TheMightyEthan Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 So, as an apology to everyone who bought the MCC for its horrific multiplayer problems, anyone who played the game while connected to Xbox Live between launch and yesterday will receive a free month of XBL Gold, an exclusive in game nameplate and avatar, and, more excitingly, the ODST campaign ported to Xbox One. http://news.xbox.com/2014/12/games-halo-thank-you-to-our-fans This is especially awesome for me since the problems were all with multiplayer and I don't give two shits about multiplayer so I was unaffected, but get the bonus anyway.

Mal Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 And they fucking redoing ODST campaign which I didn't think would see the light of day so fast. Now they only need to do Reach. Also I recall the problems for the MCC extended to single player with wonky checkpoints and shit. I guess you lucked out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I actually had the checkpoint problem a couple times, but I usually don't quit in the middle of a level so it wasn't a big deal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 From the trailers. While the trailers for Halo traditionally have the Chief in dire situations and such, I cry bullshit at the thought that the Chief getting beat by Locke. I will never get off the Halo lore train. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Halo 5 opening cinematic. Well done but a majority of shit shown is not possible in game... I think? Maybe our Chief is outdated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Most of it is just the kind of stuff that always shows up in cinematics that you can't do in gameplay, like being more acrobatic, swinging around, grabbing guys and shooting them, etc. The only thing I saw that appears to go beyond that is their ground-punch thing, which is a new thing they've added to the armor of the Spartan IV's, so yes Chief is outdated in that respect. IIRC Spartan IV's aren't as physically capable as the Spartan II's (what Chief is), but they've obviously got newer equipment since Chief hasn't been in contact with the UNSC for a while.

Mal Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Some pretty bad pop-ins despite the compromises but seems like it's at a rock solid 60 fps. I'm honestly quite surprised they took this route but hats off to 343i for doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I actually would have preferred they stick with 30 fps and not made the visual compromises. Halo has always been 30 fps and has always felt great, so there's no reason they needed to up it. I don't feel strongly about that though, and the increased temporal resolution is nice.

Mal Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I didn't realize that Halo 5 didn't have split screen co-op or matchmaking... what the fuck 343? Couch co-op Halo is a selling point. A lot of my memories were tied to couch co-op. I didn't know it lost split screen and almost egged one of my buddies to keep his Xbone (He was thinking and did return it since he didn't have the time to dedicate to gaming and such) so we could do co-op. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yeah, I had forgotten until I went to play co-op with my wife. Massive disappointment. Bright side is that Frank O'Conner said due to the backlash they're seriously reconsidering it for Halo 6, though sadly they can't patch it in to Halo 5 without massively reworking the engine.

Mal Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Okay, they actually made the heft of the sodding thing realistic. Props to them! Makes how the Chief and the Brutes wielding the hammer rather effortlessly the more impressive (if it were even close to real). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainMan Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Has anyone heard of Halo Online or Installation 01? Both worked on by fans, but Installation 01 is built from scratch and is supported by Microsoft. Halo Online is a modified version of the Russia-only free2play Halo game. It's actually gotten really badass, looks like a Halo game on its own now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Wasn't Halo Online shut down by MS? P.S. I saw there was a post in this thread and was overcome by a sudden and unreasonable belief that they must have announced a PC port of the MCC.

MetalCaveman Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Halo Online was officially shut down, but people are trying to keep it alive on their own servers. Hadn't heard about Installation 01 but it sounds interesting, though I rarely played Halo MP, I mostly stuck to campaign or coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they just need to port it to PC... They're porting it to PC! And it will be on Steam! Also they're adding Reach to it! Apparently it will launch episodically on PC, with Reach coming out first, then progressing in chronological order from there. No news yet on a release date, but there's supposed to be more info coming this weekend. I was hoping it was going to be one of those simultaneous announcements/releases... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
