I have 5.1 speakers and game still sounds like ass.
Also why the hell game menus is eating 70-90% of my CPU? I know its made in Unreal Engine 4, but cmon.
Glad that i don't bought MCC on Steam, this game is waste of money for now.
I can excuse many issues that come with a legacy port. These things naturally comes with some limitations and pains. It was never going to be a amazing PC game.
But how do you ship when the sound is broken? Shirt sounds like it was filtered through the N64

There's a digital foundry video. Extends draw distance and a few other relatively minor things, tweaks really.
PC Gamepass version. Game isn't working for me.
Fully uninstalled > Reinstalled
First time it launched (From Start Menu) it crashed before the menu.
Second time it launched to menu and started to Sync data and them locked up and I had to force close
Third time it launched to the initial "Hit Enter" screen and then started to load and froze and never proceeded and I had to force close
Tried to uninstall > reinstall again
Fourth time it launched and popped up the Windows Store itself and asked me to install Halo REACH, figured I'd try it... that downloaded something
Fifth time it launched and started the process from the second time all over and now it just goes to the spinning loading bar before the main menu and freezes
One time when I forced the game to close it popped up a security violation error from the anti-cheat but it's not clear if that's the reason it's freezing.
Anyone else experience this? Running fully updated Win10 Pro with version 1911.1001.8.8 of the Xbox App.

To add to the pile of issues:
Anyone experiencing this:
When I click play from the gamepass menu or from the start menu icon, all I get is that screen. I can move it around but its not doing anything really.

I had issues with it being jittery when playing in borderless but once I switched to full screen I had zero issues.
You need to update the client. Took a while to find and there are multiple spots in the launcher that says "update", but that's what's missing for you.
Thank you, I had to go into the Windows Store to update it as the gamepass launcher would just say play and not give me the option.

I wish graphics settings were a bit more customisable, like antialiasing, anisotropic filter, etc.
And man, I want the resolution slider to be cranked up to 200% so i don't have to use the Nvidia DSR setting to play at 4K.
Other than that, the game plays like a dream. 343, Ruffian and Splash Damage really did a good job.
Edit: I don't know why but I have screen tearing when playing in borderless mode with vsync disabled when I shouldn't have it. Why is that?

I'm pretty sure I felt it dropping inputs when I played. There's baffling design like the game not allowing you to crouch when moving and the slow wind-down when strafing, it's hard to see through that mess but I think some keyboard presses were just omitted. Felt bad anyway.
i7-8700K
16GB DDR4 3000Mh/z
Nvidia 1080ti
Running the Steam version at 3840x2160 at 60FPS, and it's been smooth sailing. I don't want to bother with the higher frame rate options while they are still experimental, but I imagine there's a lot of headroom, especially if I dial it back down to 1440p.

Had to up the mouse sensitivity to 3.0 but the game runs pretty smooth for me (9900K, 32GB, 2080 8GB running at 1920x1200/60fps - thank you 343 for 16:10 support!).
Super happy they put in the center crosshair and FOV options! That was a nice surprise for launch but there are still a few bugs to work out, namely my resolution not sticking in fullscreen mode and the audio quality among others.

Experimental options are experimental :P
Uncapped is not the way to play right now. Hopefully they can get the frame pacing issues it brings under control.

I never played Halo before. Can I replicate the Xbox 360 experience with this port? 720p controller 30 fps auto aim
If you have a Gsync monitor, turn Vsync on under Nvidia's drivers.
Why is uncapped the default option, then?
I get what you mean, I just find it baffling.
I would say that it actually does feel like a high refresh rate game, but doesn't look it. Which is weird. The mouse input is pretty decent right now I think. If the unlocked framerate can be fixed it may end up feeling very good.
Have you installed the update? Just to be sure go to the Microsoft/Windows Store and click the "Get updates" button to see if a Halo: TMCC update pops up. If it does, install and try to launch from the Start Menu.To add to the pile of issues:

My game defaulted to 60FPS on Steam.
Did you clear out your files from the flights? It may be using the settings you had for those:
I assume it's fine if I do it after installing as well? Like, it should just regenerate those files if they're only configuration settings?
That much you can do, but if you want a perfectly faithful recreation, it isn't possible. They've made adjustments like for example switching the primitive approach to TAA to a more modern and accurate one, which ends up slightly affecting the look of the game. The original implementation was very blurry and also lended a bloom effect of sorts to the game, which gives it a slightly different feel. It's mostly for the worse, due to how blurry it was, but it's still different.
Do not use it. It does not work at all like it should.
An application of Reshade in various ways could easily replicate that bloomy look from the first game. Even ghosting if you wanted ;)
The one thing it could really never add would be the full screen motion blur - at least in the current state of the game.
I think the issues are being a little overblown. I'm sure they're already on it.
Anyone outright declaring it a terrible port is a troll.

Only Reach so far, so if you buy the collection you're effectively preordering the rest.
The full pack is a bundle so it should automatically deduct Reach from the price.
I saw a thread on Reddit that said the opposite. No discount if you own Reach. Is that wrong?
Like do not use the unlocked refresh rate at all? 60 fps lock is better right now?
If I try to [purchase MCC it says this "
Halo: The Master Chief Collection: According to our records, you already own one or more of the items included in this package on Steam.
If purchasing for yourself, you will notreceive an extra copy of:
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection
- Halo: Reach
So, if I refund reach and buy the MCC can I play Reach now?
It looks utterly pointless for me to keep Reach on its own...
I tried this and it looked even worse. I cant tell if its a frame pacing issue or microstuttering or what. But I fired up a few other games to make sure it wasn't my PC at fault and those games were all buttery smooth.
Yeah, I assume so. I don't see a reason why you shouldn't be able to play Reach if you refund it and get the full collection.
There's no discount for owning Reach. I only bought Reach on Steam, and when I go to buy the full collection, it wants to charge the full price, even on the final step in checkout.
Oh, right, didn't even cross my mind.
Curious to see how that would look, actually, without the ghosting.
