We finally won, bros

Wuuuuuuuuut? Does that mean I can finally see what the fuss around the series is about? But I heard from somebody a long time ago that the Master Chief Collection is apparently unstable.

>Should Microsoft even try to make a new console?

Of course not. Xbox has lost money for 3 generations. And they know that even Sony will get destroyed once Google and Amazon enter the market. Everyone has to jump ship now.

In high school, a friend would come over every day after school and we'd autisticly try to cram vehicles into strange places in the first game which would usually result in us falling through the world.

Holy shit... I never thought I would feel this strongly about a Halo release, but it's like I'm a teenager back in my family's game room playing on a shitty little CRT hooked up straight to the modem while my dad is watching sports on the big TV.

They did it to fuck ebin games.

Praise Microsoft and gabe

Apparently they fixed those issues a while back
Thanks for beta-testing Xbots

>slow fps made for console babies
no thanks

Fucking finally. Took them long enough, but late is always better than never I suppose.

No problem bro. Can't wait to transfer to my 1600$ pc for halo after all these years

We had so many fakes over the years that i can't even believe this is real. I'm tearing up here.

WHEN THE FUCK IS IT RELEASING MICROSHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

2 is the most technically demanding what with all the glitches/tricks.

Why the fuck would anyone who actually played PC FPS give a fuck about this shit. It's the game that literally ruined the genre for decades by introducing the idea that movement should be gutted to be slow and aiming should be gimped.

I'm expecting them to not bother announcing anything yet. Then at E3, just throwing out a "it's available now!" thing.

>Need to pay for Reach campaign to play Firefight
shit

How big will the file be? Shouldnt it be massive since it's like 5 games. Gonna take 3 days to dl

>buy all these games
>steam one day shuts down
>all your games are lost in time

On Xbone it's almost 60GB.

you don't have to buy it, each game is sold separately

They're releasing them one by one, starting with Reach, then 1, then 2 etc.
So it won't be large until the last one is out.

OK
now let's get MS to port this to Linux and then we can finally say we've won.

Can you choose to play it with the old graphics?

>every game ever made is still available to pirate

it's a big boy, all game total are easily over 100GB

Yes and no.
They had shield regen while health was a seperate value from the shield value. Most likely a dev got inspired from Halo and that led to health regen happening because no shield was in the game.

They're not. They're all in the same package, the MCC you buy on Steam/Win10, but they're coming out one at a time.

I think its 60-80gb on xbone, will be higher with reach. However the games are coming out 1 by 1, so unless you install after all the games come out, should be 10-15gb each.

Nice

it's fun, invasion is well worth the multiplayer

the campaign is the best if you're not all about muhchief
the multiplayer is really wonky compared to the other games and most people call it trash, I personally don't mind it but it ends up playing way different than the previous games.

Kinda, multiplayer is okay but kinda paved the way to the drab grey shit and with the armor abilities. Single Player stands up with the best of them.

Yes.

Each game has its own separate multiplayer. Online used to work by people voting which game mode and which game they wanted to play with on the matchmaking lobby. Its now updated that you won't have to play any multiplayer game you didn't want to play, for example you can cross off halo 4 if you don't want to play it.

Server browser might come back as it was in halo 1 pc, this would be the optimal way to choose between the multiplayer modes, but we still lack information.

Singel player is good despite the canon
discrepancies. Muliplayer wise the custom games and invasion were tonnes of fun but the standard multiplayer is one of the worse in the series along with Halo 4.

This is already one of the best years for games in this decade.

I played Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST and Reach in couch coop with my little brother. Now we can play them together again in better graphics and with proper aiming. This is gonna be good

I was talking about regular PvP. I would rank them 3>5>Reach>4 from my experience, can't put 2 on the list since I didn't play it's multiplayer in it's prime. Also ODST Firefight was better than Reach's.

Halo was also the franchise that made FPS games """"work"""" on consoles, bringing untold ruin to the genre.

hell yeah. Valve and MS join forces to fucking crush epic and fortnite zoomers

Playable on Win7 as well? I might get it then.

