HDR really makes the artstyle shine.

So good.

It really does. I planned to play through the first 2 levels of the campaigns starting with Halo CE to see what they looked like in 4k and HDR. Ended up spending the evening on just the first game. After viewing it, Halo is the perfect match with HDR, and I haven't even gotten to the later titles.

Will be interesting to see the player population once game pass comes out. Hopefully their good will goes a long way with the fan base.

Man, I just played the first 2 chapters on H2A. This game looks like a new release except the UI which looks dated. But the levels itself are insane detailed and clean. Even the character models look great even upclose. 4K really lets the game shine ...

I'm still not crazy about the Halo Anniversary look, but man a solid frame rate and upgraded resolution + proper HDR help make it look a lot more pleasant

I originally didn't love the H1 Anniversary look, but it's grown on me, even before this new round of polish. I won't lie, the degree to which "Aliens" designs/style are used front-and-center makes the vanilla art direction in Halo 1 feel...amateurish at this point. It goes well past referencing, and into relying on. The updated art helps the game get some distance there.

H2A definitely keeps things tighter to the original while making it look current-gen, and that game looks gorgeous.

I played some of this last night and the matchmaking was solid and fast. Games ran very smooth and looked great.

Very impressed with the progress they've made.

There is a big difference between the game not working right now compared to what caused the old game to not work. I know this word is technically wrong to use, but patience is needed right now

The weapon shifting closer/farther from the screen when looking up and down is broken in Anniversary graphics. Had been reporting this issue the entire insider build and it's still not on their known issues list despite this. At least they added the Halo 4 LoD issue to their known issues.

The question is, is it an issue or a design choice?

11:00 AM PDT Update
We believe we have resolved the issue with our game services that impacted Halo 5, Halo Wars 2, and Halo: MCC this morning. We are seeing and hearing from players that matchmaking is up and running again. Please note that it's possible we could see intermittent hiccups as things return to normal and we will continue to keep a close eye on everything. Thank you for working through this issue with us - this is why we wanted to release the update ahead of our Xbox Game Pass release on 9/1. Now jump in and let's play!

Wait is ODST by default now included also? I didnt have it before.

Just to clarify what other ppl said: ODST was a freebie gift as an apology from 343 over HMCC's botched launch. Your account had to show HMCC gameplay between Nov. 11-Dec 19, 2014. (Wow, what a long time ago that was.) But based on how good ODST looks in 4K/HDR in this updated version on XB1X, $5 as an add-on ain't too shabby, if you're showing up late. Just be warned: the add-on does *not* include ODST's Firefight modes. 343 hasn't commented on the possibility of those coming to HMCC :-\

huh, I bought MCC at launch and don't think I have ODST.

Was there a redemption time limit or something?

They should have been giving away ODST to anyone who played before yesterday. The game was still complete shit in December 2014 and wasn't even fully functional when they abandoned it in June 2015.

Iirc they sent a code into your message inbox and you needed to apply it.
