343, even while part ex-Bungie devs, had no idea what made Halo... well, Halo. No matter how many time they tried, they couldnt nail it. Like every reboot ever pretty much.

They remastered CE for its 10th anniversary in 2011, MCC’s only new addition was the Halo 2 remaster

They already remastered Halo:CE in the Master Chief Collection. I know it was criticized as a bad remaster, but it’s weird to just do it again before…

The CE remaster was done by an outside company, and they based it on the gearbox PC port. So they didn't realise that all the glitches and bugs in the gearbox version shouldn't have been there. To 343's credit, when they "took ownership" of it in the MCC, they did fix a lot of those issues. Turns out having the original devs and artists still hanging around helps.

It is literally just a shiny coat of paint over the old engine though, so things like collisions are using the original map geometry while rendering uses the upgraded ones. There's a few places (on the level "Halo" iirc) where you can get stuck on invisible things that you can only see by turning off the new graphics.

I really enjoyed halo infinity. They also can't take away the thousands of hours i played in LAN parties and xbox live. It is sad that it is no longer the best party fps anymore, split screen is gone, and it is homogenized with every othet shooter since 2007.

2. Halo 3 still doesn't have a remaster. Why didn't they remaster/remake Halo 3 instead?

Because the PlayStation fanboys want an origin story, not the end of a three-games-worth-of-story trilogy. They're probably going to release MCC on PS5 in 2027

It's not entirely in the Unreal Engine 5. They use it on top of their old engine if I understand it correctly. Probably similar to how Oblivion Remake was handled. But from the gameplay, it was not entirely smooth. On the other hand, this is still in development. If the rest of the game runs like this, it will be okay.

Even if there was, would you buy it? Just looking at everything the company is currently doing to destroy the brand, should be enough to turn anyone off. Even if you are a diehard of Halo or Gears or Fallout etc, you can play then on, apparently, anything else.

I think back to the 360 days, all the fun, the friends I made, the games I played, and its heart breaking seeing what its been turned into by this gaggle of cave brained cunts who seek profits over fun.

Highly doubt it. IF they do release something it'll probably be a streaming box. but yeah I doubt they're going to release another console.

Speaking to Variety, Xbox president Sarah Bond notes that the company is working on hardware. While some of the interview focuses on the recently-released ROG Xbox Ally devices, Bond does outright confirm that Microsoft has "next-gen hardware in development."

Yeah I’m out. I never got a series X/S. I still play my One X and don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything. I’ve already decided my next “console” will be a PC running Linux in the living room with some controllers.

They said 2-player splitscreen on console.

Halo 4 had some build up to its antagonist. It was like the flood, where the level introduces an unknown enemy force, and you have to fight until someone tells you why the force is trying to stop you, then continue to fight said force until the end of the game. The buildup fights only differ in tone: CE meant for the player to panic throgh fear, and H4 tries to make the player panic by having Cortana shout at Master Chief "go faster we're in danger"

Who would buy that?