>I was talking about regular PvP
That's not what horde mode is.

this not being on the win10 store surprises me the most. im legit shocked.

I feel like that Galyonkin will send the Chinese to Microsoft now. Epic store after this I think its done.

yeah that's what i meant sorry, not exclusive to win10 store, my bad.

The system requirements don't specify Win10 atm, and it's on Steam. There's a fair chance it will work with Win7 and 8, but probably not.

No one used MS store. No one.

will this require me to be part of the windows 10 botnet?

That's actually a pretty valid question. Considering all games had splitscreen, I'd have high hopes for that to remain on the PC release.

Horde mode isn't PvP you absolute retard. Stop replying to me.

No sir.

It's very likely, but they didn't specifically state "Windows 10 exclusive."

Very nice

so this is nostalgia right? like, i played halo 1 to 3 and they are boring, floaty aim, unsatisfying gunfire, never understood the hype. a mouse isn't gonna make the games good my dudes

maybe if they add 5 to it, but i really don't see win10 being a requirement for the older games

Sounds like you played Resistance: Fall of Man by mistake.

Go play through CE again on PC, then come back and post again. It's really easy to find, just do it.

Reach actually has really nice feeling gunplay. SWAT will be so satisfying with mouse

If you consider that on 4chins, it's actually Gen X and Y calling each other Boomers and Zoomers, it makes more sense.

It got as big as it did because it was the first really succesful console FPS.

They never said that. I think MCC will just be a launcher and you have to buy the games as dlc essentially.

Their consoles are literally streaming devices.

The appeal was in the co-op and 3rd person driving, space alien war vibe. Shooting came second to muh atmosphere.

based quads of truth, that's what happened twice to me with halo CE back when it released on pc

Halo's been a dead series for years now. No one cares, and no one wants to play HD versions of decades old shooters that were barely playable back on their original consoles.

WHY CAN'T YOU FAGS JUST PLAY QUAKE IT'S MILES BETTER

Gaben is greedy but not that much

and fps are kinda starting to recover

There's nothing wrong with health regen you fucking goober. It's integral to the design of the game. It's about accuracy and well placed nades, not going super fast, shooting rockets down hallways and memorizing health locations.

Halo:CE was remastered for the MCC (even had a gimmick where you could swap between the new and old graphics), so I would imagine it was ported to DX12 at the time of them remastering it.

Probably the same with 2 as well.

Yeah I don’t mind using my old account as long as I don’t have to pay. There’s a reason they aren’t forcing people to pay for online on pc because Microsoft learned that lesson the hard way long ago.

No I mean the MCC, DX12 was announced in 2014 and the first games came a while later.
I suppose it is Microsoft though.

>buy halo 1 - reach on xbox/360 to coop with bro
>this is announced
On one hand, its easier to setup on xbox. On the other, i can use a keyboard and mouse.

>At Microsoft, we make every effort to respond to customer feedback, so when we received this feedback from Blizzard and other developers, we decided to act on it. Microsoft is pleased to announce that we have ported the user mode D3D12 runtime to Windows 7. This unblocks developers who want to take full advantage of the latest improvements in D3D12 while still supporting customers on older operating systems.

E3, I image. If they're releasing the games one at a time I don't see why they wouldn't let Reach out as soon as the conference was over, or get really showy and have it release right when the guy on the stage says so.

why are microsoft releasing xbox exclusives now

is windows 10 that important

you are too retarded to talk to people

It's probably more to do with this gen especially the Xbox underperforming. So they're taking advantage of Windows players to make up losses.

we got fucking Halo 2 on PC in fucking 2007, but it had to be the shittiest thing in existence

It's still not *right now* and my instant gratification is going crazy because I just want to enjoy some Halo again. I might have to boot up my Xbox for some single-player.

halo 2 never took off because we had half life 2

Windows 7 is unironically better then 10 is right now for general use. The only thing 10 has going for it is being newer and having a few features. The issue with 10 is that if you don't get specific versions that don't have a fuckload of the bloat removed you're going to get Win10 with a bunch of pointless bloatware. Also not being able to STOP auto updates is retarded.
It also says something when people make ways to make Windows 10 look more like 7.
All they had to do was make 10 look like 7 and not come with a load of pointless bloatware and tracking shit out of the box, and it would've been alright.
The only reason to use 10 is when 7 or even 8.1 is no longer supported.

