday. Work is fucking with my concept of time.

And I have the day off tomorrow, so I'm gonna enjoy this!

The 34GB size makes me hopeful that it isnt a glitch and it means 4K textures but yeah, i doubt it.

I can't decide whether to head straight for the vault or straight for the club. Or maybe I should see if I can hop in a Seraph.
