Uhh, is the game going to have a large enough population to sustain this?



What a bad opinion to have.

If I wanted to play Custom Games, Halo 5 is right there, otherwise why would I bother with Halo 3: the game with really awful aiming controls, map design and weapon balancing when Halo 2 AND Eldewrito are easily accessible.

Vanilla H3 is a fuckin wash

Halo CE - Camapign
Halo 2 - Campaign
Halo 3 - Campaign AND Multiplayer
Halo 4 - Multiplayer

That's how I'd do it. Not including the campaign-only option of ODST. Reach if they ever got to it though, Campaign AND Multiplayer.

Good news now I can uninstall all the multiplayer and just enjoy all the campaigns . File size was starting to get rediculous .

If Reach ever gets into MCC I hope Sword Base is the only map in rotation, the perfect hell for you Reach fans

I wonder if there is a technical reason cross game playlists are being removed.

I really liked that part of MCC. :(

That's because you have 1 BTB Playlist, in which all games are included. What Ske7ch is saying (and what people are worried about) is that Playlists will be per-game, so you could have 5 different BTB Playlists.

Fair enough. I'm certainly going to be part of the problem in that I will not be installing Halo 4. I guess this begs the question of how is the multiplayer scene in classic Halo 3&4?

I guess I didn't realize this was happening. Having said that, I see no reason why they couldn't be brought back at a later date.

I'll probably keep the Halo 1 campaign and then the Halo 1-3 multiplayer.

It would be nice if we could get the OG menus from each game back

This is very good.

But seeing those tweets, I'm worried about playlist management. I know the game will relaunch on GamePass, but I still have my doubts if this will be enough to drive the player base back to it, in order to sustain a player base for 4 titles.. I don't know.

All this trash talk on Halo 4... TMCC Halo 4 MP ain't bad, feels a lot better than what i remembered on 360. Halo 4 Swat feels great.

Having a non-blurry Reach as part of the MCC would be amazing. The BC is already great, but their temporal AA solution really, really hurts the game´s visual quality.

Also, Reach has the best Halo AI ever. Fast and aggressive, yet manageable.

Accomodates people that only want to install certain games.

I swear Sketch mentioned somewhere that cross game playlists could be revisited in the future.

I mean, why not just add those to the list rather than replace existing playlists, then?

IIRC cross-game playlists were apparently part of what caused some of MCC's issues

This makes more sense to me and I guess when I think about it is understandable given the voodoo it probably takes to get various games booted up with a overlying network code

You're telling me the game has 100GB install size without 4K textures? 'Cause when I put the disc in it installs about 50GB and downloads about 50GB. None of that update is for the X?

Shouldnt be. As its only downloads X updates if you have a X or you specificly ticked a box in the settings you want to download 4k patches.

Nice. Glad to see there will be dedicated playlists for each game - I've always wanted 4v4 and 8v8 Halo 1 but for the longest time MCC removed 4v4 and made it 2v2!

If MCC fixes actually work, I may consider an Xbone X for this (provided it still remains console exclusive and never comes to PC).

What's with all the Halo 4 dislike? When the next Halo game comes out, I'm sure that Halo 5 is going to be equally mocked, simply because this new trilogy frankly feels tired and out of ideas.

For the record, I play the Halo: CE playlist exclusively on the MCC.

Its 99gb on the X. It decreased after the X was released as they optimized it abit. Otherwise it would haven been arround 110gb.

based on this picture, can't we determine that halo 1,2,3,odst 70 gb and halo 4 is ~18 gb ? Looks pretty obvious to me

so if you're wondering about download size, there's your sign

Hopefully the playlist separation reduces the amount of quitters. I feel like the cross playlist just makes some players immediately exit the game if the vote is a mode/game they didn't want.

Glad I'm not some filthy outcast for enjoying halo 4's MP the most in this package. I played a shit ton of it before Halo 5 dropped and it is great, not quite as great as Halo 5 the abilities are still trash but the weapons look and feel great.

I cannot wait to see what H2 Anniversary looks like running on an Xbox One X

Also, there's a new flight coming in the next few weeks per the 343 interview on Inside Xbox.

More games really should give these kind of options. I'd love to be able to save HDD space by leaving the multiplayer portions out, and all languange files I don't need.

Yeah, this is awesome. I hope they start doing this for all their games going forward. Gears 4 is really out of control. Over 120GB last I checked.

Halo 3 MP is worse than Halo 2, Halo 5 and probably Halo: CE too. It marks the start of the Bungie multiplayer sliding into loadouts, gadgets, spartan abilities and other nonsense.

Yet, because it was on 360 it was the first Halo game many people played and therefore kept getting selected on MCC playlists despite being worse than the other options. So yeah, being able to play Halo 2 playlists without having to worry about Halo 3 getting in the way is a tantalising prospect for many old school Halo fans.