Does MCC have the original intros and title screens from the individual games or is it something new?

Having Halo at all is great, but just think, with PC we can go even further beyond regular Halo.

Does it come with the ability to make maps? I missed out on the golden age of Halo 3 (and 4?) custom map modes.

It's surreal. I remember around 2000 being furious that Microsoft stole Bungie and Halo to make it a Xbox only flagship. And now Xbox is making the line between its consoles and PCs razor thin. At this rate I am pretty sure next console release there won't be Xbox exclusives unless the devs don't want to do a PC version (A'la RDR2).

You guys didn't win shit.

We all won today, let's just be happy Halo isn't gonna die off on a console not getting any eyes on it and we can enjoy Halo again on populated servers.

no, its all in game shit.

sorry nostalgiafag

boomer/zoomer are one of those terms that doesn't really mean anything, people use them for wildly different purposes/ranges.
It's like calling something in a game 'clunky'.

no, Yea Forums of course means the kids who were like 3-4 when halo 2 was new, the ones that grew up with halo 3 and cod4 as their "childhood defining game".

Remember how when the DMC shit started a bunch f old fags popped up? Its the same shit now and the retards trying to fit in by spouting terms they don't understand are trying to shit on them.

did gears of war remaster

So Half-life halo crossover when?

>Cutscene boob bounce.
Webm plox.

Halo 2 remaster Cortana is the best.

Purple Cortana was so much better than blue Cortana

Only the multiplayer, so they aren't the reason Gears can't hold a stable framerate.

How well have those games held up? I never played them.

Hell yeah it did
basically everything all the Covenant characters said was gold

im gonna fap to Cortana and Miranda Keys
there I said it, feels good to let it out.

ok so now the question is will it be like the xbox version where all the games run on the modified Reach engine?

this but unironically

sure that's why I'm asking about what is their involvement in this

So like
When is it coming out?

What I want most from this is for MCC to sell well on Steam so that MS start putting their shit on there and I don't have to deal with the fucky UWP shit from MS Store games.

>they fixed those issues a while back
Yeah it only took 4 years for MCC to work like it was supposed to at launch, go 343!

Reach is probably dropping this November with a $10 pricetag and then every game coming out after it one by one until halo 4 which will also have a $10 pricetag

sounds perfect, I will

are you shitting me?
fuck this announcement. fuck it to fucking fuck!
why wait that long? why put out the game in chunks if its an already finished product on xbox that has fucking existed for the last 5 fucking years?

>why wait that long?
Because they've been working on this port for probably 3-4 years at least
>why put out the game in chunks
>if its an already finished
It took them 4 years after release on consoles to get shit sorted out, I wouldn't doubt it if MCC on PC took another 3-5 years to be out and polished

Reminder that Reach was the worst in the series and the beginning of the end for Halo. It was so bad it killed the thriving H3 esports scene and caused Bungie to not only drop the IP completely, but leave Microsoft altogether. Armor abilities only made the game easier for shitters and removed the fun of pickups.

>caused Bungie to not only drop the IP completely, but leave Microsoft altogether
Fake news. Bungie wanted to leave the IP and Microsoft since Halo 3, but they were contractually obligated to make 2 more games. So they made ODST and Reach. Hence why neither game progresses the story and are prequels.

Oh so that's why Reach is so shit, they just wanted to get it over with.

idk man. i can imagine if another 5 years of artifacts come out that gabe might realize the company has lost its way and decide to give it up.

>bungie immediately runs off and start sucking activision's dick
Who gives a fuck? The people that wanted to get out were the enemies of halo anyway. Look what they did with Destiny

No kidding? I'll actually get that. And it's on Steam and not the retarded win10 store, no less. I only really played Halo 1 since I'm a PCfag but despite everyone screaming about how it was degenerate console shit I actually liked it. The enemies were really satisfying to fight and it had pretty good AI. Assuming this doesn't have a retarded price I'm in.

