Halo: The Master Chief Collection V2.0 |OT| There Are Those That Said This Day Would Never Come...

Then I lose Xbox rep and could possible get put in with quiters and cheaters in Xbox 1st Party Games.
Nothing confirmed. They've recognized it as something the community really wants (even in official FAQs), and some screens from the test version seemed to leave a slot for another game beyond ODST, but never anything solid-solid.
https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/...18/94da4bd0-3308-4fb6-aae2-99840f7ea9b5/posts - all playlists are up and some have been tweaked (less team snipers!).
I liked this, Halo 3 had some okay maps, but these were the worst.
Halo 2 still has the best quality maps. Halo 1 is close

I hope their next planned updates include some kind if progression system for completing matches, maybe even daily challenges to keep players coming back. Though I'm unsure how they could reward players for ranking up. Perhaps title cards, but that's not very enticing.
Because competitive CE is best with 2v2 and what hardcore players enjoy most.
4v4 CE can be a little too chaotic for the general Halo audience since most of the maps are designed around 4 players or less.
Having just played a match of it - yes, this is 100% true!
I'm wondering if there aren't too many playlists now. I've been searching in H2A Team Arena for five minutes and can't find anything.
In Halo 1 it doesn't show when people have Overshield. That's what happened here.
One of the several improvements made with Halo 2 onward, having an effect for OS lol.
1. The pistol is a power weapon (that everyone spawns with) so your first death is not surprising.
2. Halo 1 has really bad spawns, combined with spawning infront of a grenade (which is a mininuke in Halo 1) it can make for a bad time.
3. The guy you were shooting at more than likely had overshield, it has no visual indicator on the player in Halo 1.
Yeah, plus it prevents people from being invisible with OS aswell. It's just too bad default OS was nerfed in Halo 3, it's practically useless except for the brief invincibility you get when picking it up.
I've had a blast in the Big Team Battle playlist.
Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo 4 ran fine. I had quite a bit of lag in Halo 2 classic. Don't know if it's the net code of the old game struggling with 16 players but I only had 1 match so it might have been a one off.
CTF in Halo 2: Anniversary on Bloodline was just fantastic.

Only thing bad about the Big Team Battle Playlist is that Halo 4 is in it.
Loving it otherwise.

Love this post and you are 100% right. Its baffling to me that H3 is the favorite child to like 75% of the Halo population. The game had aged terribly and is only slightly playable nowadays with MLG settings. I say this as someone with a 4 star general, a 50 in every playlist, and attended half a dozen H3 MLG events. Played the shit out of it for community and cuz there was nothing better at the time. Otherwise its garbage and always has been.
Halo 2 has better aiming, better movement, faster and more dynamic gameplay, and better maps. Every encounter feels like you are in control of the outcome and theres always an out at ur disposal until the very second you die. With better graphics it would still feel modern. Honestly I could play it forever and I just might.
The only thing stopping me from getting into Halo 2 classic is the button combo nonsense. I played that one online after Halo 3, so I never had time to learn all the glitches to succeed in that game.
probably because Halo 2's original run was infested with glitching and cheating. Halo 3 was the first Halo online game where everyone stayed on the damn map
So how do I turn on HDR? Started the game and I can't find an HDR setting anywhere and my TV is not flipping into HDR mode
Edit: never mind, got it working sorry

Yeah, I would definitely argue Halo 3 is more of a case of never being good than aging poorly. This isn't some hot take made with the benefit of hindsight, I didn't like the game back when it came out either (this coming from somebody who played thousands of hours of Halo 1 and 2 prior to the release of 3), and if you were on the MLG forums back in 2007 you would have seen a ton of other people with this same opinion.
The game plays like a slow, clunky, dumbed down and much more random version of Halo 2. The list of gameplay changes they made that wasn't for the worst is very small.
Halo 3 was broken at launch as well. Remember the hilariously bad melee system where the first person to melee doesn't win, rather the one with slightly more health.
I remember my first time playing Halo 3 at release and thinking I accidentally changed the speed and gravity lol. It's the same feeling I had when playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Halo 4 has some great BTB maps, come on.
In fact, I'd even say every map in Halo 4 is better than any map in Halo 5.
I believe they are yes, but I believe they're all slightly different.
I don't, glad they are no longer an issue in Halo 2 classic matchmaking anymore.
There is a difirence between something that is broken and something that is just a shitty design. Halo 3's original melee system worked as Bungie intended, it was just a shitty design (like non-hitscan and random BR spread). Halo 2 was just a buggy mess!
I wouldn't call any Halo 5 map phenomenal. Some of the base maps are solid like Coliseum, Fathom, Truth, but aside from Truth (since it's Midship), none of them will be remembered when we've all moved on to Infinite. They all look so samey and stale and the adherence to largely making symmetrical maps makes them boring.
Halo 2 still has the best overall suite of maps.
Man I love overgrowth and molten just to name 2. I think halo 5s mp is just so well designed that it makes all the maps feel great. I love how quickly you can transverse the maps, and how they all have little areas to climb up and such. There are just so many different ways to approach the maps in Halo 5. I really hope infinite builds off of all that and does throw it away because they didn't hit some sales projection.
Can't agree with that. Take Halo 2 and 3 maps for objective 1 or 2 sided and tell me Halo 5 has anything even remotely as good. It's completely missing very large segments of what made Halo 2/3 so fucking great.
For MLG/HCS I can see your argument but for an objective or asymmetrical or light vehicle player for 4v4 Halo is total shit. I love Halo 5 for the gunplay and movement but the maps and modes are total ass outside of a narrow corridor for esports type players.
Lol no. It has the worst maps in the series. Even 4 had better ones.
No lies detected. Pretty much every map except Backwash plays well and works for multiple game types. Breadth and depth.
I will always hope for more H2A maps for this reason. I want to see those classics given new life.