Yeah, hard to believe they made the original trilogy after that shitfest. Still doesn't change the fact that every zoomer faygit on this board loves Reach despite it being unbalanced trash trying to emulate COD.

Nice argument. About what you'd expect from a Reach fan.

FULLY

then why is Brink dead as fuck and tf2 is still rockin its lawnmower and monster?

Not only that but bungie made Marty O'Donnel make music for Destiny 1, 2 and 3 before they were even out and then shitcanned him when he complained that they used somebody else's music for the reveal trailer.

As a sidenote, fuck Fortnite for stealing away Unreal Tournament 4 development. AND FUCK EPIC GAMES EVEN MORE FOR SHOVELING IT TO THE BOTTOM OF THEIR STOREFRONT. DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR GODDAMN LEGACY ANYMORE DONT YA?

I don't know how i feel about this, cause no matter what you guys say the lobby system is still ass by virtue of juggling 4 different games with a really bad presentation

Just what we needed, a Halo where you can aimbot.

Cheaters are going to ruin this.

I remember the late 90's and PC Gamer had a video of an up and coming game called "Halo" for PC. I literally watched the video 8 times and ate like 4 choco popcicles.

I was enthralled.

They're releasing the games one by one and selling them separately, there's no way the lobby system is going to say the same when everybody are going to have different games.

Hate to break it to you, but there have been aimbotters in every console Halo.

Although there will be way more. That being said multiplayer online FPS games will always and forever be infested with cheaters. Don't even bother.

How shitty is your pc that you can't run 10 year old games?

I just realized I never actually finished Halo 3 but only watched the cutscenes on youtube. I played through the first 3 missions at a cousin's but couldn't afford a 360 until reach came out and never got around buying it.
Wow
If nobody likes it/can figure it out, it's called bad game design. On a side note, it's fucking stupid to think that such pin all the praise/blame of bringing shooters to consoles or a single game or franchise; you could praise the devs for being the first to figure it out and implement it, but bringing fps to consoles was a technological inevitability.

Do you know how many modded lobbies you'd fall into in CoD? How do you think they did that?

hownew.ru

Long story short, Epic Games (Fortnite/former Gears of War/Unreal devs) has their own digital storefront now, and it's pretty hated around here for three big reasons:
1. They've been purchasing exclusive access to lots of new and upcoming PC games, going so far as to get Metro Exodus yanked off Steam a week or two before it launched.
2. Epic is a subsidiary of Tencent, a huge Chinese company with lots of ties to the Chinese government
3. The Epic Store just kind of sucks, it's just a game store/launcher with no real feedback or community functionality. Even Origin has more features

I'm of the opinion that Legendary was a shit grind and Heroic was actually the best balanced and most fun mode overall.

An ideal PC port should allow for customization of the difficulty. Health system of Heroic, enemy HP in between Heroic and Legendary, AI level at Legendary; that would be the best combination.

Sounds gay mostly because of fortnite. I doubt anything could reasonably compete with steam at this point.

It's funny how Halo fans have taken over the board and now defend health regeneration. CoD copied many things from Halo, casualizing the genre.

It just means there's a new generation on Yea Forums now. In 2007 Yea Forums they would have shat on Halo in this thread.

You're talking to people that were born the year Halo CE came out. They grew up playing slow-walking console shooters with a fucking controller and health regen.

Cool news. I've probably walked every square nanometer of Halo and Halo 2 back in highschool.

It requires Xbox login so probably get Xbox achievements.

it's very gay. Fartnite went to Epic's heads (along with getting acquired by chinks sometime between Unreal Tournament 2004 and now) so they think they can go toe to toe with steam without even bothering with making their fortnite launcher look decent. It also probably has something to do with valve getting steam released in chinkland and tencent not very happy about their govt approved game launcher losing market share

Oh please. Stop with the lies and bait. Halo 2 started the regen health trend in a shooter, without the need for any health kits.
Halo CE at least was balanced with only partial health regeneeation.

I got killer instinct from the windows store, and it starts up immediately when you open it.
